Numbers 9

1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

Egypt khohmuen lamloh a coe uh phoeikah a kum bae hla lamhma vaengah, BOEIPA loh Moses te Sinai khosoek ah a voek tih,

2 “Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.

Israel ca rhoek loh amah khoning vaengah Yoom te saii saeh.

3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”

Tahae hlasae kah hnin hlai li hlaem vaengah saii uh. Te te amah khotue vaengah a khosing cungkuem neh a tiktamnah cungkuem bangla saii uh,” a ti nah.

4 Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.

Te dongah Yoom saii ham te Moses loh Israel ca rhoek taengah a thui pah.

5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

Te dongah Yoom te lamhmacuek la hlasae hnin hlai li hlaem ah tah Sinai khosoek ah a saii uh. A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh van.

6 There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

Hlang hinglu lamloh rhalawt la aka om hlang rhoek khaw om. Te dongah te khohnin ah Yoom saii uh thai pawh. Tedae amah khohnin ah Moses mikhmuh neh Aaron mikhmuh la tawn uh.

7 Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?”

Te kah hlang rhoek loh a taengah, “Kaimih he hlang kah hinglu kongah ka rhalawt uh. Balae tih amah khoning vaengah Israel ca lakli ah BOEIPA kah nawnnah te khuen pawt ham n'hloh uh?” a ti uh.

8 Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”

Moses loh amih te, “Om uh lamtah BOEIPA loh nangmih ham ng'uen te ka hnatung dae eh,” a ti nah.

9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

10 “Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to the LORD.

“Israel ca rhoek te thui pah. Hlang pakhat he hinglu kongah rhalawt la a om vaengah khaw, khola longpueng ah khaw, namah neh na caldilcahma loh thui pah lamtah BOEIPA kah Yoom te saii saeh.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Te te a hla bae dongkah hnin hlai li hlaem ah saii uh saeh lamtah vaidamding te ankhaa neh hmaeh uh saeh.

12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.

Te te mincang hil paih uh boel saeh. A rhuh khaw paep sak uh boel saeh lamtah a cungkuem dongah Yoom kah khosing bangla saii uh saeh.

13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Tedae hlang te tuicil tih longpueng ah khaw om pawt dae Yoom saii ham a toeng atah a pilnam lamloh a hinglu thup pah kangna saeh. Amah khoning ah BOEIPA kah nawnnah te a khuen pawt dongah te kah hlang te amah tholhnah amah loh phuei saeh.

14 “‘If a foreigner lives among you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is born in the land.’”

Nangmih taengah yinlai bakuep mai cakhaw Yoom kah khosing neh a rhimong bangla BOEIPA kah Yoom te saii saeh. A saii vaengah a khosing te nangmih ham neh yinlai ham khaw, khohmuen mupoe ham khaw pakhat la om saeh,” a ti nah.

15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

Dungtlungim a thoh hnin ah cingmai loh dungtlungim kah laipainah dap te a khuk. Te vaengah hlaemhmah lamloh mincang hil dungtlungim dongah hmai kah mueimae bangla tueng.

16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

Cingmai loh phueih a khuk vaengah tah khoyin ah hmai kah a mueimae la tueng.

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

Cingmai te dap so lamloh nong ham ka a ong phoei daengah ni Israel ca rhoek khaw a hlah uh. Tedae cingmai duem nah hmuen ah Israel ca rhoek khaw pahoi rhaeh uh.

18 At the commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.

Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA kah olka dongah cet uh tih BOEIPA olka dongah rhaeh uh. Cingmai te dungtlungim soah a duem hnin boeih ah amih khaw rhaeh uh.

19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t travel.

Cingmai loh dungtlungim soah khohnin a yet a uelh vaengah tah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA kah a kuek te a ngaithuen uh tih cet uh voel pawh.

20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they traveled.

Cingmai te dungtlungim dongah khohnin kolkalh om cakhaw BOEIPA olka dongah rhaeh uh tih BOEIPA olka dongah cet uh.

21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.

Cingmai te hlaem lamloh mincang hil om tih mincang ah khaw cingmai te a thoeih daengah ni a caeh uh. Khothaih neh khoyin ah khaw cingmai a caeh vaengah cet uh van.

22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.

Khohnin neh hla neh kum neh dungtlungim soah cingmai te uelh. A soah a om vaengah tah Israel ca rhoek te rhaeh uh tih cet uh pawh. Tedae a thoeih daengah ni a caeh uh.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they traveled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

BOEIPA kah olka dongah rhaeh uh tih BOEIPA kah olka dongah cet uh. BOEIPA kah a kuek tah Moses kut dongkah BOEIPA olka te a ngaithuen uh.
