Hesabu 9
1 Bwana akasema na Mose katika Jangwa la Sinai katika mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wa pili baada ya Waisraeli kutoka Misri. Akasema,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
2 “Waamuru Waisraeli waadhimishe Pasaka katika wakati ulioamriwa.
“Also, the sons of Israel prepare the Passover in its appointed time;
3 Adhimisheni wakati ulioamriwa, yaani wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi huu, kufuatana na desturi zake zote na masharti yake.”
in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings you prepare it in its appointed time; you prepare it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
4 Hivyo Mose akawaambia Waisraeli waiadhimishe Pasaka,
And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel to prepare the Passover,
5 nao wakafanya hivyo kwenye Jangwa la Sinai wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza. Waisraeli wakafanya kila kitu kama vile Bwana alivyomwamuru Mose.
and they prepare the Passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel have done.
6 Lakini baadhi yao hawakuweza kuadhimisha Pasaka siku ile kwa sababu walikuwa najisi kwa taratibu za kiibada kwa ajili ya kugusa maiti. Kwa hiyo wakamwendea Mose na Aroni siku ile ile,
And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the Passover on that day, and they come near before Moses and before Aaron on that day,
7 wakamwambia Mose, “Tumekuwa najisi kwa sababu tumegusa maiti, lakini kwa nini tuzuiliwe kumtolea Bwana sadaka yake pamoja na Waisraeli wengine katika wakati ulioamriwa?”
and those men say to him, “We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, in the midst of the sons of Israel?”
8 Mose akawajibu, “Ngojeni mpaka nitafute kile Bwana anachoagiza kuwahusu ninyi.”
And Moses says to them, “Stand, and I hear what YHWH has commanded concerning you.”
9 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
10 “Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Wakati mmoja wenu au wazao wenu wanapokuwa najisi kwa sababu ya maiti au wakiwa safarini, hata hivyo wanaweza kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), he has still prepared a Passover to YHWH;
11 Wataiadhimisha wakati wa kuzama jua siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa pili. Watamla mwana-kondoo, pamoja na mkate usiotiwa chachu, na mboga chungu.
they prepare it in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings; they eat it with unleavened and bitter things;
12 Wasibakize chochote hadi asubuhi wala wasivunje mifupa ya mwana-kondoo. Wakati wanapoadhimisha Pasaka, hawana budi kufuata masharti yote.
they do not leave of [it] until morning; and they do not break a bone in it; they prepare it according to all the statute of the Passover.
13 Lakini kama mtu ni safi kwa taratibu za kiibada naye hayuko safarini, asipoadhimisha Pasaka, mtu huyo hana budi kukatiliwa mbali na watu wake kwa sababu hakutoa sadaka ya Bwana kwa wakati ulioamriwa. Mtu huyo atawajibika kubeba matokeo ya dhambi yake.
And the man who is clean, and has not been on a journey, and has ceased to prepare the Passover, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; because he has not brought the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, that man bears his sin.
14 “‘Mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu ambaye anataka kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana, lazima afanye hivyo kwa kufuata desturi na masharti. Lazima masharti yawe sawasawa kwa mgeni na mzawa.’”
And when a sojourner sojourns with you, then he has prepared a Passover to YHWH—according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he does; one statute is for you, indeed, for a sojourner and for a native of the land.”
15 Katika siku hiyo ambayo Maskani, Hema la Ushuhuda, iliposimamishwa, wingu liliifunika. Kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi wingu lililokuwa juu ya Maskani lilionekana kama moto.
And in the day of the raising up of the Dwelling Place, the cloud has covered the Dwelling Place, even the Tent of the Testimony; and in the evening there is as an appearance of fire on the Dwelling Place until morning;
16 Hivyo ndivyo lilivyoendelea kuwa; wingu liliifunika wakati wa mchana, na usiku lilionekana kama moto.
so it is continually; the cloud covers it, also the appearance of fire by night.
17 Wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Hema, nao Waisraeli waliondoka; mahali popote wingu liliposimama, Waisraeli walipiga kambi.
And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent, then afterward the sons of Israel journey; and in the place where the cloud dwells, there the sons of Israel encamp;
18 Kwa amri ya Bwana Waisraeli waliondoka, na kwa amri yake walipiga kambi. Kwa muda wote wingu liliposimama juu ya Maskani, Waisraeli walibaki wamepiga kambi.
by the command of YHWH the sons of Israel journey, and by the command of YHWH they encamp; all the days that the cloud dwells over the Dwelling Place they encamp.
19 Wakati wingu lilipobaki juu ya Maskani kwa muda mrefu, Waisraeli walitii amri ya Bwana nao hawakuondoka.
And in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place many days, then the sons of Israel have kept the charge of YHWH, and do not journey.
20 Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwa juu ya Maskani kwa siku chache tu; kwa amri ya Bwana wangelipiga kambi na kisha kwa amri yake wangeliondoka.
And so when the cloud is over the Dwelling Place [for] a number of days: by the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey.
21 Wakati mwingine wingu lilikuwepo kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi tu, na lilipoinuka asubuhi, nao waliondoka. Ikiwa ni mchana au usiku, wakati wowote wingu lilipoinuka, waliondoka.
And so when the cloud is from evening until morning, when the cloud has gone up in the morning, then they have journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud has gone up, then they have journeyed.
22 Ikiwa wingu lilikaa juu ya Maskani kwa siku mbili au mwezi au mwaka, Waisraeli wangebaki wamepiga kambi na hawakuondoka; lakini lilipoinuka, wangeondoka.
Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place, to dwell over it, the sons of Israel encamp and do not journey; and in its being lifted up they journey.
23 Kwa amri ya Bwana walipiga kambi, na kwa amri ya Bwana waliondoka. Walitii amri ya Bwana, kufuatana na agizo lake kupitia Mose.
By the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey; they have kept the charge of YHWH, by the command of YHWH in the hand of Moses.
