Ọnụọgụgụ 9

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ndị a nʼọzara Saịnaị nʼọnwa mbụ nʼafọ nke abụọ site nʼoge ha hapụrụ ala Ijipt. Ọ sịrị ya,

The Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:

2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge a kara aka.

Let the children of Israel make the phase in its due time,

3 Ha mee ya nʼoge a kara aka, malite nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa a. Ha ga-eme ya nʼusoro dịka iwu na ụkpụrụ e ji eme ya si dị.”

The fourteenth day of this month in the evening, according to all the ceremonies and justifications thereof.

4 Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel that they should make the phase.

5 Ha mekwara ya nʼọzara Saịnaị malite nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ. Ndị Izrel mere ihe niile nʼusoro dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.

And they made it in its proper time: the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in mount Sinai. The children of Israel did according to all things that the Lord had commanded Moses.

6 Ma ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel esoghị mee Mmemme Ngabiga ahụ nʼihi na ha rụrụ arụ site nʼịnọ ozu nso. Nʼihi ya, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Erọn nʼụbọchị ahụ,

But behold some who were unclean by occasion of the soul of a man, who could not make the phase on that day, coming to Moses and Aaron,

7 sị Mosis, “Anyị ghọrọ ndị rụrụ arụ nʼihi ịnọ ozu mmadụ nso. Gịnị ga-egbochi anyị iso ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ iwetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nʼoge a kara aka?”

Said to them: We are unclean by occasion of the soul of a man. Why are we kept back that we may not offer in its season the offering to the Lord among the children of Israel?

8 Mosis zara sị ha, “Cherenụ ka m ga jụta Onyenwe anyị ihe bụ uche ya banyere mkpa unu.”

And Moses answered them: Stay that I may consult the Lord what he will ordain concerning you.

9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Ọ bụrụ na e nwee onye Izrel ọbụla nke merụrụ onwe ya nʼoge Mmemme Ngabiga site nʼịnọ ozu mmadụ nso, maọbụ site nʼịnọ nʼije, ha nwekwara ike iso mee Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị.

Say to the children of Israel: The man that shall be unclean by occasion of one that is dead, or shall be in a journey afar off in your nation, let him make the phase to the Lord.

11 Kama ha ga-eme ya nʼuhuruchi abalị iri na anọ nke ọnwa abụọ. Ha ga-eri nwa atụrụ ha, achịcha na-ekoghị eko, na ahịhịa ilu.

In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce:

12 Ha agaghị erifọ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya ruo chi ọbụbọ ụbọchị so ya. Ha agaghị agbaji ọkpụkpụ ọbụla nke nwa atụrụ ahụ. Mgbe ha mere Mmemme Ngabiga, ha ga-esorokwa ụzọ niile e si eme mmemme ahụ mee nke ha.

They shall not leave any thing thereof until morning, a nor break a bone thereof, they shall observe all the ceremonies of the phase.

13 Ma ọbụla nọ nʼọnọdụ ịdị ọcha, onye nke na-anọghị nʼije nʼoge Mmemme Ngabiga ma kpachapụrụ anya hapụ isoro ndị ọzọ nʼoge mmemme a, a ga-ewezuga ya site nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel niile, nʼihi na ọ jụrụ iwetara Onyenwe anyị onyinye nʼoge a kara aka. Onye dị otu a ga-ebu ahụhụ mmehie ya nʼisi ya.

But if any man is clean, and was not on a journey, and did not make the phase, that soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he offered not sacrifice to the Lord in due season: he shall bear his sin.

14 “‘Onye ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu chọrọ iso na Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-eme ya nʼusoro dịka iwu na ụkpụrụ e nyere si dị. Unu ga-enwe otu iwu ahụ nye onye amụrụ nʼala na mbịarambịa.’”

The sojourner also and the stranger if they be among you, shall make the phase to the Lord according to the ceremonies and justifications thereof. The same ordinance shall be with you both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

15 Nʼụbọchị ahụ e guzobere ụlọ nzute ahụ bụ ụlọ ikwu nke igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, igwe ojii kpuchiri ya. Site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼụtụtụ igwe ojii ahụ dị nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ dịka ọkụ nʼile anya.

Now on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, a cloud covered it. But from the evening there was over the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

16 Otu a ka ọ dịgidere mgbe niile. Igwe ojii kpuchigidere ya, ma nʼabalị ọ na-acha dị ka ọkụ.

So it was always: by day the cloud covered it, and by night as it were the appearance of fire.

17 Mgbe ọ bụla igwe ojii ahụ si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem, ma mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide, ha na-anọgidekwa.

And when the cloud that covered the tabernacle was taken up, then the children of Israel marched forward: and in the place where the cloud stood still, there they camped.

18 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyekwara iwu, ha na-akwụsị, maa ụlọ ikwu ha. Oge niile igwe ojii nọgidere nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ ka ụmụ Izrel na-anọgidekwa nʼụlọ ikwu ha.

At the commandment of the Lord they marched, and at his commandment they pitched the tabernacle. All the days that the cloud abode over the tabernacle, they remained in the same place:

19 Ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ anọọtee anya, ụmụ Izrel nʼonwe ha na-erube isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị hapụ ịga nʼihu nʼije ha.

And if it was so that it continued over it a long time, the children of Israel kept the watches of the Lord, and marched not,

20 Oge ụfọdụ, igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide naanị abalị ole na ole. Dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị si dị, ha na-ama ụlọ ikwu ha, maọbụ bulie njem ha.

For as many days soever as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle. At the commandment of the Lord they pitched their tents, and at his commandment they took them down.

21 Oge ụfọdụ, igwe ojii ahụ na-anọgide naanị site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼụtụtụ. Mgbe o si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie nʼụtụtụ, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem ha. Ọ bụrụ nʼehihie, maọbụ nʼabalị, mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ biliri, ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem ha.

If the cloud tarried from evening until morning, and immediately at break of day left the tabernacle, they marched forward: and if it departed after a day and a night, they took down their tents.

22 Ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ anọdụ nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ abalị abụọ, maọbụ otu ọnwa, maọbụ otu afọ, ụmụ Izrel na-anọgide nʼụlọ ikwu ha. Ma ngwangwa igwe ojii ahụ biliri, ha onwe ha na-ebulikwa njem ha.

But if it remained over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a longer time, the children of Israel remained in the same place, and marched not: but immediately as soon as it departed, they removed the camp.

23 Site nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị na-enye, ha na-ama ụlọ ikwu ha, sitekwa nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ha, ha na-ebili njem. Ha mere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru nʼusoro dịka iwu o nyere ha site nʼọnụ Mosis si dị.

By the word of the Lord they pitched their tents, and by his word they marched: and kept the watches of the Lord according to his commandment by the hand of Moses.
