Numbers 9
1 One year after the Israelis left Egypt, during the month of March, while they were in the Sinai Desert, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
エジプトの國を出たる次の年の正月ヱホバ、シナイの野にてモーセに告ていひたまはく
2 “Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
イスラエルの子孫をして逾越節をその期におよびて行はしめよ
3 They must do it on the fourteenth day of this month, early in the evening, and they must obey all the instructions about it [that I gave you previously].”
其期即ち此月の十四日の晩にいたりて汝等これを行ふべし汝等これをおこなふにはその諸の條例とその諸の式法に循ふべきなり
4 So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating the Passover.
是においてモーセ、イスラエルの子孫に逾越節を行ふべき事を告たれば
5 The people celebrated it, there in the Sinai Desert, in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
彼等正月の十四日の晩にシナイの野にて逾越節を行へり即ちイスラエルの子孫はヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる所に盡く循ひてこれを爲ぬ
6 But some of the Israeli people had touched a corpse, and as a result they had become unfit to celebrate the Passover. So they asked Aaron and Moses/me,
時に人の死骸に身を汚して逾越節を行ふこと能ざる人々ありてその日にモーセとアロンの前にいたれり
7 “It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else [RHQ]?”
その人々すなはち彼に言ふ我等は人の死骸に身を汚したり然ば我らはその期におよびてイスラエルの子孫と偕にヱホバに禮物を献ることを得ざるべき乎
8 Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
モーセかれらに言けるは姑く待てヱホバ汝らの事を如何に宣ふかを聽ん
9 [So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: If any of you or your descendants touch a corpse and as a result become unacceptable to me, or if you are away from home on a long trip [at the time to celebrate the Passover], you will still be permitted to celebrate it.
イスラエルの子孫に告て言へ汝等または汝等の子孫の中死屍に身を汚したる人も遠き途にある人も皆逾越節をヱホバにむかひて行ふべきなり
11 But you must celebrate it exactly one month later, early in the evening of the fourteenth day of that month. Eat the meat of the lamb for the Passover Festival with bread that is baked without yeast and eat bitter herbs.
即ち二月の十四日の晩に之をおこなひ酵いれぬパンと苦菜をそへて之を食ふべし
12 Do not leave any of it until the next morning. And do not break any of the lamb’s bones. Obey all the regulations about celebrating the Passover.
朝までこれを少許も遺しおくべからず又その骨を一本も折べからず逾越節の諸の條例にしたがひて之を行ふべし
13 But if any of you has not done anything that would make you unfit to celebrate the Passover Festival, and you are not away from home on a long trip, and you do not sacrifice to me at the proper time, you will no longer be allowed to associate with my people. (You will be punished/I will punish you).
然ど人その身潔くありまた征途にもあらずして逾越節を行ふことをせざる時はその人民の中より斷れん斯る人はその期におよびてヱホバの禮物を持きたらざるが故にその罪を任べきなり
14 Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
他國の人もし汝らの中に寄寓をりて逾越節をヱホバにおこなはんとせば逾越節の條例に依りその法式にしたがひて之をおこなふべし他國の人にも自國の人にもその條例は同一なるべし
15 On the day that the Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose [the next day], the cloud resembled a [huge] fire. And that is what happened every day [that we/the Israelis were in the desert].
幕屋を建たる日に雲幕屋を蔽へり是すなはち律法の幕屋なり而して夕にいたれば幕屋の上に火のごとき者あらはれて朝におよべり
即ち常に是のごとくにして晝は雲これを蔽ひ夜は火のごとき者ありき
17 When the cloud rose up and started to move [to a new location], we/they followed it. When the cloud stopped, we/the Israelis stopped there and set up their tents.
雲幕屋を離れて上る時はイスラエルの子孫直に途に進みまた雲の止まる所にイスラエルの子孫營を張り
18 We/They traveled when Yahweh, [by causing the cloud to move or stop], signaled to us/them when to move and when to stop. When the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent, we/the Israelis stayed at that place.
即ちイスラエルの子孫はヱホバの命によりて途に進みまたヱホバの命によりて營を張り幕屋の上に雲の止まれる間は營を張をれり
19 Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
幕屋の上に雲の止ること日久しき時はイスラエルの子孫ヱホバの職守をまもりて途に進まざりき
20 Sometimes the cloud remained over the tent for only a few days. We/The people stopped and set up our/their tents as Yahweh commanded us/them, and we/they traveled [to a new location] when Yahweh commanded us/them to do that.
また幕屋の上に雲の止まる事日少き時も然り彼等は只ヱホバの命にしたがひて營を張りヱホバの命にしたがひて途に進めり
21 Sometimes the cloud stayed in one place for only one day. When that happened, when the cloud rose up [into the sky] the next morning, then we/they traveled. Whenever the cloud moved, during the day or during the night, we/they traveled.
また雲夕より朝まで止り朝におよびてその雲昇る時は彼等途に進めり夜にもあれ晝にもあれ雲の昇る時は即ち途に進めり
22 If the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent for two days, or for a month, or for a year, during that time we/they stayed where we/they were. But when the cloud rose up [into the sky], we/they started to travel.
二日にもあれ一月にもあれまたは其よりも多くの日にもあれ幕屋の上に雲の止り居る間はイスラエルの子孫營を張居て途に進まずその昇るにおよびて途に進めり
23 When Yahweh commanded us/them to [stop and] set up our/their tents, we/they did that. When he told us/them to move, we/they moved. We/They did whatever Yahweh told Moses/me that we/they should do.
即ち彼等はヱホバの命にしたがひて營を張りヱホバの命にしたがひて途に進み且モーセによりて傳はりしヱホバの命にしたがひてヱホバの職守を守れり
