出埃及記 12
1 耶和華在埃及地曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
And Jehovah 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 unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
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 unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.
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 the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count 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。
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
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 ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
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 put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
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 that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
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 eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
10 不可剩下一點留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火燒了。
And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until 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 shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
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 through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.
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 you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite 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 unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
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 shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day — that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
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 on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person — that 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 the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.
18 從正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你們要吃無酵餅。
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the 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 shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened — that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
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: in all your dwellings shall ye 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 Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill 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 take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until 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 Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come 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 ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons 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 it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall 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, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by 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, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西、亞倫，以色列人就怎樣行。
And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had 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 that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of 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 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in 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 he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32 也依你們所說的，連羊群牛群帶着走吧！並要為我祝福。」
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
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 urged 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 it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon 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 had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
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 Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave 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 of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
38 又有許多閒雜人，並有羊群牛群，和他們一同上去。
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds — 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 that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt 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 at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
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 night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in 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 Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance 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。
but every man's bondman that is bought for money — let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
45 寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
A settler and a hired servant shall not eat 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; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 以色列全會眾都要守這禮。
All the assembly of Israel shall hold 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 when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 本地人和寄居在你們中間的外人同歸一例。」
One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth 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 all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
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 on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
