Numbers 9
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,
出埃及國後第二年正月，上主在西乃曠野吩咐梅瑟說：「
2 Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set time;
以色列子民在定期內當舉行踰越節。
3 on the fourteenth day in this month between the two evenings, ye shall hold it at its set time; according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof shall ye hold it.
於本月十四日黃昏時，在定期內舉行此節；應按一切規定和禮儀舉行。」
4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should hold the passover.
梅瑟遂號令以色列子民舉行踰越節。
5 And they held the passover in the first [month] on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
他們就在正月十四日黃昏，於西乃曠野舉行了踰越節；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，以色列子民就怎樣做了。
6 And there were men, who were unclean through the dead body of a man, and could not hold the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
但是，有些人因沾染了死人的不潔，不能在那一天舉行踰越節，就在那天來到梅瑟和亞郎前；
7 And those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not present the offering of Jehovah at its set time among the children of Israel?
這些人對他說：「我們沾染了死人的不潔；為什麼我們就被拒絕，而不能在以色列子民中，於定期內奉獻上主供物﹖」
8 And Moses said to them, Stay, and I will hear what Jehovah commands concerning you.
梅瑟對他們說：「你們等一下，我去聽上主對你們有何吩咐。」
9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
上主吩咐梅瑟說：「
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall hold the passover to Jehovah.
你訓示以色列子民說：幾時你們中或你們後裔中，若有人沾了死人的不潔，或因到遠方旅行，仍要為上主舉行踰越節，
11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two evenings, shall they hold it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.
應在二月十四日黃昏舉行，同時吃無酵餅和苦菜，
12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to every ordinance of the passover shall they hold it.
不要剩下什麼到早晨，也不要折斷羔羊的骨頭：應全依照踰越節的規定舉行此節。
13 But a man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to hold the passover, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples; because he presented not the offering of Jehovah at its set time: that man shall bear his sin.
但如有人是潔淨的，又不在旅行中，竟忽略了過踰越節，這人就應由民間剷除，因為他沒有在定期內奉獻上主供物，這人應自負罪債。
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, according to the rite of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do. Ye shall have one rite, both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land.
至於與你們同住的僑民，若為上主舉行踰越節，應按照踰越節的規定和禮儀舉行；不論是僑民，或是本國公民，你們應守同樣的法律。」
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the morning.
在豎立帳幕那一天，有雲彩遮蓋了帳幕，即會幕；到晚上雲彩停在帳幕上，形狀似火，直到早晨。
16 So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night it was as the appearance of fire.
白天有雲彩遮蓋，夜間雲彩形狀似火：常是如此。
17 And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel encamped.
幾時雲彩由帳幕上升起，以色列子民隨即起程；雲彩在那裏停住了，以色列子民就在那裏紮營。
18 According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they [remained] encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt upon the tabernacle they encamped.
以色列子民照上主的命令起程，亦照上主的命令紮營：雲彩停留在帳幕上幾日，他們就幾日紮營不動。
19 And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.
雲彩若多日停留在帳幕上，以色列子民就遵照上主的命令，不移營前行。
20 And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.
有時雲彩只數日停留在帳幕上，他們就依照上主的命令紮營不動，並依照上主的命令起程。
21 And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the cloud was taken up, they journeyed;
有時雲彩從晚上到早晨停住，一到早晨就上升，他們就隨之起程；或者一日一夜以後纔上升，他們也隨之起程。
22 or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of Israel [remained] encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
如雲彩兩日或一月，或一年停留在帳幕上，無論停留多久，以色列子民也就安營不動多久；只在雲彩上升時，方起程前行。
23 At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.
他們依照上主的命令紮營，依照上主的命令起程；他們全照上主藉梅瑟所吩咐的，遵守上主的訓示。
