Exodus 12
1 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu nʼala Ijipt sị ha,
2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
“Ọnwa a ga-abụrụ unu isi ọnwa. Ọ ga-abụ ọnwa mbụ nke ọnwa niile nʼafọ unu.
3 Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.
Gwa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, Nʼafọ ọbụla, nʼabalị iri nke ọnwa a, nwoke ọbụla ga-eweta nwa atụrụ nʼisi ezinaụlọ ọbụla.
4 If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.
Ezinaụlọ ọbụla nke dịkarịrị nta, nke na-enweghị ike iweta na iricha otu nwa atụrụ, ga-ejekwuru ezinaụlọ ọzọ dịkwa nta, ka ha jikọtaa onwe ha ọnụ weta nwa atụrụ. Ndị ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ aghaghị ibu ụzọ pịa mmadụ ole ha ga-adị nwee ike richaa otu atụrụ.
5 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
Nwa atụrụ a ga-eweta ga-abụ oke gbara naanị otu afọ, nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla nʼahụ ya. Unu nwere ike họrọ atụrụ maọbụ ewu.
6 You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.
Unu ga-elekọta ya anya ruo nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa a. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ ka ọgbakọ Izrel niile ga-egbu ya.
7 They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
Ha ga-ewere ọbara ya tee nʼelu na nʼakụkụ ibo ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼezinaụlọ ha niile, ebe ha ga-anọ rie anụ atụrụ ahụ.
8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Ha ga-eri anụ atụrụ a, nke a ga-ahụ nʼọkụ nʼabalị ahụ, ya na achịcha na-ekoghị eko, na ahịhịa ndụ na-elu ilu.
9 Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.
A gaghị eri nwa atụrụ ọbụla na ndụ, a gaghị esikwa ya esi, kama a ga-ahụ ya nʼọkụ. A ga-ahụ akụkụ ahụ nwa atụrụ ọbụla nʼọkụ, tinyere isi ya, ụkwụ ya na ihe dị nʼime afọ ya.
10 Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.
Unu agaghị erifọdụ ya ruo nʼụtụtụ echi ya. Nke ọbụla ga-afọdụ nʼabalị ahụ, a ga-akpọ ya ọkụ.
11 This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.
Otu a ka unu ga-esi rie ya: yirinụ uwe unu, na akpụkpọụkwụ unu. Jirikwanụ mkpara unu. Jikerenụ dịka ndị na-aga njem dị anya. Unu ga-eri anụ atụrụ a na achịcha na-ekoghị eko ngwangwa. A ga-akpọ oriri a Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị.
12 On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
“Aga m agafe nʼala Ijipt nʼabalị ahụ, igbu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ. Aga m emekwa ka ikpe ọmụma bịakwasị chi ndị ọzọ ahụ niile Ijipt na-efe ofufe. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
13 The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Ọbara ahụ unu ga-ete nʼọnụ ibo ụlọ unu ga-abụ ihe ama igosi ebe unu bi, nʼihi na mgbe m hụrụ ọbara ahụ, aga m agafe unu. Ọ nwekwaghị ihe otiti ga-abịakwasị unu mgbe m ga-egbu ndị Ijipt.
14 And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
“Ụbọchị a ga-abụrụ unu ihe ncheta nye ọgbọ niile ndị na-eso nʼazụ. Unu ga-emekwa ya ka ọ bụrụ mmemme nye Onyenwe anyị. Ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
15 For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
Ụbọchị asaa ka unu ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ụbọchị asaa ahụ, ka unu ga-esite nʼụlọ unu wezuga ihe iko achịcha niile, nʼihi na onye ọbụla riri nri nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya site nʼụbọchị mbụ ruo nʼụbọchị nke asaa, aghaghị ibipụ ya site nʼala Izrel.
16 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.
Unu ga-ewere ụbọchị mbụ na ụbọchị nke asaa, nke mmemme ahụ, nwee mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Onye ọbụla agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị abụọ ndị a, karịakwa isi nri unu ga-eri.
17 So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
“Unu ga-edobekwa mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime otu ụbọchị a ka m sitere nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu dịka usuu ndị agha. Unu ga-emekwa mmemme ụbọchị a ka ọ bụrụ ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ
18 In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
Nʼọnwa mbụ, nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị nke iri na anọ, ka unu ga-eri achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee ruo nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị iri abụọ na otu.
19 For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.
Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, agaghị ahụ ihe na-eko achịcha nʼụlọ unu. A ga-esite nʼọgbakọ ndị Izrel bipụ onye ọbụla riri ihe ọbụla nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya. Iwu a dịrị ndị ọbịa niile nʼala Izrel, dịkwara ndị nwa afọ ala.
20 You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”
Unu agaghị eri ihe ọbụla e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee. Nʼebe obibi unu niile, ọ bụ naanị achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka unu ga-eri.”
21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kpọkọtara ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ họpụta ụmụ atụrụ nʼihi agbụrụ unu niile, gbuonụ atụrụ ngabiga ndị a.
22 Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
Were ahịhịa hisọp, denye ya nʼọbara si nʼatụrụ ndị a nke a ga-awụnye nʼefere, tee ya nʼelu ibo na nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu agaghị apụ nʼezi tutu ruo ụtụtụ.
23 When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-agafe igbu ndị Ijipt, ọ ga-ahụ ọbara ahụ nʼawara na mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Ọ ga-agafe ụlọ unu, gharakwa ikwe ka onye mbibi bata nʼụlọ unu gbuo unu.
24 And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.
“Unu ga-edobe mmemme a dịka iwu ga-adịgide nye unu na ụmụ unu.
25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.
Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye unu dịka o kwere na nkwa, unu ga-edobe ofufe a.
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
Mgbe ụmụ unu ga-ajụ unu ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka ofufe a pụtara?’
27 you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
Unu ga-azaghachi ha sị, ‘Ọ bụ aja ngabiga anyị na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ gafere ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nʼala Ijipt, mgbe o gburu ndị Ijipt, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị o gburu.’”
28 And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
Ụmụ Izrel mezuru ihe niile Onyenwe anyị gwara ha site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
29 Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.
Nʼime etiti abalị ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gburu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, malite nʼọkpara Fero onye nọ nʼocheeze ya, ruo nʼọkpara nke onye Ijipt nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ olulu. O gbukwara ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ.
30 During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.
Nʼabalị ahụ kwa, Fero na ndị ozi ya, na ndị Ijipt niile biliri. Oke iti mkpu akwa dakwara nʼala Ijipt, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ezinaụlọ ọnwụ na-erughị.
31 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
Nʼotu abalị ahụ, Fero zipụrụ ozi ka a kpọ Mosis na Erọn. Mgbe ha bịara, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ngwa bilienụ, unu bụ ụmụ Izrel niile. Kewapụnụ onwe unu site nʼetiti anyị. Gaanụ, fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe dịka unu rịọrọ.
32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”
Durunụ igwe ehi na atụrụ unu mgbe unu na-aga. Gọziekwanụ m mgbe unu na-apụ.”
33 And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”
Ndị Ijipt gbalịrị ime ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ha ngwangwa. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ Izrel ahapụghị anyị ugbu a, anyị niile ga-anwụkwa.”
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel buuru ụtụ ọka e ji eme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nke ha tinyere nʼefere e ji agwakọta ya. Ha ji akwa kechie ha, bukwasị ha nʼubu ha.
35 Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.
Ha mekwara ihe ndị ọzọ dịka Mosis gwara ha. Ha rịọrọ ndị Ijipt ka ha nye ha ihe iji ngwa nke ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na uwe.
36 And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.
Onyenwe anyị nyere ndị ya amara nʼihu ndị Ijipt, ha nyere ha ihe niile ha rịọrọ. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, ụmụ Izrel napụtara ndị Ijipt ihe niile ha ji biri nʼụlọ.
37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ụmụ Izrel malitere ije ha site na Ramesis. Mgbe ha hapụrụ Ramesis, na-eje Sukọt, ha dị narị puku ndị ikom isii, na-agụghị ndị inyom na ụmụntakịrị.
38 And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ dị iche iche sooro ha nʼije ha. Ha dukwa igwe anụ ụlọ, igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, nke dị ukwu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
39 Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.
Ha ji ụtụ ọka ha si Ijipt buputa mee achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼihi na a chụpụrụ ha achụpụ site nʼIjipt, ha enweghị ezi ohere kwadooro onwe ha ihe oriri.
40 Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.
Tupu ha ahapụ ala Ijipt, ụmụ Izrel ebiela nʼebe ahụ narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ.
41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.
Mgbe narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ zuru, nʼụbọchị ahụ o zuru, usuu ndị Onyenwe anyị niile hapụrụ Ijipt.
42 Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.
Onyenwe anyị chere nche nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ maka ịkpọpụta ha site nʼala Ijipt. Nʼihi ya, abalị ụbọchị ahụ bụ mgbe pụrụ iche nye ụmụ Izrel maka iji iche nche sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼọgbọ ha niile.
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.
Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha sị, “Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara Mmemme Ngabiga: “Onye mba ọzọ agaghị eri anụ nwa atụrụ ahụ.
44 But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.
Ohu ọbụla a kwụrụ ụgwọ nʼisi ya ga-eri ya naanị ma e biri ya ugwu.
45 A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.
Ohu e goro ọrụ, maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla agaghị eri ya.
46 It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.
“A ga-eri ya naanị nʼime otu ụlọ. Ọ gaghị apụ nʼezi. Unu agaghị atapịa ọkpụkpụ ọbụla nke nwa atụrụ ahụ.
47 The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.
Nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel ga-eme Mmemme Ngabiga a.
48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
“Onye mba ọzọ bi nʼetiti unu chọrọ isoro unu na Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ibi ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya ugwu. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-abịaru nso isoro na mmemme, nʼihi na a ga-agụ ya dịka nwa afọ ala. Ọ dịghị onye ikom a na-ebighị ugwu ga-eri nri ahụ.
49 The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
Otu iwu a dịrị nwa afọ ala na ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼala Izrel.”
50 Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
Ụmụ Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
51 And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
Ọ bụkwa nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼala Ijipt dupụta ụmụ Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị.
