Numbers 9

1 And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

以色列人出埃及地以后，第二年正月，耶和华在西奈的旷野吩咐摩西说：

2 Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

“以色列人应当在所定的日期守逾越节，

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

就是本月十四日黄昏的时候，你们要在所定的日期守这节，要按这节的律例典章而守。”

4 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

于是摩西吩咐以色列人守逾越节。

5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

他们就在西奈的旷野，正月十四日黄昏的时候，守逾越节。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的，以色列人都照样行了。

6 And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

有几个人因死尸而不洁净，不能在那日守逾越节。当日他们到摩西、亚伦面前，

7 And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

说：“我们虽因死尸而不洁净，为何被阻止、不得同以色列人在所定的日期献耶和华的供物呢？”

8 And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

摩西对他们说：“你们暂且等候，我可以去听耶和华指着你们是怎样吩咐的。”

9 And the Lord said to Moses,

耶和华对摩西说：

10 Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

“你晓谕以色列人说：你们和你们后代中，若有人因死尸而不洁净，或在远方行路，还要向耶和华守逾越节。

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

他们要在二月十四日黄昏的时候，守逾越节。要用无酵饼与苦菜，和逾越节的羊羔同吃。

12 Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

一点不可留到早晨；羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。他们要照逾越节的一切律例而守。

13 But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

那洁净而不行路的人若推辞不守逾越节，那人要从民中剪除；因为他在所定的日期不献耶和华的供物，应该担当他的罪。

14 And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

若有外人寄居在你们中间，愿意向耶和华守逾越节，他要照逾越节的律例典章行，不管是寄居的是本地人，同归一例。”

15 And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

立起帐幕的那日，有云彩遮盖帐幕，就是法柜的帐幕；从晚上到早晨，云彩在其上，形状如火。

16 And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

常是这样，云彩遮盖帐幕，夜间形状如火。

17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

云彩几时从帐幕收上去，以色列人就几时起行；云彩在哪里停住，以色列人就在那里安营。

18 At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

以色列人遵耶和华的吩咐起行，也遵耶和华的吩咐安营。云彩在帐幕上停住几时，他们就住营几时。

19 When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

云彩在帐幕上停留许多日子，以色列人就守耶和华所吩咐的不起行。

20 Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

有时云彩在帐幕上几天，他们就照耶和华的吩咐住营，也照耶和华的吩咐起行。

21 And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

有时从晚上到早晨，有这云彩在帐幕上；早晨云彩收上去，他们就起行。有时昼夜云彩停在帐幕上，收上去的时候，他们就起行。

22 Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

云彩停留在帐幕上，无论是两天，是一月，是一年，以色列人就住营不起行；但云彩收上去，他们就起行。

23 At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.

他们遵耶和华的吩咐安营，也遵耶和华的吩咐起行。他们守耶和华所吩咐的，都是凭耶和华吩咐摩西的。
