Tauanga 9
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i te koraha o Hinai, i te rua o nga tau o to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te tahi o nga marama, i mea,
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 Me mahi ano te kapenga e nga tama a Iharaira i tona wa ano.
“The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.
3 Me mahi i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o tenei marama, i te ahiahi, i tona wa ano: kia rite ki ona tikanga katoa, ki ona ritenga katoa, ta koutou meatanga.
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 Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira kia mahia te kapenga.
So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,
5 A ka mahia e ratou te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama tuatahi, i te ahiahi, i te koraha o Hinai: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.
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 Na tera etahi tangata i poke i te tupapaku, i kore ai e ahei te mahi i te kapenga i taua ra: na ka haere ratou ki te aroaro o Mohi raua ko Arona i taua ra;
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 A ka mea aua tangata ki a ia, Kua poke matou i te tupapaku: he aha matou te tukua ai ki te whakahere i te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, i roto i nga tama a Iharaira?
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 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, E tu koutou, a me whakarongo atu ahau ki to Ihowa e whakahau ai mo koutou.
“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.
9 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
10 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te poke i te tupapaku tetahi o koutou, o o koutou uri ranei, ki te mea ranei kei tawhiti e haere ana, me mahi ano e ia te kapenga ki a Ihowa.
“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 Me mahi e ratou i te rua o nga marama, i te tekau ma wha o nga ra, i te ahiahi, me kinaki ki te taro rewenakore, ki nga puwha kawa:
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 Kaua tetahi wahi o tena mea e whakatoea e ratou mo te ata, kaua ano hoki e whatiia tetahi o ona wheua; kia rite ki nga tikanga katoa o te kapenga ta ratou mahinga i tena mahi.
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 Ko te tangata ia kahore ona poke, a kahore ano i te haere, a e mangere ana ki te mahi i te kapenga, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi: kahore nei hoki i kawea e ia te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, ka waha e taua tangata tona hara.
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 A ki te noho he manene i roto i a koutou, a ka mea ki te mahi i te kapenga ki a Ihowa; kia rite ki nga tikanga o te kapenga, ki nga ritenga ano o taua mahi, tana e mea ai: kia kotahi ano ta koutou tikanga mo te manene raua ko te tangata whenua.
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 A i te ra i whakaarahia ai te tapenakara, ka taupokina te tapenakara e te kapua, ara te teneti o te whakaaturanga: a i te ahiahi i rite a runga o te tapenakara ki te ahua ahi, taea noatia te ata.
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 I pera tonu: i taupokina e te kapua i te awatea, e te ahua ahi hoki i te po.
It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.
17 Ka riro ake hoki te kapua i runga i te tapenakara, na, muri iho, ka haere nga tama a Iharaira: a i te wahi i tau ai te kapua ka whakaturia e nga tama a Iharaira o ratou teneti ki reira.
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 Na ko nga haerenga o nga tama a Iharaira na te whakahau a Ihowa, a ko o ratou nohoanga iho na te whakahau ano a Ihowa: i noho ano ratou i nga ra katoa i tau ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara.
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 A ka maha nga ra i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, na ka rite i nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, a kihai i haere.
Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.
20 A he wa ano i torutoru nga ra o te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara; heoi na te whakahau a Ihowa ka noho ratou i o ratou teneti, a na te whakahau ano a Ihowa ka haere ratou.
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 A i etahi wa i tuturu te kapua i te ahiahi taea noatia te ata; a ka riro ake te kapua i te ata, na ka haere ratou: ahakoa he ao, he po ranei, i riro ake ai te kapua, i haere ano ratou.
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 Ahakoa e rua nga ra, kotahi marama ranei, kotahi tau ranei, i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, i mau ai ki reira, na noho a puni tonu iho nga tama a Iharaira, kahore hoki i haere: tona rironga ake ki runga, na ka haere ratou.
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 Na te whakahau a Ihowa ta ratou noho, na te whakahau hoki a Ihowa ta ratou haere: i rite i a ratou ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, i korerotia ai e Mohi.
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.
