Números 9

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 "Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances."

4 Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did. 6 There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"

8 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you."

9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh. 11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

14 "‘If a foreigner lives among you and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is born in the land.’"

15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped. 18 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahweh’s command, and didn’t travel. 20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. 21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled. 22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled. 23 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh’s command, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

Te Kapenga Tuarua

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi i te koraha o Hinai, i te rua o ngā tau o tō rātou haerenga mai i te whenua o Īhipa, i te tahi o ngā marama, i mea, 2 "Me mahi anō te Kapenga e ngā tama a Īharaira i tōna wā anō. 3 Me mahi i te tekau mā whā o ngā rā o tēnei marama, i te ahiahi, i tōna wā anō; kia rite ki ōna tikanga katoa, ki ōna ritenga katoa, tā koutou meatanga."

4 Nā, ka kōrero a Mohi ki ngā tama a Īharaira kia mahia te Kapenga. 5 Ā, ka mahia e rātou te Kapenga i te tekau mā whā o ngā rā o te marama tuatahi, i te ahiahi, i te koraha o Hinai; rite tonu ki ngā mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowā ki a Mohi tā ngā tama a Īharaira i mea ai.

6 Nā, tērā ētahi tāngata i poke i te tūpāpaku, i kore ai e āhei te mahi i te Kapenga i taua rā. Nā, ka haere rātou ki te aroaro o Mohi rāua ko Ārona i taua rā; 7 ā, ka mea aua tāngata ki a ia, "Kua poke mātou i te tūpāpaku; he aha mātou tē tukua ai ki te whakahere i te whakahere mā Ihowā i tōna wā i rite ai, i roto i ngā tama a Īharaira?"

8 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a rātou, "E tū koutou, ā, me whakarongo atu ahau ki tā Ihowā e whakahau ai mō koutou."

9 Ā, i kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 10 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu: Ki te poke i te tūpāpaku tētahi o koutou, o ō koutou uri rānei, ki te mea rānei kei tawhiti e haere ana, me mahi anō e ia te Kapenga ki a Ihowā. 11 Me mahi e rātou i te rua o ngā marama, i te tekau mā whā o ngā rā, i te ahiahi, me kīnaki ki te taro rēwenakore, ki ngā pūwhā kawa. 12 Kaua tētahi wāhi o tēnā mea e whakatoea e rātou mō te ata, kaua anō hoki e whatia tētahi o ōna wheua; kia rite ki ngā tikanga katoa o te Kapenga tā rātou mahinga i tēnā mahi.

13 "Ko te tangata ia kāhore ōna poke, ā, kāhore anō i te haere, ā, e māngere ana ki te mahi i te Kapenga, inā, ka hātepea atu taua wairua i roto i tōna iwi; kāhore nei hoki i kawea e ia te whakahere mā Ihowā i tōna wā i rite ai, ka waha e taua tangata tōna hara.

14 "Ā, ki te noho he manene i roto i a koutou, ā, ka mea ki te mahi i te Kapenga ki a Ihowā; kia rite ki ngā tikanga o te Kapenga, ki ngā ritenga anō o taua mahi, tāna e mea ai. Kia kotahi anō tā koutou tikanga mō te manene rāua ko te tangata whenua."

Te Kapua me te Ahi

15 Ā, i te rā i whakaarahia ai te tapenākara, ka taupokina te tapenākara e te kapua, arā te tēneti o te whakaaturanga; ā, i te ahiahi i rite a runga o te tapenākara ki te āhua ahi, taea noatia te ata. 16 I pērā tonu: i taupokina e te kapua i te awatea, e te āhua ahi hoki i te pō. 17 Ka riro ake hoki te kapua i runga i te tapenākara, nā, muri iho, ka haere ngā tama a Īharaira; ā, i te wāhi i tau ai te kapua ka whakatūria e ngā tama a Īharaira ō rātou tēneti ki reira. 18 Nā, ko ngā haerenga o ngā tama a Īharaira nā te whakahau a Ihowā, ā, ko ō rātou nohoanga iho nā te whakahau anō a Ihowā. I noho anō rātou i ngā rā katoa i tau ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenākara. 19 Ā, ka maha ngā rā i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenākara, nā, ka rite i ngā tama a Īharaira tā Ihowā i whakarite ai, ā, kīhai i haere. 20 Ā, he wā anō i torutoru ngā rā o te kapua ki runga ki te tapenākara; heoi nā te whakahau a Ihowā ka noho rātou i ō rātou tēneti, ā, nā te whakahau anō a Ihowā ka haere rātou. 21 Ā, i ētahi wā i tūturu te kapua i te ahiahi taea noatia te ata; ā, ka riro ake te kapua i te ata, nā, ka haere rātou. Ahakoa he ao, he pō rānei, i riro ake ai te kapua, i haere anō rātou. 22 Ahakoa e rua ngā rā, kotahi marama rānei, kotahi tau rānei, i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenākara, i mau ai ki reira, nā, noho ā-puni tonu iho ngā tama a Īharaira, kāhore hoki i haere; tōna rironga ake ki runga, nā, ka haere rātou. 23 Nā te whakahau a Ihowā tā rātou noho, nā te whakahau hoki a Ihowā tā rātou haere. I rite i a rātou tā Ihowā i whakarite ai, tā Ihowā i whakahau ai, i kōrerotia ai e Mohi.
