Potdohbu 12
1 Israel mite Egypt gamma aum jing laijun, Pakaiyin Mose leh Aaron heng'a hicheng hi thupeh aneiye:
Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
2 “Tuapat hiche lha hi nang ho ding'a lha kipatna ahin, kumkhat adia lha kipatna'a kisim ding ahi tai,” ati.
“[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
3 “Israelte kikhop khomna munpi jouse ah ga seipeh lhon tan. Hiche lhasung nisom alhin niteng leh ama ama cheh in apu apateu insung kai lhah apat, insung khat cheh akon kelngoi khat cheh kat doh ding'a ahin kai diu ahiye.”
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 Kelngoinou khat kitha ding'a insung khat'a mijat chu alhom khah'a ahile, inneipu le aheng akoma pa kinop to ding kelngoi nou adol ding cha bep khat chu aga kimat lhon ding, amichan cheh'in aneh khopset ding kelngoinou khat ding mijat chu phatecha nasim toh lhon ding ahi.
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 “Kelngoinou chu nolna beihel hiding, kumkhat lhingsa hitei ding, hiche kelngoinou chu kelngoi honlah'a konna hihen kelcha honnlah konna hijong leh athah beh mong mong'a na kimat ding'u ahi.”
The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
6 “Hichea manchah ding kelngoinou chu hiche lha nisom leh nili lhinni geija nahen cheh diug'u hichu nilhum lam teng leh Israel kikhom pumpi chun ama amacheh adia akitha ding'u ahiye.”
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 Gancha kithat thisan chu phabep a sodoh diu, hichu kelngoinou thisan a chu in kotpi phung le inkam'a aloinat cheh cheh diu ahi.”
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 “Hicheni jan teng chule kelngoinou sa chu meiya akihul min uva aneh cheh diu, hichu cholso lou changlhah leh anchekha toh ametha cheh cheh diu ahiye.”
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 “Hiche sa chu asel puma hihen twija kihonminsa hijong leh koimachan naneh thei lou hel diu ahi. Sa pumpi aluchang le akeng chule asung jouse jaona meiya na kihulmin tho uva naneh cheh diu ahi,” ati.
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 “Sahel moh neocha jong jingkah chan'na na khovah sah louhel diu ahi. Jingkah geija ana um taphot chu meiya na govam jeng ding'u ahiye.”
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 “Hicheng hi sa naneh teng ule najui cheh ding'u ahiye: nangma cheh na kivon lhingsel uva, nakeng chot ho'u na kisi cheh diu, chule nakhut uva tenggol na kiphu soh kei ding'u ahi. Chu teng naneh khom soh kei uva hichu Pakaiya dia kalchuh kut ahiye,” ati.
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 “Hiche jan teng chule keiman Egypt gamsung kahin jotpa'a mihem leh gancha aboncha apeng lha masa jouse kasuh gam hel ding ahi. Chule Egypt gamsung'a milim doi kisemthu jouse chung'a jong thu katan ding ahiye, ajeh chu keima Pakai kahi!” ati.
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 “Ahinlah nangho jouse ding'a hiche thisan kiso chu melchihna hung kilah tading, keiman Egypt gampumpi ka hinsuh mang ding, hiche thisan chu kahin mudoh jiteng keiman nangho jouse chung'a natna hoise hung lang theijouse akonna kaven doh ding na hiuve,” ati.
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 “Hiche nikho hi nangho ding'a het jing na nikho'a pang jeng ding ahitai. Hichu kumsih chule akhang akhang'a Pakaiya dia kut nikho ahi ti na gel doh jeng ding'u ahiye. Na khang lhumkei uva chonna dan hiti'a nanit jing diu ahitai,” ati.
[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 “Ni sagi sung'a cholso lou chang lhah jeng naneh ding'u ahi. Ni sagi alhinni teng leh nangma insung cheh'a chol umjouse pamlamma na paidoh soh kei ding'u ahi. Nalah uva koitabang khat chun hiche cholso lou changlhah, ni sagi lhinnia pat naneh khah ngeingei uva ahile, amachu Israel mite lah'a konna kisumang jeng ding ahi,” ati.
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 “Kut kipat nikho masa pen'ni teng khompi len khat nanei uva, ni sagi alhinni teng jong leh khompilen theng khatma nanei diu ahi. Hiche nikho teni hi atumbeh a nanit cheh diu, amichan'in aneh khop ding nabol peh teitei ding'u ahi,” ati.
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 “Hiche hi Cholsolou chang lhah kut'a naman diu ahiye, ajechu hiche nikhoa hi keiman nang ho Egypt gamsung'a konna ka hin puidoh nau na geldoh jing diu, nakhang lhumkei uva nangho jousen hiche nikho chu chonna dan ahi tia nanit jom jing ding'u ahi,” ati.
[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 “Lhamasa nisom le nili lhin nikho nilhah lam teng leh na boncha uva hiche chol solou chang lhah chu naneh pan diu ahi”
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 “Ni sagi sungse'a vang chu nangma nangma insung cheh'a, chol sosa changlhah khat jeng cha jong kilah lou ding ahiye. Kholjin mi ahin agamsung cheng den miho hijong leochun cholsosa changlhah nekha tapou chu, Israel khompi akonna ki sumang jeng ding ahi,” ati.
20 ‘Hiche phatsung hin amitakip'in cholsosa changlhah kiti phot na neh lou hel ding'u ahiye. Ajeh chu chol solou changlhah jeng naneh diu ahi.”
In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
21 “Chu in Mose'n jong Israel sung'a upa ho jouse akou khom in aheng uvah asei peh tai, “Che uvin, nangma cheh insung ding kelngoinou gakikai jun lang, chule kal chuh kut'a ding'in kithauvin.”
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 “Khutsilna kong'a gan thisan chu koi jun. Chule hichu hyssop nado phabep lauvin lang dekot'uvin. Hissop chu lauvin lang thisan achun kotpi khom teni ahin kotpi chunglah inkam a chun loinat soh kei uvin. Jing khovah kahse'a koima chan hichu a kallhah theilou ding ahi,” ati.
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 Ajeh chu “Pakaiyin Egypt mite jouse sugamma hung ding kahi, chuteng Pakaiyin kotpi chung lah'a thisan kiloinat hochu amu ding, hitia chu a suh gam ding hojal achu hiche insung chu apeldoh ding ahiye, ati.”
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 “Geldoh jing'un, thupeh hichengse hi nangho jouse ding leh nachateo khang geija chonna dan ahi tia na jui jing ding'u ahi,” ati.
You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
25 “Pakaiyin nangho peh ding'a aki tepna sa gamsung na lhun teng ujongleh hiche chonna dan hi najui jing diu ahi,” ati.
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 “Chule hiche chonna hi na chate u vin ipi ding'a kibol ham, ti na hin doh ding'u ahi.”
When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
27 “Nang hon jong na donbut uva, “hiche chonna dan hi Pakai ja dia gantha kilhaina ahin chule Pakaiyin Egypt mite anatha gamlai chun Aman Israel mite in hochu ana kalchuh ji'e tia nasei peh ding'u ahi. Chuin Mose'n thupeh hichengse chu achaiphat'in mipi jouse Pakai angsung'a akunlha sohkei uvin chibai aboh tauve.
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 Pakaiyin Mose leh Aaron athupeh bang'in Israel mite'n jong abol tauvin ahi.
Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
29 Chule hiche Jan khangkim chun Pakaiyin Egypt gamsung'a nao cha pengmasa jouse, Pharaoh chapa apeng masapen alatouna toupa akipat, akimvella cheng asohpa chapa peng masapen ahin, chule gancha peng masa jouse athat gam hel tan ahi.
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 Jankim laijin Pharaoh, asohteho chule Egypt mite abonchauvin athou doh taovin, Egypt gamsung pumpia ka le mao awgin akithong helsoh tai. Ajeh chu intin chang'a mi thina lou umlouva ahi tai.
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 Jankim lai jin Pharaoh'vin Mose le Aaron aga kousah tauvin, “Ka mite dalhan che tauvin chule Israel mite kipui jin che tauvin! Nei tepna bang un che uvin lang Pakai kin chu gabol jeng tauvin,” ati.
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 seima bang in na kelngoi jouseo leh nagan cha jouse'u abonchan ki pui unlang, che tauvin, nei dalhah ding tah jeh'un keima jong phatthei neichan lhon ding ahiye,” ati.
Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
33 Egypt miten abonchauvin Israelte ding in a kisaboi lheh jeng tauvin, Egypt gamsung'a konna Israel mite soldoh loiding lunggel akeng tauvin, ama hon hiti hin ase uve; “Keiho ka boncha uva thigam ding kahi tauve! tin asei uve.”
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 Israel mite'n jong chang bong neldi anei jouse'u aki hamkhom tauvin. Chang bong ameh nau lhengkam jouse jao nan poh ding'in aki got cheh tauvin ahi.
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 Mose'n athu peh bang bang uvin, Israel mite'n jong abol tauvin ahi; Egypt mite akon'in sana le dangka kijep na ding jouse akithum doh gam tauvin ahi.
The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
36 Pakaiyin Israel mite chu Egypt mite mitmun alunglhaisah soh keijun ahile, Egypt miten jong anei chasun uchu itcha louhel lin ana pesoh kei uvin. Egypt mite haona jouse toh akon tauvin ahi!
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 Hiche jan chun Israel mite Rameses khopia kon in Succoth lam'a ding'in akipat doh tauvin ahi. Numei chapang simtha louvin keng lamma che pasal jat mong chu sang jagup alhing uve.
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 Amaho ahiuvin chule miphum miphah, gancha ho, kelngoi hon tampi le gancha hon tampi jaonan aki tol tauve.
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 gamsung'a aum lai uva kisem chang bong chu alhon lhon'in aki ken jiuvin ahi. Egypt gam'a kino tah'a ki soldoh ahiyeh uvin amahon chang lhah chu chol aso man tah louvu, chule ama cheh nehding jeng jong ana kigon man tapo uve.
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 mite chu Egypt gamsung'a kum jali le kum som thum ana cheng uve.
The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
41 Chuin, Kum jali le kum somthum lhin'nin Pakai thanei jin Israel mite chu Egypt gam'a kon'in ahin puidoh tauvin ahi.
On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
42 Hiche jan chun Pakaiyin Israel mite Egypt gam'a kon'na ahinpui doh ding kitepna aneiyin ahi. Hiche jan hi Pakai ding'a mong ahin, hijeh achu Israel mite'n akhang akhang'uva anit jing diu ahiye.
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 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron heng'a aseijin, “Hichengse hi kalchuh kut kibol ding dan ahi. Kalchuh kut ankong hi kholjin min anehthei lou hel ding ahi.”
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 Amavang hiche mihem chu sum'a kichodohsa le cheptan sa ahile aneh jeng thei ahinai,” ati.
45 “Kholjin maimai le tha'a kila akigoimi hon jong aneh thei lou ding ahi.”
Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
46 “Insung cheh'a kalchuh kut an chu kine ding ahi. Inpolam'a naneh thei lou diu chule sagu hel neocha jong kipodoh thei lou ding ahiye.”
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 “Hiche hi Isreal khompi jousen phatecha anit cheh diuva ahi.”
All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
48 “Gamdang mikhat tou ahung kholjin khah'a Pakai kalchuh kut'a ajaonom'a ahile pasal kiti phot chun achep kitan cheh uhen, chuteng kalchuh kut chu anailut'uva aneh thei ding chuteng amaho chu Israel mite bang'a lhathei ding ahiye.”
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 “Hiche thupeh hi amitakip ading ahin, agammi Israelte hihen gamdang mi hijong le dan khat'a um cheh ding ahi,” ati.
These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
50 Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron athupeh bang'in Israel mite'n jong abolsoh kei uve.
All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
51 Hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin Israel mite Egypt gamsung a kon in galsat sepaite bang in ahin puidoh tauvin ahi.
On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
