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.

Beibl William Morgan
9 A’r Arglwydd a lefarodd wrth Moses yn anialwch Sinai, yn yr ail flwyddyn wedi eu dyfod hwynt allan o dir yr Aifft, ar y mis cyntaf, gan ddywedyd, 2 Cadwed meibion Israel y Pasg hefyd yn ei dymor. 3 Ar y pedwerydd dydd ar ddeg o’r mis hwn, yn y cyfnos, y cedwch ef yn ei dymor: yn ôl ei holl ddeddfau, ac yn ôl ei holl ddefodau, y cedwch ef. 4 A llefarodd Moses wrth feibion Israel am gadw y Pasg. 5 A chadwasant y Pasg ar y mis cyntaf, ar y pedwerydd dydd ar ddeg o’r mis, yn y cyfnos, yn anialwch Sinai: yn ôl yr hyn oll a orchmynasai yr Arglwydd wrth Moses, felly y gwnaeth meibion Israel.
6 Ac yr oedd dynion, y rhai oedd wedi eu halogi wrth gelain dyn, fel na allent gadw y Pasg ar y dydd hwnnw: a hwy a ddaethant gerbron Moses, a cherbron Aaron, ar y dydd hwnnw. 7 A’r dynion hynny a ddywedasant wrtho, Yr ydym ni wedi ein halogi wrth gorff dyn marw: paham y’n gwaherddir rhag offrymu offrwm i’r Arglwydd yn ei dymor ymysg meibion Israel? 8 A dywedodd Moses wrthynt, Sefwch, a mi a wrandawaf beth a orchmynno’r Arglwydd o’ch plegid.
9 A’r Arglwydd a lefarodd wrth Moses, gan ddywedyd, 10 Llefara wrth feibion Israel, gan ddywedyd, Pan fyddo neb wedi ei halogi gan gorff marw, neu neb ohonoch neu o’ch hiliogaeth mewn ffordd bell, eto cadwed Basg i’r Arglwydd. 11 Ar y pedwerydd dydd ar ddeg o’r ail fis. yn y cyfnos, y cadwant ef: ynghyd â bara croyw a dail chwerwon y bwytânt ef. 12 Na weddillant ddim ohono hyd y bore, ac na thorrant asgwrn ohono: yn ôl holl ddeddf y Pasg y cadwant ef. 13 A’r gŵr a fyddo glân, ac heb fod mewn taith, ac a beidio â chadw y Pasg, torrir ymaith yr enaid hwnnw o fysg ei bobl, am na offrymodd offrwm yr Arglwydd yn ei dymor: ei bechod a ddwg y gŵr hwnnw. 14 A phan ymdeithio dieithr gyda chwi, ac ewyllysio cadw Pasg i’r Arglwydd; fel y byddo deddf y Pasg a’i ddefod, felly y ceidw: yr un ddeddf fydd i chwi, sef i’r dieithr ac i’r un fydd â’i enedigaeth o’r wlad.
15 Ac ar y dydd y codwyd y tabernacl, y cwmwl a gaeodd am y tabernacl dros babell y dystiolaeth; a’r hwyr yr ydoedd ar y tabernacl megis gwelediad tân hyd y bore. 16 Felly yr ydoedd yn wastadol; y cwmwl a gaeai amdano y dydd, a’r gwelediad tân y nos. 17 A phan gyfodai’r cwmwl oddi ar y babell, wedi hynny y cychwynnai meibion Israel: ac yn y lle yr arhosai y cwmwl ynddo, yno y gwersyllai meibion Israel. 18 Wrth orchymyn yr Arglwydd y cychwynnai meibion Israel, ac wrth orchymyn yr Arglwydd y gwersyllent: yr holl ddyddiau yr arhosai y cwmwl ar y tabernacl, yr arhosent yn y gwersyll. 19 A phan drigai y cwmwl yn hir ar y tabernacl lawer o ddyddiau, yna meibion Israel a gadwent wyliadwriaeth yr Arglwydd, ac ni chychwynnent. 20 Ac os byddai’r cwmwl ychydig ddyddiau ar y tabernacl, wrth orchymyn yr Arglwydd y gwersyllent, ac wrth orchymyn yr Arglwydd y cychwynnent. 21 Hefyd os byddai’r cwmwl o hwyr hyd fore, a chyfodi o’r cwmwl y bore, hwythau a symudent: pa un bynnag ai dydd ai nos fyddai pan gyfodai’r cwmwl, yna y cychwynnent. 22 Os deuddydd, os mis, os blwyddyn fyddai, tra y trigai’r cwmwl ar y tabernacl, gan aros arno, meibion Israel a arhosent yn eu pebyll, ac ni chychwynnent: ond pan godai efe, y cychwynnent. 23 Wrth air yr Arglwydd y gwersyllent, ac wrth air yr Arglwydd y cychwynnent: felly y cadwent wyliadwriaeth yr Arglwydd, yn ôl gair yr Arglwydd trwy law Moses.
