Numbers 9
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Bwana akasema na Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai katika mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wa pili baada ya Waisraeli kutoka Misri. Akasema,
2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at its appointed season.
“Waamuru Waisraeli waadhimishe Pasaka katika wakati ulioamriwa.
3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all its rites, and according to all its ceremonies, shall ye keep it.
Adhimisheni wakati ulioamriwa, yaani wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi huu, kufuatana na desturi zake zote na masharti yake.”
4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Hivyo Mose akawaambia Waisraeli waiadhimishe Pasaka,
5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
nao wakafanya hivyo kwenye Jangwa la Sinai wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza. Waisraeli wakafanya kila kitu kama vile Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
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:
Lakini baadhi yao hawakuweza kuadhimisha Pasaka siku ile kwa sababu walikuwa najisi kwa taratibu za kiibada kwa ajili ya kugusa maiti. Kwa hiyo wakamwendea Mose na Aroni siku ile ile,
7 And those men said to him, We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?
wakamwambia Mose, “Tumekuwa najisi kwa sababu tumegusa maiti, lakini kwa nini tuzuiliwe kumtolea Bwana sadaka yake pamoja na Waisraeli wengine katika wakati ulioamriwa?”
8 And Moses said to them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
Mose akawajibu, “Ngojeni mpaka nitafute kile Bwana anachoagiza kuwahusu ninyi.”
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
10 Speak to 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 to the LORD.
“Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Wakati mmoja wenu au wazao wenu wanapokuwa najisi kwa sababu ya maiti au wakiwa safarini, hata hivyo wanaweza kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana.
11 The fourteenth day of the second month at evening, they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].
Wataiadhimisha wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa pili. Watamla mwana-kondoo, pamoja na mkate usiotiwa chachu, na mboga chungu.
12 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
Wasibakize chochote hadi asubuhi wala wasivunje mifupa ya mwana-kondoo. Wakati wanapoadhimisha Pasaka, hawana budi kufuata masharti yote.
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 the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
Lakini kama mtu ni safi kwa taratibu za kiibada naye hayuko safarini, asipoadhimisha Pasaka, mtu huyo hana budi kukatiliwa mbali na watu wake kwa sababu hakutoa sadaka ya Bwana kwa wakati ulioamriwa. Mtu huyo atawajibika kubeba matokeo ya dhambi yake.
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner of it, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
“‘Mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu ambaye anataka kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana, lazima afanye hivyo kwa kufuata desturi na masharti. Lazima masharti yawe sawasawa kwa mgeni na mzawa.’”
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was erected the cloud covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
Katika siku hiyo ambayo Maskani, Hema la Ushuhuda, iliposimamishwa, wingu liliifunika. Kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi wingu lililokuwa juu ya Maskani lilionekana kama moto.
16 So it was always; the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night.
Hivyo ndivyo lilivyoendelea kuwa; wingu liliifunika wakati wa mchana, na usiku lilionekana kama moto.
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.
Wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Hema, nao Waisraeli waliondoka; mahali popote wingu liliposimama, Waisraeli walipiga kambi.
18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
Kwa amri ya Bwana Waisraeli waliondoka, na kwa amri yake walipiga kambi. Kwa muda wote wingu liliposimama juu ya Maskani, Waisraeli walibaki wamepiga kambi.
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.
Wakati wingu lilipobaki juu ya Maskani kwa muda mrefu, Waisraeli walitii amri ya Bwana nao hawakuondoka.
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.
Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwa juu ya Maskani kwa siku chache tu; kwa amri ya Bwana wangelipiga kambi na kisha kwa amri yake wangeliondoka.
21 And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from evening to 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 kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi tu, na lilipoinuka asubuhi, nao waliondoka. Ikiwa ni mchana au usiku, wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka, waliondoka.
22 Or [whether it was] two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining upon it, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
Ikiwa wingu lilikaa juu ya Maskani kwa siku mbili au mwezi au mwaka, Waisraeli wangebaki wamepiga kambi na hawakuondoka; lakini lilipoinuka, wangeondoka.
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.
Kwa amri ya Bwana walipiga kambi, na kwa amri ya Bwana waliondoka. Walitii amri ya Bwana, kufuatana na agizo lake kupitia Mose.
