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.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
9 Nang unang buwan ng ikalawang taon, mula nang inilabas ang mga Israelita sa Egipto, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises doon sa disyerto ng Sinai, 2 “Ipagdiriwang ng mga Israelita ang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel sa nakatakdang panahon. 3 Simula sa paglubog ng araw sa ika-14 na araw ng buwang ito, kailangang sundin ninyo ang lahat ng tuntunin tungkol sa pistang ito.”
4 Kaya sinabihan ni Moises ang mga Israelita na ipagdiwang ang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, 5 at sinunod nila ito roon sa disyerto ng Sinai nang lumubog ang araw nang ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan. Ginawa ito ng lahat ng mga Israelita ayon sa iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.
6 Pero may iba sa kanila na hindi nakapagdiwang ng Pistang ito dahil nang araw na iyon, itinuturing silang marumi dahil nakahipo sila ng patay. Kaya nang mismong araw na iyon, pumunta sila kina Moises at Aaron 7 at sinabi nila, “Naging marumi kami dahil nakahipo kami ng patay, pero bakit ba hindi kami pinapayagan sa pagdiriwang ng pistang ito at sa pag-aalay ng mga handog sa Panginoon kasama ng ibang mga Israelita sa naitakdang panahon?” 8 Sumagot si Moises sa kanila, “Maghintay muna kayo hanggang sa malaman ko kung ano ang iuutos ng Panginoon sa akin tungkol sa inyo.”
9 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 10 “Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na kahit sino sa kanila o sa kanilang mga lahi na naging marumi dahil sa paghipo ng patay o dahil bumiyahe siya sa malayo, makakapagdiwang pa rin siya ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel. 11 Ipagdiriwang nila ito pagkalipas ng isang buwan, simula sa paglubog ng araw sa ika-14 na araw ng ikalawang buwan. Kakain sila ng tupa kasama ng tinapay na walang pampaalsa at ng mapait na halaman. 12 Kailangang wala silang iiwanang pagkain kinaumagahan, at hindi rin nila babaliin ang mga buto ng tupa. Kung magdiriwang sila ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, kailangang sundin ang lahat ng mga tuntunin tungkol dito.
13 “Pero ang tao na hindi nagdiwang ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, kahit na itinuturing pa siyang malinis at hindi bumiyahe sa malayo, ang taong iyon ay huwag na ninyong ituring na kababayan, dahil hindi siya nag-alay ng handog para sa Panginoon sa nakatakdang panahon. Magdurusa siya sa kanyang kasalanan.
14 “Kung may dayuhan na naninirahang kasama ninyo na gustong makipagdiwang ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, kailangang ipagdiwang niya ito ayon sa lahat ng mga tuntunin nito. Magkapareho lang ang mga tuntunin para sa mga katutubong Israelita at sa mga dayuhan.”
Ang Ulap sa Toldang Tipanan(A)
15 Nang araw na ipinatayo ang Toldang Sambahan na tinatawag ding Toldang Tipanan, natakpan ito ng ulap. Ang ulap na ito ay nagliliwanag na parang apoy mula gabi hanggang umaga. 16 Ganito palagi ang nangyayari – ang ulap ay bumabalot sa Toldang Tipanan kung araw at nagliliwanag naman ito na parang apoy kung gabi. 17 Kapag pumapaitaas na ang ulap, umaalis na rin ang mga Israelita at nagpapatuloy sa kanilang paglalakbay, at kung saan tumitigil ang ulap, doon sila nagkakampo. 18 Kaya naglalakbay at nagkakampo ang mga Israelita ayon sa utos ng Panginoon. Hindi sila naglalakbay habang nasa ibabaw pa ng Tolda ang ulap. 19 Kahit magtagal ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Tolda, naghihintay lang sila sa utos ng Panginoon at hindi sila umaalis. 20 Kung minsan, mga ilang araw lang ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Tolda, kaya nananatili rin doon ang mga tao ng ilang araw. Pagkatapos, aalis ulit sila ayon sa utos ng Panginoon. 21 Kung minsan namaʼy nananatili lang ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Tolda ng isang gabi at pumapaitaas na ito kinaumagahan, at nagpapatuloy sila sa paglalakbay. Araw man o gabi, naglalakbay ang mga Israelita sa tuwing pumapaitaas ang ulap. 22 Kung nananatili ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Tolda ng dalawang araw o isang buwan o isang taon, ganoon din katagal nananatili ang mga Israelita sa kanilang kampo. 23 Kaya nagkakampo at naglalakbay ang mga Israelita ayon sa utos ng Panginoon. At sinunod nila ang mga utos ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Moises.
