< 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:
Nake Jehova akĩarĩria Musa kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai mweri-inĩ wa mbere wa mwaka wa keerĩ thuutha wa andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
2 “Let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its proper time,
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũngũyagĩre Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo.
3 on the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, according to all of its ceremonies and justifications.”
Kũngũyagĩrai gĩathĩ kĩu ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo, hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri ũyũ, kũringana na mawatho makĩo mothe na mũtabarĩre wakĩo.”
4 And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, so that they would observe the Passover.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũngũĩre Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka.
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.
Nao magĩĩka o ro ũguo kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Sinai hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa mbere. Andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka maũndũ mothe o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
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,
No amwe ao matingĩakũngũĩire Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka mũthenya ũcio nĩ ũndũ nĩmagwatĩtwo nĩ thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba kĩa mũndũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩũka kũrĩ Musa na Harũni mũthenya o ro ũcio
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?”
makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tũnyiitĩtwo nĩ thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba kĩa mũndũ, no nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma tũgirio kũneana indo cia kũrutĩra Jehova tũrĩ hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo?”
8 And Moses responded to them: “Remain, so that I may consult the Lord, as to what he will rule about you.”
Musa akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Etererai nyambe nduĩrie ũhoro wa ũrĩa Jehova egwathana ũhoro wanyu.”
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova agĩcooka akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mũndũ wanyu o na ũrĩkũ kana njiaro cianyu marĩ na thaahu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhutania na kĩimba kĩa mũndũ, kana akorwo arĩ rũgendo-inĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio o nake no akũngũĩre Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka ya Jehova.
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.
Marĩkũngũyagĩra gĩathĩ kĩu hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa keerĩ. Marĩrĩĩaga gatũrũme na mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia na nyeni ndũrũ.
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.
Matikanatigie gacunjĩ o na kamwe karaare nginya rũciinĩ kana moine ihĩndĩ rĩako o na rĩmwe. Rĩrĩa megũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka ĩyo no nginya marũmagĩrĩre mũtabarĩre wakĩo wothe.
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.
No mũndũ angĩkorwo ndarĩ na thaahu, na ndathiĩte rũgendo, na aage gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka, mũndũ ũcio nĩakaingatwo athengio kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao, nĩ ũndũ ndaareheire Jehova indo iria arutagĩrwo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo. Mũndũ ũcio nĩagacookererwo nĩ mehia make mwene.
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.”
“‘Mũgeni ũikaranĩtie na inyuĩ na ende gũkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ-kĩa-Bathaka ya Jehova-rĩ, no nginya eke ũguo kũringana na watho na mũtabarĩre wakĩo. No nginya mũgĩage na mĩtabarĩre ya mũthemba ũmwe kũrĩ mũgeni na kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩirwo bũrũri wanyu.’”
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.
Mũthenya ũrĩa Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre, o Hema-ĩyo-ya-Ũira yaambirwo-rĩ, itu rĩkĩmĩhumbĩra. Kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ nginya rũciinĩ itu rĩu rĩarĩ igũrũ rĩa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre na itu rĩu rĩkoonagwo rĩhaana ta mwaki.
16 This was so continually: throughout the day a cloud covered it, and throughout the night, the appearance of fire.
Ũguo nĩguo gwathiire na mbere gũikara; itu rĩkamĩhumbĩra ũtukũ na rĩkoonagwo rĩhaana ta mwaki.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe itu rĩu rĩeheraga kuuma harĩ hema ĩyo, andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara magathiĩ; na rĩrĩ, itu rĩu rĩarũgamĩra handũ, andũ a Isiraeli makaamba hema ciao ho.
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.
Jehova aathana-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makoimagara magathiĩ, na aathana rĩngĩ makaamba hema ciao. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe itu rĩu rĩaikara igũrũ rĩa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre, maikaraga o hau kambĩ.
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,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa itu rĩaikara igũrũ rĩa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre kahinda karaaya-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli magaathĩkĩra Jehova na makaaga kuumagara.
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.
Mahinda mamwe itu rĩu rĩaikaraga igũrũ rĩa Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre o matukũ manini; no Jehova aathana makaamba hema, na ningĩ aathana, makoimagara magathiĩ.
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.
Mahinda mamwe itu rĩu rĩaikaraga o kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ nginya rũciinĩ, na itu rĩehera rũciinĩ-rĩ, makoimagara magathiĩ. Kana nĩ mũthenya kana nĩ ũtukũ, hĩndĩ o yothe itu rĩu rĩehera nao makoimagara magathiĩ.
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.
Itu rĩu rĩngĩaikarire igũrũ rĩa hema ĩyo mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ, kana mweri, kana mwaka, andũ a Isiraeli maikaraga kũu kambĩ, na matingĩoimagarire mathiĩ, no itu rĩu rĩehera makoimagara magathiĩ.
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.
Jehova aathana makaamba hema, na ningĩ Jehova aathana makoimagara magathiĩ. Maathĩkagĩra watho wa Jehova kũringana na ũrĩa aathaga Musa.
