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:

SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan dezè Sinaï a, nan premye mwa nan dezyèm ane a lè yo te fin sòti nan Égypte la. Li te di:

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

“Alò, kite fis Israël yo obsève fèt Pak la nan lè ki apwente pou li a.

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

Nan katòzyèm jou nan mwa sa a, nan aswè avan li fènwa, nou va obsève li nan lè apwente a. Nou va obsève li avèk tout règleman e avèk tout òdonans li yo.”

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

Konsa, Moïse te pale ak fis Israël yo pou obsève Pak la.

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.

Yo te obsève Pak la nan premye mwa, nan katòzyèm jou a, nan aswè lè li fenk kòmanse fènwa, nan dezè Sinaï a. Selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse yo, se konsa fis Israël yo te fè.

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,

Men te gen kèk mesye ki pa t pwòp akoz yon mò. Akoz sa, yo pa t kab obsève Pak la nan jou sa a. Konsa yo te vin devan Moïse avèk Aaron nan jou sa a.

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?”

Mesye sa yo te di li: “Malgre nou pa pwòp akoz mò a, poukisa nou anpeche vin prezante ofrann SENYÈ a nan lè apwente pami fis Israël yo?”

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

Konsa, Moïse te reponn yo: “Tann, e mwen va koute sa ke SENYÈ a va kòmande pou nou menm.”

9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:

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.

“Pale avèk fis Israël yo pou di: ‘Si nenpòt nan nou, oswa nan desandan nou yo vin pa pwòp akoz yon mò, oswa se nan yon vwayaj, malgre sa, li kapab obsève Pak SENYÈ a.

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.

Nan dezyèm mwa a, sou katòzyèm jou a, nan aswè lè l fenk kòmanse fènwa, yo va obsève li. Yo va manje li avèk pen san ledven ak zèb anmè.

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.

Yo p ap kite anyen ladann pou rive nan maten, ni kase okenn zo ladann. Selon tout règleman a Pak la, yo va obsève li.

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.

Men mesye ki pwòp e ki pa nan yon vwayaj, ki malgre sa, neglije obsève Pak la, moun sa a va vin koupe retire de pèp li a. Paske li pa t prezante ofrann bay SENYÈ a nan lè chwazi a. Nonm sila a va pote peche li.

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.”

“‘Si yon etranje demere pami nou e li obsève Pak SENYÈ a, li gen pou fè l selon règleman a Pak la, ak selon òdonans li. Nou va genyen yon sèl règleman, ni pou etranje, ni pou natif peyi a.’”

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.

Alò, nan jou ke tabènak la te monte a, nwaj te vin kouvri tabènak la ak tant temwayaj la, e nan aswè, li te tankou aparans dife sou tabènak la, jis rive nan maten.

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

Se konsa li te ye tout tan. Nwaj te vin kouvri li nan lajounen, e aparans dife a nan lannwit.

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.

Nenpòt lè nwaj te leve sou tant lan, fis Israël yo te leve vwayaje. Nan plas kote nwaj la te vin poze a, se la fis Israël yo te kanpe fè kan an.

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.

Sou kòmand a SENYÈ a, fis Israël yo te pati, e sou kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te fè kan an. Tout tan ke nwaj la te poze sou tabènak la, yo te rete nan kan an.

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,

Menm lè nwaj la te fè reta sou tabènak la pandan anpil jou, fis Israël yo te kenbe lòd SENYÈ a. Yo pa t pati.

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.

Si, pafwa nwaj la te rete kèk jou sou tabènak la, selon kòmand SENYÈ a, yo te rete nan kan an. Epi selon kòmand SENYÈ a, yo te vin pati.

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.

Si, pafwa nwaj la te rete soti nan aswè pou jis rive nan maten, lè nwaj la te leve nan maten, yo te deplase; oswa, si li te rete nan lajounen ak lannwit, nenpòt lè ke nwaj la te leve a, yo te vin pati.

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.

Sof ke se te pou de jou, oswa yon mwa, oswa 1 nan ke nwaj la te mize sou tabènak la, depi li rete anwo li, fis Israël yo te rete nan kan an. Yo pa t pati. Men lè li te vin leve, yo te pati.

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.

Ak kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te fè kan an, e nan kòmand a SENYÈ a, yo te pati. Yo te kenbe lòd SENYÈ a selon kòmand SENYÈ a, selon Moïse.
