1 And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

2 Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

4 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

6 And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

7 And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

8 And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

9 And the Lord said to Moses,

10 Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

12 Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

13 But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

14 And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

15 And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

16 And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

18 At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

19 When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

20 Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

21 And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

22 Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

23 At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.

1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i te koraha o Hinai, i te rua o nga tau o to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te tahi o nga marama, i mea,

2 Me mahi ano te kapenga e nga tama a Iharaira i tona wa ano.

3 Me mahi i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o tenei marama, i te ahiahi, i tona wa ano: kia rite ki ona tikanga katoa, ki ona ritenga katoa, ta koutou meatanga.

4 Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira kia mahia te kapenga.

5 A ka mahia e ratou te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama tuatahi, i te ahiahi, i te koraha o Hinai: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.

6 Na tera etahi tangata i poke i te tupapaku, i kore ai e ahei te mahi i te kapenga i taua ra: na ka haere ratou ki te aroaro o Mohi raua ko Arona i taua ra;

7 A ka mea aua tangata ki a ia, Kua poke matou i te tupapaku: he aha matou te tukua ai ki te whakahere i te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, i roto i nga tama a Iharaira?

8 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, E tu koutou, a me whakarongo atu ahau ki to Ihowa e whakahau ai mo koutou.

9 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

10 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te poke i te tupapaku tetahi o koutou, o o koutou uri ranei, ki te mea ranei kei tawhiti e haere ana, me mahi ano e ia te kapenga ki a Ihowa.

11 Me mahi e ratou i te rua o nga marama, i te tekau ma wha o nga ra, i te ahiahi, me kinaki ki te taro rewenakore, ki nga puwha kawa:

12 Kaua tetahi wahi o tena mea e whakatoea e ratou mo te ata, kaua ano hoki e whatiia tetahi o ona wheua; kia rite ki nga tikanga katoa o te kapenga ta ratou mahinga i tena mahi.

13 Ko te tangata ia kahore ona poke, a kahore ano i te haere, a e mangere ana ki te mahi i te kapenga, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi: kahore nei hoki i kawea e ia te whakahere ma Ihowa i tona wa i rite ai, ka waha e taua tangata tona hara.

14 A ki te noho he manene i roto i a koutou, a ka mea ki te mahi i te kapenga ki a Ihowa; kia rite ki nga tikanga o te kapenga, ki nga ritenga ano o taua mahi, tana e mea ai: kia kotahi ano ta koutou tikanga mo te manene raua ko te tangata whenua.

15 A i te ra i whakaarahia ai te tapenakara, ka taupokina te tapenakara e te kapua, ara te teneti o te whakaaturanga: a i te ahiahi i rite a runga o te tapenakara ki te ahua ahi, taea noatia te ata.

16 I pera tonu: i taupokina e te kapua i te awatea, e te ahua ahi hoki i te po.

17 Ka riro ake hoki te kapua i runga i te tapenakara, na, muri iho, ka haere nga tama a Iharaira: a i te wahi i tau ai te kapua ka whakaturia e nga tama a Iharaira o ratou teneti ki reira.

18 Na ko nga haerenga o nga tama a Iharaira na te whakahau a Ihowa, a ko o ratou nohoanga iho na te whakahau ano a Ihowa: i noho ano ratou i nga ra katoa i tau ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara.

19 A ka maha nga ra i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, na ka rite i nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, a kihai i haere.

20 A he wa ano i torutoru nga ra o te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara; heoi na te whakahau a Ihowa ka noho ratou i o ratou teneti, a na te whakahau ano a Ihowa ka haere ratou.

21 A i etahi wa i tuturu te kapua i te ahiahi taea noatia te ata; a ka riro ake te kapua i te ata, na ka haere ratou: ahakoa he ao, he po ranei, i riro ake ai te kapua, i haere ano ratou.

22 Ahakoa e rua nga ra, kotahi marama ranei, kotahi tau ranei, i roa ai te kapua ki runga ki te tapenakara, i mau ai ki reira, na noho a puni tonu iho nga tama a Iharaira, kahore hoki i haere: tona rironga ake ki runga, na ka haere ratou.

23 Na te whakahau a Ihowa ta ratou noho, na te whakahau hoki a Ihowa ta ratou haere: i rite i a ratou ta Ihowa i whakarite ai, ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, i korerotia ai e Mohi.
