1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai, na sanza ya liboso ya mobu oyo ya mibale sima na kobima na bango na Ejipito. Alobaki na ye:
In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:
2 « Tika ete bana ya Isalaele basepela feti ya Pasika na mokolo oyo ekatama.
“The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.
3 Bosala feti yango na tango oyo ekatama, na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza oyo, kolanda mibeko mpe malako na yango nyonso. »
You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”
4 Boye, Moyize ayebisaki bana ya Isalaele ete basepelaka feti ya Pasika.
So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,
5 Basepelaki Pasika kati na esobe ya Sinai, na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza ya liboso. Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize.
and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 Kasi bato mosusu kati na bango basepelaki Pasika te na mokolo wana, pamba te bazalaki mbindo mpo ete basimbaki ebembe. Boye, kaka na mokolo wana, bakendeki komona Moyize na Aron
But there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron that same day
7 mpe bayebisaki Moyize: — Tokomi mbindo mpo ete tosimbaki ebembe. Boye, mpo na nini te biso mpe tomema likabo na biso epai na Yawe elongo na bato mosusu ya Isalaele?
and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”
8 Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bozela nanu ete naluka koyeba makambo oyo Yawe atindi na tina na bino.
“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
9 Boye Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
10 — Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: « Soki moko kati na bino to kati na bakitani na bino akomi mbindo mpo ete asimbi ebembe na mokolo wana, ezala soki azali mosika na mobembo, akoki kosepela feti ya Pasika mpo na lokumu na Yawe.
“Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.
11 Basengeli kosepela yango na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya mibale; bakolia mwana meme elongo na mapa ezanga levire mpe matiti ya bololo.
Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12 Bakotika eloko moko te kino na tongo mpe bakobuka mokuwa ata moko te. Basengeli kolanda mibeko na yango nyonso na tango ya kosepela feti ya Pasika.
they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.
13 Kasi soki moto moko asepeli feti ya Pasika te, wana azali mbindo te mpe asali mobembo te, basengeli kolongola ye kati na libota na ye, pamba te abonzeli Yawe likabo te na tango oyo ekatama; akomema mikumba ya masumu na ye.
But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
14 Soki mpe mopaya oyo avandi kati na bino alingi kosepela Pasika ya Yawe, asengeli kosala kaka bongo, asengeli kolanda mibeko mpe malako na yango. Ezala mpo na bapaya to mpo na bana mboka, bosengeli kozala na mibeko ya losambo ya ndenge moko. »
If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”
15 Na mokolo oyo batelemisaki Mongombo, lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli. Wuta na pokwa kino na tongo, lipata oyo ezalaki likolo ya Mongombo ezalaki komonana lokola moto.
On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.
16 Mpe ekobaki kozala kaka ndenge wana: lipata ezalaki kozipa Mongombo; bongo na butu, ezalaki komonana lokola moto.
It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.
17 Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kolongwa na likolo ya Ndako ya kapo, bana ya Isalaele mpe bazalaki kokende; mpe esika nyonso oyo lipata ezalaki kotelema, esika wana nde bazalaki mpe kosala molako na bango.
Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.
18 Ezalaki na mitindo na Yawe kaka nde bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotambola mpe kosala molako na bango. Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kowumela na likolo ya Mongombo, bango mpe bazalaki kowumela na molako.
At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.
19 Soki lipata ewumeli tango molayi likolo ya Mongombo, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotosa mitindo na Yawe mpe bazalaki kokende te.
Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.
20 Soki mpe lipata esali kaka mwa ndambo ya mikolo na likolo ya Mongombo, na mitindo na Yawe, bazalaki kowumela na molako na bango; mpe bazalaki kokende soki kaka Yawe apesi mitindo.
Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.
21 Na mbala mosusu, lipata ezalaki kowumela butu moko kaka, wuta na pokwa kino na tongo; bongo tango ezalaki kolongwa na tongo na esika moko mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, bango mpe bazalaki kokende. To mpe ezalaki kosala mokolo moko mpe butu moko; mpe soki elongwe, bango mpe bazalaki kokende.
Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.
22 Soki lipata etelemi na likolo ya Mongombo mikolo mibale to sanza moko to mpe mobu moko, bana ya Isalaele mpe bazalaki kaka kowumela na molako, bazalaki kokende te; kasi soki elongwe, bango mpe bazalaki kokende.
Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.
23 Ezalaki kaka na mitindo na Yawe nde bazalaki kowumela na molako to kokende. Boye, bazalaki kosala mosala ya Yawe kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
