Exodus 12
1 Then the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
上主在埃及國訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
2 This moneth shalbe vnto you the beginning of moneths: it shalbe to you the first moneth of the yere.
你們要以本月為你們的正月，為你們算是一年的首月。
3 Speake ye vnto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this moneth let euery man take vnto him a lambe, according to the house of the fathers, a lambe for an house.
你們應訓示以色列會眾，本月十日，他們每人照家族準備一隻羔羊，一家一隻。
4 And if the housholde be too litle for the lambe, he shall take his neighbour, which is next vnto his house, according to the nomber of the persons: euery one of you, according to his eating shall make your count for the lambes,
若是小家庭，吃不了一隻，家長應和附近的鄰居按照人數共同預備，並照每人的飯量估計當吃的羔羊。
5 Your lambe shalbe without blemish, a male of a yeere olde: ye shall take it of the lambes, or of the kiddes.
羔羊應是一歲無殘疾的公羊，要由綿羊或山羊中挑選。
6 And yee shall keepe it vntill the fourteenth day of this moneth: then al the multitude of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it at euen.
把這羔羊留到本月十四日，在黃昏的時候，以色列全體會眾便將牠宰殺。
7 After, they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two postes, and on the vpper doore post of the houses where they shall eate it.
各家都應取些血塗在吃羔羊的房屋的兩門框和門楣上。
8 And they shall eate the flesh the same night, roste with fire, and vnleauened bread: with sowre herbes they shall eate it.
在那一夜要吃肉；肉要用火烤了，同無酵餅及苦菜一起吃。
9 Eate not thereof rawe, boyled nor sodden in water, but rost with fire, both his head, his feete, and his purtenance.
肉切不可吃生的或水煮的，只許吃火烤的。頭、腿和五臟都應吃盡。
10 And ye shall reserue nothing of it vnto the morning: but that, which remaineth of it vnto the morowe, shall ye burne with fire.
一點也不許留到早晨；若是早晨還有剩下的，都要用火燒掉。
11 And thus shall yee eate it, Your loynes girded, your shoes on your feete, and your staues in your handes, and yee shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lords Passeouer.
你們應這樣吃：束著腰，腳上穿著鞋，手裏拿著棍杖，急速快吃：這是向上主守的逾越節。
12 For I will passe through the lande of Egypt the same night, and will smite all the first borne in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and I will execute iudgement vpon all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
這一夜我要走遍埃及全國，將埃及國一切首生，無論是人是牲畜都要殺死，對於埃及的眾神，我也要嚴加懲罰：我是上主。
13 And the blood shalbe a token for you vpon the houses where ye are: so when I see the blood, I will passe ouer you, and the plague shall not be vpon you to destruction, when I smite the lande of Egypt.
這血在你們所住的房屋上，當作你們的記號：我打擊埃及國的時候，一見這血，就越過你們去，毀滅的災禍不落在你們身上。
14 And this day shalbe vnto you a remembrance: and ye shall keepe it an holie feast vnto the Lord, throughout your generations: yee shall keepe it holie by an ordinance for euer.
這一天將是你們的紀念日，要當作上主的節日來慶祝；你們要世世代代過這節日，作為永遠的法規。
15 Seuen daies shall ye eat vnleauened bread, and in any case ye shall put away leauen the first day out of your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread from the first daie vntill the seuenth day, that person shalbe cut off from Israel.
你們應一連七天吃無酵餅。第一天務要從你們家內將酵子除去，因為從第一天直到第七天，凡吃有酵之物的人，都應從以色列中鏟除。
16 And in the first day shalbe an holie assemblie: also in the seuenth day shalbe an holy assemblie vnto you: no worke shalbe done in them, saue about that which euery man must eate: that onely may ye do.
第一天和第七天應召開聖會；這兩天一切勞工都不可作，只准你們準備每人吃的東西。
17 Ye shall keepe also the feast of vnleauened bread: for that same daye I will bring your armies out of the lande of Egypt: therefore ye shall obserue this day, throughout your posteritie, by an ordinance for euer.
你們應守無酵節，因為這一天我領你們的軍旅出離了埃及國，所以你們要世世代代守這一天，作為永遠的法規。
18 In the first moneth and the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen, yee shall eate vnleauened bread vnto the one and twentieth day of the moneth at euen.
從正月十四日晚起，到二十一日晚為止，你們應吃無酵餅。
19 Seuen daies shall no leauen be founde in your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread, that person shalbe cut off from the Congregation of Israel: whether he bee a stranger, or borne in the land.
七天內，在你們家內不准有酵子，因為凡吃了有酵之物的，不論他是外方人或是本地人，都應從以色列會眾內鏟除。
20 Ye shall eate no leauened bread: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread.
任何有酵之物，`不准你們吃；在你們所居住之處，都應吃無酵餅。」逾越節的建立
21 Then Moses called all the Elders of Israel, and saide vnto them, Choose out and take you for euerie of your housholdes a lambe, and kill the Passeouer.
梅瑟召集了以色列眾長老來，向他們說：「你去為你們的家屬準備一隻羊，宰殺作逾越節羔羊。
22 And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basen, and strike the lintell, and the doore cheekes with the blood that is in the basen, and let none of you goe out at the doore of his house, vntill the morning.
拿一束牛膝草蘸在盆中血裏，用盆中的血，塗在門楣和兩旁的門框上；你們中誰也不准離開自己的房門，直到早晨。
23 For the Lord will passe by to smite the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood vpon the lintel and on the two doore cheekes, the Lord wil passe ouer the doore, and wil not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to plague you.
因為上主要經過，擊殺埃及人；他一見門楣和兩門框上有血，就越過門，不容毀滅者進你們的房屋。
24 Therefore shall ye obserue this thing as an ordinance both for thee and thy sonnes for euer.
你們應遵守這規定，作為你們子孫的永遠法規。
25 And when ye shall come into the land, which the Lord will giue you as hee hath promised, then ye shall keepe this seruice.
日後你們到了上主許給你們的地方，應守這禮。
26 And when your children aske you, What seruice is this ye keepe?
將來你們的子孫若問你們這禮有什麼意思，
27 Then ye shall saye, It is the sacrifice of the Lordes Passeouer, which passed ouer the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and preserued our houses. Then the people bowed them selues, and worshipped.
你們應回答說：這是獻於上主的逾越節祭：當上主擊殺埃及人的時候，越過了在埃及的以色列子民的房屋，救了我們各家。」於是百姓都屈膝朝拜。
28 So the children of Israel went, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
以色列子民就去奉行了。上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟和亞郎，他們就怎樣作了。第十災、殺長子
29 Nowe at midnight, the Lord smote all the first borne in the lande of Egypt, from the first borne of Pharaoh that sate on his throne, vnto the first borne of the captiue that was in prison, and all the first borne of beastes.
那天半夜，上主擊殺了埃及所有的長子，從坐寶座的法朗的長子，直到坐監者的長子，以及一切頭胎牲畜。
30 And Pharaoh rose vp in the night, he, and all his seruants and all the Egyptians: and there was a great crye in Egypt: for there was no house where there was not one dead.
在這一夜，法朗，他所有的臣僕和全埃及人都起來；在埃及發生了大哀號，因為沒有一家不死人的。
31 And hee called to Moses and to Aaron by night, and saide, Rise vp, get you out from among my people, both yee, and the children of Israel, and goe serue the Lord as ye haue sayde.
夜間法朗召梅瑟和亞郎來說：「你們和以色列子民都起身離開我的百姓走罷! 照你們所要求的，去崇拜上主罷!
32 Take also your sheepe and your cattell as yee haue sayde, and depart, and blesse me also.
也照你們所要求的，帶著你的羊群牛群去罷! 也為我求祝福。」
33 And the Egyptians did force the people, because they would send them out of the land in haste: for they said, We die all.
埃及人催迫這百分姓趕快離開此地，因為他們說：「我們快要死盡! 」
34 Therfore the people tooke their dough before it was leauened, euen their dough bound in clothes vpon their shoulders.
百姓便把沒有發酵的麵團和麵盆包在外衣內，背在肩上。
35 And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses, and they asked of ye Egyptians iewels of siluer and iewels of gold, and raiment.
以色列子民也照梅瑟所吩咐的作了，向埃及人要求金銀之物和衣服。
36 And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the sight of the Egyptians: and they graunted their request: so they spoyled the Egyptians.
上主使百姓在埃及人眼中蒙恩，給了他們所要求的；他們這樣劫奪了埃及人。以色列離埃及
37 Then the children of Israel tooke their iourney from Rameses to Succoth about sixe hundreth thousand men of foote, beside children.
以色列人民從辣默色斯起程向穌苛特進發。步行的男子約二十萬，家屬不算在內。
38 And a great multitude of sundrie sortes of people went out with them, and sheepe, and beeues, and cattel in great abundance.
同他們一起走的，還有很多外族人，也帶著自己的羊群、牛群和大批的牲畜。
39 And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, and made vnleauened cakes: for it was not leauened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, neither coulde they tarie, nor yet prepare themselues vitailes.
他們把從埃及帶出來的未發酵的面團烤成無酵餅，因為他們急迫離開埃及，不能耽擱，來不及準備行糧。
40 So the dwelling of the children of Israel, while they dwelled in Egypt, was foure hundreth and thirtie yeres.
以色列子民居留埃及共有四百三十年。
41 And when the foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres were expired, euen the selfe same day departed all the hostes of the Lord out of the land of Egypt.
四百三十年屆滿的那一天，上主的軍旅離開了埃及.。
42 It is a night to be kept holie to the Lord, because he brought them out of the lande of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord, which all the children of Israel must keepe throughout their generations.
這一夜是上主領他們出離埃及所守的一夜，這一夜也是以色列子民世世代代當守的一夜。參與逾越節宴的法律
43 Also the Lord said vnto Moses and Aaron, This is the Lawe of the Passeouer: no stranger shall eate thereof.
上主向梅瑟和亞郎說：「有關逾越節祭餐的法規如下：任何外方人不准參加這祭餐。
44 But euerie seruant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
凡用錢買來的奴隸，受過割損禮後，方可參加。
45 A stranger or an hyred seruant shall not eat thereof.
旅客和傭工不得參加。
46 In one house shall it bee eaten: thou shalt carie none of ye flesh out of the house, neither shall ye breake a bone thereof.
應在同一間房屋內吃盡，不可將肉塊帶到屋外，也不可將骨頭折斷。
47 All the Congregation of Israel shall obserue it.
以色列全會眾都應舉行此祭餐。
48 But if a stranger dwell with thee, and will obserue the Passeouer of the Lord, let him circumcise all the males, that belong vnto him, and then let him come and obserue it, and he shall be as one that is borne in the land: for none vncircumcised person shall eate thereof.
若有同你在一起居住的外方人，願向上主舉行逾越節祭餐，他家所有的男子應受割損禮，然後才准前來參加，如本地人一樣；但未受割損禮的人決不許參加。
49 One lawe shalbe to him that is borne in the land, and to the stranger that dwelleth among you.
本地人和住在你們中間的外方人同屬一例。」
50 Then all the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
全以色列子民就都奉行。上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟和亞郎，他們就怎樣作了。
51 And the selfe same day did the Lord bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
就在這一天，上主將以色列子民一隊一隊地領出了埃及。
