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,
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 “Mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli máa pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́ ní àsìkò rẹ̀.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
3 Ẹ ṣe é ní àsìkò rẹ̀ gan an ní ìdajì ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù yìí ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àwọn òfin àti ìlànà rẹ̀.”
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 Mose sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé kí wọ́n máa pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
“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 Mose sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ dúró kí n ba lè mọ ohun tí Olúwa yóò pàṣẹ nípa yín.”
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
[So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
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 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 Wọn yóò ṣe tiwọn ní ìdajì ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kejì. Wọn yóò jẹ ẹran náà, pẹ̀lú àkàrà aláìwú àti ewúro.
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 Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ ṣẹ́ ọ̀kankan kù di àárọ̀, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣẹ́ eegun rẹ̀. Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé gbogbo ìlànà fún ṣíṣe àjọ ìrékọjá.
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 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.
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 “‘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.’”
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
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.
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì rí nígbà gbogbo; ìkùùkuu bò ó, àti pé ní alẹ́ ìrísí rẹ̀ sì dàbí iná.
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 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 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.
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 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.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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.
