< Numbers 9 >

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the wildernes of Sinai, in the first moneth of the second yeere, after they were come out of 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 The children of Israel shall also celebrate the Passeouer at ye time appointed thereunto.
以色列子民在定期內當舉行踰越節。
3 In the fourtenth day of this moneth at euen, ye shall keepe it in his due season: according to all the ordinances of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof shall ye keepe 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 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passeouer.
梅瑟遂號令以色列子民舉行踰越節。
5 And they kept the Passeouer in the fouretenth day of the first moneth at euen in the wildernesse of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had comanded Moses, so did ye 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 certaine men were defiled by a dead man, that they might not keepe the Passeouer the same day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron the same 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 vnto him, We are defiled by a dead man: wherefore are wee kept backe that we may not offer an offering vnto the Lord in the time thereunto appointed 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 Then Moses saide vnto them, Stande still, and I will heare what the Lord will commande 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 the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
上主吩咐梅瑟說:「
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, If any amog you, or of your posteritie shalbe vncleane by ye reason of a corps, or be in a log iourney, he shall keepe the Passeouer vnto ye Lord.
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 fourtenth day of the second moneth at euen they shall keepe it: with vnleauened bread and sowre herbes shall they eate it.
應在二月十四日黃昏舉行,同時吃無酵餅和苦菜,
12 They shall leaue none of it vnto the morning, nor breake any bone of it: according to all the ordinance of the Passeouer shall they keepe 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 the man that is cleane and is not in a iourney, and is negligent to keepe the Passeouer, the same person shalbe cut off from his people: because he brought not the offring of the Lord in his due season, that man shall beare his sinne.
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 dwell among you, and wil keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord, as the ordinance of the Passeouer, and as the maner thereof is, so shall he do: ye shall haue one lawe both for the stranger, and for him that was borne in the same lande.
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 when the Tabernacle was reared vp, a cloude couered the Tabernacle, namely the Tabernacle of the Testimonie: and at euen there was vpon the Tabernacle, as the appearance of fire vntill 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 alway: the cloude couered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
白天有雲彩遮蓋,夜間雲彩形狀似火:常是如此。
17 And when the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle, then afterwarde the children of Israel iourneyed: and in the place where the cloude abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
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 At the commandement of the Lord the children of Israel iourneyed, and at the comandement of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloude abode vpon the Tabernacle, they lay still.
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 cloude taryed stil vpon the Tabernacle a long time, the childre of Israel kept the watch of the Lord, and iourneyed 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 So when the cloud abode a few dayes vpon the Tabernacle, they abode in their tents according to the comandement of ye Lord: for they iourneyed at the commandement of the Lord.
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 though the cloud abode vpon the Tabernacle from euen vnto the morning, yet if the cloude was taken vp in the morning, then they iourneyed: whether by daye or by night the cloude was taken vp, then they iourneyed.
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 if the cloude taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a yeere vpon the Tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel abode still, and iourneyed not: but when it was taken vp, they iourneyed.
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 commandement of the Lord they pitched, and at the commandement of the Lord they iourneyed, keeping the watch of the Lord at the commandement of the Lord by the hand of 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。
