Numeri 9
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose mʼchipululu cha Sinai pa mwezi woyamba wa chaka chachiwiri atatuluka mu Igupto, nati,
The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Aisraeli azichita Paska pa nthawi yake yoyikika.
“Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
3 Muzichita Paska pa nthawi yake yoyikika, madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi uno, potsata malamulo ndi malangizo ake.”
On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
4 Choncho Mose anawuza Aisraeli kuti azichita Paska,
Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.
5 ndipo anachitadi Paskayo mʼchipululu cha Sinai madzulo a tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba. Aisraeli anachita zonse monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 Koma ena a iwo sanathe kuchita nawo Paska pa tsiku limenelo chifukwa anali odetsedwa chifukwa chokhudza mtembo. Choncho anabwera kwa Mose ndi Aaroni tsiku lomwelo,
There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
7 ndipo anawuza Moseyo kuti, “Ife tadetsedwa chifukwa cha mtembo wa munthu. Nʼchifukwa chiyani taletsedwa kupereka nsembe kwa Yehova pamodzi ndi Aisraeli ena pa nthawi yake?”
Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season amongst the children of Israel?”
8 Mose anawayankha kuti, “Dikirani mpaka nditamva zimene Yehova walamula zokhudza Inu.”
Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”
9 Ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pamene wina mwa inu kapena zidzukulu zanu adetsedwa chifukwa chokhudza mtembo wa munthu, kapena akakhala pa ulendo, akhoza kuchita nawo Paska ya Yehova.
“Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to the LORD.
11 Azichita chikondwererochi madzulo a pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wachiwiri. Azidya mwana wankhosa wamwamuna pamodzi ndi buledi wopanda yisiti ndi ndiwo zowawa zamasamba.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 Iwo asasiye nyama ina iliyonse mpaka mmawa. Asaswe mafupa aliwonse. Pamene akuchita chikondwerero cha Paska, atsate malangizo onse.
They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
13 Koma ngati munthu wina ali woyeretsedwa ndipo sali pa ulendo koma alephera kuchita Paska, munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake chifukwa sanabweretse chopereka cha Yehova pa nthawi yake. Munthu ameneyo adzalangidwa chifukwa cha tchimo lake.
But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
14 “‘Mlendo amene akukhala pakati panu, nafuna kuchita nawo Paska ya Yehova, achite nawo motsata malamulo ndi malangizo ake. Muzikhala ndi malangizo ofanana a Paska; mbadwa kapena mlendo.’”
“‘If a foreigner lives amongst you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is born in the land.’”
15 Pa tsiku limene anayimika chihema, tenti ya umboni, mtambo unaphimba chihemacho. Kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa, mtambo umene unali pamwamba pa chihemacho unkaoneka ngati moto.
On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16 Zinkachitika motere mosalekeza: mtambo unkakhala pamwamba pa chihema, ndipo usiku unkaoneka ngati moto.
So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17 Nthawi ina iliyonse mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso, ndipo paliponse pamene mtambo wayima, Aisraeli ankamangapo misasa.
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel travelled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
18 Aisraeli ankasamuka pamalopo Yehova akawalamula, ndipo ankamanganso misasa Iyeyo akawalamula. Nthawi yonse imene mtambowo wayima pa chihema, ankakhalabe mʼmisasa yawo.
At the commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel travelled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
19 Mtambowo ukakhala pa chihema nthawi yayitali, Aisraeli ankasungabe lamulo la Yehova ndipo iwo sankasamukanso.
When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t travel.
20 Nthawi zina mtambowo unkakhala pa chihemapo masiku owerengeka. Aisraeli ankamanga misasa molamulidwa ndi Yehova ndipo ankasamukanso molamulidwa ndi Iyeyo.
Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they travelled.
21 Nthawi zina mtambo unkakhala kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa ndipo unkachoka mmawa mwake, ankasamuka. Kaya ndi masana kapena usiku, pamene mtambo wachoka, ankasamuka.
Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they travelled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they travelled.
22 Ngakhale mtambo ukhale pa chihema masiku awiri kapena mwezi kapena chaka, Aisraeli ankakhalabe pa msasa osachoka. Koma ukachoka, ankasamuka.
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they travelled.
23 Molamulidwa ndi Yehova ankamanga misasa yawo ndipo ankasamukanso Yehova akawalamula. Ankamvera lamulo la Yehova kudzera mwa Mose.
At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they travelled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.
