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,
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt. He said,
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge a kara aka.
“Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its fixed time of year.
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.”
On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you must keep the Passover at its fixed time of year. You must keep it, follow all the regulations, and obey all the decrees that are related to it.”
4 Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga.
So, Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Festival of the Passover.
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.
So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. The people of Israel obeyed everything that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
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,
There were certain men who became unclean by the body of a dead man. They could not keep the Passover on that day. They went before Moses and Aaron on that same day.
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?”
Those men said to Moses, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why do you keep us from offering the sacrifice to Yahweh at the fixed time of year among the people of Israel?”
8 Mosis zara sị ha, “Cherenụ ka m ga jụta Onyenwe anyị ihe bụ uche ya banyere mkpa unu.”
Moses said to them, “Wait for me to hear what Yahweh will instruct about you.”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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.
“Speak to the people of Israel. Say, 'If any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are on a long journey, he may still keep the Passover to Yahweh.'
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 at evening, they will eat the Passover meal. They must eat the Passover lamb with bread that is made without yeast and with bitter herbs.
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 must not leave any of it until the morning, or break any of its bones. They must follow all the regulations for the Passover.
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 any person who is clean and is not on a journey, but who fails to keep the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not offer the sacrifice that Yahweh requires at the fixed time of year. That man must carry 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.’”
If a stranger lives among you and keeps the Passover in Yahweh's honor, he must keep it and do all he commands, keeping the rules of the Passover, and obeying the laws for it. You must have the same law for the foreigner and for all who have been 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.
On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant decrees. At evening the cloud was over the tabernacle. It appeared like fire until morning.
16 Otu a ka ọ dịgidere mgbe niile. Igwe ojii kpuchigidere ya, ma nʼabalị ọ na-acha dị ka ọkụ.
It continued that way. The cloud covered the tabernacle and appeared like fire at night.
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.
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the people of Israel would set out on their journey. Wherever the cloud stopped, the people would camp.
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 Yahweh's command, the people of Israel would travel, and at his command, they would camp. While the cloud stopped over the tabernacle, they would stay in their camp.
19 Ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ anọọtee anya, ụmụ Izrel nʼonwe ha na-erube isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị hapụ ịga nʼihu nʼije ha.
When the cloud remained on the tabernacle for many days, then the people of Israel would obey Yahweh's instructions and not travel.
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.
Sometimes the cloud remained a few days on the tabernacle. In that case, they would obey Yahweh's command—they would make camp and then travel on again at his command.
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.
Sometimes the cloud was present in camp from evening until morning. When the cloud lifted in the morning, they journeyed. If it continued for a day and for a night, only when the cloud lifted would they journey on.
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.
Whether the cloud stayed on the tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, for as long as it stayed there, the people of Israel would stay in their camp and not travel. But whenever the cloud was taken up, they would set out on their journey.
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.
They would camp at Yahweh's command, and they would travel at his command. They obeyed Yahweh's command given through Moses.
