Sunglatnah 12
1 BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te Egypt kho ah a voek.
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
2 “Tahae hla he nangmih ham hla kungpuei neh kum dongkah hla khuiah khaw nangmih ham lamhma la om ni.
“[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
3 Israel rhaengpuei boeih taengah thui lamtah, 'Tahae kah hla rha dongah tah hlang long he a napa im ham tu pakhat, te pawt atah im pakhat ham tu pakhat tah amamih taengla lo uh saeh.
Tell all the Israeli people that in each family, the man who heads the family must select a lamb or a young goat for his household.
4 Tu aka om lakah imkhui a vaitah atah a im neh aka yoei a imben taengah lo saeh. Hlang kah hinglu tarhing neh aka ca tarhing ah tu te boesoep pah.
If there are not enough people in his family to eat a whole [cooked] lamb, then his family and the family that lives next door may share one animal. Decide how many lambs you need according to the number of people in each family, and according to how much each person can eat.
5 Boiva te a tal a hmabuet, kum khat aka lo ca te tah tuca khaw maae khaw namamih taengla lo uh.
The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
6 Te phoeiah tahae hla hnin hlai li hil tuemkoi la nangmih taengah om vetih kholaeh ah Israel rhaengpuei hlangping boeih loh te te ngawn uh saeh.
You must take [special] care of these animals until the 14th day of the month. On that day, all the Israeli people must slaughter the lambs [or goats] in the evening.
7 Te phoeiah a thii te lo uh saeh lamtah rhungsut so rhoi neh im kah danglo dongah pae uh saeh. A pum te a khuiah ca uh saeh.
Then they must take some of the blood [from the lambs or goats], and they must smear it on the doorposts and the (lintels/horizontal beams above the doorways) of the houses in which they will eat the meat.
8 Maeh te khoyin ah hmai dongkah maehkaeh la ca uh saeh lamtah vaidamding neh ankhaa caak thil uh saeh.
They must roast the animals immediately and eat the meat that night. They must eat it with bread that is baked without yeast and with bitter herbs.
9 A haeng lam khaw, tui neh a thong tih a hmin te lamkhaw ca uh boeh. Tedae a lu neh a kho, a kotak khaw hmai a kaeh ni na caak eh.
You must not eat any of the meat raw, and you must not boil the meat. You must roast it [whole], without cutting off the head or the legs or removing the internal parts.
10 Te te mincang hil paih boeh, mincang hil aka coih pueng te tah hmai neh hoeh uh.
You must eat all the meat that evening; do not let any of the meat remain [to be eaten] the next morning. If any of the meat is left until the next morning, you must [completely] burn it.
11 Te te he tlam he ca uh. Na cinghen yen uh lamtah na khokhom te na kho dongah buenuh. Na conghol te na kut dongah pomuh. BOEIPA kah Yoom he thintawn la ca uh.
When you eat it, you must be dressed ready to travel, and you must eat it quickly. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hands. It will be a festival [called] Passover to [honor] me, Yahweh.
12 Te khoyin ah Egypt khohmuen long ka pah vetih, Egypt kho kah caming boeih tah hlang lamloh rhamsa hil pataeng ka ngawn ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh Egypt pathen boeih soah tholhphu ka thung ni.
On that night I will go through all the country of Egypt, and I will kill all the oldest males in Egypt, both humans and animals. [By doing this] I will show that all the gods in Egypt are worthless. [I can do this], because I am Yahweh, [the all-powerful God].
13 Thii he nangmih ham im dongah miknoek la om ni. Nangmih taengah thii te ka hmuh vaengah nangmih te kang kang vetih Egypt khohmuen ka ngawn vaengah khaw kutcaihnah tlohthae te nangmih ah om mahpawh.
The blood [that you smear on the doorways will be a mark to indicate] the houses in which you [Israelis] live. When I see the blood, I will [ignore and] pass by those houses, and I will not harm you [Israelis who live there], when I punish the Egyptians.
14 Te phoeiah he khohnin he nangmih ham poekkoepnah la om saeh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah khotue neh lam uh. Na lam uh te na cadilcahma ham kumhal khosing la om saeh.
[Each year], you must celebrate this festival on this day, to remember [what I], Yahweh, [have done for you]. In all the generations to come, [each year] you must celebrate [this festival]. [It must continue] forever.
15 Hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca uh. A cuek hnin ah tolrhu te na im lamloh toeng uh. Tolrhu aka ca boeih tah a hinglu te a cuek hnin lamloh a rhih hnin due Israel lamloh khoe saeh.
For seven days you must eat bread that has no yeast in it. On the first day of that week you must get rid of all the yeast that is in your houses. During those seven days, if anyone eats bread that is baked with yeast in it, [you must consider] that person to be no longer an Israeli.
16 A cuek khohnin kah a cim tingtunnah neh a rhih hnin kah a cim tingtunnah te nangmih ham om ni. Te vaengah bitat boeih he saii boel saeh. Tedae nangmih khuikah hinglu boeih loh a caak nawn te amah loh saii mai saeh.
On the first day [of that week], you must (have a holy meeting/gather together to [worship] me). You must do the same thing on the seventh day. People must not work on those two days. The only work they may do is to prepare food for you to eat.
17 Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah nangmih caempuei te Egypt kho lamloh kang khuen dongah vaidamding te ngaithuen. Te dongah na cadilcahma kah kumhal khosing dongah khaw he khohnin he ngaithuen uh.
[Every year] you must keep celebrating this festival of eating bread that has no yeast in it, because it will remind you that it was on this day that I brought all your tribal groups out of Egypt. So [every year], in all the generations to come, you must celebrate this day as a festival. It must continue forever.
18 Lamhma ah hla sae hnin hlai li hlaem vaeng lamloh tekah hla hnin kul hnin khat hlaem duela vaidamding mah ca uh.
In the first month of the year, on the 14th day of that month, the only bread you may eat is bread that has no yeast in it. You must keep doing that each day until the 21st day of that month. For those seven days you must not have any yeast in your house. [During that time], if anyone, either an Israeli or a foreigner, eats bread made with yeast, you must consider that person no longer to be an Israeli.
19 Hnin rhih hil na im ah tolrhu hmu boel saeh. tolrhu aka ca boeih tah yinlai khaw, khohmuen mupoe khaw Israel rhaengpuei lamloh hinglu hnawt pah saeh.
20 Tolrhu aka nuen boeih tah ca uh boel lamtah na tolrhum boeih ah vaidamding mah ca uh,” a ti nah.
In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
21 Te phoeiah Moses loh Israel kah a hamca boeih te a khue tih amih te dangrhoek uh laeh, namah huiko ham boiva te namamih loh lo uh lamtah Yoom maeh te ngawn uh laeh.
Then Moses/I summoned all the leaders of the Israeli people. He/I said to them, “Each family should select a lamb and kill it, [in order that you may eat it to celebrate the festival that will be called] ‘Passover’.
22 Te phoeiah pumpiding bong at lo uh lamtah baeldung dongkah thii khuiah nuem uh. Baeldung khuikah thii te danglo so neh rhungsut rhoi dongah hluk uh. Nangmih te hlang pakhat khaw mincang hil a im thohka lamloh moe uh boeh.
Let the lamb’s blood [drain into] a basin. Get a bunch/sprig of (hyssop/a very leafy plant) and dip it in the blood. Then smear some of the blood on the doorposts and the (lintels/beams above the doorways) [of your houses]. The people in each house must all stay inside the house until the next morning.
23 Egypt vuek ham BOEIPA loh a pah vaengah danglo dongkah neh rhungsut rhoi dongkah thii te a hmuh vetih a kan ni. Aka vuek te na im thohka la kun ham khaw BOEIPA loh nang te kutcaihnah la n' khueh mahpawh.
When Yahweh goes throughout Egypt to kill the [oldest male in each] Egyptian family, he will see the blood on the (lintels/beams of your doorways), and he will [ignore and] pass by those houses. He will not allow the angel who causes people to die to enter your houses and kill [any of] your [oldest sons].
24 He ol he namah ham neh na ca ham khaw kumhal kah oltlueh la ngaithuen laeh.
You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
25 Nangmih taengah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA loh m' paek ham khohmuen la na pawk uh tue om bitni. Te vaengah he kah thothuengnah he ngaithuen uh.
And when you arrive in the land that Yahweh will be giving to you as he promised, you must keep celebrating this ritual [every year].
26 Na ca rhoek loh nangmih taengah, “Nangmih kah he mebang thothuengnah nim? aka ti khaw om ni.
When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
27 Te vaengah, “He tah BOEIPA kah Yoom hmueih ni. Amah loh Egypt kah Israel ca imkhui te a kan dongah Egypt te a vuek tih mamih imkhui te n'huul,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah pilnam te buluk tih a bawk uh.
you must tell them, ‘This ritual is [to remember how our ancestors] sacrificed [lambs] on the night that Yahweh’s angel passed by the houses of the Israeli people [when they were] in Egypt. He killed the [oldest males/sons in all] the Egyptian houses, but he spared [the sons in] [MTY] our houses.’” After Moses/I told them this, they all bowed their heads and worshiped [Yahweh].
28 A caeh uh phoeiah khaw BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron a uen a saii rhoi vanbangla Israel ca rhoek long khaw a saii uh.
Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
29 Te phoeiah khoyin boengli a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol Pharaoh caming lamloh tangrhom im kah tamna caming neh rhamsa caming boeih, Egypt khohmuen kah caming boeih te a ngawn.
At midnight Yahweh killed all the oldest sons of the Egyptian people, all over Egypt. That included the king’s oldest son, the oldest sons of the prisoners in the dungeon/jail, and [the oldest sons of everyone else]. He also killed the oldest males of all the Egyptians’ livestock.
30 Te dongah Pharaoh amah neh a sal boeih neh Egypt boeih tah khoyin ah thoo uh. Te vaengah aka duek pawh imkhui a om pawt dongah Egypt ah pangngawlnah muep om.
That night the king, all his officials, and [all the rest of] the Egyptian people awoke [and discovered what had happened]. They wailed loudly all over Egypt, because in every house, someone’s son had died.
31 Amah khoyin ah Moses neh Aaron te a khue tih, “Thoo lamtah ka pilnam lakli lamloh namah neh Israel ca rhoek khaw nong uh laeh. Na thui bangla cet uh lamtah Yahweh te thothueng uh.
That night the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You and all the [other] Israeli people, must leave my country [immediately]! Go and worship Yahweh, as you requested!
32 Na boiva khaw, na saelhung khaw na thui uh bangla khuen uh. Cet uh lamtah kai khaw yoethen m'pae uh,” a ti nah.
Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
33 Egypt loh, “Kaimih boeih ka duek uh coeng,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih te khohmuen lamloh tueih paitok ham te pilnam te a cahawh.
Then the Israeli people did as Moses/I had told them. They [went to] their Egyptian [neighbors] and asked them for silver and gold jewelry and clothing.
34 Te dongah pilnam loh a vaidambael dongkah tol a phul hlan a vaidamtlam te a himbai neh a boep uh tih a laengpang dongah a koh uh.
Yahweh caused the Egyptian people to greatly respect the [Israeli] people, so they gave them what they asked for. In that way, they carried away the wealth of the Egyptian people.
35 Israel ca rhoek long khaw Moses ol bangla a saii tih Egypt rhoek taengah cak hnopai neh sui hnopai neh himbai te a hoe uh.
The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
36 BOEIPA loh pilnam te Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la a khueh coeng dongah a hoe uh bangla Egypt kah te a huul pauh.
So the [Israeli] people [prepared to leave at once]. They took the bowls in which they mixed the dough to make bread, and the dough that was in the bowls without any yeast in it, and they wrapped the bowls in their cloaks. They put the bowls on their shoulders [and left].
37 Te vaengah Sukkoth Raamses lamloh Israel ca rhoek aka cet te camoe a hoep phoeiah tongpa rhalkap thawng ya rhuk tluk louh.
The Israeli people traveled from Rameses [city] to Succoth [town]. There were about 600,000 men who went, in addition to the women and children.
38 Namcom khaw amih taengah muep cet uh tih boiva neh saelhung boiva neh bahoeng yet uh.
Many other people who were not Israelis went along with them. There were also livestock, the flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle].
39 Egypt lamloh a khuen vaidamtlam te tol a phul pawt dongah vaidamding buh la a kaeng uh. Egypt lamloh a haek uh vaengah uelh ham a coeng pawt dongah amamih ham lampu khaw a saii uh moenih.
On their way, they baked bread with the dough that they carried with them when they had been expelled from Egypt. The dough did not have yeast in it, because they were told to leave Egypt so quickly that they did not have enough time to get food ready to take with them, or enough time to mix yeast in the dough.
40 Israel ca rhoek loh a tolrhum nah tih Egypt ah kho a sak uh te kum ya li neh kum sawmthum lo coeng.
The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
41 Kum ya li neh kum sawmthum a bawtnah te a pha coeng. Te khohnin kuelhuelh te a pha vaengah tah BOEIPA kah caempuei boeih te Egypt kho lamloh khoe uh.
On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
42 Tekah haknah hlaem ah BOEIPA loh amih te Egypt kho lamkah a khuen. He khoyin he Israel ca boeih a cadilcahma ham BOEIPA taengkah haknah la om.
It was a night when Yahweh (protected/guarded over) them as he brought them out of Egypt. So this same night every year is a night that is dedicated to Yahweh, a night when the Israeli people in every generation [remember how] Yahweh protected our ancestors.
43 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te, “Yoom kah khosing he tah, kholong ca boeih long tah te te ca boel saeh.
Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me: “These are my instructions about the Passover ritual: Do not let foreigners eat [the Passover meal]. But any male slaves that you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised them.
44 Tedae sal boeih khaw tangka neh a lai hlang te na rhet pah coeng atah tah te te ca saeh.
45 Lampah neh kutloh long khaw te te ca boel saeh.
Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
46 Im pakhat ah ca saeh. Maeh te imkhui lamloh tol la khuen boel saeh. A rhuh khaw a khuiah paep sak boeh.
Each family must eat the Passover meal inside their own house. Do not take any of the food outside the house. And do not break any of the bones of the lamb that is sacrificed.
47 Israel rhaengpuei boeih loh te te saii saeh.
All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
48 Na taengah yinlai bakuep tih BOEIPA taengkah Yoom ka saii eh a ti atah tongpa boeih te rhet pah saeh. Te daengah ni te te a saii vaengah nuen van vetih khohmuen mupoe bangla a om eh. Tedae pumdul boeih tah te te ca boel saeh.
When someone from another country comes to live with you and wants to celebrate the Passover Festival, circumcise all the males in his household. Then they may eat the Passover meal, and you should treat those people as though they were born as Israelis. But do not allow men who have not been circumcised to eat the Passover meal.
49 Olkhueng he mupoe taeng neh nangmih lakli kah aka bakuep yinlai taengah pakhat la om saeh.
These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
50 Te dongah BOEIPA loh a uen tih Moses neh Aaron loh a saii bangla Israel ca rhoek loh boeih a saii uh.
All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
51 Te khohnin kuelhuelh ah ni BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh a caempuei neh a khuen.
On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
