< Na Helu 9 >

1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma ka waonahele o Sinai, i ka malama mua o ka lua o ka makahiki, mahope o ko lakou puka ana mailoko mai o ka aina o Aigupita, i mai la,
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 E malama na mamo a Iseraela i ka moliaola i kona manawa i kauohaia'i.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
3 I ka la umikumamaha o keia malama, i ke ahiahi, e malama oukou ia i kona manawa i kauohaia'i: e like me na kanawai a pau nona, a e like hoi me na oihana a pau nana, ka oukou e malama ai ia.
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 Olelo aku la hoi o Mose i na mamo a Iseraela, e malama lakou i ka moliaola.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating the Passover.
5 A malama no lakou i ka moliaola i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama mua, i ke ahiahi, ma ka waonahele o Sinai: e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose, pela na mamo a Iseraela i hana'i.
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 A o kekahi mau kanaka, ua haumia lakou i ke kupapau o ke kanaka, a pono ole ia lakou ke malama i ka moliaola ia la: a hele mai lakou imua o Mose, a imua o Aarona ia la.
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 I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, Ua haumia makou i ke kupapau o ke kanaka: no ke aha la i keakeaia'i makou, i ole e kaumaha aku ai makou i mohai na Iehova i kona manawa i kauohaia'i me na mamo a Iseraela!
“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 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, E ku malie oukou, a lohe au i ka mea a Iehova e kauoha mai ai no oukou.
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
[So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
10 E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka i ana, Ina he haumia ko kekahi kanaka o oukou a o ka oukou poe mamo paha, i ke kupapau, a ua moamao aku paha ia i ka hele ana, e malama no hoi ia i ka moliaola no Iehova.
“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 I ka la umikumamaha, o ka lua o ka malama, i ke ahiahi, e malama lakou ia mea, e ai hoi lakou ia me ka berena hu ole, a me na lau mulea.
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 Aole lakou e waiho i kanwahi o ia mea, a ao, aole hoi e uhai i kekahi iwi ona: ma na kanawai a pau no ka moliaola ka lakou e malama ai ia.
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 Aka, o ke kanaka haumia ole, aole hoi i hala i ka hele ana, a ua malama ole i ka moliaola, e hookiia'ku oia mai kona poe kanaka aku; no ka mea, aole ia i lawe mai i ka mohai na Iehova i kona manawa i kauohaia'i; e lawe ia kanaka i kona hewa iho.
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 Ina hoi e noho ana kekahi malihini me oukou, a ua makemake ia e malama i ka moliaola no Iehova; e like me ke kanawai no ka moliaola, a e like hoi me kona oihana, pela no ia e hana'i: i hookahi no kanawai ia oukou no ka malihini, a no ka mea i hanau ma ka aina.
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
15 I ka la i kukuluia'i, ka halelewa, uhi iho la ke ao maluna o ka halelewa, ma ke keena o ke kanawai; a ahiahi, ua ikea ka mea me he ahi la maluna o ka halelewa a hiki i kakahiaka.
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 A pela mau no: uhi mai la keao ia in, a i ka po ua ikea ka mea me he ahi la.
17 A i ka manawa i pii ai ke ao mailuna ae o ka halelewa, ma ia hope iho, haele aku la na mamo a Iseraela: a ma kahi i ku malie ai ke ao, malaila na mamo a Iseraela i hoomoana ai.
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 Ma ke kauoha a Iehova i hele ai na mamo a Iseraela, a ma ke kauoha a Iehova i hoomoaua ai lakou: i na la a pau i ku malie ai ke ao maluna o ka halelewa, noho iho la lakou ma na halelole o lakou.
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 Aia ku liuliu iho la ke ao maluna o ka halelewa a nui na la, alaila malama na mamo a Iseraela i ka oihana a Iehova, aole no i hele aku.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
20 A i ka wa i ku malie ai ke ao maluna o ka halelewa a uuku na la; e like me ke kauoha ana a Iehova i noho ai lakou ma ko lakou mau halelole, a e like me ke kauoha ana mai a Iehova i haele ai lakou.
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 A i ka wa i noho ai ke ao mai ke ahiahi a hiki i kakahiaka, a pii ae la ke ao i kakahiaka, alaila, haele lakou: ina ma ke ao paha, ma ka po paha i pii ae ke ao, haele no lakou.
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 Ina hoi i noho ke ao maluna o ka halelewa i na la elua, i ka malama paha, a i ka makahiki paha, e kau ana malaila, noho iho la na mamo a Iseraela iloko o ko lakou mau halelole, aole lakou i hele: aia i ka wa i pii ae ia, hele lakou.
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 Ma ke kauoha a Iehova i noho ai lakou, iloko o ko lakou mau halelole, a ma ke kauoha ana a Iehova i haele ai lakou: malama no lakou i ka oihana a Iehova ma ke kauoha a Iehova, i ka lima o Mose.
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.
