Exodus 12
1 The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
Yehova anayankhula kwa Mose ndi Aaroni mʼdziko la Igupto kuti,
2 “This month will be for you the beginning of the months. It will be first in the months of the year.
“Mwezi uno uzikhala mwezi wanu woyamba wa chaka.
3 Speak to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day of this month, let everyone take a lamb, by their families and houses.
Muliwuze khamu lonse la Israeli kuti pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi uno, munthu aliyense asankhire banja lake mwana wankhosa mmodzi. Banja lililonse litenge mwana wankhosa mmodzi.
4 But if the number is less than may suffice to be able to consume the lamb, he shall accept his neighbor, who has been joined with his house according to the number of souls that may suffice to be able to eat the lamb.
Ngati banja lili lochepa moti silingathe kudya nyama yonse ya nkhosa, ligawane ndi banja lomwe layandikana nalo nyumba. Mabanja adziwiretu chiwerengero cha anthu amene alipo pokonzekera zimenezi. Muwerengere kuchuluka kwa nyama imene anthu adzadye potengera mmene munthu mmodzi angadyere.
5 And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a one year old male. According to this rite, you shall also take a young goat.
Ziweto zimene musankhe ziyenera kukhala zazimuna za chaka chimodzi, zopanda chilema, ndipo zikhale nkhosa kapena mbuzi.
6 And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel shall immolate it toward evening.
Muzisunge mpaka tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi, pamene gulu lonse la Aisraeli lidzaphe nyamazo madzulo.
7 And they shall take from its blood, and place it on both the door posts and the upper threshold of the houses, in which they will consume it.
Ndipo adzatengeko magazi anyamazo ndi kuwaza pa mphuthu ziwiri za chitseko ndiponso pamwamba pa chitseko cha nyumba mmene adzadyeremo ana ankhosawo.
8 And that night they shall eat the flesh, roasted by fire, and unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
Adzawotche nyamayo ndi kudya usiku womwewo, ndipo adzayidye ndi buledi wophikidwa popanda yisiti pamodzi ndi masamba wowawa.
9 You shall not consume anything from it raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted by fire. You shall devour the head with its feet and entrails.
Musadzadye yayiwisi kapena yophika, koma mudzawotche yonse, mutu, miyendo ndi zamʼmimba.
10 Neither shall there remain anything from it until morning. If anything will have been left over, you shall burn it with fire.
Musadzasiye nyama ina mpaka mmawa, ngati ina idzatsala mpaka mmawa, mudzayitenthe.
11 Now you shall consume it in this way: You shall gird your waist, and you shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you shall consume it in haste. For it is the Passover (that is, the Crossing) of the Lord.
Muzidzadya nyamayo mutavala chotere, pokonzekera ulendo: mudzazimangirire lamba mʼchiwuno, nsapato zanu kuphazi ndi ndodo yanu kumanja. Mudzadye mofulumira. Imeneyi ndi Paska ya Yehova.
12 And I will cross through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man, even to cattle. And I will bring judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
“Usiku umenewo Ine ndidzadutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndipo ndidzapha chilichonse choyamba kubadwa kuyambira mwana wa munthu aliyense mpaka ana aziweto. Ndidzalanganso milungu yonse ya Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova.
13 But the blood will be for you as a sign in the buildings where you will be. And I will see the blood, and I will pass over you. And the plague will not be with you to destroy, when I strike the land of Egypt.
Magazi amene mudzawaze pa mphuthu za zitseko ndi pamwamba pa zitseko aja adzakhala ngati chizindikiro. Ine ndikadzaona magaziwo ndidzakudutsani, ndipo ndikadzamakantha anthu a Igupto, mliri wosakazawu sudzakukhudzani.
14 Then you shall have this day as a memorial, and you shall celebrate it as a solemnity to the Lord, in your generations, as an everlasting devotion.
“Ili ndi tsiku la chikumbutso. Tsiku limeneli muzidzachita chikondwerero, kupembedza Yehova. Mibado yonse imene ikubwera izidzakumbukira tsiku limeneli ngati lamulo lamuyaya ndi kuti pa tsikuli azidzachita chikondwerero cholemekeza Yehova.
15 For seven days, you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day there shall be no leaven in your houses. Whoever will consume anything leavened, from the first day, even until the seventh day, that soul shall perish from Israel.
Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri muzidya buledi wopanda yisiti. Tsiku loyamba muzichotsa yisiti mʼnyumba zanu, ngati aliyense adzadya kanthu kalikonse kali ndi yisiti kuyambira tsiku loyamba mpaka tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, munthu ameneyo adzayenera kuchotsedwa mʼgulu la Israeli.
16 The first day shall be holy and solemn, and the seventh day shall be venerated with the same festivity. You shall do no work in these days, except that which pertains to the eating.
Pa tsiku loyamba muzichita msonkhano wopatulika, ndipo winanso uzikhala pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri. Musamagwire ntchito masiku onsewa, koma ntchito yokonza chakudya yokha kuti aliyense adye. Izi ndi zimene muzichita.
17 And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. For on this same day, I will lead your army out of the land of Egypt, and you shall keep this day, in your generations, as a perpetual ritual.
“Muzichita chikondwerero cha buledi wopanda yisiti, chifukwa ndi pa tsiku limeneli ndinatulutsa magulu anu mʼdziko la Igupto. Muzikondwerera tsiku limeneli pa mibado yonse ngati lamulo lamuyaya.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, toward evening, you shall consume the unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the same month, toward evening.
Mwezi woyamba muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti kuyambira madzulo tsiku la 14 la mweziwo mpaka tsiku la 21 mwezi womwewo.
19 For seven days, there shall not be found leaven in your houses. Whoever will eat leaven, his soul will perish from the assembly of Israel, as much with the newcomers as with the natives of the land.
Yisiti asamapezeka mʼnyumba zanu kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Ndipo aliyense amene adya chakudya chimene muli yisiti, munthu ameneyo ayenera kuchotsedwa mʼgulu la Aisraeli, kaya iyeyo ndi mlendo kapena mbadwa.
20 You shall not consume any leaven. In all your dwelling places, you shall eat unleavened bread.”
Musadye chilichonse chokhala ndi yisiti. Kulikonse kumene mukukhala, muyenera kudya buledi wopanda yisiti.”
21 Then Moses called all the elders of the sons of Israel, and he said to them: “Go, taking an animal by your families, and sacrifice the Passover.
Ndipo Mose anasonkhanitsa akuluakulu onse a Israeli nati, “Pitani msanga kukasankha nkhosa zokwanira pa mabanja anu, ndipo muziphe ngati Paska.
22 And dip a little bundle of hyssop in the blood which is at the entrance, and sprinkle the upper threshold with it, and both of the door posts. Let none of you go out of the door of his house until morning.
Mutengenso nthambi ya chitsamba cha hisope, muchiviyike mʼmagazi amene mwawayika mʼbeseni ndipo muwaze ena mwa magaziwo pamwamba ndi mʼmbali mwa mphuthu za chitseko. Palibe aliyense wa inu amene adzatuluke mʼnyumba yake mpaka mmawa.
23 For the Lord will cross through, striking the Egyptians. And when he will see the blood on the upper threshold, and on both the door posts, he will pass over the door of the house and not permit the Striker to enter into your houses or to do harm.
Pamene Yehova adzadutsa mʼdziko kudzakantha Aigupto, nʼkuona magazi pamwamba ndi mʼmbali mwa mphuthu za chitseko, Iye adzadutsa khomo limenelo ndipo sadzalola woonongayo kuti alowe mʼnyumba zanu kuti akukantheni.
24 You shall keep this word as a law for you and for your sons, forever.
“Muzimvera malamulo amenewa kwa muyaya, inu ndi zidzukulu zanu.
25 And when you have entered into the land that the Lord will give to you, just as he has promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
Mukakalowa mʼdziko limene Yehova adzakupatseni monga analonjeza, mukasunge mwambo umenewu.
26 And when your sons will say to you, ‘What is the meaning of this religious observance?’
Ndipo ana anu akakakufunsani kuti, ‘Mwambo umenewu ukutanthauza chiyani?’
27 You shall say to them: ‘It is the victim of the crossing of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and freeing our houses.’” And the people, bowing down, worshipped.
Inu mukawawuze kuti, ‘Ndi nsembe ya Paska ya Yehova, popeza pamene ankakantha nyumba za Aigupto anasiya nyumba zathu.’” Kenaka anthu anawerama napembedza.
28 And the sons of Israel, departing, did just as the Lord had instructed Moses and Aaron.
Aisraeli anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndi Aaroni.
29 Then it happened, in the middle of the night: the Lord struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the captive woman who was in prison, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
Pakati pa usiku Yehova anakantha ana onse oyamba kubadwa mʼdziko la Igupto, kuyambira woyamba kubadwa wa Farao, amene amakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Faraoyo, mpaka mwana woyamba kubadwa wa munthu amene anali mʼdzenje, pamodzinso ndi ana oyamba kubadwa a ziweto zawo.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, and all his servants, and all of Egypt. And there arose a great outcry in Egypt. For there was not a house in which no one lay dead.
Farao ndi nduna zake zonse ndiponso Aigupto onse anadzuka pakati pa usiku, ndipo kunali kulira kwakukulu mʼdziko lonse la Igupto, pakuti panalibe nyumba imene munalibe munthu wakufa.
31 And Pharaoh, calling Moses and Aaron in the night, said: “Rise up and go forth from among my people, you and the sons of Israel. Go, sacrifice to the Lord, just as you say.
Pakati pa usiku Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Nyamukani! Asiyeni anthu anga, inu ndi Aisraeli! Pitani, kapembedzeni Yehova monga munapempha.
32 Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you requested, and as you go away, bless me.”
Tengani ziweto ndi ngʼombe zanu ndipo pitani kapembedzeni Mulungu wanu monga munanenera kuti ine ndidalitsike.”
33 And the Egyptians urged the people to go away from the land quickly, saying, “We will all die.”
Aigupto anawawumiriza anthuwo kuti atuluke mofulumira ndi kusiya dziko lawo. Iwo anati, “Ngati sitiwalola kutero, tonse tidzafa.”
34 Therefore, the people took bread dough before it was leavened. And tying it in their cloaks, they placed it on their shoulders.
Motero anthuwo ananyamula ufa wawo wopangira buledi asanathiremo yisiti ndipo anasenza pa mapewa awo pamodzi ndi zokandiramo buledi atazikulunga mu nsalu.
35 And the sons of Israel did just as Moses had instructed. And they petitioned the Egyptians for vessels of silver and of gold, and very many garments.
Aisraeli anachita monga anawawuzira Mose kuti apemphe kwa Aigupto zozikongoletsera zasiliva ndi zagolide ndi zovala.
36 Then the Lord granted favor to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they bestowed on them. And they despoiled the Egyptians.
Yehova anafewetsa mtima Aigupto kuti akomere mtima Aisraeliwo ndipo anawapatsa zimene anawapempha. Motero Aisraeli anawalanda zinthu Aigupto.
37 And the sons of Israel set out from Rameses to Soccoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides little ones.
Aisraeli anayenda ulendo kuchokera ku Ramesesi mpaka kukafika ku Sukoti. Anthu aamuna oyenda pansi analipo 600,000 osawerengera akazi ndi ana.
38 But also an innumerable mix of common people ascended with them, sheep and herds and animals of diverse kinds, exceedingly many.
Anthu enanso ambiri anapita nawo, kuphatikizanso gulu lalikulu la ziweto, mbuzi, nkhosa pamodzi ndi ngʼombe.
39 And they baked the bread, which a little while ago they had taken out of Egypt as dough. And they made unleavened bread baked under ashes. For it was not able to be leavened, with the Egyptians compelling them to leave and not permitting them to cause any delay. Neither did they have occasion to prepare any meat.
Iwo anapanga buledi wopanda yisiti ndi ufa umene anachoka nawo ku Igupto. Ufawo unalibe yisiti chifukwa anachita kuthamangitsidwa ku Igupto ndipo analibe nthawi yokonzera chakudya chawo.
40 Now the habitation of the sons of Israel, while they remained in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Ndipo Aisraeli anakhala ku Igupto kwa zaka 430.
41 Having been completed, on the same day all the army of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt.
Pa tsiku lomwelo limene anakwanitsa zaka 430, magulu onse a Yehova anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
42 This night is a worthy observance of the Lord, when he led them out of the land of Egypt. This all the sons of Israel must observe in their generations.
Usiku wonse Yehova anachezera kutulutsa ana a Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto. Nʼchifukwa chake pa tsiku limeneli Aisraeli onse azichezera usiku wonse kulemekeza Mulungu kamba ka mibado yonse ya mʼtsogolo.
43 And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: “This is the religious observance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat from it.
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni, “Malamulo a Paska ndi awa: “Mlendo asadye Paska.
44 But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so he may eat from it.
Kapolo aliyense amene munagula angadye ngati atayamba wachita mdulidwe.
45 The newcomer and the hired hand shall not eat from it.
Koma amene mukukhala naye kwa kanthawi kapena waganyu asadye Paska.
46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry its flesh outside, nor shall you break its bone.
“Muzidyera Paska mʼnyumba imodzi. Musatulutse nyama iliyonse kunja kwa nyumba. Musaswe mafupa aliwonse.
47 The entire assembly of the sons of Israel shall do this.
Gulu lonse la Israeli lizichita mwambo wachikondwererochi.
48 And if any sojourner will be willing to cross over into your settlement, and to keep the Passover of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then he shall celebrate the rite. And he shall be just like a native of the land. But if any man is not circumcised, he shall not eat from it.
“Ngati mlendo wokhala pakati panu angafune kuchita nawo mwambo wa chikondwerero cha Paska, cha Yehovachi, amuna onse a mʼnyumba mwake ayenera kuchita mdulidwe. Akatero muzimutenga ngati mbadwa pakati panu. Koma aliyense wosachita mdulidwe asadye Paska.
49 The law shall be the same for the native born and for the settler who sojourns with you.”
Lamulo limeneli likhudza mbadwa ngakhalenso alendo wochita mdulidwe wokhala pakati panu.
50 And all the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses and Aaron.
“Aisraeli onse anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndi Aaroni.
51 And on the same day, the Lord led the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
Ndipo tsiku lomwelo Yehova anatulutsa gulu lonse la ana a Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto.”
