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,
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt. He said,
2 “Na Israelviwo naɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi.
“Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its fixed time of year.
3 Miɖui le eƒe ɣeyiɣi la dzi, le fiẽ, le ɣleti sia ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe le eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã nu.”
On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you must keep the Passover at its fixed time of year. You must keep it, follow all the regulations, and obey all the decrees that are related to it.”
4 Ale Mose gblɔ na Israelviwo be woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la,
So, Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Festival of 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 wilderness of Sinai. The people of Israel obeyed everything that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
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,
There were certain men who became unclean by the body of a dead man. They could not keep the Passover on that day. They went before Moses and Aaron on that same 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?”
Those men said to Moses, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why do you keep us from offering the sacrifice to Yahweh at the fixed time of year among the people of Israel?”
8 Mose gblɔ na wo be yeabia nya Yehowa tso woƒe xaxa la ŋuti.
Moses said to them, “Wait for me to hear what Yahweh will instruct about you.”
9 Yehowa ƒe nyametsotsoe nye:
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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,
“Speak to the people of Israel. Say, 'If any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are on a long journey, he may still keep the Passover to Yahweh.'
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 at evening, they will eat the Passover meal. They must eat the Passover lamb with bread that is made without yeast and with bitter herbs.
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.
They must not leave any of it until the morning, or break any of its bones. They must follow all the regulations for 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 any person who is clean and is not on a journey, but who fails to keep the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not offer the sacrifice that Yahweh requires at the fixed time of year. That man must carry his sin.
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.”
If a stranger lives among you and keeps the Passover in Yahweh's honor, he must keep it and do all he commands, keeping the rules of the Passover, and obeying the laws for it. You must have the same law for the foreigner and for all who have been born 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.
On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant decrees. At evening the cloud was over the tabernacle. It appeared like fire until morning.
16 Aleae wònɔna azɔ: enyea lilikpo le ŋkeke me eye wòdzena abe dzo bibi ene le zã me.
It continued that way. The cloud covered the tabernacle and appeared like fire at 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.
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the people of Israel would set out on their journey. Wherever the cloud stopped, the people would camp.
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 Yahweh's command, the people of Israel would travel, and at his command, they would camp. While the cloud stopped over the tabernacle, they would stay in their camp.
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 remained on the tabernacle for many days, then the people of Israel would obey Yahweh's instructions and not travel.
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 remained a few days on the tabernacle. In that case, they would obey Yahweh's command—they would make camp and then travel on again at his command.
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.
Sometimes the cloud was present in camp from evening until morning. When the cloud lifted in the morning, they journeyed. If it continued for a day and for a night, only when the cloud lifted would they journey on.
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.
Whether the cloud stayed on the tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, for as long as it stayed there, the people of Israel would stay in their camp and not travel. But whenever the cloud was taken up, they would set out 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.
They would camp at Yahweh's command, and they would travel at his command. They obeyed Yahweh's command given through Moses.
