< Nambar 9 >

1 Izip prae hoi tacawt o pacoeng, saning hnetto haih, khrah hmaloe koek naah, Sinai praezaek ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:
2 atue phak naah Israel kaminawk misong loihaih ni to uumsak ah.
“The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.
3 Sakhaih atawk baktih, sakhaih daan baktih toengah, hae khrah hatlai palito, duembang phak naah loe, uumhaih poih to sah oh, tiah a naa.
You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”
4 To pongah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah, misong loihaih poih to sak o hanah a thuih pae.
So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,
5 To pongah khrah tangsuek, ni hatlai palito naah, Sinai praezaek ah misong loihaih poih to a sak o; Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah sak o.
and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 Toe kadueh kami pongah kaciim ai thoemto kaminawk loe, misong loihaih poih to sah o thai ai pongah, Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah angzoh o moe,
But there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron that same day
7 Mosi khaeah, Kadueh kami pongah kaicae loe ka ciim o ai boeh; tipongah atue phak naah kalah Israel kaminawk baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih nang sahsak ai loe? tiah a naa o.
and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”
8 Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae kawng pongah Angraeng mah lok na paek ai karoek to, zing o raeh, tiah a naa.
“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
9 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
10 Israel kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae hoi na caanawk loe kadueh kami pongah ciimcai ai ah na oh o moe, kholong kangthla ah na caeh o cadoeh, misong loihaih poih to na sah o thai tih.
“Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.
11 Khrah hnetto haih, ni hatlai palito, duembang ah sah oh; nihcae mah tuucaa moi hoi aan kakhaa to taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoiah nawnto caak o han oh.
Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12 Moi to khawnbang khoek to amtlai o sak han om ai; ahuh to khaek ai ah, misong loihaih poih sakhaih atawk baktih toengah sak o han oh.
they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.
13 Toe amhnonghaih om ai, kholong ah doeh caeh ai to mah, misong loihaih poih to sah ai kami loe, atue phak naah Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih sah ai pongah, anih to angmah ih kaminawk salak hoiah takhoe ving han oh; anih loe zaehaih atho to hnu tih.
But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
14 Nangcae khaeah kaom angvin mah Angraeng hanah misong loihaih ni to uum han koeh nahaeloe, sak zong ih misong loihaih baktih, poih sakhaih atawk baktih toengah a sak han oh; prae kami hoi angvin hanah poih sakhaih dan kangvan ah sah paeh, tiah a naa.
If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”
15 Kahni im sakhaih niah, hnukung ah kaom, kahni im to tamai mah khuk hmoek; duembang hoi akhawnbang khoek to kahni im ranui ah hmai baktiah amtueng.
On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.
16 To tiah oh poe; athun ah tamai mah khuk moe, aqum ah hmai baktiah amtueng.
It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.
17 Tamai mah kahni im to caehtaak naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o moe, tamai tabok naah, Israel kaminawk mah im to sak o.
Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.
18 Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah nihcae mah im to sak o; kahni im nuiah tamai oh nathung, nihcae loe angmacae ih kahni im ah anghak o.
At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.
19 Kahni im nuiah atue kasawk ah tamai oh naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o ai, Angraeng mah paek ih lok to a zing o.
Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.
20 Kahni im nuiah atue setta thung tamai tabok naah loe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah anghak o; to pacoengah Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah kholong caeh o let.
Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.
21 Duembang hoi akhawnbang khoek to tamai tabok moe, akhawnbang ah tamai van bangah angkhong tahang naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o; khodai ah doeh, khoving ah doeh, tamai angkhong tahang kruek, kholong a caeh o.
Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.
22 Kahni im nuiah ni hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe khrah to maw, to tih ai boeh loe saningto maw, tamai mah khuk nahaeloe, Israel kaminawk loe tamai oh nathung kholong caeh o mak ai, anghak o tih; toe tamai van ah angkhong tahang nahaeloe, nihcae mah kholong caeh amsak o tih.
Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.
23 Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe im ah anghak o moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe kholong caeh amsak o; Angraeng mah Mosi ban ah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o.
They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
