< Exodus 12 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,
2 This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you amongst the months of the year.
“Ko e māhina ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi māhina: ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e ʻuluaki māhina ʻi he taʻu.”
3 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.
Mo lea ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ni, te nau toʻo kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻe he tangata ha lami, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai, ko e lami ki he fale:
4 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.
Pea kapau ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau nofoʻanga ki ha lami, ke toʻo ia ʻe ia mo hono kaungāʻapi ʻoku na fale vāofi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe kakai; ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe kau ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene kai ʻi homou lau ki he lami.
5 It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: you shall take it of the lambs and the kids.
ʻE haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou lami taʻehanomele, ko e manu tangata ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu: te mou toʻo ia mei he fanga sipi, pe mei he fanga kosi.
6 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 towards evening.
Pea te mou talitalifaki ʻaki ia ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia: pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he efiafi poʻuli.
7 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.
Pea te nau ʻave ʻa hono toto ʻo vali ʻaki ia ʻae pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻakau fakalava ʻi he ʻulu matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoku nau kai ai ia.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall eat unleavened [bread] with bitter herbs.
Pea te nau kai hono kakano ʻi he pō ko ia, kuo tunu ʻaki ʻae afi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani; te nau kai ia mo e ngaahi louʻakau kona.
9 You shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
ʻOua naʻa kai ʻota ia, pe haka ʻi he vai, ka ko e tunu pe ʻaki ʻae afi: ko hono ʻulu, mo e kau vaʻe, mo hono toʻotoʻonga.
10 Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it you shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning you shall burn with fire.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatoe hano potu ki he ʻapongipongi; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ki he ʻapongipongi te mou tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.
11 And thus shall you eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staves in your hands, and you shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
Pea te mou kai pehē ia; kuo nonoʻo homou vala, kuo ʻai homou topuvaʻe ʻi homou vaʻe, mo homou tokotoko ʻi homou nima; pea te mou kai fakatoʻotoʻo ia; ko e Lakaatu ia ʻa Sihova.
12 and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord.
“He te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite he poōni, pea te u taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu; pea ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻIsipite te u fai ʻeku fakaʻauha ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova.
13 And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I strike in the land of Egypt.
Pea ko e toto, ʻe hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku mou ʻi ai: ʻo kau ka mamata ki he toto, teu laka atu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻauha kiate kimoutolu ke mou mate ai ʻo kau ka taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite.
14 And this day shall be to you a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; you shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.
Pea ko e ʻaho ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamanatu: pea te mou tauhi ia ʻo fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata tuku fakaholo: te mou tauhi ia ko e kātoanga ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.”
15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day you 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.
“Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani; ʻio, ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻaho te mou tukuange ʻae lēvani mei homou ngaahi fale: he ko ia ʻoku kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo aʻu ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻe motuhi ia mei ʻIsileli.
16 And the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: you 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.
Pea ʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe fai ʻekimoutolu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni: ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻe fai ʻi ai, ka koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ko ia pe ʻe ngofua ke fai.
17 And you shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and you shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.
Pea te mou tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani; koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻaho totonu ko ʻeni, kuo u ʻomi ai homou ngaahi kautau mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko ia te mou fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae ʻaho ni ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.
18 Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, you shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.
ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻi he efiafi, te mou kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani, ʻo aʻu ki hono uofulu ma taha ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi.
19 Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both amongst the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻi homou ngaahi fale; he ko ia ʻoku kai ʻaia kuo fakalēvani, ʻe motuhi ia mei he fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko ha muli ia, pe ko ha tupu ʻi he fonua.
20 You shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your you shall eat unleavened bread.
ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ha meʻa kuo ʻi ai ʻae lēvani; ʻi homou ngaahi nofoʻanga kotoa pē te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani.
21 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 kindred, and kill the passover.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vaheʻi ʻo toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lami ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu.
22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, you shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but you shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.
Pea te mou toʻo ʻae ʻū ʻisope ʻo unu ia ki he toto ʻoku ʻi he ipu, ʻo vali ʻae potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua ʻoe matapā ʻaki ʻae toto ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ipu; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale kituaʻā kaeʻoua ke pongipongi hake.
23 And the Lord shall pass by to strike 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 strike [you].
Koeʻuhi ʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite: pea ka ʻafio ia ki he toto ʻi he potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua, ʻe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova ʻi he matapā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fakaʻauha ke hū ki homou fale ke taaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
24 And keep you this thing as an ordinance for yourself and for your children for ever.
Pea te mou tokanga maʻu ki he meʻa ni, ko e fekau kiate koe mo ho ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
25 And if you should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, te mou fai ʻae ngāue ni.
26 And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka fehuʻi hoʻomou fānau kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngāue ni?’
27 that you 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 struck the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
Te mou pehē: ‘Ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne laka atu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fakamoʻui homau fale. Pea naʻe fakapunou hifo honau ʻulu ʻe he kakai ʻo hū.
28 And the people bowed and worshipped. And the children of Israel departed and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
29 And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao that sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all cattle.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻuapō, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae pōpula ʻi he fale fakapōpula; pea mo e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu.
30 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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Felo ʻi he pō, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi ʻIsipite: he naʻe ʻikai hala ha fale ʻi he taʻeʻiai-ha-taha kuo mate.
31 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both you and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as you say.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻi he poʻuli ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, Tuʻu hake pea mou ʻalu atu mei hoku kakai, ʻakimoua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea.
32 And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
ʻAve mo hoʻomou ngaahi fanga sipi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou tala, pea mou ʻalu; pea mou tāpuaki foki au.
33 And the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.
Pea naʻe fai mālohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau tukuange fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu mei he fonua; he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo tau mate kotoa pē.
34 And the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up [as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻenau mā ʻe he kakai ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae lēvani; mo e nau ngaahi natuʻanga mā, kuo haʻi fakataha mo e nau ngaahi kofu ki honau uma.
35 And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mōsese; naʻa nau kole mei he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu;
36 And the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, ko ia naʻa nau tuku ai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa. Pea naʻa nau fakamasivaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite.
37 And the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
Pea fononga ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei Lamisisi ki Sukote, ko e kau tangata hāʻele, ko e toko ono kilu nai, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae fānau.
38 And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kakai kehe tokolahi: mo e ngaahi fanga sipi mo e fanga manu, ʻae fuʻu fanga manu lahi.
39 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.
Pea naʻa nau taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻehalēvani, ʻi he mā naʻa nau ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, he naʻe ʻikai ai ʻae lēvani; koeʻuhi naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai [te nau ]faʻa tatali, pea naʻe teʻeki te nau teuteu haʻanau meʻakai.
40 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.
Pea ko e nofo ʻāunofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻIsipite, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofolu.
41 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.
Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻio, naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻae ʻalu ai ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻa Sihova mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
42 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.
Ko e pō ko ia ke tokanga lahi ki ai maʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko e pō eni ia ʻo Sihova ke fakamanatu ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē.
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no stranger shall eat of it.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, “Ko eni ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu: ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli:
44 And every slave or servant bought with money—him you shall circumcise, and then shall he eat of it.
Ka ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga, hili hao kamu ia, ʻe toki kai ia ʻe ia.
45 A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.
ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli, pe ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue totongi.
46 In one house shall it be eaten, and you shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it you shall not break.
ʻE kai ia ʻi he fale pe taha: ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave kituaʻā mei he fale ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano; pea ʻoua naʻa mou fesiʻi hano hui.
47 All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
ʻE fai ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
48 And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, you shall 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.
Pea ka ʻāunofo ha muli kiate koe, pea loto ia ke fai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova, tuku ke kamu ʻene kakai tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki ngofua ke haʻu ia ʻo fai: pea ʻe tatau ia mo ha tokotaha naʻe tupu ʻi he fonua: ʻe ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu.
49 There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming amongst you.
ʻE ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate ia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fonua, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.”
50 And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
51 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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he pō pe ko ia, ʻae ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae fānau ʻe ʻIsileli kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau.
