Numbers 9

1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year after they departed from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:

Izip prae hoi tacawt o pacoeng, saning hnetto haih, khrah hmaloe koek naah, Sinai praezaek ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

2 “Let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its proper time,

atue phak naah Israel kaminawk misong loihaih ni to uumsak ah.

3 on the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, according to all of its ceremonies and justifications.”

Sakhaih atawk baktih, sakhaih daan baktih toengah, hae khrah hatlai palito, duembang phak naah loe, uumhaih poih to sah oh, tiah a naa.

4 And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, so that they would observe the Passover.

To pongah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah, misong loihaih poih to sak o hanah a thuih pae.

5 And they observed it at its proper time: on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, at mount Sinai. The sons of Israel acted according to all the things that the Lord had commanded Moses.

To pongah khrah tangsuek, ni hatlai palito naah, Sinai praezaek ah misong loihaih poih to a sak o; Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah sak o.

6 But behold, certain ones, who were not able to observe the Passover on that day, being unclean because of the life of a man, approaching Moses and Aaron,

Toe kadueh kami pongah kaciim ai thoemto kaminawk loe, misong loihaih poih to sah o thai ai pongah, Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah angzoh o moe,

7 said to them: “We are unclean because of the life of a man. Why have we been cheated, in that we are not permitted to offer, at its proper time, the oblation to the Lord among the sons of Israel?”

Mosi khaeah, Kadueh kami pongah kaicae loe ka ciim o ai boeh; tipongah atue phak naah kalah Israel kaminawk baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih nang sahsak ai loe? tiah a naa o.

8 And Moses responded to them: “Remain, so that I may consult the Lord, as to what he will rule about you.”

Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae kawng pongah Angraeng mah lok na paek ai karoek to, zing o raeh, tiah a naa.

9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

10 “Say to the sons of Israel: The man who becomes unclean because of a life, or if he is on a distant journey within your nation, let him observe the Passover to the Lord.

Israel kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae hoi na caanawk loe kadueh kami pongah ciimcai ai ah na oh o moe, kholong kangthla ah na caeh o cadoeh, misong loihaih poih to na sah o thai tih.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce.

Khrah hnetto haih, ni hatlai palito, duembang ah sah oh; nihcae mah tuucaa moi hoi aan kakhaa to taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoiah nawnto caak o han oh.

12 They shall not leave behind any of it until morning, and they shall not break a bone of it; they shall observe all the rituals of the Passover.

Moi to khawnbang khoek to amtlai o sak han om ai; ahuh to khaek ai ah, misong loihaih poih sakhaih atawk baktih toengah sak o han oh.

13 But if any man was both clean, and not on a journey, and yet he did not observe the Passover, that soul shall be exterminated from among his people, because he did not offer the sacrifice to the Lord in its time. He shall bear his sin.

Toe amhnonghaih om ai, kholong ah doeh caeh ai to mah, misong loihaih poih to sah ai kami loe, atue phak naah Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih sah ai pongah, anih to angmah ih kaminawk salak hoiah takhoe ving han oh; anih loe zaehaih atho to hnu tih.

14 Likewise, the sojourner and the newcomer, if they are among you, shall observe the Passover to the Lord according to its ceremonies and justifications. The same precept shall be with you, as much for the newcomer as for the native.”

Nangcae khaeah kaom angvin mah Angraeng hanah misong loihaih ni to uum han koeh nahaeloe, sak zong ih misong loihaih baktih, poih sakhaih atawk baktih toengah a sak han oh; prae kami hoi angvin hanah poih sakhaih dan kangvan ah sah paeh, tiah a naa.

15 And so, on the day when the tabernacle was raised, a cloud covered it. But over the tabernacle, from evening until morning, there was, as it seemed, the appearance of fire.

Kahni im sakhaih niah, hnukung ah kaom, kahni im to tamai mah khuk hmoek; duembang hoi akhawnbang khoek to kahni im ranui ah hmai baktiah amtueng.

16 This was so continually: throughout the day a cloud covered it, and throughout the night, the appearance of fire.

To tiah oh poe; athun ah tamai mah khuk moe, aqum ah hmai baktiah amtueng.

17 And when the cloud that was protecting the tabernacle had been taken up, then the sons of Israel advanced forward, and in the place where the cloud had remained standing, there they made camp.

Tamai mah kahni im to caehtaak naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o moe, tamai tabok naah, Israel kaminawk mah im to sak o.

18 Upon the order of the Lord they advanced, and upon his order they fixed the tabernacle. All the days during which the cloud was standing over the tabernacle, they remained in the same place.

Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah nihcae mah im to sak o; kahni im nuiah tamai oh nathung, nihcae loe angmacae ih kahni im ah anghak o.

19 And if it happened that it remained for a long time over it, the sons of Israel kept the night watches of the Lord, and they did not advance,

Kahni im nuiah atue kasawk ah tamai oh naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o ai, Angraeng mah paek ih lok to a zing o.

20 during as many days as the cloud remained over the tabernacle. At the command of the Lord they raised their tents, and at his command they took them down.

Kahni im nuiah atue setta thung tamai tabok naah loe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah anghak o; to pacoengah Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah kholong caeh o let.

21 If the cloud remained from evening until morning, and immediately, at first light, it left the tabernacle, they set out. And if it withdrew after a day and a night, they dismantled their tents.

Duembang hoi akhawnbang khoek to tamai tabok moe, akhawnbang ah tamai van bangah angkhong tahang naah, Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o; khodai ah doeh, khoving ah doeh, tamai angkhong tahang kruek, kholong a caeh o.

22 Yet truly, whether it remained over the tabernacle for two days, or one month, or a longer time, the sons of Israel remained in the same place, and they did not set out. Then, as soon as it withdrew, they moved the camp.

Kahni im nuiah ni hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe khrah to maw, to tih ai boeh loe saningto maw, tamai mah khuk nahaeloe, Israel kaminawk loe tamai oh nathung kholong caeh o mak ai, anghak o tih; toe tamai van ah angkhong tahang nahaeloe, nihcae mah kholong caeh amsak o tih.

23 By the word of the Lord they fixed their tents, and by his word they advanced. And they kept the night watches of the Lord, according to his command by the hand of Moses.

Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe im ah anghak o moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe kholong caeh amsak o; Angraeng mah Mosi ban ah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o.
