< 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:
Pada bulan satu dalam tahun kedua sesudah bangsa Israel meninggalkan Mesir, TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa di padang gurun Sinai. Kata TUHAN,
2 'Let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.
"Pada tanggal empat belas bulan ini, mulai saat matahari terbenam, orang Israel harus merayakan Paskah menurut peraturan yang sudah ditetapkan."
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.'
4 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Maka Musa menyuruh bangsa Israel merayakan Paskah.
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.
Mereka merayakannya di gurun pasir Sinai pada petang hari tanggal empat belas bulan satu. Segalanya mereka lakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa.
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.
Tetapi di antara mereka ada beberapa orang yang najis karena telah menyentuh mayat, sehingga tak boleh merayakan Paskah pada hari itu. Mereka itu pergi menghadap Musa dan Harun
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?'
dan berkata, "Kami ini najis karena telah menyentuh mayat. Tetapi mengapa kami harus dikecualikan sehingga tak dapat mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN bersama dengan saudara-saudara kami?"
8 And Moses said unto them: 'Stay ye, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.'
Musa menjawab, "Tunggu dulu sampai saya menerima petunjuk dari TUHAN."
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
TUHAN menyuruh Musa
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;
mengatakan kepada bangsa Israel, "Kalau di antara kamu atau keturunanmu ada yang najis karena telah menyentuh mayat atau sedang dalam perjalanan jauh, ia juga harus merayakan Paskah bagi TUHAN.
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;
Tetapi perayaan itu harus diadakan satu bulan kemudian, yaitu pada malam tanggal empat belas dalam bulan dua. Rayakanlah hari itu dengan makan domba Paskah beserta roti yang tidak pakai ragi dan sayuran pahit.
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.
Jangan tinggalkan apa-apa dari makanan itu sampai besok paginya, dan jangan mematahkan satu pun dari tulang binatang yang dipersembahkan kepada-Ku. Rayakanlah Paskah itu sesuai dengan segala peraturannya.
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.
Sebaliknya orang yang tidak najis dan tidak juga dalam perjalanan, tetapi lalai merayakan Paskah, tidak Kuanggap lagi seorang dari umat-Ku, karena ia tidak mempersembahkan kurban kepada-Ku pada waktu yang ditentukan. Orang itu harus menanggung akibat dosanya.
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.'
Apabila di antara kamu ada seorang asing yang mau merayakan Paskah, ia harus merayakannya sesuai dengan semua peraturan dan ketetapan. Hukum itu berlaku untuk setiap orang, baik orang Israel maupun orang asing."
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.
Pada hari Kemah TUHAN didirikan, datanglah awan dan menutupi Kemah itu. Pada waktu malam sampai pagi awan itu kelihatan seperti api.
16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
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.
Tiap kali awan itu naik, orang Israel membongkar perkemahan mereka, lalu berangkat. Dan di mana awan itu turun, di tempat itu mereka berkemah lagi.
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.
Atas perintah TUHAN bangsa Israel itu membongkar kemah dan atas perintah TUHAN juga mereka memasangnya kembali. Selama awan itu ada di atas Kemah TUHAN, mereka tetap tinggal di tempat itu.
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.
Kalau awan itu lama berada di atas Kemah itu, mereka taat kepada peraturan TUHAN dan tidak berangkat dari tempat itu.
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.
Tetapi kadang-kadang hanya beberapa hari saja awan itu berada di atas Kemah itu. Bagaimanapun juga, perintah Tuhanlah yang menentukan mereka tinggal di suatu tempat atau berangkat.
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.
Kadang-kadang awan itu hanya tinggal dari petang sampai pagi, dan waktu awan itu naik di pagi hari, mereka pun berangkat. Kapan saja awan itu naik, baik siang atau malam, mereka berangkat.
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.
Selama awan itu berada di atas Kemah TUHAN, entah selama dua hari, sebulan, setahun atau lebih, selama itu pula mereka tinggal di tempat itu. Kalau awan itu naik, barulah mereka berangkat.
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.
Mereka tinggal di suatu tempat dan berangkat ke tempat yang lain sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN yang diberikan TUHAN melalui Musa.
