出埃及记 12
1 耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
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 shall be the first month of the year to you.
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 Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, 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。
and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbour next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.
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。
Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats.
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。
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at 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。
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 当夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，与无酵饼和苦菜同吃。
They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it 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。
Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 不可剩下一点留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火烧了。
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until 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。
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s Passover.
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。
For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgements against all the gods of Egypt. 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。”
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike 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。
This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
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; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
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。
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may 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。
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
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 at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at 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。
There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in 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。”
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations 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。
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, 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。
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until 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。
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to 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。
You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
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。
It shall happen when you have come to the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 你们的儿女问你们说：‘行这礼是什么意思？’
It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by 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, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
The children of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
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。
At midnight, the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
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。
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in 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！
He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from amongst my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said!
32 也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧！并要为我祝福。”
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
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。”
The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”
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。
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes 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。
The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
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。
The LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered 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。
The children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38 又有许多闲杂人，并有羊群牛群，和他们一同上去。
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
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。
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
Now the time that the children of Israel lived 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。
At the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the day, all of the LORD’s armies went out from 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。
It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout 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。
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
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 who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
A foreigner and a hired servant 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。
It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 以色列全会众都要守这礼。
All the congregation 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。
When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but 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。”
One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you.”
50 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列众人就怎样行了。
All the children of Israel did so. As the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, 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。
That same day, the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
