Mose 4 9
1 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,
And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,
2 “Na Israelviwo naɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi.
Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.
3 Miɖui le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi, le fiẽ, le ɣleti sia ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe le eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã nu.”
In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.
4 Ale Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la,
And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.
5 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.
So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 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,
And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7 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?”
And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?
8 Mose gblɔ na wo be yeabia nya Yehowa tso woƒe xaxa la ŋuti.
And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.
9 Yehowa ƒe nyametsotsoe nye:
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 “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,
Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:
11 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.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;
12 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.
Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.
13 “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.
But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.
14 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.”
And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.
15 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.
And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.
16 Aleae wònɔna azɔ: enyea lilikpo le ŋkeke me eye wòdzena abe dzo bibi ene le zã me.
And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.
17 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.
And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.
18 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.
At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.
19 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.
When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.
20 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.
Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.
21 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.
And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.
22 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.
Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.
23 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.
At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.
