< Numbers 9 >
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year after their coming out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
Yehowa de se siawo na Mose esime Mose kple Israelvi mamlɛawo nɔ Sinai gbedzi le ɣleti gbãtɔ me, le ƒe evelia me, esi wodo go tso Egipte. Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be,
2 That the children of Israel shall prepare the passover-lamb at its appointed season.
“Na Israelviwo naɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi.
3 On the fourteenth day of this month, toward evening, shall ye prepare it at its appointed season: according to all its ordinances, and according to all its prescribed rules, shall ye prepare it.
Miɖui le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi, le fiẽ, le ɣleti sia ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe le eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã nu.”
4 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should prepare the passover-lamb.
Ale Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la,
5 And they prepared the passover-lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month toward evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
eye woɖui le Sinai gbegbe la le fiẽ, le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe. Israelviwo wɔ nu sia nu abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
6 But there were certain men, who had been defiled by the dead body of a man, and they could not prepare the passover-lamb on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
Ke wo dometɔ aɖewo mete ŋu ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la gbe ma gbe o, elabena wo dometɔ aɖewo gblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo le ame kuku aɖe ta. Ale wova Mose kple Aron gbɔ gbe ma gbe,
7 And these men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore shall we be kept back, so as not to offer the sacrifice of the Lord at its appointed season in the midst of the [other] children of Israel?
eye wogblɔ na Mose be, “Míegblẽ kɔ ɖo ɖe ame kuku aɖe ta, ke nu ka ta woaxe mɔ na mí be míatsɔ Yehowa ƒe vɔsa vɛ kpe ɖe Israelvi bubuawo ŋu le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖo la dzi o?”
8 And Moses said unto them, Wait ye, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.
Mose gblɔ na wo be yeabia nya Yehowa tso woƒe xaxa la ŋuti.
9 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nyametsotsoe nye:
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man whatever should be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a distant journey, among you or your posterity: yet shall he prepare the passover-lamb unto the Lord;
“Ne Israelviwo dometɔ siwo li fifia alo siwo anɔ dzidzime siwo ava va me la gblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe ɣeyiɣi me, to asikaka ame kuku aɖe ŋu me, alo ne wozɔ mɔ, eye womate ŋu anɔ wo nɔviwo dome o la, ele be woaɖu Yehowa ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kokoko. Woawo aɖui le ɣleti ɖeka megbe,
11 In the second month on the fourteenth day toward evening shall they prepare it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.
le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe. Woadze ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu gɔme tso gbe ma gbe ƒe fiẽ. Woaɖu alẽvi la ɣe ma ɣi kple abolo maʋamaʋã kple amagbe veve.
12 They shall leave none of it until morning, and no bone shall they break on it: according to the whole ordinance of the passover-lamb shall they prepare it.
Mele be woagblẽ nuɖuɖu la ƒe ɖeke ɖi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o, eye womagbã alẽvi la ƒe ƒu aɖeke o. Woazɔ ɖe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu ƒe sewo nu pɛpɛpɛ.
13 But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to prepare the passover-lamb, even that same soul shall be cut off from his people; because the offering of the Lord hath he not brought at its appointed season, his sin shall that man bear.
“Ke ame sia ame, si megblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui o, eye mezɔ mɔ hã o, gake wògbe meɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖo la dzi o la, woaɖee le Israelviwo ƒe ha me le ale si wògbe be yemasa vɔ na Yehowa le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖo la dzi o ta. Eƒe nu vɔ̃ anɔ edzi.
14 And if a stranger sojourn among you, and will prepare the passover-lamb unto the Lord: according to the ordinance of the passover-lamb, and according to its prescribed rule, so shall he prepare it; one statute shall be for you, both for the stranger, and for the native born in the land.
Ne amedzro aɖe le mia dome, eye wòdi be yeaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la na Yehowa la, ele nɛ be wòawɔ Ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu ƒe sewo dzi pɛpɛpɛ. Se ɖeka koe li na ame sia ame.”
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of the testimony: and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
Le gbe si gbe wotu agbadɔ la la, lilikpo la tsyɔ edzi. Le gbe ma gbe ƒe fiẽ la, lilikpo la trɔ hedze abe dzo bibi ene. Enɔ nenema le zã blibo la me.
16 So it used to be always: the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night.
Aleae wònɔna azɔ: enyea lilikpo le ŋkeke me eye wòdzena abe dzo bibi ene le zã me.
17 And as the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that did the children of Israel journey forward: and in the place where the cloud halted, there did the children of Israel encamp.
Ne lilikpo la ho la, Israelviwo dzea mɔ, ɖea zɔ va se ɖe afi si lilikpo la natɔ ɖo, eye woƒua asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma.
18 At the order of the Lord did the children of Israel journey forward, and at the order of the Lord they encamped: all the days that the cloud abode upon the tabernacle did they remain in camp.
Wozɔ mɔ alea le Yehowa ƒe kpɔkplɔ te. Wotɔna ɖe afi si Yehowa ɖo na wo be woatɔ ɖo. Wonɔa afi ma ɣeyiɣi si lilikpo la tɔ ɖe afi ma.
19 And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then did the children of Israel keep the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not forward.
Ne enɔ anyi wòdidi la, woawo hã wonɔa anyi ɣeyiɣi didi ma ke. Ke ne enɔ anyi ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo ko la, ekema Israelviwo hã wonɔa anyi ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo ko, elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo na wo.
20 And at times it was, that the cloud remained but a few days upon the tabernacle; at the order of the Lord they abode in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward.
Ɣe aɖewo ɣi la, lilikpo la nɔa asaɖa la tame ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo ko; le Yehowa ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, woatsi asaɖa la me, eye le eƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, woadze mɔ.
21 And at times it was, that the cloud remained from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed forward; or a day and a night, and when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed forward;
Ɣe aɖewo ɣi la, lilikpo la nɔa anyi tso fiẽ va se ɖe ŋdi ko, eye ne eho le ŋdi la, wodzea mɔ. Nenye le ŋkeke me alo zã me, ɣe sia ɣi si lilikpo la ho ko la, wodzea mɔ.
22 Or two days, or a month, or a year; so long as the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, to remain thereon, did the children of Israel remain encamped, and journeyed not forward; but when it was taken up, they journeyed forward.
Ne lilikpo la nɔ agbadɔ la tame ŋkeke eve alo ɣleti ɖeka alo ƒe ɖeka la, Israelviwo nɔa asaɖa la me, eye womedzea mɔ o. Ke ne eho la, wodzea mɔ.
23 At the order of the Lord they remained in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward: the charge of the Lord they kept, at the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Le Yehowa ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, woƒua asaɖa anyi, eye le Yehowa ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, wodzea mɔ. Wowɔa Yehowa ƒe gbe dzi le se si wòde to Mose dzi la nu.
