< Exodus 12 >
1 Then the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Bere a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
2 This moneth shalbe vnto you the beginning of moneths: it shalbe to you the first moneth of the yere.
“Efi nnɛ rekɔ, ɔsram yi bɛyɛ ɔsram a edi kan wɔ Yudafo asranna so.
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.
Ka kyerɛ Israelfo nyinaa se, saa ɔsram yi da a ɛto so du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara pɛ oguamma baako de ma nʼabusua. Ɛsɛ sɛ ofi biara nya oguamma no baako.
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,
Sɛ abusua bi mu nnipa sua a wɔrentumi nwe oguamma no a, wotumi ne abusua bi a ɛbɛn wɔn wɔ mpɔtam hɔ a wɔn nso sua kyɛ oguamma no. Aboa no kyɛ wɔ saa kwan no so no gyina abusua no kɛse ne nam dodow a wobetumi awe so.
5 Your lambe shalbe without blemish, a male of a yeere olde: ye shall take it of the lambes, or of the kiddes.
Ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ nea wadi afe. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ oguan anaa abirekyi a onnii dɛm.
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.
Monhwɛ saa mmoa a moayiyi wɔn yi yiye nkosi ɔsram a edii kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Afei Israel asafo nyinaa nkunkum wɔn nguantenmma no ɔdasu mu.
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.
Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra ofi biara apongua ho. Oguamma a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛde yi.
8 And they shall eate the flesh the same night, roste with fire, and vnleauened bread: with sowre herbes they shall eate it.
Anadwo no ara, obiara bɛwe aboa a wɔatoto no no nam no bi. Wɔmfa brodo a wɔamfa mmɔkaw anyɛ ne awɔnwen na enni.
9 Eate not thereof rawe, boyled nor sodden in water, but rost with fire, both his head, his feete, and his purtenance.
Wɔnnnoa nam no na wɔnnwe no amono nso, na mmom, wɔntoto aboa mu no nyinaa, a ne ti, nʼanan ne nʼayamde nyinaa ka ho.
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.
Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, nea ɛbɛka no, sɛ ade kye so a, monnnwe na mmom monhyew no.
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.
Sɛnea monwe nam no ni: monwe wɔ bere a mo ntade a mode tu kwan hyehyɛ mo. Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔkwan tententwa. Monhyɛ mo mpaboa na momfa mo pema nkurakura. Monwe no ntɛmntɛm. Saa nneyɛe yi, wɔbɛfrɛ no Awurade Twam Afahyɛ.
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.
“Na metwa mu afa Misraim asase so anadwo yi na mmabarima a wɔyɛ mmakan ne mmoa mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, mekum wɔn, na mabu anyame a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa atɛn, efisɛ mene Awurade!
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.
Mogya a mode bɛyɛ apongua no ho no bɛyɛ agyiraehyɛde, enti sɛ mihu mogya no a, metwa mu akɔ, na sɛ merekunkum Misraim mmakan a, merenkum mo de bi.
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.
“Eyi yɛ da a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi; na awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no bedi no sɛ afahyɛ ama Awurade. Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
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.
Nnanson no mu, munni brodo a wɔmfaa mmɔkaw mfrae nko ara. Afahyɛ no da a edi kan no, munyiyi mmɔkaw biara mfi mo afi mu. Obiara a saa bere no obebu saa afahyɛ yi mmara yi so no, wobetwa no asu afi Israelman mu.
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.
Afahyɛ no da a edi kan ne ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa bedi da no sɛ da a wɔayi asi hɔ ama nhyiamu kronkron. Na nna no mu, aduannoa akyi no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma foforo biara.
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.
“Sɛ mudi Apiti Afahyɛ yi a, ɛbɛma mo akae daa sɛ, saa da no na miyii mo fii Misraim asase so. Munni saa dapɔnna yi sɛ daa ahyɛde mfi awo ntoatoaso so nkosi awo ntoatoaso so.
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.
Ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere kosi ne da a ɛto so aduonu baako so no, brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu nko ara na munni.
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.
Saa nnanson no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wohu mmɔkaw kakraa bi koraa wɔ mo afi mu. Enti obiara a obedi aduan a mmɔkaw wɔ mu no, wobeyi no afi Israel asafo kuw no mu. Saa mmara yi ka ananafo a wɔne mo te ne wɔn a wofi ɔman no mu no nyinaa nso.
20 Ye shall eate no leauened bread: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread.
Miti mu sɛ, saa nna no mu, munnni biribiara a wɔde mmɔkaw afra mu; munni brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu.”
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.
Na Mose frɛɛ Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔkyekyere oguamma anaa abirekyi ba mma abusua biara, na munkum no sɛ Twam Afahyɛ aboa.
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.
Muntwa oguan no mogya ngu kuruwa bi mu. Momfa adwerɛ mmɔ mogya no mu na momfa mpete apongua no atifi ne apongua abien a aka no ho sɛnea mogya no bɛda ho. Muwie a, mo mu biara mmfi nkɔ abɔnten saa anadwo no.
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.
Awurade betwa mu afa asase yi so akunkum Misraimfo. Na sɛ ohu sɛ mogya wɔ apongua no atifi ne apongua abien no ho a, obetwa saa ofi no ho akɔ a ɔremma ɔsɛefo no nwura hɔ nkunkum mo mmakan.
24 Therefore shall ye obserue this thing as an ordinance both for thee and thy sonnes for euer.
“Na monkae sɛ eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefo.
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.
Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
26 And when your children aske you, What seruice is this ye keepe?
Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, ‘Eyinom nyinaa ase ne dɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa dɛn ho a,
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.
mummua wɔn se, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre ma Awurade. Otwaa Israelfo afi ho wɔ Misraim. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ okunkum Misraimfo de, nanso ogyaw yɛn mmusua.’” Bere a Mose kasa wiee no, nnipa no nyinaa kotow sɔree.
28 So the children of Israel went, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
Na Israelfo no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛde no so.
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.
Da no ara anadwo nnɔndumien Awurade kunkum mmarimaa a wɔyɛ abakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, efi Farao babarima panyin so kosi odeduani babarima panyin ne anantwi nso mmakan nyinaa.
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.
Afei, Farao ne ne mpanyimfo ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa sɔree anadwo no. Misraiman no nyinaa twaa agyaadwo, efisɛ ofi biara nni hɔ a onipa anwu wɔ mu.
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.
Enti Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron anadwo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mesrɛ mo, mo nyinaa muntu mfi ha. Monkɔsom Awurade sɛnea mokae no.
32 Take also your sheepe and your cattell as yee haue sayde, and depart, and blesse me also.
Momfa mo nguan ne mo anantwi na monkɔ. Nanso munhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
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.
Misraimfo no nyinaa ani beree Israelfo no so pampam wɔn sɛ womfi asase no so ntɛm, efisɛ wɔkae se, “Yebewuwu.”
34 Therfore the people tooke their dough before it was leauened, euen their dough bound in clothes vpon their shoulders.
Israelfo no faa wɔn mmɔre a wɔafɔtɔw a mmɔkaw mfra mu, na wɔde wɔn ntade kyekyeree wɔn mmɔre nnaka de sisii wɔn mmati so.
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.
Na Israelfo no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinne ne ntade afi Misraimfo no nkyɛn sɛnea Mose kaa se wɔnyɛ no.
36 And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the sight of the Egyptians: and they graunted their request: so they spoyled the Egyptians.
Awurade maa Misraimfo no huu Israelfo no mmɔbɔ enti wɔmaa wɔn wɔn abisade nyinaa. Ɛnam saayɛ so maa Israelfo no twee Misraimfo ahonyade nyinaa kɔe.
37 Then the children of Israel tooke their iourney from Rameses to Succoth about sixe hundreth thousand men of foote, beside children.
Anadwo no ara, Israelfo no sii mu fii Rameses kɔɔ Sukot. Na wɔn dodow yɛ nnipa mpem ahansia a wɔnam fam, a mmea ne mmofra de wɔankan wɔn anka ho.
38 And a great multitude of sundrie sortes of people went out with them, and sheepe, and beeues, and cattel in great abundance.
Nnipa ahorow pii bi a wɔnyɛ Israelfo kaa wɔn ho kɔe. Wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi nyinaa kaa wɔn ho.
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.
Woduu baabi a wɔpɛ sɛ wodidi no, wɔde mmɔre a wɔamfa mmɔkaw amfra a wɔde kɔe no bi too brodo dii. Na mmɔkaw nni mu, efisɛ Misraimfo no pam wɔn. Ɛno nti wɔannya kwan anyɛ aduan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so.
40 So the dwelling of the children of Israel, while they dwelled in Egypt, was foure hundreth and thirtie yeres.
Israelfo no tenaa Misraim mfe ahannan ne aduasa.
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.
Na da a wodii mfe ahannan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa fii asase no so.
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.
Saa anadwo no ne bere a Awurade yi too hɔ de gyee ne nkurɔfo fii Misraim asase so. Enti saa anadwo koro no ara na Israelfo no yi de too hɔ sɛ da a Onyankopɔn gyee wɔn no afirihyia da.
43 Also the Lord said vnto Moses and Aaron, This is the Lawe of the Passeouer: no stranger shall eate thereof.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔho biara nnwe oguamma no nam no bi.
44 But euerie seruant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
Nanso ɔsomfo biara a wɔtew sika tɔɔ no no, sɛ wɔatwa no twetia de a, otumi we bi.
45 A stranger or an hyred seruant shall not eat thereof.
Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔho biara nnwe bi.
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.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe Twam Afahyɛ aboa biara wɔ ofi biara mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe nam no wɔ fie. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde nam no fa biara kɔ abɔnten. Ɛnsɛ sɛ mobɔ dompe biara mu.
47 All the Congregation of Israel shall obserue it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa di da no.
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.
“Ahɔho a mo ne wɔn te no nso, sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wodi Twam Afahyɛ no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa twa twetia ansa na wɔaba ne mo abedi; na ama wɔayɛ sɛnea wɔwoo wɔn too mo mu no.
49 One lawe shalbe to him that is borne in the land, and to the stranger that dwelleth among you.
Saa mmara yi ka Israelfo ne ahɔho a wɔne mo te no nso.”
50 Then all the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they.
Enti Israelfo no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
51 And the selfe same day did the Lord bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Da no ara na Awurade yii Israelfo no fii Misraim asase so.
