< Exodus 12 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
Antan Moyiz ak Arawon te nan peyi Lejip la, Seyè a di yo:
2 Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.
-Se mwa sa a k'ap premye mwa pou nou nan lanne a. Se limenm k'ap anvan tout lòt mwa yo.
3 Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:
Pale tout moun pèp Izrayèl la. Di yo: sou dizyèm jou mwa sa a, n'a pran yon ti mouton pou chak fanmi, tande byen wi, yon ti mouton pou chak kay.
4 And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
Si pa gen kont moun nan kay la pou manje tout ti mouton an, se pou yo mete tèt yo ansanm ak vwazinaj ki pi pre kay la. N'a kalkile kantite moun ki nesesè pou manje mouton an, sa chak moun ka manje.
5 Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:
Se pou ti bèt nou chwazi a yon timal ki gen ennan, epi ki pa gen ankenn enfimite, li te mèt mouton, li te mèt kabrit.
6 Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.
N'a gade l' apa jouk sou katòzyèm jou mwa a. Jou sa a, nan aswè, tout moun Izrayèl yo va touye ti bèt la anvan li fin fè nwa.
7 Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.
N'a pran ti gout nan san bèt la, n'a pase l' sou de chanbrann pòt kay la ansanm ak sou travès lento pòt la, nan kay kote n'ap manje ti bèt la.
8 And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.
Menm nwit sa a, n'a boukannen vyann lan. Apre sa, n'a manje l' avèk pen ki fèt san ledven epi ak fèy lanman.
9 Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.
Piga nou manje vyann lan ni manke kwit ni bouyi. Se boukannen pou nou boukannen l' tout ankè ak tout tonbe a.
10 Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.
Pa kite anyen pou denmen maten. Si rete rès, se pou nou boule l' nan dife.
11 And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
Men ki jan pou nou ranje kò nou pou nou manje l': n'a mare ren nou, sapat nou nan pye nou, baton nou nan men nou. Se pou nou manje l' prese prese, paske se lè sa a Seyè a ap pase.
12 For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.
Jou lannwit sa a, m'ap pase nan tout peyi Lejip la, m'ap touye tout premye pitit gason ak tout premye pitit bèt yo ki nan peyi a. M'ap regle tout bondye peyi Lejip yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
13 And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.
San nou pase sou pòt yo va make kay kote nou ye a. Lè m'a wè san an, m'a sote kay nou. Konsa, lè m'ap frape peyi Lejip la, chatiman an p'ap tonbe sou nou tou.
14 And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.
Jou sa a, se yon jou pou nou pa janm bliye. Se pou nou fete l' tankou yon fèt pou Seyè a, chak lè lè a va rive. Se pou nou pase yon lwa pou nou toujou fete fèt sa a, nou menm ak tout pitit pitit nou yo.
15 For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.
Pandan sèt jou, se pou nou manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Depi premye jou nan mwa a, n'a wete tout ledven anndan lakay nou, paske depi premye jou a, rive sou setyèm jou a, si yon moun gen malè manje pen ki gen ledven ladan l', se pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
16 And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.
Sou premye jou a ak sou setyèm jou a, n'a reyini pou nou lapriyè. Jou sa yo, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay. Manje ase n'a fè pou tout moun manje.
17 So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.
N'a toujou fete fèt pen san ledven an, paske se jou sa a mwen te fè tout lame moun nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip. N'a toujou fete fèt sa a, de pitit an pitit tankou yon lwa ki la pou tout tan.
18 In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
Nan premye mwa a, depi katòzyèm jou a nan aswè rive jouk sou venteyenyèm jou a nan aswè tou, se pen san ledven pou nou manje.
19 For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.
Pandan sèt jou sa yo, p'ap gen ledven lakay nou paske nenpòt moun ki va gen malè manje pen ki gen ledven, yo gen pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la, kit se yon etranje, kit se yonn nan nou.
20 Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.
Se pa pou nou manje pen ki gen ledven. Lakay nou, se pou tout moun manje pen san ledven.
21 Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.
Moyiz rele tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, li di yo: -Se pou chak moun al chache yon ti mouton osinon yon ti kabrit pou yo touye pou fèt delivrans lan pou fanmi nou.
22 And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.
Apre sa, n'a pran yon branch izòp, n'a tranpe l' nan kivèt ki gen san bèt la. N'a pase l' sou de chanbrann pòt la ak sou travès lento a. Apre sa, piga pesonn soti deyò lakay yo jouk li jou.
23 For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.
Konsa, lè Seyè a va pase nan peyi Lejip la pou touye moun peyi Lejip yo, l'a wè san an sou chanbrann yo ak sou lento a, l'ap pase devan pòt la, li p'ap kite moun ki reskonsab pou touye a antre lakay nou pou touye nou.
24 And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.
N'a fè tout bagay sa yo sèvi tankou yon lwa ki la pou tout tan, ni pou nou ni pou pitit nou yo.
25 And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.
Lè n'a antre nan peyi Seyè a pral ban nou an, jan l' te pwomèt la, se pou nou toujou fè seremoni sa a.
26 And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?
Lè timoun nou yo va mande nou sa seremoni sa a vle di,
27 Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
n'a reponn yo: Se fèt Delivrans lan n'ap fete pou Seyè a, paske li te sote kay moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan peyi Lejip, lè li t'ap touye moun peyi Lejip yo. Konsa li pa t' fè nou anyen. Apre tout pawòl sa yo, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo met ajenou, yo bese tèt yo atè pou adore Seyè a.
28 And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Lèfini, yo leve, y' ale, yo fè tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz ak Arawon lòd fè a. Wi, yo fè tout bagay jan li te bay lòd la.
29 And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.
Nan mitan lannwit, Seyè a touye tout premye pitit gason moun peyi Lejip yo, depi premye pitit gason farawon an ki chita sou fotèy la, jouk premye pitit gason prizonye ki te nan kacho. Tout premye pitit bèt yo tou te mouri.
30 Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
Jou lannwit sa a, farawon an leve, li menm, tout chèf li yo ansanm ak tout pèp peyi Lejip la. Yon gwo rèl pete toupatou nan peyi Lejip, paske pa t' gen yon kay ki pa t' gen lanmò.
31 And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.
Nan mitan lannwit lan, farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Leve, ale fè wout nou! Wete kò nou nan mitan pèp mwen an, nou menm ansanm ak moun pèp Izrayèl la. Ale, mwen di nou. Al fè sèvis pou Seyè a jan nou te di a.
32 And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.
Nou mèt pran mouton nou ak bèf nou yo, jan nou te di l' la. Epi mande Bondye pou l' beni mwen.
33 And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.
Moun peyi Lejip yo te cho cho dèyè moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou fè yo prese kite peyi a. Yo t'ap di: -Si nou pa ale, nou tout ap mouri!
34 And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pran pa t' farin lan san yo pa t' ankò mete ledven ladan l'. Yo mete yo sou platin fou yo, yo vlope yo nan rad yo, yo mete yo sou zepòl yo.
35 And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te fè sa Moyiz te di yo a. Yo mande moun peyi Lejip yo bijou an ajan, bijou an lò ansanm ak rad.
36 And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.
Seyè a te fè moun peyi Lejip yo gen kè sansib pou pèp Izrayèl la. Yo ba yo tou sa yo te mande. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pran tout bagay moun peyi Lejip yo.
37 And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati kite Ranmsès pou Soukòt. Te gen sisanmil (600,000) moun konsa, san konte fanm ak timoun. Yo tout te apye.
38 And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.
Te gen anpil moun lòt peyi tou ki te pati ansanm ak yo. Te gen anpil mouton, kabrit ak bèf tou.
39 And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.
Avèk pa t' farin yo te pote soti peyi Lejip la, yo fè pen. Pen yo te san ledven, paske yo te prese mete yo deyò nan peyi Lejip la. Yo pa t' menm gen tan fè pwovizyon.
40 Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te pase katsantrantan nan peyi Lejip la.
41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
Menm jou ki te fè yo katsantrantan nan peyi a, jou pou jou, tout lame moun Seyè a soti kite peyi Lejip la.
42 It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
Se te yon jou lannwit. Seyè a te pase tout nwit la ap veye pou fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Se poutèt sa, se pou yo mete nwit sa a apa pou yo fè veye pou Seyè a. Se bagay pou yo toujou fè de pitit an pitit.
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:
Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon konsa: -Men ki jan pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan. Pou konmanse, ankenn moun lòt nasyon pa gen dwa patisipe ladan l'.
44 But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.
Domestik nou achte pou sèvis lakay nou, lè nou fin sikonsi yo, yo mèt patisipe.
45 A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.
Men, ni moun lòt nasyon ki depasaj lakay nou, ni domestik k'ap travay pou lajan pa ka patisipe nan fèt la.
46 It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.
Se pou nou manje manje Delivrans lan anndan kay. Vyann lan pa fèt pou soti deyò menm. Ni nou pa fèt pou kraze ankenn zo bèt nou touye yo.
47 All Israel is to keep the feast.
Se pou tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt fete fèt sa a.
48 And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.
Si gen yon moun lòt nasyon ki rete nan peyi a epi ki ta vle fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, men sa pou nou fè: Sè pou nou sikonsi tout gason lakay li anvan. Apre sa, l'a gen dwa fete fèt Delivrans lan. y'a konsidere l' tankou moun natif natal pèp Izrayèl la. Si yon gason pa sikonsi, li pa ka patisipe nan fèt la.
49 The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.
Lòd sa a bon ni pou natif natal yo ni pou moun lòt nasyon ki rete nan peyi a nan mitan nou.
50 So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.
Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te swiv lòd la, yo te fè sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz ak Arawon lòd fè a.
51 And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Se jou sa a Seyè a te fè tout lame moun Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip la.
