Numbers 9

1 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,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina ʻo hono ua taʻu hili ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,

2 “Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.

“Tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kenau fai foki ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa.

3 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.”

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe māhina ni, ʻi he efiafi, te mou fai ia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa: ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea te mou fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē.”

4 Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kenau fai ʻae Lakaatu.

5 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.

Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai: ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe fai pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

6 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.

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata niʻihi, naʻa nau taʻemaʻa ʻi he sino mate ʻo ha tangata, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻaho ko ia:

7 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 among the children of Israel?”

Pea naʻe lea pehē ʻae kau tangata ko ia kiate ia, “ʻOku mau ʻuli ʻi he sino mate ʻoe tangata: ko e hā kuo taʻofi ai ʻakimautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mau ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi hono kuonga kuo kotofa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?”

8 Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Mou tatali, kaeʻoua ke u fanongo pe ko e hā ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu.”

9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

10 “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.

Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē, “Kapau ʻe taʻemaʻa ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻi homou hako koeʻuhi ko e sino mate, pea mo ia ʻoku fononga mamaʻo, ʻe fai pe ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻo hono ua māhina ʻi he efiafi tenau fai ia, pea ʻe kai fakataha ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani mo e ngaahi ʻakau kona.

12 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.

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau tuku hono toe ki he ʻapongipongi, pe fesiʻi ha hui ʻi ai: tenau fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu.

13 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 did not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Ka ko e tangata ʻoku maʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai fononga mamaʻo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻe ia ʻae laka-atu, ko e tangata ko ia ʻe tuʻusi mei hono kakai: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻaho kuo kotofa; ʻe fua ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻa ʻene angahala.

14 “‘If a foreigner lives among 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.’”

“Pea kapau ʻe ʻāunofo ha muli ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova; ʻe fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu, pea fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻe pehē ʻene fai: ko e fekau pe taha te mou maʻu ki he muli, pea mo ia ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he fonua.”

15 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.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae fale fehikitaki naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni: pea naʻe ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he efiafi ʻae meʻa ʻo hangē ko e afi, ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi.

16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

Naʻe pehē maʻuaipē: naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pea hangē ko e afi ʻi he pō.

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

Pea ʻoka toʻo hake ʻae ʻao mei he fale fehikitaki, hili ia, naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ko e potu naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae ʻao, ko ia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ai honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

18 At the commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.

Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea nau nofo ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻo hangē ko hono fuoloa ʻoe nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki.

19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and did not travel.

Pea ka tatali fuoloa ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻaho lahi, naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he tauhi ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fononga.

20 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 traveled.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi; ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.

21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.

Pea naʻe pehē, ka tuʻu ʻae ʻao mei he efiafi ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi, pea toki toʻo hake ʻae ʻao ʻi he pongipongi, naʻa nau fononga: ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō kuo toʻo hake ai ʻae ʻao naʻa nau fononga.

22 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 did not travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.

Pea kapau ko e ʻaho ʻe ua, pe taha māhina, pe taha taʻu, mo e tuʻu ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki, ʻo tuʻumaʻu ai, naʻe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fononga: pea ʻi hono toʻo hake ia naʻa nau fononga.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they traveled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

Pea naʻa nau mālōlō ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau fai ki he pule ʻa Sihova, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
