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 wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga nʼoge a kara aka.
“Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
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 shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
4 Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị ha mee Mmemme Ngabiga.
Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep 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.
They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
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 were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that 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 him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season amongst the children of Israel?”
8 Mosis zara sị ha, “Cherenụ ka m ga jụta Onyenwe anyị ihe bụ uche ya banyere mkpa unu.”
Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
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, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover 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 at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and 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 shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
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 the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man 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.’”
“‘If a foreigner lives amongst you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is 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 raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16 Otu a ka ọ dịgidere mgbe niile. Igwe ojii kpuchigidere ya, ma nʼabalị ọ na-acha dị ka ọkụ.
So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by 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, then after that the children of Israel travelled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
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, the children of Israel travelled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
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 stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t 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 was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they travelled.
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 from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they travelled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they travelled.
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 it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they travelled.
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.
At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they travelled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.
