Numbers 9
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, 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 “Also, the sons of Israel prepare the Passover in its appointed time;
“Wana wa Israeli wataikumbuka Pasaka katika wakati wake kila mwaka.
3 in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings you prepare it in its appointed time; you prepare it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
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 speaks to the sons of Israel to prepare the Passover,
Kwa hiyo, Musa akawaambia wana wa Isareli kuwa wataishika sikukuu ya Pasaka.
5 and they prepare the Passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel have done.
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 are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the Passover on that day, and they come near 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 say to him, “We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, in the midst of the sons 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 says to them, “Stand, and I hear what YHWH has commanded concerning you.”
Naye Musa akawaambia, “Subirini nimsikilize BWANA ataniambia nini juu Yenu.”
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), he has still prepared a Passover to 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 they prepare it in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings; they eat it with unleavened and bitter things;
Wataishika Pasaka siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa pili wakati wa jioni. Wataila kwa mikate isyotiwa chahcu na mboga chungu.
12 they do not leave of [it] until morning; and they do not break a bone in it; they prepare it according to all the statute of the Passover.
Wasiiache mpaka jioni, au kuvunja mifupa yake. Watafuata taratibu zote za Pasaka.
13 And the man who is clean, and has not been on a journey, and has ceased to prepare the Passover, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; because he has not brought the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, that man bears 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 when a sojourner sojourns with you, then he has prepared a Passover to YHWH—according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he does; one statute is for you, indeed, for a sojourner and for a native of 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 in the day of the raising up of the Dwelling Place, the cloud has covered the Dwelling Place, even the Tent of the Testimony; and in the evening there is as an appearance of fire on the Dwelling Place until 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 is continually; the cloud covers it, also the appearance of fire by night.
Liliendelea hivyohivyo. Lile wingu lilifunika masikani na kuonekana kama moto wakati wa usiku.
17 And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent, then afterward the sons of Israel journey; and in the place where the cloud dwells, there the sons of Israel encamp;
Na kila wingu lilipochukuliwa kutoka kwenye hema, wana wa Isareli waliendelea na safari yao. Na kila wingu liliposimama, watu waliweka kambi.
18 by the command of YHWH the sons of Israel journey, and by the command of YHWH they encamp; all the days that the cloud dwells over the Dwelling Place they encamp.
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 in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place many days, then the sons of Israel have kept the charge of YHWH, and do not journey.
Na wingu lilipobaki kwenye masikani kwa siku nyingi, wana wa Israeli walitakiwa kutii maelekezo ya BWANA na kusitisha safari yao.
20 And so when the cloud is over the Dwelling Place [for] a number of days: by the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey.
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 when the cloud is from evening until morning, when the cloud has gone up in the morning, then they have journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud has gone up, then they have 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 Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place, to dwell over it, the sons of Israel encamp and do not journey; and in its being lifted up they journey.
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 By the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey; they have kept the charge of YHWH, by the command of YHWH in the hand of Moses.
Walifanya kambi kwa amri ya BWANA, na walisafiri kwa amri yake. Walitii amri ya BWANA iliyotolewa kupitia kwa Musa
