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,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina ʻo hono ua taʻu hili ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,

2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

“Tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kenau fai foki ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa.

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, all of you shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall all of you keep it.

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe māhina ni, ʻi he efiafi, te mou fai ia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa: ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea te mou fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē.”

4 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kenau fai ʻae Lakaatu.

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 the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai: ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe fai pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

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:

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata niʻihi, naʻa nau taʻemaʻa ʻi he sino mate ʻo ha tangata, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻaho ko ia:

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 the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

Pea naʻe lea pehē ʻae kau tangata ko ia kiate ia, “ʻOku mau ʻuli ʻi he sino mate ʻoe tangata: ko e hā kuo taʻofi ai ʻakimautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mau ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi hono kuonga kuo kotofa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?”

8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Mou tatali, kaeʻoua ke u fanongo pe ko e hā ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu.”

9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

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 far off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē, “Kapau ʻe taʻemaʻa ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻi homou hako koeʻuhi ko e sino mate, pea mo ia ʻoku fononga mamaʻo, ʻe fai pe ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova.

11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻo hono ua māhina ʻi he efiafi tenau fai ia, pea ʻe kai fakataha ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani mo e ngaahi ʻakau kona.

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.

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau tuku hono toe ki he ʻapongipongi, pe fesiʻi ha hui ʻi ai: tenau fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu.

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbears to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Ka ko e tangata ʻoku maʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai fononga mamaʻo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻe ia ʻae laka-atu, ko e tangata ko ia ʻe tuʻusi mei hono kakai: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻaho kuo kotofa; ʻe fua ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻa ʻene angahala.

14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: all of you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

“Pea kapau ʻe ʻāunofo ha muli ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova; ʻe fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu, pea fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻe pehē ʻene fai: ko e fekau pe taha te mou maʻu ki he muli, pea mo ia ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he fonua.”

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.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae fale fehikitaki naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni: pea naʻe ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he efiafi ʻae meʻa ʻo hangē ko e afi, ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi.

16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

Naʻe pehē maʻuaipē: naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pea hangē ko e afi ʻi he pō.

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.

Pea ʻoka toʻo hake ʻae ʻao mei he fale fehikitaki, hili ia, naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ko e potu naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae ʻao, ko ia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ai honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea nau nofo ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻo hangē ko hono fuoloa ʻoe nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki.

19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

Pea ka tatali fuoloa ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻaho lahi, naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he tauhi ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fononga.

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi; ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē, ka tuʻu ʻae ʻao mei he efiafi ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi, pea toki toʻo hake ʻae ʻao ʻi he pongipongi, naʻa nau fononga: ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō kuo toʻo hake ai ʻae ʻao naʻa nau fononga.

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.

Pea kapau ko e ʻaho ʻe ua, pe taha māhina, pe taha taʻu, mo e tuʻu ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki, ʻo tuʻumaʻu ai, naʻe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fononga: pea ʻi hono toʻo hake ia naʻa nau fononga.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, 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.

Pea naʻa nau mālōlō ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau fai ki he pule ʻa Sihova, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
