Exodus 12
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Yehova anayankhula kwa Mose ndi Aaroni mʼdziko la Igupto kuti,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
“Mwezi uno uzikhala mwezi wanu woyamba wa chaka.
3 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.
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 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.
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 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
Ziweto zimene musankhe ziyenera kukhala zazimuna za chaka chimodzi, zopanda chilema, ndipo zikhale nkhosa kapena mbuzi.
6 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.
Muzisunge mpaka tsiku la khumi ndi chinayi la mwezi, pamene gulu lonse la Aisraeli lidzaphe nyamazo madzulo.
7 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.
Ndipo adzatengeko magazi anyamazo ndi kuwaza pa mphuthu ziwiri za chitseko ndiponso pamwamba pa chitseko cha nyumba mmene adzadyeremo ana ankhosawo.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
Adzawotche nyamayo ndi kudya usiku womwewo, ndipo adzayidye ndi buledi wophikidwa popanda yisiti pamodzi ndi masamba wowawa.
9 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.
Musadzadye yayiwisi kapena yophika, koma mudzawotche yonse, mutu, miyendo ndi zamʼmimba.
10 And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Musadzasiye nyama ina mpaka mmawa, ngati ina idzatsala mpaka mmawa, mudzayitenthe.
11 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
Mwezi woyamba muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti kuyambira madzulo tsiku la 14 la mweziwo mpaka tsiku la 21 mwezi womwewo.
19 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.
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 Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Musadye chilichonse chokhala ndi yisiti. Kulikonse kumene mukukhala, muyenera kudya buledi wopanda yisiti.”
21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.
Ndipo Mose anasonkhanitsa akuluakulu onse a Israeli nati, “Pitani msanga kukasankha nkhosa zokwanira pa mabanja anu, ndipo muziphe ngati Paska.
22 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.
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 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].
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 And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
“Muzimvera malamulo amenewa kwa muyaya, inu ndi zidzukulu zanu.
25 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.
Mukakalowa mʼdziko limene Yehova adzakupatseni monga analonjeza, mukasunge mwambo umenewu.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
Ndipo ana anu akakakufunsani kuti, ‘Mwambo umenewu ukutanthauza chiyani?’
27 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.
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 children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
Aisraeli anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndi Aaroni.
29 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.
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, 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.
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 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.
Pakati pa usiku Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Nyamukani! Asiyeni anthu anga, inu ndi Aisraeli! Pitani, kapembedzeni Yehova monga munapempha.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
Tengani ziweto ndi ngʼombe zanu ndipo pitani kapembedzeni Mulungu wanu monga munanenera kuti ine ndidalitsike.”
33 And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!
Aigupto anawawumiriza anthuwo kuti atuluke mofulumira ndi kusiya dziko lawo. Iwo anati, “Ngati sitiwalola kutero, tonse tidzafa.”
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon 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 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.
Aisraeli anachita monga anawawuzira Mose kuti apemphe kwa Aigupto zozikongoletsera zasiliva ndi zagolide ndi zovala.
36 And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
Yehova anafewetsa mtima Aigupto kuti akomere mtima Aisraeliwo ndipo anawapatsa zimene anawapempha. Motero Aisraeli anawalanda zinthu Aigupto.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
Aisraeli anayenda ulendo kuchokera ku Ramesesi mpaka kukafika ku Sukoti. Anthu aamuna oyenda pansi analipo 600,000 osawerengera akazi ndi ana.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds — very much cattle.
Anthu enanso ambiri anapita nawo, kuphatikizanso gulu lalikulu la ziweto, mbuzi, nkhosa pamodzi ndi ngʼombe.
39 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.
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 And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Ndipo Aisraeli anakhala ku Igupto kwa zaka 430.
41 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.
Pa tsiku lomwelo limene anakwanitsa zaka 430, magulu onse a Yehova anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
42 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.
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 Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;
Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni, “Malamulo a Paska ndi awa: “Mlendo asadye Paska.
44 but every man's bondman that is bought for money — let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
Kapolo aliyense amene munagula angadye ngati atayamba wachita mdulidwe.
45 A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.
Koma amene mukukhala naye kwa kanthawi kapena waganyu asadye Paska.
46 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.
“Muzidyera Paska mʼnyumba imodzi. Musatulutse nyama iliyonse kunja kwa nyumba. Musaswe mafupa aliwonse.
47 All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.
Gulu lonse la Israeli lizichita mwambo wachikondwererochi.
48 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.
“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 One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
Lamulo limeneli likhudza mbadwa ngakhalenso alendo wochita mdulidwe wokhala pakati panu.
50 And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
“Aisraeli onse anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndi Aaroni.
51 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.
Ndipo tsiku lomwelo Yehova anatulutsa gulu lonse la ana a Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto.”
