Resansman 9
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a, nan premye mwa nan dezyèm ane a lè yo te fin sòti nan Égypte la. Li te di:
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert in the first month of the second year after Israel had left Egypt. He told him,
2 “Alò, kite fis Israël yo obsève fèt Pak la nan lè ki apwente pou li a.
“The Israelites are to keep the Passover at its designated time.
3 Nan katòzyèm jou nan mwa sa a, nan aswè avan li fènwa, nou va obsève li nan lè apwente a. Nou va obsève li avèk tout règleman e avèk tout òdonans li yo.”
Observe it at the time required—in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of this month, and do so in accordance with its rules and regulations.”
4 Konsa, Moïse te pale ak fis Israël yo pou obsève Pak la.
Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover.
5 Yo te obsève Pak la nan premye mwa, nan katòzyèm jou a, nan aswè lè li fenk kòmanse fènwa, nan dezè Sinaï a. Selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse yo, se konsa fis Israël yo te fè.
So they kept the Passover in the Sinai desert, beginning in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites followed all the instructions the Lord had given to Moses.
6 Men te gen kèk mesye ki pa t pwòp akoz yon mò. Akoz sa, yo pa t kab obsève Pak la nan jou sa a. Konsa yo te vin devan Moïse avèk Aaron nan jou sa a.
However, there were some men who were unclean because they had been contact with a dead body, so they could not keep the Passover on that day. They went to see Moses and Aaron the same day
7 Mesye sa yo te di li: “Malgre nou pa pwòp akoz mò a, poukisa nou anpeche vin prezante ofrann SENYÈ a nan lè apwente pami fis Israël yo?”
and explained to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should that mean we're prevented from giving our offering to the Lord with the other Israelites at the appropriate time?”
8 Konsa, Moïse te reponn yo: “Tann, e mwen va koute sa ke SENYÈ a va kòmande pou nou menm.”
“Stay here while I find out what the Lord's instructions are concerning you,” Moses responded.
9 Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The Lord told Moses,
10 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo pou di: ‘Si nenpòt nan nou, oswa nan desandan nou yo vin pa pwòp akoz yon mò, oswa se nan yon vwayaj, malgre sa, li kapab obsève Pak SENYÈ a.
“Tell the Israelites: ‘If you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are away traveling, you can still keep the Lord's Passover.
11 Nan dezyèm mwa a, sou katòzyèm jou a, nan aswè lè l fenk kòmanse fènwa, yo va obsève li. Yo va manje li avèk pen san ledven ak zèb anmè.
You are to observe it in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the second month. You are to eat the lamb with the bread made without yeast, and the bitter herbs.
12 Yo p ap kite anyen ladann pou rive nan maten, ni kase okenn zo ladann. Selon tout règleman a Pak la, yo va obsève li.
You must not leave any of it until the following morning and you must not break any of its bones. You must observe the Passover according to all the regulations.
13 Men mesye ki pwòp e ki pa nan yon vwayaj, ki malgre sa, neglije obsève Pak la, moun sa a va vin koupe retire de pèp li a. Paske li pa t prezante ofrann bay SENYÈ a nan lè chwazi a. Nonm sila a va pote peche li.
However, anyone ceremonially clean and not away traveling who neglects to observe the Passover must be expelled from their people, because they didn't present the Lord's offering at the appropriate time. They will bear the responsibility for the consequences of their sin.
14 “‘Si yon etranje demere pami nou e li obsève Pak SENYÈ a, li gen pou fè l selon règleman a Pak la, ak selon òdonans li. Nou va genyen yon sèl règleman, ni pou etranje, ni pou natif peyi a.’”
Any foreigners living among you who want to observe the Lord's Passover can do so following the Passover rules and regulations. The same rules apply to the foreigners as they do to you.’”
15 Alò, nan jou ke tabènak la te monte a, nwaj te vin kouvri tabènak la ak tant temwayaj la, e nan aswè, li te tankou aparans dife sou tabènak la, jis rive nan maten.
The cloud covered the Tent of the Testimony (the Tabernacle) on the day that it was set up, and looked like fire above it from evening until the morning.
16 Se konsa li te ye tout tan. Nwaj te vin kouvri li nan lajounen, e aparans dife a nan lannwit.
It was always like this. The cloud covered the Tabernacle during the day and at night it looked like fire.
17 Nenpòt lè nwaj te leve sou tant lan, fis Israël yo te leve vwayaje. Nan plas kote nwaj la te vin poze a, se la fis Israël yo te kanpe fè kan an.
When the cloud rose from over the Tent, the Israelites would move on, and where the cloud stopped, the Israelites would set up camp there.
18 Sou kòmand a SENYÈ a, fis Israël yo te pati, e sou kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te fè kan an. Tout tan ke nwaj la te poze sou tabènak la, yo te rete nan kan an.
The Israelites moved on when the Lord told them to, and set up camp when the Lord told them to. While the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle, they remained camped there.
19 Menm lè nwaj la te fè reta sou tabènak la pandan anpil jou, fis Israël yo te kenbe lòd SENYÈ a. Yo pa t pati.
Even if the cloud didn't move for a long time, the Israelites did what the Lord told them and didn't move on.
20 Si, pafwa nwaj la te rete kèk jou sou tabènak la, selon kòmand SENYÈ a, yo te rete nan kan an. Epi selon kòmand SENYÈ a, yo te vin pati.
Sometimes the cloud only stayed over the Tabernacle for a few days. As always they followed the Lord's command as to whether to camp or to move on.
21 Si, pafwa nwaj la te rete soti nan aswè pou jis rive nan maten, lè nwaj la te leve nan maten, yo te deplase; oswa, si li te rete nan lajounen ak lannwit, nenpòt lè ke nwaj la te leve a, yo te vin pati.
Sometimes the cloud only stayed overnight, so when it rose in the morning they would move on. Whenever the cloud rose, day or night, they would leave.
22 Sof ke se te pou de jou, oswa yon mwa, oswa 1 nan ke nwaj la te mize sou tabènak la, depi li rete anwo li, fis Israël yo te rete nan kan an. Yo pa t pati. Men lè li te vin leve, yo te pati.
If the cloud stayed in one place for two days, or a month, or longer, the Israelites stayed where they were and didn't leave as long as the cloud remained over the Tabernacle. However, once it rose, they would leave.
23 Ak kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te fè kan an, e nan kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te pati. Yo te kenbe lòd SENYÈ a selon kòmand SENYÈ a, selon Moïse.
They camped when the Lord told them to, and left when he told them to. They followed the Lord's instructions that he gave to Moses.
