Numbers 9

9 ¹Our Papa talk to Moses for di Sinai wilderness, for di first month of di second year afta dem comot Egypt sey:

²"Make di people of Israel keep di Passover for di time wey dem set am. ³For di fourteenth day of dis month, wen evening dey come, keep am for im set time, follow all im statutes and all im rules."

⁴So Moses tell di people of Israel sey make dem keep di Passover. ⁵For di wilderness of Sinai, dem keep di Passover for day fourteen of di first month, wen evening dey come, as our Papa command Moses; na so di children of Israel do. ⁶Some men no clean bikos dem touch dead body, and dem no fit keep Passover dat day, so dem come stand before Moses and Aaron dat day. ⁷Dose men tell am sey, "We no clean bikos of dead body. Wetin make dem go stop us to bring our Papa offering for im set time among di Israelites?"

⁸And Moses tell dem sey, "Wait for here till I hear wetin our Papa go command about dis matter."

⁹Our Papa talk to Moses sey,

¹⁰"Tell di Israelites: if any of una or una pikin no clean bikos of dead body, or e travel go far place, e fit still keep di Passover to our Papa. ¹¹For month two, on day fourteen, wen evening dey come, dem must keep am, dem go chop am with bread wey no get yeast and bitter herbs. ¹²Dem no go leave any of am till morning, dem no go break any of im bone, and dem go keep am follow every statute of di Passover. ¹³But if person clean and e no dey travel, yet e no keep di Passover, dem must cut dat person comot from im people, bikos e no bring our Papa offering for im set time; dat man go carry im sin. ^a a v13 To dey 'cut comot from im people' mean sey dem go formally throway am comot from Israel Covenant community.

¹⁴"If foreigner wey dey stay among una wan keep di Passover to our Papa, e must follow di statute and rule of di Passover. One statute go apply to di foreigner and to di person wey born for di land."

Di Cloud Dey Lead di Way

¹⁵Wen dem set up di tabernacle—di tent of di testimony—cloud cover am; from evening till morning e look like fire ontop di tabernacle. ¹⁶Na so e dey always: cloud cover am for day, and di appearance of fire for night. ¹⁷Wenever di cloud lift comot from ontop di tent, di Israelites go comot; wia e settle, na dia di Israelites go camp. ¹⁸For our Papa command, di people of Israel go comot; for our Papa command, dem go camp. As long as di cloud rest ontop di tabernacle, dem go remain for camp. ¹⁹Wen di cloud tarry ontop di tabernacle plenty days, di Israelites keep our Papa charge and dem no comot. ²⁰Sometime di cloud go stay ontop di dwelling place small days rikni: for di command of our Papa dem go camp, for di command of our Papa dem go comot. ²¹Sometime di cloud go stay from evening till morning; wen e lift for morning, dem go comot. Weda for day or night, wen di cloud lift, dem go comot. ²²Weda two days, one month, or pass dat, wen di cloud remain ontop di tabernacle, Israel go stay for camp and dem no go comot; wen e lift, dem go comot. ²³For our Papa command dem go camp; for im command dem go comot. Dem keep im charge, for our Papa command wey come through Moses.
