Numbers 9

1 God talk to Moses for Sinai Desert for first month of the year after people of Israel don leave Egypt. He say,

2-

3 “On fourteenth day of this month, from sunset, make people of Israel celebrate Passover according to all rules and regulations for am.”

4 Naso Moses tell the people make dem celebrate Passover,

5 and dem do am for evening of fourteenth day of the first month in Sinai Desert. The people do everything just as God don command Moses.

6 But e get some people wey no dey clean because dem don touch dead body, and dem no fit celebrate Passover that day. Dem go to Moses and Aaron

7 and say, “We no dey clean because we don touch dead body, but why we no fit join other Israelites give offering to God?”

8 Moses answer say, “Wait make I receive instruction from God.”

9 God tell Moses

10 make he tell people of Israel say, “When any of una or una descendants no dey clean from say dem touch dead body or dem dey far away for journey, but dem still wan keep the Passover,

11 una fit celebrate am after one month instead, for evening of the fourteenth day of the second month. Make una celebrate am with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12 Make una no leave any of the food till following morning, and make una no break any of the animal bone. Make una observe the Passover according to all the regulations.

13 But anyone wey dey clean and no dey for journey, and no observe the Passover, no go be one of my people again, because he no present the offering to me at the time he suppose do am. He go suffer for him sin.

14 If foreigners wey dey live among una wan observe the Passover, make dem observe am according to all the rules and regulations. Na the same law dey for every person, whether na native or foreigner.”

15-

16 On the day una set up God Tabernacle Tent, a cloud come cover am. For night the cloud look like fire.

17 Anytime the cloud go up, the people of Israel dey break their camp, and dem go set up camp again for where the cloud come down.

18 The people dey break camp and dey set am up as God dey command. As long as the cloud dey stay over the Tent, dem dey stay for the same camp.

19 When the cloud stay on top the Tent for long time, dem obey God and dem no move their camp.

20 Sometimes the cloud go only stay on top the Tent for few days; for any case, dem stay for the camp or move, according to God command.

21 Sometimes the cloud go only stay on top the Tent only from evening till morning, and dem go move on when the cloud lift. Anytime the cloud lift, dem move on.

22 Whether na for two days, a month, a year, or even long pass, as long as the cloud dey on top the Tent, dem no dey move; but when e lift, dem move.

23 Dem set up camp and break camp so that dem go obey the commands wey God don give them through Moses.
