Resansman 9
1 Nan premye mwa dezyèm lanne apre yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz nan dezè Sinayi a, li di l' konsa:
One year after the Israelis left Egypt, during the month of March, while they were in the Sinai Desert, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 -Se pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo fete fèt delivrans lan dat mwen te di yo fete l' la.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
3 Katòzyèm jou premye mwa a, lè solèy fin kouche, n'a fete fèt la dapre tout lòd ak regleman mwen te ban nou pou sa.
They must do it on the fourteenth day of this month, early in the evening, and they must obey all the instructions about it [that I gave you previously].”
4 Moyiz di pèp Izrayèl la pou yo fete fèt delivrans lan.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating the Passover.
5 Epi yo fete fèt la nan aswè katòzyèm jou premye mwa a, nan dezè Sinayi a. Pèp la fè tout bagay jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
The people celebrated it, there in the Sinai Desert, in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
6 Men, vwala te gen kèk moun ki pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske yo te manyen kadav yon moun mouri. Yo pa t' kapab fete fèt delivrans lan jou sa a. Yo leve, y' al jwenn Moyiz ak Arawon.
But some of the Israeli people had touched a corpse, and as a result they had become unfit to celebrate the Passover. So they asked Aaron and Moses/me,
7 Yo di yo: -Nou pa nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske nou te manyen yon kadav moun mouri. Men, poukisa nou pa ta ka pote ofrann nou yo bay Seyè a jou sa a, ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo?
“It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else [RHQ]?”
8 Moyiz reponn yo: -Rete tann jouk Seyè a va ban m' lòd sa pou m' di nou.
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
[So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
10 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo pou mwen: Lè yonn nan nou, osinon yonn nan pitit pitit nou yo, twouve li pa ta nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske li te manyen kadav yon moun mouri, ou ankò si li ta nan vwayaj byen lwen, l'a toujou ka fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Bondye.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: If any of you or your descendants touch a corpse and as a result become unacceptable to me, or if you are away from home on a long trip [at the time to celebrate the Passover], you will still be permitted to celebrate it.
11 Y'a tann katòzyèm jou dizyèm mwa a, lè sòlèy fin kouche, pou yo fè l'. Y'a manje manje Delivrans lan avèk pen san ledven yo epi ak fèy lanman.
But you must celebrate it exactly one month later, early in the evening of the fourteenth day of that month. Eat the meat of the lamb for the Passover Festival with bread that is baked without yeast and eat bitter herbs.
12 Yo p'ap gen dwa kite anyen pou denmen maten, ni yo pa fèt pou yo kraze okenn zo bèt yo touye a. Y'a fè tout bagay dapre regleman mwen bay pou fete fèt Delivrans lan.
Do not leave any of it until the next morning. And do not break any of the lamb’s bones. Obey all the regulations about celebrating the Passover.
13 Men, si yon moun ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen epi ki pa nan vwayaj ta rive pa fete fèt Delivrans lan, se pou yo mete l' deyò nèt nan mitan fanmi l' yo, paske li pa t' ofri ofrann li bay Seyè a dat pou l' te fè l' la. Se pou l' peye pou sa l' fè a.
But if any of you has not done anything that would make you unfit to celebrate the Passover Festival, and you are not away from home on a long trip, and you do not sacrifice to me at the proper time, you will no longer be allowed to associate with my people. (You will be punished/I will punish you).
14 Si gen moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, li menm tou se pou l' fete fèt Delivrans Seyè a, dapre lòd ak regleman fèt la. Va gen yon sèl regleman pou tout moun, ni pou moun natif natal peyi a, ni pou moun lòt nasyon yo.
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
15 Jou yo t'ap moute Tant Randevou a, yon nwaj vini epi li kouvri tant kote Bwat Kontra a ye a. Lè aswè rive, ou ta di yon gwo dife ki te parèt anwo tant lan jouk nan maten.
On the day that the Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose [the next day], the cloud resembled a [huge] fire. And that is what happened every day [that we/the Israelis were in the desert].
16 Se konsa sa te toujou ye: lajounen nwaj la te kouvri l', lannwit li te klere tankou yon dife.
17 Chak fwa nwaj la fè yon leve anwo tant lan, la menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo leve, epi yo pati. Lè li desann poze sou tant lan, yo rete, yo moute tant yo la.
When the cloud rose up and started to move [to a new location], we/they followed it. When the cloud stopped, we/the Israelis stopped there and set up their tents.
18 Konsa, se sou kòmandman Seyè a yo te leve pati, e se sou kòmandman li tou yo te rete moute tant yo. Toutotan nwaj la te rete anwo tant lan, yo menm tou, yo te rete kote yo te ye a.
We/They traveled when Yahweh, [by causing the cloud to move or stop], signaled to us/them when to move and when to stop. When the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent, we/the Israelis stayed at that place.
19 Si nwaj la te rete anpil jou anwo tant lan san deplase, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te swiv lòd Seyè a, yo menm tou yo pa t' deplase.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
20 Gen de fwa nwaj la pa t' rete lontan anwo tant lan san deplase. Men, se te toujou konsa: se sou kòmandman Seyè a yo te leve pati, se sou kòmandman li tou yo te rete moute tant yo.
Sometimes the cloud remained over the tent for only a few days. We/The people stopped and set up our/their tents as Yahweh commanded us/them, and we/they traveled [to a new location] when Yahweh commanded us/them to do that.
21 Gen de lè nwaj la rete sèlman pou yon nwit anwo tant lan, depi aswè jouk nan denmen maten. Leve nwaj la leve nan maten, yo menm tou yo leve, yo pati. Gen de fwa tou, li te rete yon jou yon nwit. Leve nwaj la leve, yo menm tou yo leve, yo pati.
Sometimes the cloud stayed in one place for only one day. When that happened, when the cloud rose up [into the sky] the next morning, then we/they traveled. Whenever the cloud moved, during the day or during the night, we/they traveled.
22 Toutotan nwaj la te rete la anwo tant lan san deplase, li te mèt de jou, yon mwa, yon lanne, yo menm tou, yo pa t' deplase. Men, leve nwaj la leve, yo leve, yo pati.
If the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent for two days, or for a month, or for a year, during that time we/they stayed where we/they were. But when the cloud rose up [into the sky], we/they started to travel.
23 Konsa, yo moute tant yo sou lòd Seyè a, yo leve yo pati sou lòd Seyè a: Yo te fè tou sa Seyè a te di Moyiz di yo fè.
When Yahweh commanded us/them to [stop and] set up our/their tents, we/they did that. When he told us/them to move, we/they moved. We/They did whatever Yahweh told Moses/me that we/they should do.
