< 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,
Bwana akasema na Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai katika mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wa pili baada ya Waisraeli kutoka Misri. Akasema,
2 The children of Israel shall also celebrate the Passeouer at ye time appointed thereunto.
“Waamuru Waisraeli waadhimishe Pasaka katika wakati ulioamriwa.
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.
Adhimisheni wakati ulioamriwa, yaani wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi huu, kufuatana na desturi zake zote na masharti yake.”
4 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passeouer.
Hivyo Mose akawaambia Waisraeli waiadhimishe Pasaka,
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.
nao wakafanya hivyo kwenye Jangwa la Sinai wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza. Waisraeli wakafanya kila kitu kama vile Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
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.
Lakini baadhi yao hawakuweza kuadhimisha Pasaka siku ile kwa sababu walikuwa najisi kwa taratibu za kiibada kwa ajili ya kugusa maiti. Kwa hiyo wakamwendea Mose na Aroni siku ile ile,
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?
wakamwambia Mose, “Tumekuwa najisi kwa sababu tumegusa maiti, lakini kwa nini tuzuiliwe kumtolea Bwana sadaka yake pamoja na Waisraeli wengine katika wakati ulioamriwa?”
8 Then Moses saide vnto them, Stande still, and I will heare what the Lord will commande concerning you.
Mose akawajibu, “Ngojeni mpaka nitafute kile Bwana anachoagiza kuwahusu ninyi.”
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Wakati mmoja wenu au wazao wenu wanapokuwa najisi kwa sababu ya maiti au wakiwa safarini, hata hivyo wanaweza kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana.
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.
Wataiadhimisha wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa pili. Watamla mwana-kondoo, pamoja na mkate usiotiwa chachu, na mboga chungu.
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.
Wasibakize chochote hadi asubuhi wala wasivunje mifupa ya mwana-kondoo. Wakati wanapoadhimisha Pasaka, hawana budi kufuata masharti yote.
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.
Lakini kama mtu ni safi kwa taratibu za kiibada naye hayuko safarini, asipoadhimisha Pasaka, mtu huyo hana budi kukatiliwa mbali na watu wake kwa sababu hakutoa sadaka ya Bwana kwa wakati ulioamriwa. Mtu huyo atawajibika kubeba matokeo ya dhambi yake.
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.
“‘Mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu ambaye anataka kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana, lazima afanye hivyo kwa kufuata desturi na masharti. Lazima masharti yawe sawasawa kwa mgeni na mzawa.’”
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.
Katika siku hiyo ambayo Maskani, Hema la Ushuhuda, iliposimamishwa, wingu liliifunika. Kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi wingu lililokuwa juu ya Maskani lilionekana kama moto.
16 So it was alway: the cloude couered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
Hivyo ndivyo lilivyoendelea kuwa; wingu liliifunika wakati wa mchana, na usiku lilionekana kama moto.
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.
Wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Hema, nao Waisraeli waliondoka; mahali popote wingu liliposimama, Waisraeli walipiga kambi.
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.
Kwa amri ya Bwana Waisraeli waliondoka, na kwa amri yake walipiga kambi. Kwa muda wote wingu liliposimama juu ya Maskani, Waisraeli walibaki wamepiga kambi.
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.
Wakati wingu lilipobaki juu ya Maskani kwa muda mrefu, Waisraeli walitii amri ya Bwana nao hawakuondoka.
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.
Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwa juu ya Maskani kwa siku chache tu; kwa amri ya Bwana wangelipiga kambi na kisha kwa amri yake wangeliondoka.
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.
Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwepo kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi tu, na lilipoinuka asubuhi, nao waliondoka. Ikiwa ni mchana au usiku, wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka, waliondoka.
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.
Ikiwa wingu lilikaa juu ya Maskani kwa siku mbili au mwezi au mwaka, Waisraeli wangebaki wamepiga kambi na hawakuondoka; lakini lilipoinuka, wangeondoka.
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.
Kwa amri ya Bwana walipiga kambi, na kwa amri ya Bwana waliondoka. Walitii amri ya Bwana, kufuatana na agizo lake kupitia Mose.
