< Numbers 9 >

1 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:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ndị a nʼọzara Saịnaị nʼọnwa mbụ nʼafọ nke abụọ site nʼoge ha hapụrụ ala Ijipt. Ọ sịrị ya,
2 “The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge a kara aka.
3 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.”
Ha mee ya nʼoge a kara aka, malite nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa a. Ha ga-eme ya nʼusoro dịka iwu na ụkpụrụ e ji eme ya si dị.”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,
Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga.
5 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.
Ha mekwara ya nʼọzara Saịnaị malite nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ. Ndị Izrel mere ihe niile nʼusoro dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
6 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
Ma ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel esoghị mee Mmemme Ngabiga ahụ nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ site nʼịnọ ozu nso. Nʼihi ya, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Erọn nʼụbọchị ahụ,
7 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?”
sị Mosis, “Anyị ghọrọ ndị rụrụ arụ nʼihi ịnọ ozu mmadụ nso. Gịnị ga-egbochi anyị iso ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ iwetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nʼoge a kara aka?”
8 “Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
Mosis zara sị ha, “Cherenụ ka m ga jụta Onyenwe anyị ihe bụ uche ya banyere mkpa unu.”
9 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
10 “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.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na e nwee onye Izrel ọbụla nke merụrụ onwe ya nʼoge Mmemme Ngabiga site nʼịnọ ozu mmadụ nso, maọbụ site nʼịnọ nʼije, ha nwekwara ike iso mee Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị.
11 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;
Kama ha ga-eme ya nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa abụọ. Ha ga-eri nwa atụrụ ha, achịcha na-ekoghị eko, na ahịhịa ilu.
12 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.
Ha agaghị erifọ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya ruo chi ọbụbọ ụbọchị so ya. Ha agaghị agbaji ọkpụkpụ ọbụla nke nwa atụrụ ahụ. Mgbe ha mere Mmemme Ngabiga, ha ga-esorokwa ụzọ niile e si eme mmemme ahụ mee nke ha.
13 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.
Ma ọbụla nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha, onye nke na-anọghị nʼije nʼoge Mmemme Ngabiga ma kpachapụrụ anya hapụ isoro ndị ọzọ nʼoge mmemme a, a ga-ewezuga ya site nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel niile, nʼihi na ọ jụrụ iwetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nʼoge a kara aka. Onye dị otu a ga-ebu ahụhụ mmehie ya nʼisi ya.
14 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.’”
“‘Onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu chọrọ iso na Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-eme ya nʼusoro dịka iwu na ụkpụrụ e nyere si dị. Unu ga-enwe otu iwu ahụ nye onye amụrụ nʼala na mbịarambịa.’”
15 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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ e guzobere ụlọ nzute ahụ bụ ụlọ ikwu nke igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, igwe ojii kpuchiri ya. Site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼụtụtụ igwe ojii ahụ dị nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ dịka ọkụ nʼile anya.
16 It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.
Otu a ka ọ dịgidere mgbe niile. Igwe ojii kpuchigidere ya, ma nʼabalị ọ na-acha dị ka ọkụ.
17 Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.
Mgbe ọ bụla igwe ojii ahụ si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem, ma mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide, ha na-anọgidekwa.
18 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.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyekwara iwu, ha na-akwụsị, maa ụlọ ikwu ha. Oge niile igwe ojii nọgidere nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ ka ụmụ Izrel na-anọgidekwa nʼụlọ ikwu ha.
19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.
Ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ anọọtee anya, ụmụ Izrel nʼonwe ha na-erube isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị hapụ ịga nʼihu nʼije ha.
20 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.
Oge ụfọdụ, igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide naanị abalị ole na ole. Dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị si dị, ha na-ama ụlọ ikwu ha, maọbụ bulie njem ha.
21 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.
Oge ụfọdụ, igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide naanị site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼụtụtụ. Mgbe o si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie nʼụtụtụ, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem ha. Ọ bụrụ nʼehihie, maọbụ nʼabalị, mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ biliri, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem ha.
22 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.
Ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ anọdụ nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ abalị abụọ, maọbụ otu ọnwa, maọbụ otu afọ, ụmụ Izrel na-anọgide nʼụlọ ikwu ha. Ma ngwangwa igwe ojii ahụ biliri, ha onwe ha na-ebulikwa njem ha.
23 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.
Site nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye, ha na-ama ụlọ ikwu ha, sitekwa nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ha, ha na-ebili njem. Ha mere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru nʼusoro dịka iwu o nyere ha site nʼọnụ Mosis si dị.
