出埃及记 12
1 耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “你们要以本月为正月，为一年之首。
This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months of the year.
3 你们吩咐以色列全会众说：本月初十日，各人要按着父家取羊羔，一家一只。
Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.
4 若是一家的人太少，吃不了一只羊羔，本人就要和他隔壁的邻舍共取一只。你们预备羊羔，要按着人数和饭量计算。
And if they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbor that lives near to him, —as to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him shall make a reckoning for the lamb.
5 要无残疾、一岁的公羊羔，你们或从绵羊里取，或从山羊里取，都可以。
It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: you shall take it of the lambs and the kids.
6 要留到本月十四日，在黄昏的时候，以色列全会众把羊羔宰了。
And it shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it toward evening.
7 各家要取点血，涂在吃羊羔的房屋左右的门框上和门楣上。
And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two door-posts, and on the lintel, in the houses in which soever they shall eat them.
8 当夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，与无酵饼和苦菜同吃。
And they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall eat unleavened [bread] with bitter herbs.
9 不可吃生的，断不可吃水煮的，要带着头、腿、五脏，用火烤了吃。
You shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
10 不可剩下一点留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火烧了。
Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it you shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 你们吃羊羔当腰间束带，脚上穿鞋，手中拿杖，赶紧地吃；这是耶和华的逾越节。
And thus shall you eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staves in your hands, and you shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
12 因为那夜我要巡行埃及地，把埃及地一切头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都击杀了，又要败坏埃及一切的神。我是耶和华。
and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord.
13 这血要在你们所住的房屋上作记号；我一见这血，就越过你们去。我击杀埃及地头生的时候，灾殃必不临到你们身上灭你们。”
And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I strike in the land of Egypt.
14 “你们要记念这日，守为耶和华的节，作为你们世世代代永远的定例。
And this day shall be to you a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; you shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.
15 你们要吃无酵饼七日。头一日要把酵从你们各家中除去；因为从头一日起，到第七日为止，凡吃有酵之饼的，必从以色列中剪除。
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day you shall utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.
16 头一日你们当有圣会，第七日也当有圣会。这两日之内，除了预备各人所要吃的以外，无论何工都不可做。
And the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work on them, only as many things as will [necessarily] be done by every soul, this only shall be done by you.
17 你们要守无酵节，因为我正当这日把你们的军队从埃及地领出来。所以，你们要守这日，作为世世代代永远的定例。
And you shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and you shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.
18 从正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你们要吃无酵饼。
Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, you shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.
19 在你们各家中，七日之内不可有酵；因为凡吃有酵之物的，无论是寄居的，是本地的，必从以色列的会中剪除。
Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both among the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.
20 有酵的物，你们都不可吃；在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼。”
You shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your you shall eat unleavened bread.
21 于是，摩西召了以色列的众长老来，对他们说：“你们要按着家口取出羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰了。
And Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, Go away and take to yourselves a lamb according to your kindred, and kill the passover.
22 拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆里的血，打在门楣上和左右的门框上。你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, you shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but you shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.
23 因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人，他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上，就必越过那门，不容灭命的进你们的房屋，击杀你们。
And the Lord shall pass by to strike the Egyptians, and shall see the blood upon the lintel, and upon both the door-posts; and the Lord shall pass by the door, and shall not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to strike [you].
24 这例，你们要守着，作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例。
And keep you this thing as an ordinance for yourself and for your children for ever.
25 日后，你们到了耶和华按着所应许赐给你们的那地，就要守这礼。
And if you should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.
26 你们的儿女问你们说：‘行这礼是什么意思？’
And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
27 你们就说：‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭。当以色列人在埃及的时候，他击杀埃及人，越过以色列人的房屋，救了我们各家。’”于是百姓低头下拜。
that you shall say to them, This passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as he defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
28 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
And the people bowed and worshipped. And the children of Israel departed and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 到了半夜，耶和华把埃及地所有的长子，就是从坐宝座的法老，直到被掳囚在监里之人的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，尽都杀了。
And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao that sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all cattle.
30 法老和一切臣仆，并埃及众人，夜间都起来了。在埃及有大哀号，无一家不死一个人的。
And Pharao rose up by night, and his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in all the land of Egypt, for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31 夜间，法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“起来！连你们带以色列人，从我民中出去，依你们所说的，去事奉耶和华吧！
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both you and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as you say.
32 也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧！并要为我祝福。”
And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
33 埃及人催促百姓，打发他们快快出离那地，因为埃及人说：“我们都要死了。”
And the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.
34 百姓就拿着没有酵的生面，把抟面盆包在衣服中，扛在肩头上。
And the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up [as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.
35 以色列人照着摩西的话行，向埃及人要金器、银器，和衣裳。
And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.
36 耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人给他们所要的。他们就把埃及人的财物夺去了。
And the Lord gave his people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 以色列人从兰塞起行，往疏割去；除了妇人孩子，步行的男人约有六十万。
And the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
38 又有许多闲杂人，并有羊群牛群，和他们一同上去。
And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.
39 他们用埃及带出来的生面烤成无酵饼。这生面原没有发起；因为他们被催逼离开埃及，不能耽延，也没有为自己预备什么食物。
And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it had not been leavened; for the Egyptians cast them out, and they could not remain, neither did they prepare provision for themselves for the journey.
40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
41 正满了四百三十年的那一天，耶和华的军队都从埃及地出来了。
And it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night.
42 这夜是耶和华的夜；因耶和华领他们出了埃及地，所以当向耶和华谨守，是以色列众人世世代代该谨守的。
It is a watch kept to the Lord, so that he should bring them out of the land of Egypt; that very night is a watch kept to the Lord, so that it should be to all the children of Israel to their generations.
43 耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：“逾越节的例是这样：外邦人都不可吃这羊羔。
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no stranger shall eat of it.
44 但各人用银子买的奴仆，既受了割礼就可以吃。
And every slave or servant bought with money—him you shall circumcise, and then shall he eat of it.
45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.
46 应当在一个房子里吃；不可把一点肉从房子里带到外头去。羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。
In one house shall it be eaten, and you shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it you shall not break.
47 以色列全会众都要守这礼。
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
48 若有外人寄居在你们中间，愿向耶和华守逾越节，他所有的男子务要受割礼，然后才容他前来遵守，他也就像本地人一样；但未受割礼的，都不可吃这羊羔。
And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, you shall circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 本地人和寄居在你们中间的外人同归一例。”
There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.
50 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列众人就怎样行了。
And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.
51 正当那日，耶和华将以色列人按着他们的军队，从埃及地领出来。
And it came to pass in that day that the Lord brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt with their forces.
