Numbers 9
1 One year after the Israelis left Egypt, during the month of March, while they were in the Sinai Desert, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i te koraha o Hinai, i te rua o nga tau o to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te tahi o nga marama, i mea,
2 “Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
Me mahi ano te kapenga e nga tama a Iharaira i tona wa ano.
3 They must do it on the fourteenth day of this month, early in the evening, and they must obey all the instructions about it [that I gave you previously].”
Me mahi i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o tenei marama, i te ahiahi, i tona wa ano: kia rite ki ona tikanga katoa, ki ona ritenga katoa, ta koutou meatanga.
4 So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating the Passover.
Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira kia mahia te kapenga.
5 The people celebrated it, there in the Sinai Desert, in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
A ka mahia e ratou te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama tuatahi, i te ahiahi, i te koraha o Hinai: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.
6 But some of the Israeli people had touched a corpse, and as a result they had become unfit to celebrate the Passover. So they asked Aaron and Moses/me,
Na tera etahi tangata i poke i te tupapaku, i kore ai e ahei te mahi i te kapenga i taua ra: na ka haere ratou ki te aroaro o Mohi raua ko Arona i taua ra;
7 “It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else [RHQ]?”
A ka mea aua tangata ki a ia, Kua poke matou i te tupapaku: he aha matou te tukua ai ki te whakahere i te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, i roto i nga tama a Iharaira?
8 Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, E tu koutou, a me whakarongo atu ahau ki to Ihowa e whakahau ai mo koutou.
9 [So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: If any of you or your descendants touch a corpse and as a result become unacceptable to me, or if you are away from home on a long trip [at the time to celebrate the Passover], you will still be permitted to celebrate it.
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te poke i te tupapaku tetahi o koutou, o o koutou uri ranei, ki te mea ranei kei tawhiti e haere ana, me mahi ano e ia te kapenga ki a Ihowa.
11 But you must celebrate it exactly one month later, early in the evening of the fourteenth day of that month. Eat the meat of the lamb for the Passover Festival with bread that is baked without yeast and eat bitter herbs.
Me mahi e ratou i te rua o nga marama, i te tekau ma wha o nga ra, i te ahiahi, me kinaki ki te taro rewenakore, ki nga puwha kawa:
12 Do not leave any of it until the next morning. And do not break any of the lamb’s bones. Obey all the regulations about celebrating the Passover.
Kaua tetahi wahi o tena mea e whakatoea e ratou mo te ata, kaua ano hoki e whatiia tetahi o ona wheua; kia rite ki nga tikanga katoa o te kapenga ta ratou mahinga i tena mahi.
13 But if any of you has not done anything that would make you unfit to celebrate the Passover Festival, and you are not away from home on a long trip, and you do not sacrifice to me at the proper time, you will no longer be allowed to associate with my people. (You will be punished/I will punish you).
Ko te tangata ia kahore ona poke, a kahore ano i te haere, a e mangere ana ki te mahi i te kapenga, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi: kahore nei hoki i kawea e ia te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, ka waha e taua tangata tona hara.
14 Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
A ki te noho he manene i roto i a koutou, a ka mea ki te mahi i te kapenga ki a Ihowa; kia rite ki nga tikanga o te kapenga, ki nga ritenga ano o taua mahi, tana e mea ai: kia kotahi ano ta koutou tikanga mo te manene raua ko te tangata whenua.
15 On the day that the Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose [the next day], the cloud resembled a [huge] fire. And that is what happened every day [that we/the Israelis were in the desert].
A i te ra i whakaarahia ai te tapenakara, ka taupokina te tapenakara e te kapua, ara te teneti o te whakaaturanga: a i te ahiahi i rite a runga o te tapenakara ki te ahua ahi, taea noatia te ata.
I pera tonu: i taupokina e te kapua i te awatea, e te ahua ahi hoki i te po.
17 When the cloud rose up and started to move [to a new location], we/they followed it. When the cloud stopped, we/the Israelis stopped there and set up their tents.
Ka riro ake hoki te kapua i runga i te tapenakara, na, muri iho, ka haere nga tama a Iharaira: a i te wahi i tau ai te kapua ka whakaturia e nga tama a Iharaira o ratou teneti ki reira.
18 We/They traveled when Yahweh, [by causing the cloud to move or stop], signaled to us/them when to move and when to stop. When the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent, we/the Israelis stayed at that place.
Na ko nga haerenga o nga tama a Iharaira na te whakahau a Ihowa, a ko o ratou nohoanga iho na te whakahau ano a Ihowa: i noho ano ratou i nga ra katoa i tau ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara.
19 Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
A ka maha nga ra i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, na ka rite i nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, a kihai i haere.
20 Sometimes the cloud remained over the tent for only a few days. We/The people stopped and set up our/their tents as Yahweh commanded us/them, and we/they traveled [to a new location] when Yahweh commanded us/them to do that.
A he wa ano i torutoru nga ra o te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara; heoi na te whakahau a Ihowa ka noho ratou i o ratou teneti, a na te whakahau ano a Ihowa ka haere ratou.
21 Sometimes the cloud stayed in one place for only one day. When that happened, when the cloud rose up [into the sky] the next morning, then we/they traveled. Whenever the cloud moved, during the day or during the night, we/they traveled.
A i etahi wa i tuturu te kapua i te ahiahi taea noatia te ata; a ka riro ake te kapua i te ata, na ka haere ratou: ahakoa he ao, he po ranei, i riro ake ai te kapua, i haere ano ratou.
22 If the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent for two days, or for a month, or for a year, during that time we/they stayed where we/they were. But when the cloud rose up [into the sky], we/they started to travel.
Ahakoa e rua nga ra, kotahi marama ranei, kotahi tau ranei, i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, i mau ai ki reira, na noho a puni tonu iho nga tama a Iharaira, kahore hoki i haere: tona rironga ake ki runga, na ka haere ratou.
23 When Yahweh commanded us/them to [stop and] set up our/their tents, we/they did that. When he told us/them to move, we/they moved. We/They did whatever Yahweh told Moses/me that we/they should do.
Na te whakahau a Ihowa ta ratou noho, na te whakahau hoki a Ihowa ta ratou haere: i rite i a ratou ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, i korerotia ai e Mohi.
