Numbers 9

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina ʻo hono ua taʻu hili ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,

2 Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.

“Tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kenau fai foki ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa.

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it.

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe māhina ni, ʻi he efiafi, te mou fai ia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo kotofa: ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea te mou fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē.”

4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kenau fai ʻae Lakaatu.

5 And they kept the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sainai: ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe fai pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

6 And there were certain men, who were unclean by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata niʻihi, naʻa nau taʻemaʻa ʻi he sino mate ʻo ha tangata, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻaho ko ia:

7 and those men said unto him, We are unclean by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?

Pea naʻe lea pehē ʻae kau tangata ko ia kiate ia, “ʻOku mau ʻuli ʻi he sino mate ʻoe tangata: ko e hā kuo taʻofi ai ʻakimautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mau ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi hono kuonga kuo kotofa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?”

8 And Moses said unto them, Stay ye; that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Mou tatali, kaeʻoua ke u fanongo pe ko e hā ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu.”

9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD:

Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē, “Kapau ʻe taʻemaʻa ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu pe ʻi homou hako koeʻuhi ko e sino mate, pea mo ia ʻoku fononga mamaʻo, ʻe fai pe ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova.

11 in the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:

‌ʻI hono ʻaho hongofulu ma fā ʻo hono ua māhina ʻi he efiafi tenau fai ia, pea ʻe kai fakataha ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani mo e ngaahi ʻakau kona.

12 they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.

‌ʻE ʻikai tenau tuku hono toe ki he ʻapongipongi, pe fesiʻi ha hui ʻi ai: tenau fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu.

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people: because he offered not the oblation of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Ka ko e tangata ʻoku maʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai fononga mamaʻo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻe ia ʻae laka-atu, ko e tangata ko ia ʻe tuʻusi mei hono kakai: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻaho kuo kotofa; ʻe fua ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻa ʻene angahala.

14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the stranger, and for him that is born in the land.

“Pea kapau ʻe ʻāunofo ha muli ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova; ʻe fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu, pea fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻe pehē ʻene fai: ko e fekau pe taha te mou maʻu ki he muli, pea mo ia ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he fonua.”

15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae fale fehikitaki naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni: pea naʻe ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he efiafi ʻae meʻa ʻo hangē ko e afi, ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi.

16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

Naʻe pehē maʻuaipē: naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pea hangē ko e afi ʻi he pō.

17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped.

Pea ʻoka toʻo hake ʻae ʻao mei he fale fehikitaki, hili ia, naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ko e potu naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae ʻao, ko ia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ai honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped.

Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea nau nofo ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻo hangē ko hono fuoloa ʻoe nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki.

19 And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

Pea ka tatali fuoloa ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻaho lahi, naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he tauhi ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fononga.

20 And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he nofo ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi; ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova naʻa nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Sihova.

21 And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or [if it continued] by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

Pea naʻe pehē, ka tuʻu ʻae ʻao mei he efiafi ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi, pea toki toʻo hake ʻae ʻao ʻi he pongipongi, naʻa nau fononga: ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō kuo toʻo hake ai ʻae ʻao naʻa nau fononga.

22 Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

Pea kapau ko e ʻaho ʻe ua, pe taha māhina, pe taha taʻu, mo e tuʻu ʻae ʻao ʻi he funga fale fehikitaki, ʻo tuʻumaʻu ai, naʻe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ʻapitanga, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fononga: pea ʻi hono toʻo hake ia naʻa nau fononga.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Pea naʻa nau mālōlō ʻi honau ʻapitanga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova: naʻa nau fai ki he pule ʻa Sihova, ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
