Nomery 9

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy tany an-efitr’ i Sinay tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona faharoa taorian’ ny nivoahany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year after their coming out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,

2 Aoka hotandreman’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Paska amin’ ny fotoany.

That the children of Israel shall prepare the passover-lamb at its appointed season.

3 Amin’ ny harivan’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ity volana ity no hitandremanareo azy amin’ ny fotoany; araka ny didy sy ny fanao rehetra aminy no hitandremanareo azy.

On the fourteenth day of this month, toward evening, shall ye prepare it at its appointed season: according to all its ordinances, and according to all its prescribed rules, shall ye prepare it.

4 Ary Mosesy niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba hitandrina ny Paska.

And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should prepare the passover-lamb.

5 Dia nitandrina ny Paska tany an-efitr’ i Sinay izy tamin’ ny harivan’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And they prepared the passover-lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month toward evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

6 Ary nisy olona sasany izay naloto tamim-paty ka tsy nahazo nitandrina ny Paska tamin’ izany andro izany; dia nankeo anatrehan’ i Mosesy sy Arona izy tamin’ izany andro izany

But there were certain men, who had been defiled by the dead body of a man, and they could not prepare the passover-lamb on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

7 ka nanao taminy hoe: Maloto tamim-paty izahay, ka nahoana no sakanana tsy hiaraka amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hanatitra ny fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fotoany?

And these men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore shall we be kept back, so as not to offer the sacrifice of the Lord at its appointed season in the midst of the [other] children of Israel?

8 Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Andraso aloha, fa hanontaniako izay handidian’ i Jehovah ny aminareo.

And Moses said unto them, Wait ye, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

9 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

10 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha misy olona eo aminareo, na eo amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny fara mandimby, maloto amim-paty, na lasan-davitra, dia mbola hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah ihany koa izy.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man whatever should be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a distant journey, among you or your posterity: yet shall he prepare the passover-lamb unto the Lord;

11 Amin’ ny harivan’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana faharoa no hitandremany azy; ary hampiarahina amin’ ny mofo tsy misy masirasira sy ny anana mangidy no fihinany azy.

In the second month on the fourteenth day toward evening shall they prepare it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

12 Aza avela hasiany sisa ho tra-maraina, ary aza avela hisy hotapahiny ny taolany; araka ny lalàna rehetra ny amin’ ny Paska ihany koa no hitandremany azy.

They shall leave none of it until morning, and no bone shall they break on it: according to the whole ordinance of the passover-lamb shall they prepare it.

13 Fa ny olona izay madio sady tsy lasan-davitra, nefa tsy mety mitandrina ny Paska, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny, satria tsy nanatitra ny fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fotoany izy; ho meloka izany olona izany.

But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to prepare the passover-lamb, even that same soul shall be cut off from his people; because the offering of the Lord hath he not brought at its appointed season, his sin shall that man bear.

14 Ary raha misy mivahiny eo aminareo ka mba te-hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah, dia araka ny didy sy ny fanao amin’ ny Paska ihany no hanaovany azy; lalàna iray ihany no ho aminareo, na vahiny, na tompon-tany.

And if a stranger sojourn among you, and will prepare the passover-lamb unto the Lord: according to the ordinance of the passover-lamb, and according to its prescribed rule, so shall he prepare it; one statute shall be for you, both for the stranger, and for the native born in the land.

15 Ary tamin’ ny andro izay nananganana ny tabernakely ny rahona dia nanarona ny tabernakely, dia ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona; ary nony hariva dia niseho teo ambonin’ ny tabernakely tahaka ny afo izy mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro.

And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of the testimony: and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

16 Dia toy izany mandrakariva izy: ny rahona nanarona azy, nefa niseho tahaka ny afo izy nony alina.

So it used to be always: the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night.

17 Ary rehefa niakatra niala tamin’ ny tranolay ny rahona, dia niainga ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka teo amin’ izay nijanonan’ ny rahona no nitobiany.

And as the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that did the children of Israel journey forward: and in the place where the cloud halted, there did the children of Israel encamp.

18 Araka ny didin’ i Jehovah no niaingan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary araka ny didin’ i Jehovah koa no nitobiany; tamin’ ny andro rehetra izay nijanonan’ ny rahona teo ambonin’ ny tabernakely no nitobiany.

At the order of the Lord did the children of Israel journey forward, and at the order of the Lord they encamped: all the days that the cloud abode upon the tabernacle did they remain in camp.

19 Ary na dia nijanona ela teo ambonin’ ny tabernakely aza ny rahona, dia nitandrina izay nasain’ i Jehovah notandremana ihany ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka tsy niainga.

And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then did the children of Israel keep the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not forward.

20 Fa indraindray kosa dia andro vitsy ihany no nijanonan’ ny rahona teo ambonin’ ny tabernakely; araka ny didin’ i Jehovah ihany no nitobiany, ary araka ny didin’ i Jehovah no niaingany.

And at times it was, that the cloud remained but a few days upon the tabernacle; at the order of the Lord they abode in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward.

21 Ary indraindray kosa dia nijanona hatramin’ ny hariva ka hatramin’ ny maraina ihany ny rahona, ary raha niakatra izy nony maraina, dia niainga ny Zanak’ Isiraely; koa na andro na alina no niakaran’ ny rahona, dia niainga izy.

And at times it was, that the cloud remained from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed forward; or a day and a night, and when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed forward;

22 Ary na indroa andro, na iray volana, na ela aza, no nijanonan’ ny rahona teo ambonin’ ny tabernakely dia mbola nitoby ihany ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fa tsy niainga; fa raha niakatra kosa ny rahona, dia niainga izy.

Or two days, or a month, or a year; so long as the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, to remain thereon, did the children of Israel remain encamped, and journeyed not forward; but when it was taken up, they journeyed forward.

23 Araka ny didin’ i Jehovah no nitobiany, ary araka ny didin’ i Jehovah no niaingany; nitandrina izay nasain’ i Jehovah notandremany izy, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.

At the order of the Lord they remained in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward: the charge of the Lord they kept, at the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
