Ang Pagdiriwang sa Paskwa

Nang(A) unang buwan ng ikalawang taon mula nang umalis sa Egipto ang mga Israelita, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises sa Bundok ng Sinai, “Iutos mo sa buong Israel na ipagdiwang ang Pista ng Paskwa sa takdang panahon, paglubog ng araw sa ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan ayon sa mga tuntunin tungkol dito.” Gayon nga ang ginawa ni Moises. Ipinagdiwang nga nila ang Pista ng Paskwa sa ilang ng Sinai noong gabi ng ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan.

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. 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?”

“Maghintay kayo kung ano ang sasabihin sa akin ni Yahweh tungkol sa inyo,” sagot ni Moises.

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.

The Passover

Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in (A)the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, “Now the sons of Israel are to [a]celebrate the Passover at (B)its appointed time. On the fourteenth day of this month, [b]at twilight, you shall celebrate it at its appointed time; you shall celebrate it in accordance with all its statutes and all its ordinances.” So Moses [c]told the sons of Israel to celebrate the Passover. And (C)they celebrated the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; (D)in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did. But there were some men who were (E)unclean because of contact with a [d]dead person, so that they could not celebrate Passover on that day; and (F)they came before Moses and Aaron on that day. Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of a [e]dead person, why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?” Moses then said to them, “[f](G)Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.”

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead [g]person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to the Lord. 11 In the second month on the (H)fourteenth day at twilight, they shall celebrate it; they (I)shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They (J)shall not leave any of it until morning, (K)nor break a bone of it; they shall celebrate it in accordance with the whole statute of the Passover. 13 (L)But the person who is clean and is not on a journey, yet refrains from celebrating the Passover, that [h]person shall then be cut off from his people, because he did not present the offering of the Lord at its appointed time. That person (M)will bear the responsibility for his sin. 14 And (N)if a stranger resides among you and [i]celebrates the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and its ordinance, so he shall celebrate it; you shall have [j]the (O)same statute, both for the stranger and for the native of the land.’”

The Cloud on the Tabernacle

15 Now on (P)the day that the tabernacle was erected, (Q)the cloud covered the tabernacle, the (R)tent of the testimony, and (S)in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle until morning. 16 That is how it was continuously; (T)the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 (U)Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp. 18 At the [k]command of the Lord the sons of Israel would set out, and at the [l]command of the Lord they would camp; (V)as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped. 19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, [m]the sons of Israel would comply with the Lords ordinance and not set out. 20 If [n]sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, (W)in accordance with the [o]command of the Lord they remained camped. Then in accordance with the [p]command of the Lord they set out. 21 If [q]sometimes the cloud [r]remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning they would set out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but (X)when it was lifted, they did set out. 23 (Y)At the [s]command of the Lord they camped, and at the [t]command of the Lord they set out; they did what the Lord required, in accordance with the [u]command of the Lord through Moses.
