Lakkoobsa 9
1 Waaqayyo erga isaan Gibxii baʼanii booddee jiʼa jalqabaa kan waggaa lammaffaatti Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti akkana jedhee Museetti dubbate;
One year after the Israelis left Egypt, during the month of March, while they were in the Sinai Desert, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Israaʼeloonni yeroo murtaaʼetti Faasiikaa haa ayyaaneffatan.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
3 Isin akkuma seeraa fi dambii ayyaana kanaa hundaatti yeroo murtaaʼetti jiʼa sana keessa, dimimmisa galgala guyyaa kudha afuraffaatti ayyaaneffadhaa.”
They must do it on the fourteenth day of this month, early in the evening, and they must obey all the instructions about it [that I gave you previously].”
4 Museen akka isaan Faasiikaa ayyaaneffatan Israaʼelootatti hime;
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating the Passover.
5 isaanis jiʼa jalqabaa keessa dimimmisa galgala guyyaa kudha afuraffaatti Gammoojjii Siinaa keessatti ayyaaneffatan. Sabni Israaʼel akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti waan hunda godhe.
The people celebrated it, there in the Sinai Desert, in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
6 Isaan keessaa namoonni tokko tokko sababii reeffa tuqanii xuraaʼaniif guyyaa sana Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuu hin dandeenye. Isaan guyyuma sana gara Musee fi Aroonii dhufanii,
But some of the Israeli people had touched a corpse, and as a result they had become unfit to celebrate the Passover. So they asked Aaron and Moses/me,
7 Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu sababii reeffa namaa tuqneef xuroofneerra; garuu maaliif yeroo murtaaʼe sanatti Israaʼeloota kaan wajjin aarsaa Waaqayyoo dhiʼeessuu dhowwamne?”
“It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else [RHQ]?”
8 Museenis, “Hamma ani waan Waaqayyo waaʼee keessan ajaju dhagaʼutti turaa” jedheen.
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
[So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
10 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi: ‘Isin keessaa yookaan ilmaan keessan keessaa namni tokko yoo reeffa tuqee xuraaʼe yookaan karaa fagoo deeme, inni amma iyyuu Faasiikaa Waaqayyoo ayyaaneffachuu ni dandaʼa.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: If any of you or your descendants touch a corpse and as a result become unacceptable to me, or if you are away from home on a long trip [at the time to celebrate the Passover], you will still be permitted to celebrate it.
11 Isaanis jiʼa lammaffaa keessa guyyaa kudha afuraffaa dimimmisa galgala Faasiikaa haa ayyaaneffatan. Faasiikaa sanas Maxinoo fi baala hadhaaʼaa wajjin haa nyaatan.
But you must celebrate it exactly one month later, early in the evening of the fourteenth day of that month. Eat the meat of the lamb for the Passover Festival with bread that is baked without yeast and eat bitter herbs.
12 Isaanis wantoota kanneen keessaa tokko iyyuu hamma ganamaatti hambisuu yookaan lafee isaa keessaa tokko iyyuu cabsuu hin qaban. Isaan yommuu Faasiikaa ayyaaneffatanitti dambiiwwan hunda duukaa buʼuu qabu.
Do not leave any of it until the next morning. And do not break any of the lamb’s bones. Obey all the regulations about celebrating the Passover.
13 Garuu namni qulqulluu taʼee karaa hin deemin yoo Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuu baate inni sababii yeroo murtaaʼetti aarsaa Waaqayyoo hin dhiʼeessiniif saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu. Namichi sun gatii cubbuu isaa ni argata.
But if any of you has not done anything that would make you unfit to celebrate the Passover Festival, and you are not away from home on a long trip, and you do not sacrifice to me at the proper time, you will no longer be allowed to associate with my people. (You will be punished/I will punish you).
14 “‘Alagaan isin gidduu jiraatu kan Faasiikaa Waaqayyoo ayyaaneffachuu fedhu tokko akkuma seeraa fi dambii Faasiikaatti haa ayyaaneffatu. Isinis alagaa fi dhalataa biyyaatiif seeruma tokkicha qabaadhaa.’”
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
15 Gaafa dunkaanni qulqulluun dhaabame sana duumessi dunkaana sana jechuunis dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa haguuge. Duumessi dunkaana qulqulluudhaan olii sunis galgalaa hamma ganamaatti ibidda fakkaata ture.
On the day that the Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose [the next day], the cloud resembled a [huge] fire. And that is what happened every day [that we/the Israelis were in the desert].
16 Wanni kunis yeroo hunda akkanuma ture; guyyaa duumessi isa haguuga ture; halkan immoo duumessi sun ibidda fakkaata ture.
17 Yeroo duumessi sun dunkaana irraa kaʼu Israaʼeloonni kaʼanii deemu turan; lafa duumessi buʼu immoo Israaʼeloonni ni qubatu.
When the cloud rose up and started to move [to a new location], we/they followed it. When the cloud stopped, we/the Israelis stopped there and set up their tents.
18 Israaʼeloonni ajaja Waaqayyootiin kaʼanii deemu; ajajuma isaatiinis qubatu. Yeroo duumessi dunkaana qulqulluun ol jiru isaanis qubata keessa turan.
We/They traveled when Yahweh, [by causing the cloud to move or stop], signaled to us/them when to move and when to stop. When the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent, we/the Israelis stayed at that place.
19 Yoo duumessi sun guyyaa hedduu dunkaana gubbaa tures Israaʼeloonni seera Waaqayyootiif waan ajajamaniif iddoo sanaa kaʼanii hin deeman ture.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
20 Yeroo tokko tokko duumessi sun guyyaa xinnaadhaaf dunkaana qulqulluu gubbaa oolee bula ture; isaanis ajaja Waaqayyootiin qubatu; ajajuma isaatiinis kaʼanii deemu.
Sometimes the cloud remained over the tent for only a few days. We/The people stopped and set up our/their tents as Yahweh commanded us/them, and we/they traveled [to a new location] when Yahweh commanded us/them to do that.
21 Yeroo tokko tokko duumessi sun galgalaa hamma ganamaatti jiraata ture; yommuu duumessi ganamaan kaʼu isaanis kaʼanii deemu. Guyyaas taʼu halkan, yeroo duumessi kaʼu isaanis kaʼanii deemu.
Sometimes the cloud stayed in one place for only one day. When that happened, when the cloud rose up [into the sky] the next morning, then we/they traveled. Whenever the cloud moved, during the day or during the night, we/they traveled.
22 Yeroo duumessi sun guyyaa lamas taʼu jiʼa tokko yookaan waggaa tokko dunkaana qulqulluu irra turutti Israaʼeloonni qubatuma keessa turu malee kaʼanii hin deeman ture; yeroo duumessichi kaʼutti garuu kaʼanii deemu.
If the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent for two days, or for a month, or for a year, during that time we/they stayed where we/they were. But when the cloud rose up [into the sky], we/they started to travel.
23 Isaan ajaja Waaqayyootiin qubatu; ajajuma Waaqayyootiinis kaʼanii deemu. Akkuma ajaja Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin kenne sanaattis seera isaatiif ajajamu.
When Yahweh commanded us/them to [stop and] set up our/their tents, we/they did that. When he told us/them to move, we/they moved. We/They did whatever Yahweh told Moses/me that we/they should do.
