出埃及记 12
1 耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt saying—
2 “你们要以本月为正月，为一年之首。
This month, is, to you, a beginning of months, —the first, it is, to you, of 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 ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, a lamb for a 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。
But if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour that is near unto his house take one, according to the number of souls, —each man according to his eating, shall ye number 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。
A lamb without defect a male a year old, shall yours be, —from the sheep or from the goats, shall ye take it.
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。
So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month, —then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it between the two evenings.
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 put upon the two door-posts and upon the upper-beam, —upon the houses wherein they are to eat it.
8 当夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，与无酵饼和苦菜同吃。
Then shall they eat the flesh, in the same night, —roast with fire, and with unleavened cakes, with bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
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。
Do not eat of it underdone, nor cooked by boiling in water, —but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts.
10 不可剩下一点留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火烧了。
And ye shall let nothing thereof remain until morning, —but that which is left remaining until morning, in the fire shall ye consume.
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 ye eat it, —your loins, girded, your sandals, on your feet, and, your staff, in your hand, —so shall ye eat it in haste, it is Yahweh’s, passing over.
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。
I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, —and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments—I, Yahweh.
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。”
Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, —and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite 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。
So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, —to your generations—as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it.
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, unleavened cakes, shall ye eat, surely, on the first day, shall ye put away leaven, out of your houses, —for whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of Israel, from the first day, unto 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。
Both on the first day, a holy convocation, and on the seventh day—a holy convocation, shall there be to you, —no work, shall be done therein, save only what must be eaten by every soul, that alone, 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。
So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, —so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding,
18 从正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你们要吃无酵饼。
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, shall ye eat unleavened cakes, —until the one-and-twentieth day of the month in the 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。
For seven days, leaven, shall not be found in your houses, —for, whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of the assembly of Israel, whether sojourner or native of the land.
20 有酵的物，你们都不可吃；在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼。”
Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, —in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
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。
So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, —Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock according to your families, and slay 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。
Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam and the two door-posts, with the blood which is in the basin, —and, ye, shall not go forth any man out of the entrance of his house, until 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 Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam and upon the two door-posts, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to inflict on you the plague.
24 这例，你们要守着，作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例。
And ye shall observe this thing, —for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.
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 so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, —and ye shall observe 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 that your sons shall say unto you, —What is this your 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。
Then shall ye say—A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed-over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians but our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down.
28 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
And the sons of Israel went their way and did, —as Yahweh had 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 Yahweh, smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the pit of his prison, —and every firstborn of beasts.
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。
Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, —for there was not a house, where 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！
So he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said—Rise ye, go forth out of the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, —and go serve Yahweh according to your word;
32 也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧！并要为我祝福。”
also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake and go your way, —so shall ye bless, even me.
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 became urgent with the people, to send them in haste out of the land, —for they said—We all, are dying.
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。
So the people took up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, —with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles 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 sons of Israel, did according to the word of Moses, —and asked of the Egyptians, articles of silver and articles of gold and mantles.
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 Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, —so 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。
Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, —about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.
38 又有许多闲杂人，并有羊群牛群，和他们一同上去。
Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, —flocks also, and herds, exceeding 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。
Then baked they the dough which they had brought out of Egypt—into round unleavened cakes for it had not been leavened, —for they had been driven out of Egypt and could not tarry, and indeed no provisions, had they made ready for themselves.
40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, 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 at the end of four hundred and thirty years, yea it came to pass, on this self-same day, that all the hosts of Yahweh had come forth out of the land of Egypt.
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。
A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, —this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons 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 Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, —No stranger, shall eat thereof;
44 但各人用银子买的奴仆，既受了割礼就可以吃。
but, every man’s servant bought with silver, —when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
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, thou shalt not take forth out of the house any of the flesh outside; and a, bone thereof, shalt thou not break.
47 以色列全会众都要守这礼。
All the assembly 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 when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, —but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof.
49 本地人和寄居在你们中间的外人同归一例。”
One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
50 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列众人就怎样行了。
Thus did all the sons of Israel, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
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, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
