< Numbers 9 >
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose nínú aginjù Sinai ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní ọdún kejì lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wí pé,
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert in the first month of the second year after Israel had left Egypt. He told him,
2 “Mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli máa pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́ ní àsìkò rẹ̀.
“The Israelites are to keep the Passover at its designated time.
3 Ẹ ṣe é ní àsìkò rẹ̀ gan an ní ìdajì ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù yìí ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àwọn òfin àti ìlànà rẹ̀.”
Observe it at the time required—in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of this month, and do so in accordance with its rules and regulations.”
4 Mose sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé kí wọ́n máa pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́.
Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover.
5 Wọ́n sì ṣe àjọ ìrékọjá ní aginjù Sinai ní ìdajì ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kìn-ín-ní. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣe gbogbo nǹkan gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
So they kept the Passover in the Sinai desert, beginning in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites followed all the instructions the Lord had given to Moses.
6 Àwọn díẹ̀ nínú wọn kò lè ṣe àjọ ìrékọjá lọ́jọ́ náà nítorí pé wọ́n di aláìmọ́ nítorí òkú ènìyàn. Nítorí èyí wọ́n wá sọ́dọ̀ Mose àti Aaroni lọ́jọ́ náà.
However, there were some men who were unclean because they had been contact with a dead body, so they could not keep the Passover on that day. They went to see Moses and Aaron the same day
7 Wọ́n sọ fún Mose pé, “A di aláìmọ́ nípa òkú ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n kí ló dé tí a kò fi ní í le è fi ọrẹ wa fún Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ará Israẹli yòókù ní àsìkò tí a ti yàn.”
and explained to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should that mean we're prevented from giving our offering to the Lord with the other Israelites at the appropriate time?”
8 Mose sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ dúró kí n ba lè mọ ohun tí Olúwa yóò pàṣẹ nípa yín.”
“Stay here while I find out what the Lord's instructions are concerning you,” Moses responded.
9 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The Lord told Moses,
10 “Sọ fún àwọn ará Israẹli: ‘Bí ẹnìkan nínú yín tàbí nínú ìran yín bá di aláìmọ́ nípa òkú ènìyàn tàbí bí ó bá lọ sí ìrìnàjò síbẹ̀ yóò pa àjọ ìrékọjá Olúwa mọ́.
“Tell the Israelites: ‘If you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are away traveling, you can still keep the Lord's Passover.
11 Wọn yóò ṣe tiwọn ní ìdajì ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kejì. Wọn yóò jẹ ẹran náà, pẹ̀lú àkàrà aláìwú àti ewúro.
You are to observe it in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the second month. You are to eat the lamb with the bread made without yeast, and the bitter herbs.
12 Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ ṣẹ́ ọ̀kankan kù di àárọ̀, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣẹ́ eegun rẹ̀. Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé gbogbo ìlànà fún ṣíṣe àjọ ìrékọjá.
You must not leave any of it until the following morning and you must not break any of its bones. You must observe the Passover according to all the regulations.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan tó wà ní mímọ́ tí kò sì lọ sí ìrìnàjò bá kọ̀ láti pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́, irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó gé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nítorí pé kò mú ọrẹ Olúwa wá ní àsìkò tí ó yẹ. Ẹni náà yóò sì ru ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀.
However, anyone ceremonially clean and not away traveling who neglects to observe the Passover must be expelled from their people, because they didn't present the Lord's offering at the appropriate time. They will bear the responsibility for the consequences of their sin.
14 “‘Bí àlejò tí ń gbé láàrín yín bá fẹ́ ṣe àjọ ìrékọjá Olúwa, ó gbọdọ̀ pa á mọ́ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìlànà àti òfin rẹ̀. Ìlànà kan náà ni kí ẹ ní fún àlejò àti àwọn ọmọ bíbí ilẹ̀ yín.’”
Any foreigners living among you who want to observe the Lord's Passover can do so following the Passover rules and regulations. The same rules apply to the foreigners as they do to you.’”
15 Ní ọjọ́ tí wọ́n gbé àgọ́ ró, èyí tí í ṣe àgọ́ ẹ̀rí, dúró, ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ bò ó mọ́lẹ̀. Ìkùùkuu náà sì dàbí iná ní orí àgọ́ láti ìrọ̀lẹ́ títí di òwúrọ̀.
The cloud covered the Tent of the Testimony (the Tabernacle) on the day that it was set up, and looked like fire above it from evening until the morning.
16 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì rí nígbà gbogbo; ìkùùkuu bò ó, àti pé ní alẹ́ ìrísí rẹ̀ sì dàbí iná.
It was always like this. The cloud covered the Tabernacle during the day and at night it looked like fire.
17 Nígbàkígbà tí ìkùùkuu yìí bá ká sókè kúrò lórí àgọ́ ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò dìde láti máa lọ; ibikíbi tí ìkùùkuu náà bá dúró sí ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò pa ibùdó wọn sí.
When the cloud rose from over the Tent, the Israelites would move on, and where the cloud stopped, the Israelites would set up camp there.
18 Nípa àṣẹ Olúwa ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń jáde lọ, nípa àṣẹ Olúwa náà sì ni wọ́n ń pa ibùdó wọn. Nígbà tí ìkùùkuu bá dúró sórí àgọ́, àwọn náà yóò dúró sí ibùdó.
The Israelites moved on when the Lord told them to, and set up camp when the Lord told them to. While the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle, they remained camped there.
19 Nígbà tí ìkùùkuu bá dúró sórí àgọ́ fún ìgbà pípẹ́, síbẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa wọn kò sì ní gbéra láti lọ.
Even if the cloud didn't move for a long time, the Israelites did what the Lord told them and didn't move on.
20 Ìgbà mìíràn ìkùùkuu lè wà lórí àgọ́ fún ọjọ́ díẹ̀; síbẹ̀ ní àṣẹ Olúwa, wọn yóò dúró ní ibùdó, bí ó sì tún yá, ní àṣẹ rẹ̀ náà ni wọn yóò gbéra.
Sometimes the cloud only stayed over the Tabernacle for a few days. As always they followed the Lord's command as to whether to camp or to move on.
21 Ìgbà mìíràn ìkùùkuu lè dúró láti ìrọ̀lẹ́ di àárọ̀, nígbà tó bá ṣí kúrò ní àárọ̀, wọn ó gbéra. Ìbá à ṣe ní ọ̀sán tàbí òru, ìgbàkígbà tí ìkùùkuu bá tó kúrò náà ni wọn ó tó gbéra.
Sometimes the cloud only stayed overnight, so when it rose in the morning they would move on. Whenever the cloud rose, day or night, they would leave.
22 Ìbá à ṣe fún ọjọ́ méjì, oṣù kan tàbí ọdún kan ni ìkùùkuu fi dúró sórí àgọ́, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò dúró ní ibùdó wọn, wọn kò ní gbéra; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó bá lọ sókè ni wọn ó tó o gbéra.
If the cloud stayed in one place for two days, or a month, or longer, the Israelites stayed where they were and didn't leave as long as the cloud remained over the Tabernacle. However, once it rose, they would leave.
23 Nípa àṣẹ Olúwa ni wọ́n ń pa ibùdó wọn, nípa àṣẹ Olúwa náà sì ni wọ́n ń gbéra. Wọ́n gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àṣẹ Olúwa láti ẹnu Mose.
They camped when the Lord told them to, and left when he told them to. They followed the Lord's instructions that he gave to Moses.
