< Numbers 9 >

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying:
以色列人出埃及地以后,第二年正月,耶和华在西奈的旷野吩咐摩西说:
2 'Let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.
“以色列人应当在所定的日期守逾越节,
3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at dusk, ye shall keep it in its appointed season; according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it.'
就是本月十四日黄昏的时候,你们要在所定的日期守这节,要按这节的律例典章而守。”
4 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
于是摩西吩咐以色列人守逾越节。
5 And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at dusk, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
他们就在西奈的旷野,正月十四日黄昏的时候,守逾越节。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的,以色列人都照样行了。
6 But there were certain men, who were unclean by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
有几个人因死尸而不洁净,不能在那日守逾越节。当日他们到摩西、亚伦面前,
7 And those men said unto him: 'We are unclean by the dead body of a man; wherefore are we to be kept back, so as not to bring the offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?'
说:“我们虽因死尸而不洁净,为何被阻止、不得同以色列人在所定的日期献耶和华的供物呢?”
8 And Moses said unto them: 'Stay ye, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.'
摩西对他们说:“你们暂且等候,我可以去听耶和华指着你们是怎样吩咐的。”
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
耶和华对摩西说:
10 'Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD;
“你晓谕以色列人说:你们和你们后代中,若有人因死尸而不洁净,或在远方行路,还要向耶和华守逾越节。
11 in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
他们要在二月十四日黄昏的时候,守逾越节。要用无酵饼与苦菜,和逾越节的羊羔同吃。
12 they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof; according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.
一点不可留到早晨;羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。他们要照逾越节的一切律例而守。
13 But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he brought not the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
那洁净而不行路的人若推辞不守逾越节,那人要从民中剪除;因为他在所定的日期不献耶和华的供物,应该担当他的罪。
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD: according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do; ye shall have one statute, both for the stranger, and for him that is born in the land.'
若有外人寄居在你们中间,愿意向耶和华守逾越节,他要照逾越节的律例典章行,不管是寄居的是本地人,同归一例。”
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony; and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
立起帐幕的那日,有云彩遮盖帐幕,就是法柜的帐幕;从晚上到早晨,云彩在其上,形状如火。
16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
常是这样,云彩遮盖帐幕,夜间形状如火。
17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped.
云彩几时从帐幕收上去,以色列人就几时起行;云彩在哪里停住,以色列人就在那里安营。
18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped.
以色列人遵耶和华的吩咐起行,也遵耶和华的吩咐安营。云彩在帐幕上停住几时,他们就住营几时。
19 And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
云彩在帐幕上停留许多日子,以色列人就守耶和华所吩咐的不起行。
20 And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
有时云彩在帐幕上几天,他们就照耶和华的吩咐住营,也照耶和华的吩咐起行。
21 And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed; or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
有时从晚上到早晨,有这云彩在帐幕上;早晨云彩收上去,他们就起行。有时昼夜云彩停在帐幕上,收上去的时候,他们就起行。
22 Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
云彩停留在帐幕上,无论是两天,是一月,是一年,以色列人就住营不起行;但云彩收上去,他们就起行。
23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed; they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
他们遵耶和华的吩咐安营,也遵耶和华的吩咐起行。他们守耶和华所吩咐的,都是凭耶和华吩咐摩西的。
