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:
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 “Alò, kite fis Israël yo obsève fèt Pak la nan lè ki apwente pou li a.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
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.”
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 Konsa, Moïse te pale ak fis Israël yo pou obsève Pak la.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating 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.
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 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.
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 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?”
“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 Konsa, Moïse te reponn yo: “Tann, e mwen va koute sa ke SENYÈ a va kòmande pou nou menm.”
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
[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 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 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 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.
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 kite anyen ladann pou rive nan maten, ni kase okenn zo ladann. Selon tout règleman a Pak la, yo va obsève li.
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 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.
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 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.’”
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
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.
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 li te ye tout tan. Nwaj te vin kouvri li nan lajounen, e aparans dife a nan lannwit.
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 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 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.
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 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.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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.
