Ang Pagdiriwang sa Paskwa
9 Nang(A) unang buwan ng ikalawang taon mula nang umalis sa Egipto ang mga Israelita, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises sa Bundok ng Sinai, 2 “Iutos mo sa buong Israel na ipagdiwang ang Pista ng Paskwa sa takdang panahon, 3 paglubog ng araw sa ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan ayon sa mga tuntunin tungkol dito.” 4 Gayon nga ang ginawa ni Moises. 5 Ipinagdiwang nga nila ang Pista ng Paskwa sa ilang ng Sinai noong gabi ng ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan.
6 Noon ay may ilang taong nakahawak ng patay, kaya't ang mga ito'y itinuring na marumi ayon sa Kautusan at hindi maaaring sumali sa pagdiriwang ng Pista ng Paskwa. Dahil dito, lumapit sila kina Moises at Aaron. 7 Sinabi nila, “Totoo ngang kami'y marumi ayon sa Kautusan sapagkat kami'y nakahawak ng patay. Subalit dapat bang kami'y pagbawalang mag-alay ng handog kay Yahweh kasama ng mga Israelita?”
8 “Maghintay kayo kung ano ang sasabihin sa akin ni Yahweh tungkol sa inyo,” sagot ni Moises.
9 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 10 “Ganito ang sabihin mo sa buong Israel: Sinuman sa mga kamag-anak ninyo na itinuturing na marumi dahil nakahawak ng bangkay, o kababayan ninyong naglalakbay at nasa ibang bayan, ay maaari pa ring magdiwang ng Pista ng Paskwa. 11 Gaganapin nila ito sa kinagabihan ng ika-14 na araw ng ikalawang buwan. Sa gabing iyon, kakain din sila ng korderong pampaskwa, tinapay na walang pampaalsa, at mapait na gulay. 12 Huwag(B) din silang magtitira kahit kapiraso ng korderong pampaskwa at huwag din nilang babaliin kahit isang buto niyon. Sa pagdiriwang nila sa Paskwa, susundin nila ang lahat ng tuntunin ukol dito. 13 Ang sinumang malinis at hindi naglalakbay na hindi sumali sa pagdiriwang ng Pista ng Paskwa ay ititiwalag sa sambayanan, sapagkat hindi siya naghandog kay Yahweh sa takdang panahon. Siya ay paparusahan.
14 “Ang dayuhang nakikipamayan sa inyo ay maaaring sumama sa pagdiriwang ng Pista ng Paskwa kung susundin niya ang mga tuntunin tungkol dito. Iisa ang tuntunin ng Paskwa, maging para sa mga Israelita o sa mga dayuhan.”
Natakpan ng Ulap ang Toldang Tipanan(C)
15 Nang maitayo na ang tabernakulo, ito ay natakpan ng ulap. Kung gabi, nagliliwanag itong parang apoy. 16 Ganoon ang palaging nangyayari. Ang Toldang Tipanan ay natatakpan ng ulap kung araw at ang ulap ay nagliliwanag na parang apoy kung gabi. 17 Tuwing aalis ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Toldang Tipanan, ang mga Israelita'y nagpapatuloy ng kanilang paglalakbay. Kung saan ito tumigil, doon sila nagkakampo. 18 Nagpapatuloy sila o tumitigil sa paglalakbay ayon sa palatandaang ito ni Yahweh. Hindi sila lumalakad habang nasa ibabaw pa ng tabernakulo ang ulap. 19 Hindi sila lumalakad kahit na magtagal pa ang ulap sa ibabaw ng tabernakulo. Hinihintay nila ang hudyat ni Yahweh. 20 Kung minsan, ang ulap ay ilang araw na nasa ibabaw ng tabernakulo. Ayon sa kalooban ni Yahweh, sila'y nanatili sa kampo, at ayon din sa kalooban ni Yahweh, sila'y nagpapatuloy sa paglalakbay. 21 Kung minsan, isang gabi lamang ito sa ibabaw ng Toldang Tipanan, at kung minsan nama'y maghapon at magdamag. Kapag pumapaitaas ang ulap, sila'y nagpapatuloy. 22 Kahit tumagal pa ito nang dalawang araw, isang buwan o mahigit pa, hindi sila lumalakad. Nagpapatuloy lamang sila kung pumaitaas na ang ulap sa ibabaw ng tabernakulo. 23 Nagpapatuloy nga sila o tumitigil sa paglalakbay ayon sa palatandaang ibinibigay ni Yahweh.
Numbers 9
New King James Version
The Second Passover(A)
9 Now 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: 2 “Let the children of Israel keep (B)the Passover at its appointed (C)time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, [a]at twilight, you shall [b]keep it at its appointed time. According to all its [c]rites and ceremonies you shall keep it.” 4 So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5 And (D)they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 Now there were certain men who were (E)defiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; (F)and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. 7 And those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”
8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that (G)I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your [d]posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. 11 On (H)the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall (I)eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 (J)They shall leave none of it until morning, (K)nor break one of its bones. (L)According to all the [e]ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person (M)shall be cut off from among his people, because he (N)did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall (O)bear his sin.
14 ‘And if a stranger [f]dwells among you, and would keep the Lord’s Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; (P)you shall have one [g]ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”
The Cloud and the Fire(Q)
15 Now (R)on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud (S)covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; (T)from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud (U)was [h]taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would pitch their tents. 18 At the [i]command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey, and at the command of the Lord they would camp; (V)as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (W)kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey. 20 So it was, when the cloud was above the tabernacle a few days: according to the command of the Lord they would remain encamped, and according to the command of the Lord they would journey. 21 So it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning: when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they would journey; whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (X)would remain encamped and not journey; but when it was taken up, they would journey. 23 At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed; they (Y)kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
