< Numbers 9 >

1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert in the first month of the second year after Israel had left Egypt. He told him,
Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai anno secundo, postquam egressi sunt de terra Ægypti, mense primo, dicens:
2 “The Israelites are to keep the Passover at its designated time.
Faciant filii Israël Phase in tempore suo,
3 Observe it at the time required—in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of this month, and do so in accordance with its rules and regulations.”
quartadecima die mensis hujus ad vesperam, juxta omnes cæremonias et justificationes ejus.
4 Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover.
Præcepitque Moyses filiis Israël ut facerent Phase.
5 So they kept the Passover in the Sinai desert, beginning in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites followed all the instructions the Lord had given to Moses.
Qui fecerunt tempore suo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam, in monte Sinai. Juxta omnia quæ mandaverat Dominus Moysi, fecerunt filii Israël.
6 However, there were some men who were unclean because they had been contact with a dead body, so they could not keep the Passover on that day. They went to see Moses and Aaron the same day
Ecce autem quidam immundi super anima hominis, qui non poterant facere Phase in die illo, accedentes ad Moysen et Aaron,
7 and explained to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should that mean we're prevented from giving our offering to the Lord with the other Israelites at the appropriate time?”
dixerunt eis: Immundi sumus super anima hominis: quare fraudamur ut non valeamus oblationem offerre Domino in tempore suo inter filios Israël?
8 “Stay here while I find out what the Lord's instructions are concerning you,” Moses responded.
Quibus respondit Moyses: State ut consulam quid præcipiat Dominus de vobis.
9 The Lord told Moses,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘If you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are away traveling, you can still keep the Lord's Passover.
Loquere filiis Israël: Homo, qui fuerit immundus super anima, sive in via procul in gente vestra, faciat Phase Domino
11 You are to observe it in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the second month. You are to eat the lamb with the bread made without yeast, and the bitter herbs.
in mense secundo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam. Cum azymis et lactucis agrestibus comedent illud:
12 You must not leave any of it until the following morning and you must not break any of its bones. You must observe the Passover according to all the regulations.
non relinquent ex eo quippiam usque mane, et os ejus non confringent: omnem ritum Phase observabunt.
13 However, anyone ceremonially clean and not away traveling who neglects to observe the Passover must be expelled from their people, because they didn't present the Lord's offering at the appropriate time. They will bear the responsibility for the consequences of their sin.
Si quis autem et mundus est, et in itinere non fuit, et tamen non fecit Phase, exterminabitur anima illa de populis suis, quia sacrificium Domino non obtulit tempore suo: peccatum suum ipse portabit.
14 Any foreigners living among you who want to observe the Lord's Passover can do so following the Passover rules and regulations. The same rules apply to the foreigners as they do to you.’”
Peregrinus quoque et advena si fuerint apud vos, facient Phase Domino juxta cæremonias et justificationes ejus. Præceptum idem erit apud vos tam advenæ quam indigenæ.
15 The cloud covered the Tent of the Testimony (the Tabernacle) on the day that it was set up, and looked like fire above it from evening until the morning.
Igitur die qua erectum est tabernaculum, operuit illud nubes. A vespere autem super tentorium erat quasi species ignis usque mane.
16 It was always like this. The cloud covered the Tabernacle during the day and at night it looked like fire.
Sic fiebat jugiter: per diem operiebat illud nubes, et per noctem quasi species ignis.
17 When the cloud rose from over the Tent, the Israelites would move on, and where the cloud stopped, the Israelites would set up camp there.
Cumque ablata fuisset nubes, quæ tabernaculum protegebat, tunc proficiscebantur filii Israël: et in loco ubi stetisset nubes, ibi castrametabantur.
18 The Israelites moved on when the Lord told them to, and set up camp when the Lord told them to. While the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle, they remained camped there.
Ad imperium Domini proficiscebantur, et ad imperium illius figebant tabernaculum. Cunctis diebus quibus stabat nubes super tabernaculum, manebant in eodem loco:
19 Even if the cloud didn't move for a long time, the Israelites did what the Lord told them and didn't move on.
et si evenisset ut multo tempore maneret super illud, erant filii Israël in excubiis Domini, et non proficiscebantur
20 Sometimes the cloud only stayed over the Tabernacle for a few days. As always they followed the Lord's command as to whether to camp or to move on.
quot diebus fuisset nubes super tabernaculum. Ad imperium Domini erigebant tentoria, et ad imperium illius deponebant.
21 Sometimes the cloud only stayed overnight, so when it rose in the morning they would move on. Whenever the cloud rose, day or night, they would leave.
Si fuisset nubes a vespere usque mane, et statim diluculo tabernaculum reliquisset, proficiscebantur: et si post diem et noctem recessisset, dissipabant tentoria.
22 If the cloud stayed in one place for two days, or a month, or longer, the Israelites stayed where they were and didn't leave as long as the cloud remained over the Tabernacle. However, once it rose, they would leave.
Si vero biduo aut uno mense vel longiori tempore fuisset super tabernaculum, manebant filii Israël in eodem loco, et non proficiscebantur: statim autem ut recessisset, movebant castra.
23 They camped when the Lord told them to, and left when he told them to. They followed the Lord's instructions that he gave to Moses.
Per verbum Domini figebant tentoria, et per verbum illius proficiscebantur: erantque in excubiis Domini juxta imperium ejus per manum Moysi.
