Numbers 9
1 And Yhwh spake 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,
BWANA akanena na Musa katika katika jangwa la Sinai, mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wa pili baada ya kutoka katika nci ya Misri. Akasema,
2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
“Wana wa Israeli wataikumbuka Pasaka katika wakati wake kila mwaka.
3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
Siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi huu, muda wa jioni, utaikumbuka Pasaka kila mwaka kwa muda uliopanggwa. Lazima uikumbuke, fuata taratibu zake zote na utii sheria zake zote zinazohusiana na tukio hilo.
4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Kwa hiyo, Musa akawaambia wana wa Isareli kuwa wataishika sikukuu ya Pasaka.
5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Yhwh commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Kwa hiyo wakaishika sikuu ya Pasaka katika mwezi wa kwanza, wakati wa jioni wa siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi katika jangwa la Sinai. Wana wa Israeli walitii kila kitu ambacho BWANA alimwamuru Musa kukifanya.
6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
Kulikuwa na watu fulani walionajisika kwa sababu ya maiti ya mtu. Hawakuweza kuishika Pasaka siku hiyo. Kwa hiyo walikwenda kwa Musa na Haruni siku hiyohiyo.
7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of Yhwh in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
Wakamwambia Musa, “Sisi tumenajisika kwa sababu ya maiti ya mtu. Kwa nini basi unatutaka tuendelee kutoa sadaka kwa BWANA kwa wakati wa mwaka uliopangwa kwa wana wa Israeli?”
8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what Yhwh will command concerning you.
Naye Musa akawaambia, “Subirini nimsikilize BWANA ataniambia nini juu Yenu.”
9 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Yhwh.
“Nena na wana wa Israeli, uwaambie, 'kama mmoja wenu au mwana wa uzao wenu amenajisika kwa sababu ya maiti, au ana safari ndefu, bado anaweza kuishika Pasaka ya BWANA.
11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Wataishika Pasaka siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa pili wakati wa jioni. Wataila kwa mikate isyotiwa chahcu na mboga chungu.
12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
Wasiiache mpaka jioni, au kuvunja mifupa yake. Watafuata taratibu zote za Pasaka.
13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of Yhwh in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
Lakini mtu yeyote asiye najisi na hayuko safarini, na akashindwa kuishika Pasaka, huyo mtu lazima aondolewe kati ya watu wake kwa sababu hakutoa sadaka ambayo BWANA huitaka kwa wakati wa mwaka uliopangwa. Huyo mtu lazima aibebe dhambi yake.
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Yhwh; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
Kama mtu mgeni anayeishi kati yenu na akaishika, Pasaka kwa heshima ya BWANA, ataishika na kufanya amri zote, na kutii taratibu zake. Utakuwa na sheria hizohizo kwa wageni na kwa wote waliaozaliwa katika nchi.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
Na siku hiyo ambayo masikani iliposimamishwa, wingu lilifunika masikani, ile hema ya amari ya agano. Ilipokuwa jioni wingu lilkuwa juu ya masikani. Lilionekana kama moto mpaka asubuhi.
16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
Liliendelea hivyohivyo. Lile wingu lilifunika masikani na kuonekana kama moto wakati wa usiku.
17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
Na kila wingu lilipochukuliwa kutoka kwenye hema, wana wa Isareli waliendelea na safari yao. Na kila wingu liliposimama, watu waliweka kambi.
18 At the commandment of Yhwh the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Yhwh they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
Wana wa Israrli walisafiri kwa amri ya BWANA, na kwa amri yake waliweka kambi. Wakati wingu liliposimama juu ya masikani, nao walikaa kwenye kambi zao.
19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yhwh, and journeyed not.
Na wingu lilipobaki kwenye masikani kwa siku nyingi, wana wa Israeli walitakiwa kutii maelekezo ya BWANA na kusitisha safari yao.
20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of Yhwh they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of Yhwh they journeyed.
Wakati mwingine wingu lilibaki kwa siku chache tu kwenye masikani. Kwa mazingira kama hayo walilazimika kutii amri ya BWANA - waliweka kambi na kisha kuendelea na safari tena kwa amri yake.
21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwepo kambini kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi. Na wingu liliponyanyuliwa asubuhi, walisafiri. Kama liliendelea kwa mchana wote na kwa usiku wote, ni pale tu wingu liliponyanyuliwa ndipo walipoendelea na safari.
22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
Hata kama wingu lilibaki kwenye masikini kwa siku mbili, kwa mwezi mmoja, au kwa mwaka mmoja, ili mradi tu limebaki pale, wana wa Israeli walibaki kwenye kambi zao na kusitisha safari. Lakini pale wingu liliponyanyuliwa, walianza safari yao.
23 At the commandment of Yhwh they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of Yhwh they journeyed: they kept the charge of Yhwh, at the commandment of Yhwh by the hand of Moses.
Walifanya kambi kwa amri ya BWANA, na walisafiri kwa amri yake. Walitii amri ya BWANA iliyotolewa kupitia kwa Musa
