民9:1 以色列人出埃及地以后，第二年正月，耶和华在西奈旷野吩咐摩西说：
民9:1 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,
民9:2 “以色列人要在指定的时间守逾越节，
民9:2 Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.
民9:3 就是本月十四日，黄昏的时候，你们要在指定的时间守这节，要照着这节的一切律例和一切典章而行。”
民9:3 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.
民9:4 于是，摩西吩咐以色列人要守逾越节。
民9:4 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.
民9:5 他们就在正月十四日，黄昏的时候，在西奈旷野守了逾越节；耶和华怎样吩咐了摩西，以色列人就怎样行了。
民9:5 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.
民9:6 有几个人因为触着死人而不洁净，以致他们不能在那一天守逾越节；当日他们来到摩西和亚伦面前。
民9:6 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:
民9:7 这些人对摩西说：“我们虽然因为接触死人而不洁净，为什么我们被拒绝，不能在以色列人中，在指定的时间献耶和华的供物呢？”
民9:7 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?
民9:8 摩西对他们说：“你们且等候，我要去听耶和华对你们有什么吩咐。”
民9:8 And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.
民9:9 耶和华对摩西说：
民9:9 And the Lord said to Moses,
民9:10 “你要告诉以色列人说：你们或你们的后代中，如果有人因为接触死人而成为不洁净，或因到远方旅行，他还要向耶和华守逾越节；
民9:10 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:
民9:11 他们要在二月十四日，黄昏的时候，守逾越节，同时要吃无酵饼和苦菜；
民9:11 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;
民9:12 一点也不留到早晨，羊羔的骨头，一根也不可折断；他们要照着逾越节的一切律例守节。
民9:12 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.
民9:13 但那洁净的，又不在路上旅行的人，如果忽略守逾越节，那人就要从自己的民中被剪除，因为他没有在指定的时间内献上耶和华的供物，那人必担当自己的罪。
民9:13 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.
民9:14 如果有外人寄居在你们中间，想要向耶和华守逾越节，他就必须照着逾越节的条例和典章而行；不论是外人或是本地人，只有一样的条例。”
民9:14 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.
民9:15 在竖立帐幕的那一天，有云彩遮盖着帐幕，就是法柜的帐幕；到了晚上，云彩在帐幕上，形状像火，直到早晨。
民9:15 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.
民9:16 常常是这样：白天有云彩遮盖帐幕，夜间云彩形状像火。
民9:16 And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.
民9:17 云彩什么时候从会幕上收去，以色列人就起行；云彩在什么地方停住，以色列人就在那里安营。
民9:17 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.
民9:18 以色列人照着耶和华的吩咐起行，也照着耶和华的吩咐安营；云彩在帐幕上停留多久，他们就安营多久。
民9:18 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.
民9:19 如果云彩多日停留在帐幕上，以色列人就遵守耶和华的吩咐，不起行。
民9:19 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.
民9:20 有时云彩停留在帐幕上只有几天，他们就照着耶和华的吩咐安营；也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。
民9:20 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.
民9:21 有时云彩从晚上到早晨停住；到了早晨，云彩一收上去，他们就起行；有时云彩从白昼到晚上都停住；云彩一收上去，他们就起行。
民9:21 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.
民9:22 云彩停留在帐幕上不论有多久，或两天、或一月、或一年，以色列人就安营，不起行；云彩一收上去，他们就起行。
民9:22 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.
民9:23 他们照着耶和华的吩咐安营，也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。他们遵守耶和华吩咐的，就是照着耶和华藉摩西吩咐的。
民9:23 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.
