出埃及記 12
1 耶和華在埃及地曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 「你們要以本月為正月，為一年之首。
This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months of the year.
3 你們吩咐以色列全會眾說：本月初十日，各人要按着父家取羊羔，一家一隻。
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，吃不了一隻羊羔，本人就要和他隔壁的鄰舍共取一隻。你們預備羊羔，要按着人數和飯量計算。
And if they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbour 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 要無殘疾、一歲的公羊羔，你們或從綿羊裏取，或從山羊裏取，都可以。
It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: ye shall take it of the lambs and the kids.
6 要留到本月十四日，在黃昏的時候，以色列全會眾把羊羔宰了。
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 各家要取點血，塗在吃羊羔的房屋左右的門框上和門楣上。
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 當夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，與無酵餅和苦菜同吃。
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，斷不可吃水煮的，要帶着頭、腿、五臟，用火烤了吃。
Ye shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
10 不可剩下一點留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火燒了。
Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it ye shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 你們吃羊羔當腰間束帶，腳上穿鞋，手中拿杖，趕緊地吃；這是耶和華的逾越節。
And thus shall ye eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staves in your hands, and ye shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
12 因為那夜我要巡行埃及地，把埃及地一切頭生的，無論是人是牲畜，都擊殺了，又要敗壞埃及一切的神。我是耶和華。
and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite every first-born 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 這血要在你們所住的房屋上作記號；我一見這血，就越過你們去。我擊殺埃及地頭生的時候，災殃必不臨到你們身上滅你們。」
And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which ye are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I smite in the land of Egypt.
14 「你們要記念這日，守為耶和華的節，作為你們世世代代永遠的定例。
And this day shall be to you a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; ye shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.
15 你們要吃無酵餅七日。頭一日要把酵從你們各家中除去；因為從頭一日起，到第七日為止，凡吃有酵之餅的，必從以色列中剪除。
Seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day ye 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 頭一日你們當有聖會，第七日也當有聖會。這兩日之內，除了預備各人所要吃的以外，無論何工都不可做。
And the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: ye 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 你們要守無酵節，因為我正當這日把你們的軍隊從埃及地領出來。所以，你們要守這日，作為世世代代永遠的定例。
And ye shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.
18 從正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你們要吃無酵餅。
Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, ye shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.
19 在你們各家中，七日之內不可有酵；因為凡吃有酵之物的，無論是寄居的，是本地的，必從以色列的會中剪除。
Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whosoever 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，你們都不可吃；在你們一切住處要吃無酵餅。」
Ye shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your ye shall eat unleavened bread.
21 於是，摩西召了以色列的眾長老來，對他們說：「你們要按着家口取出羊羔，把這逾越節的羊羔宰了。
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 kindreds, and slay the passover.
22 拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆裏的血，打在門楣上和左右的門框上。你們誰也不可出自己的房門，直到早晨。
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, ye shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but ye shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.
23 因為耶和華要巡行擊殺埃及人，他看見血在門楣上和左右的門框上，就必越過那門，不容滅命的進你們的房屋，擊殺你們。
And the Lord shall pass by to smite 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 smite [you].
24 這例，你們要守着，作為你們和你們子孫永遠的定例。
And keep ye this thing as an ordinance for thyself and for thy children for ever.
25 日後，你們到了耶和華按着所應許賜給你們的那地，就要守這禮。
And if ye should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.
26 你們的兒女問你們說：『行這禮是甚麼意思？』
And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
27 你們就說：『這是獻給耶和華逾越節的祭。當以色列人在埃及的時候，他擊殺埃及人，越過以色列人的房屋，救了我們各家。』」於是百姓低頭下拜。
that ye 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 smote the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
28 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列人就怎樣行。
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，耶和華把埃及地所有的長子，就是從坐寶座的法老，直到被擄囚在監裏之人的長子，以及一切頭生的牲畜，盡都殺了。
And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharao that sat on the throne, to the first-born of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the first-born of all cattle.
30 法老和一切臣僕，並埃及眾人，夜間都起來了。在埃及有大哀號，無一家不死一個人的。
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 夜間，法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「起來！連你們帶以色列人，從我民中出去，依你們所說的，去事奉耶和華吧！
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both ye and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as ye say.
32 也依你們所說的，連羊群牛群帶着走吧！並要為我祝福。」
And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
33 埃及人催促百姓，打發他們快快出離那地，因為埃及人說：「我們都要死了。」
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 百姓就拿着沒有酵的生麵，把摶麵盆包在衣服中，扛在肩頭上。
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話行，向埃及人要金器、銀器，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 耶和華叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人給他們所要的。他們就把埃及人的財物奪去了。
And the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 以色列人從蘭塞起行，往疏割去；除了婦人孩子，步行的男人約有六十萬。
And the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
38 又有許多閒雜人，並有羊群牛群，和他們一同上去。
And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.
39 他們用埃及帶出來的生麵烤成無酵餅。這生麵原沒有發起；因為他們被催逼離開埃及，不能耽延，也沒有為自己預備甚麼食物。
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 正滿了四百三十年的那一天，耶和華的軍隊都從埃及地出來了。
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 這夜是耶和華的夜；因耶和華領他們出了埃及地，所以當向耶和華謹守，是以色列眾人世世代代該謹守的。
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 耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：「逾越節的例是這樣：外邦人都不可吃這羊羔。
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no stranger shall eat of it.
44 但各人用銀子買的奴僕，既受了割禮就可以吃。
And every slave or servant bought with money—him thou shalt 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 應當在一個房子裏吃；不可把一點肉從房子裏帶到外頭去。羊羔的骨頭一根也不可折斷。
In one house shall it be eaten, and ye shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it ye shall not break.
47 以色列全會眾都要守這禮。
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
48 若有外人寄居在你們中間，願向耶和華守逾越節，他所有的男子務要受割禮，然後才容他前來遵守，他也就像本地人一樣；但未受割禮的，都不可吃這羊羔。
And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, thou shalt 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 本地人和寄居在你們中間的外人同歸一例。」
There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.
50 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列眾人就怎樣行了。
And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.
51 正當那日，耶和華將以色列人按着他們的軍隊，從埃及地領出來。
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.
