< Exodus 12 >

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron while they were still in Egypt,
Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa ne Alooni nga bali mu nsi y’e Misiri, n’abagamba nti,
2 “This month will be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
“Okuva leero omwezi guno gwe gunaabanga omubereberye mu myezi gyonna mu mwaka gwammwe.
3 Tell all the Israelites that on the tenth day of this month, every man must choose a lamb for his family, one for each household.
Mutegeeze abantu bonna aba Isirayiri nti ku lunaku olw’ekkumi olw’omwezi guno kigwanidde buli mukulu wa nnyumba, addire omwana gw’endiga ogw’okuliibwa mu maka ge, buli maka omwana gw’endiga gumu.
4 However, if the household is too small for a whole lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor may choose a lamb according to the total number of people. Divide up the lamb depending on what everybody can eat.
Singa amaka gabaamu abantu batono nnyo abatamalaawo mwana gwa ndiga, amaka ago geegatte n’ag’omuliraano balye omwana gw’endiga ogwo. Muligeraageranya obungi bw’abantu abamalawo omwana gw’endiga nga musinziira ku ndya ya buli omu mu maka omwo.
5 Your lamb must be a year-old male without any defects, and you can take it either from the sheep or the goats.
Omwana gw’endiga gusaana gube gwa seddume nga gwa mwaka gumu obukulu, era nga teguliiko kamogo. Guyinza okuba omwana gw’endiga oba ogw’embuzi.
6 Keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the Israelites will slaughter the animals after sunset and before it gets dark.
Ensolo ezo muzirabiriranga okutuusa ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi guno; ekibiina kyonna eky’abantu ba Isirayiri ne kiryoka kizitta akawungeezi.
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 have the meal.
Baddiranga omusaayi ne bagumansira ku njuyi zombi ne waggulu, ku mwango gw’oluggi lwa buli nnyumba mwe baliriira omwana gw’endiga.
8 They are to roast the meat over a fire and eat it that night, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Mu kiro ekyo ennyama balyanga njokye ku muliro, era baliirangako n’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse n’enva ezikaawa.
9 You are not to eat the meat raw or boiled in water. All of it must be roasted it over a fire, including the head, legs, and its insides.
Tewabanga ku nnyama eyo gye mulya nga mbisi obanga efumbwa mu mazzi; wabula mugyokyanga ku muliro: omutwe, amagulu n’eby’omunda byonna.
10 Make sure nothing is left until the morning. If there is anything left over, burn it by morning.
Temugiterekangako kutuusa nkeera; bw’ebalemanga eggulolimu, mugyokyanga bwokya ne mugizikiriza.
11 This is how you are to eat the meal. You should be dressed ready to travel, with your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hand. You are to eat quickly—it is the Lord's Passover.
Mugiryanga bwe muti: Mwesibanga ekimyu, nga mwambadde n’engatto zammwe, nga mukutte n’omuggo. Mugiryanga mangu. Kubanga eyo y’Embaga ey’Okuyitako kwa Mukama.
12 That very night I will go all through Egypt and kill every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring condemnation on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
“Kubanga mu kiro ekyo ndiyita mu nsi ya Misiri, nditta buli kibereberye kyonna mu nsi y’e Misiri, abantu era n’ebisolo; era bakatonda bonna ab’omu Misiri ndibasalira omusango. Nze Mukama.
13 The blood on the houses where you live will mark them out. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No deathly plague will fall on you to destroy you when I attack Egypt.
Omusaayi ke kaliba akabonero akalaga ennyumba mwe muli; era bwe ndiraba omusaayi, nga mbayitako; so n’okuzikirira kwe ndireeta ku Bamisiri mmwe tekulibakwatako.
14 This will be a day to remember for you. You are to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord for generations to come. You will observe this for all time to come.
“Olunaku luno lunaababeereranga lwa kijjukizo, era munaalukuumanga ne mulukwata nga lwa mbaga ya Mukama mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egiriddiriŋŋana. Lino lifuuse tteeka ery’emirembe gyonna.
15 For seven days you must eat only bread made without yeast. On the first day you are to get rid of the yeast from your houses. Anyone who eats anything with yeast from the first day to seventh day must be excluded from the Israelite community.
Munaalyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku musanvu; era ku lunaku olusooka, mu nnaku ezo omusanvu, ekizimbulukusa mukiggiranga ddala mu nnyumba zammwe, kubanga alivumbulwa ng’alidde omugaati ogulimu ekizimbulukusa, okuva ku lunaku olusooka okutuusa ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, aligobebwa mu Isirayiri.
16 On both the first day and on the seventh day you are to have a holy meeting. You must not work on those days, except to prepare food. That is all you are allowed to do.
Ku lunaku olusooka wanaabangawo olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu, ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu munaabanga n’olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu; ennaku ezo temuzikolerangako mulimu gwa ngeri yonna, okuggyako okufumba emmere abantu bonna gye banaalya, kye kyokka kye mujjanga okukola.
17 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread because on this very day I led your tribes by their respective divisions out of Egypt. You are to observe this day for all time to come.
“Mukwatanga Embaga ey’Emigati Egitali mizimbulukuse, kubanga ku lunaku luno lwennyini kwe naggyira ebika bya Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri. Noolwekyo olunaku luno munaalukwatanga n’ab’omu mirembe gyonna egiriddawo. Ekyo kiragiro eky’emirembe n’emirembe.
18 In the first month you are to eat bread without yeast from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
Mu mwezi ogusooka, munaalyanga omugaati ogutaliimu kizimbulukusa, okuva mu kawungeezi ak’olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi, okutuusa ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu olumu olw’omwezi ogwo.
19 For seven days there must be no yeast in your houses. If anyone eats something with yeast in it, then they must be excluded from the Israelite community, whether they are a foreigner or native of the land.
Okumala ennaku musanvu mu nnyumba zammwe temulabikangamu ekizimbulukusa; era alivumbulwa ng’alidde ekintu kyonna omuli ekizimbulukusa, agenda kugobwa mu Isirayiri, ne bwaliba omuzaaliranwa oba omugwira.
20 You must not eat anything with yeast in it. Eat only bread without yeast in all your homes.”
Temulyanga kintu kyonna omuli ekizimbulukusa; mu nnyumba zammwe mwe musula yonna, mulyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse.”
21 Then Moses called together all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go immediately and choose a lamb for each of your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
Awo Musa n’ayita abakulembeze ba Isirayiri bonna, n’abagamba nti, “Mwerondere abaana b’endiga ng’amaka gammwe bwe gali, mutte omwana gw’endiga ogw’Okuyitako.
22 Get a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and put some on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you are to go out through door of the house until morning.
Musibe bulungi akaddo k’akakubansiri, mukannyike mu musaayi gwe mutadde mu bensani, mulyoke mumansire ku mwango gw’oluggi waggulu, ne ku njuyi zombi ez’omwango. Tewabaawo n’omu afuluma ennyumba ye okutuusa ng’obudde bukedde.
23 When the Lord passes through to punish the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. He will pass over the door, and he will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and kill you.
Kubanga Mukama ajja kuyita awo ng’agenda okutta Abamisiri; kale bw’anaalaba omusaayi ku mwango gw’oluggi waggulu ne ku mwango mu mbiriizi z’oluggi, oluggi olwo Mukama ajja kuluyitako, era tajja kukkiriza oyo azikiriza kuyingira mu nnyumba zammwe n’okubatta.
24 You and your descendants are to remember to observe these instructions for all time to come.
“Kibagwanira okugondera ebiragiro bino ng’etteeka, mmwe ne batabani bammwe emirembe gyonna.
25 When you enter the land that the Lord promised to give you, you are to observe this ceremony.
Era bwe muliyingira mu nsi Mukama gy’alibawa nga bwe yasuubiza, temwerabiranga mukolo guno.
26 When your children come and ask you, ‘Why is this ceremony important to you?’
Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza nti, ‘Omukolo guno gutegeeza ki?’
27 you are to tell them, ‘This is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord. He was the one who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he killed the Egyptians but spared our households.’” The people bowed down in worship.
Mulibaddamu nti, ‘Kino kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama eky’Okuyitako, kubanga yayita ku nnyumba z’Abayisirayiri mu Misiri, n’awonya amaka gaffe, bwe yatta Abamisiri.’” Awo abantu ne bavuunama ne basinza.
28 Then the Israelites went and did just as the Lord had told Moses and Aaron.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagenda ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni, bwe batyo bwe baakola.
29 At midnight the Lord killed 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 jail, and also all the firstborn of the livestock.
Awo ekiro mu ttumbi Mukama n’atta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri, okuviira ddala ku mubereberye wa Falaawo eyali ow’okumusikira, okutuuka ku mubereberye w’omusibe ali mu kkomera; era n’ente embereberye zonna.
30 Pharaoh got up during the night, as well as all his officials and all the Egyptians. There were loud cries of agony throughout Egypt, because there wasn't a single house where someone hadn't died.
Falaawo n’azuukuka mu kiro wakati, ye n’abaweereza be bonna, n’Abamisiri bonna; Misiri yonna n’ejjula okukungubaga, kubanga tewaaliwo nnyumba n’emu omutaafa muntu.
31 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron during the night and told them, “Get out of here! Leave my people, the two of you and the Israelites! Go, so you can worship the Lord as you have asked.
Mu kiro ekyo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni n’abagamba nti, “Musituke! Mutuviire, nze n’abantu bange, mmwe n’abaana ba Isirayiri. Mugende musinze Mukama nga bwe mwansaba.
32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just like you've said, and leave! Oh, and bless me too.”
Mutwale amagana gammwe n’ebisibo byammwe nga bwe mwansaba, mugende; nange munsabirangayo omukisa!”
33 The Egyptians urged the Israelites to leave their country as quickly as possible, saying, “Otherwise we'll all die!”
Awo Abamisiri ne basindiikiriza abaana ba Isirayiri banguwe okubaviira mu nsi yaabwe; kubanga baagamba nti, “Ffenna tufa tuggwaawo!”
34 So the Israelites picked up their dough before it had risen, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne baddira obuwunga bwabwe obw’emigaati obugotte, obutaliimu kizimbulukusa, ne babussa mu bbakuli omufumbirwa emigaati, ne babuzinga mu ngoye zaabwe, ne babutwalira ku bibegabega byabwe.
35 In addition, the Israelites did what Moses had told them and asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and gold, and for clothing.
Baakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira, ne basaba Abamisiri eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu, awamu n’ebyambalo.
36 The Lord had made the Egyptians look so favorably on the Israelites that they agreed their request. In this way they took the wealth of the Egyptians.
Mukama yali aleetedde abaana ba Isirayiri okuganja mu Bamisiri, bwe batyo ne baweebwa buli kye baasabanga. Ne baleka nga bakalizza Abamisiri.
37 The Israelites set out on foot from Rameses for Succoth and numbered about 600,000 men, as well as women and children.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne batambula okuva e Lameseesi ne batuuka e Sukkosi. Baali abantu ng’emitwalo nkaaga, ng’abakazi n’abaana tebabaliddwa.
38 In addition many foreigners joined them. They also took with them large herds and flocks of livestock.
Waaliwo n’abantu abalala bangi abaagenda nabo. Baatwala amagana g’ente mangi, n’ebisibo, bingi nnyo.
39 Since their bread dough didn't have any yeast, the Israelites baked what they had brought out of Egypt into loaves without yeast. This was because when they were driven out of Egypt they had to leave in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare food for themselves.
Ne beefumbira emigaati mu buwunga obugotte bwe baggya mu Misiri, naye tegyalimu kizimbulukusa, kubanga baasindiikirizibwa busindiikirizibwa okuva mu Misiri, ne bataba na budde bwa kwefumbira mmere.
40 The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.
Emyaka abaana ba Isirayiri gye baamala mu Misiri gyawera ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu.
41 On the very day the 430 years ended, all the tribes of the Lord by their respective divisions left Egypt.
Ku lunaku olwasembayo olwaweza emyaka ebikumi ebina mu asatu, eggye lya Mukama eryo lyonna kwe lyasitulira ne liva mu nsi y’e Misiri.
42 Because the Lord kept watch that night to lead them out of the land of Egypt, you are to keep watch this same night as an observance to honor the Lord, to be kept by all Israelites for generations to come.
Mukama yali bulindaala ekiro ky’olunaku olwo, n’aggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri; noolwekyo abaana ba Isirayiri banajjukiranga Mukama ekiro ky’olunaku olwo emirembe gyabwe gyonna.
43 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “This is the Passover ceremony. No foreigner is allowed to eat it.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Bino by’ebiragiro by’Okuyitako: “Omunaggwanga takkirizibwa kugiryako.
44 But any slave who has been bought can eat it once you have circumcised him.
Omuddu aguliddwa n’ensimbi akkirizibwa okugiryako singa amala okukomolebwa;
45 Foreign visitors or those hired from other nations shall not eat the Passover.
naye omugenyi omugwira, n’omupakasi akola awaka, tebakkirizibwa kugiryako.
46 It has to be eaten inside the house. You are not allowed to take any of the meat outside the house, or to break any of the bones.
“Buli ndiga eneerirwanga mu nnyumba emu; ennyama eyo tekuubengako efulumizibwa bweru wa nju eyo. Temumenyanga ku magumba gaayo n’erimu.
47 All Israelites are to celebrate it.
Abantu bonna aba Isirayiri banaakolanga omukolo guno.
48 If there's a foreigner lives with you and wants to celebrate the Lord's Passover, all the males in their household have to be circumcised. Then he may come and celebrate it, and he shall be treated like a native of the land. But no man who is not circumcised may eat it.
“Omunaggwanga abeera mu mmwe bw’abanga ayagala okukolera Mukama Katonda omukolo gw’Okuyitako, asaana asooke okukomola abantu be aboobulenzi bonna abali mu maka ge, alyoke asembere gye muli yeegatte mu mukolo ogwo; kubanga olwo anaabanga ng’omuzaaliranwa mu nsi omwo. Naye atali mukomole taagiryengako.
49 The same rule applies to both the native and the foreigner who lives among you.”
Etteeka lye limu lye linaakwatibwanga omuzaaliranwa n’Omunnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe.”
50 Then all the Israelites followed these instructions. They did exactly what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne bakola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni; bwe batyo bonna bwe baakola.
51 That very day the Lord led the Israelite tribes out of Egypt by their respective tribal divisions.
Awo ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’aggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi ey’e Misiri nga bagendera mu bibinja byabwe.
