Numbers 9
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month, saying:
出埃及國後第二年正月，上主在西乃曠野吩咐梅瑟說：「
2 Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season:
以色列子民在定期內當舉行踰越節。
3 on the fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season, —according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it.
於本月十四日黃昏時，在定期內舉行此節；應按一切規定和禮儀舉行。」
4 Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.
梅瑟遂號令以色列子民舉行踰越節。
5 So they kept the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
他們就在正月十四日黃昏，於西乃曠野舉行了踰越節；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，以色列子民就怎樣做了。
6 But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day, —therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
但是，有些人因沾染了死人的不潔，不能在那一天舉行踰越節，就在那天來到梅瑟和亞郎前；
7 Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, —wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?
這些人對他說：「我們沾染了死人的不潔；為什麼我們就被拒絕，而不能在以色列子民中，於定期內奉獻上主供物﹖」
8 And Moses said unto them, —Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you!
梅瑟對他們說：「你們等一下，我去聽上主對你們有何吩咐。」
9 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
上主吩咐梅瑟說：「
10 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.
你訓示以色列子民說：幾時你們中或你們後裔中，若有人沾了死人的不潔，或因到遠方旅行，仍要為上主舉行踰越節，
11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it, —with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
應在二月十四日黃昏舉行，同時吃無酵餅和苦菜，
12 They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein—according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.
不要剩下什麼到早晨，也不要折斷羔羊的骨頭：應全依照踰越節的規定舉行此節。
13 But as for the man who is, clean, and no a journey, doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk, —for the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.
但如有人是潔淨的，又不在旅行中，竟忽略了過踰越節，這人就應由民間剷除，因為他沒有在定期內奉獻上主供物，這人應自負罪債。
14 When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep [it], —one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
至於與你們同住的僑民，若為上主舉行踰越節，應按照踰越節的規定和禮儀舉行；不論是僑民，或是本國公民，你們應守同樣的法律。」
15 Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, —and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning,
在豎立帳幕那一天，有雲彩遮蓋了帳幕，即會幕；到晚上雲彩停在帳幕上，形狀似火，直到早晨。
16 Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, —and an appearance of fire, by night;
白天有雲彩遮蓋，夜間雲彩形狀似火：常是如此。
17 but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, —and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped:
幾時雲彩由帳幕上升起，以色列子民隨即起程；雲彩在那裏停住了，以色列子民就在那裏紮營。
18 at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, —all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.
以色列子民照上主的命令起程，亦照上主的命令紮營：雲彩停留在帳幕上幾日，他們就幾日紮營不動。
19 And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.
雲彩若多日停留在帳幕上，以色列子民就遵照上主的命令，不移營前行。
20 And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward.
有時雲彩只數日停留在帳幕上，他們就依照上主的命令紮營不動，並依照上主的命令起程。
21 And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward.
有時雲彩從晚上到早晨停住，一到早晨就上升，他們就隨之起程；或者一日一夜以後纔上升，他們也隨之起程。
22 Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, —but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.
如雲彩兩日或一月，或一年停留在帳幕上，無論停留多久，以色列子民也就安營不動多久；只在雲彩上升時，方起程前行。
23 At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward, —the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
他們依照上主的命令紮營，依照上主的命令起程；他們全照上主藉梅瑟所吩咐的，遵守上主的訓示。
