< Exodus 12 >
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri atĩrĩ,
2 This month shall be unto you the chief of months: the first shall it be unto you of the months of the year.
“Mweri ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtuĩka mweri wa mbere harĩ inyuĩ, ũtuĩke mweri wa mbere wa mwaka wanyu.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take to themselves every man a lamb for every family, a lamb for every house:
Ĩrai andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi mweri ũyũ, o mũndũ akanyiitĩra andũ a nyũmba yake gatũrũme; o nyũmba gatũrũme kamwe.
4 And if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he take it with his neighbor who is next unto his house, according to the number of the souls; every man according to what he eateth shall ye make a count for the lamb.
Nyũmba ĩngĩgakorwo ĩrĩ nini mũno, ũndũ ĩtangĩniina gatũrũme kamwe-rĩ, nĩmanyiitanĩre gatũrũme kamwe na nyũmba ĩrĩa mahakanĩte nayo, marĩkĩtie gwĩtara mũigana wao meturanĩire. Rorai na mũtue wega nĩ tũtũrũme tũigana tũkabatarania kũringana na mũrĩĩre wa o mũndũ.
5 A lamb without blemish, a male of the first year shall ye have; from the sheep, or from the goats may ye take it.
Nyamũ iria mũgũthuura no nginya ikorwo irĩ tũtũrũme twa ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na itarĩ na kaũũgũ, na mũgaaciruta kuuma harĩ ngʼondu kana mbũri.
6 And ye shall have it in keeping until the fourteenth day of the same month; and then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it toward evening.
Cimenyererei nginya mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe a Isiraeli magaacithĩnja hwaĩ-inĩ.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the upper door-post, in the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo makooya thakame ĩmwe ya tũtũrũme tũu, nao mamĩhake hingĩro-inĩ cia igũrũ na cia mĩena ya mũrango wa nyũmba ĩrĩa makaarĩĩra tũtũrũme tũu.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted by the fire, with unleavened bread; together with bitter herbs shall they eat it.
Ũtukũ o ũcio makaarĩa nyama icio ihĩhĩtio na mwaki, marĩĩanĩrie na nyeni ndũrũ na mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia.
9 You shall not eat of it raw, nor in any wise sodden with water; but roasted by the fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
Mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ njĩthĩ kana itherũkĩtio na maaĩ, no ihĩhio na mwaki, mũtwe, na magũrũ o na nyama cia nda.
10 And ye shall not let any thing of it remain until morning; and that which remaineth of it until morning ye shall burn with fire.
Mũtikanatigie imwe ciacio ikinyĩrie rũciinĩ; iria ingĩtigara nginya rũciinĩ, no nginya mũgaacicina.
11 And thus shall ye eat it, With your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste, it is passover unto the Lord.
Ũũ nĩguo mũkaarĩa nyama icio: mũkorwo mwĩhotorete mĩcibi yanyu njohero, na iraatũ cianyu irĩ magũrũ, na mĩtirima yanyu ĩrĩ moko. Mũgaacirĩa naihenya; ĩyo nĩyo Bathaka ya Jehova.
12 And I will pass through the land of Egypt in this night, and I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt will I execute judgments: I am the Lord.
“O ũtukũ ũcio nĩngatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩngooraga marigithathi mothe ma andũ na ma nyamũ, na nĩngatuĩra ngai cia bũrũri wa Misiri ciothe ciira. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and there shall be no plague against you to destroy, when I smite [others] in the land of Egypt.
Thakame ĩyo ĩgaatuĩka rũũri rwanyu nyũmba-inĩ iria mũgaakorwo mũrĩ, na rĩrĩa ngoona thakame-rĩ, no kũmũhĩtũka ngaamũhĩtũka. Gũtirĩ mũthiro ũkamũhutia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaahũũra bũrũri wa Misiri.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast unto the Lord; throughout your generations, as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
“Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũrĩũririkanaga; ũkũngũyagĩrei harĩ njiarwa iria igooka ũrĩ wa gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova, ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra.
15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; but on the first day ye shall have put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be cut off from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Mũthenya wa mbere mũkeeheria ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma nyũmba cianyu, nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma mũthenya wa mbere nginya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩakaingatwo eherio harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
16 And on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every man, that only may be prepared by you.
Gĩai na kĩũngano gĩtheru mũthenya wa mbere, na mũgĩe na kĩngĩ mũthenya wa mũgwanja. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ mĩthenya ĩyo, tiga o wa kũhaarĩria irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ mũndũ wothe, ũguo noguo mũngĩĩka.
17 And ye shall observe the unleavened bread; for on this selfsame day have I brought forth your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever.
“Kũngũĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate Ĩtarĩ Ndawa ya Kũimbia, tondũ nĩ mũthenya ũyũ kĩũmbe ndamũrutire mũrĩ ikundi kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri. Kũngũĩrai mũthenya ũyũ ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra nginya njiarwa iria igooka.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, shall ye eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at evening.
Mweri wa mbere mũrĩrĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, kwambĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩrĩ na ũmwe.
19 Seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or one born in the land.
Handũ ha matukũ mũgwanja, gũtikoneke ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate nyũmba-inĩ cianyu. Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia nĩakaingatwo athengio mũingĩ-inĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ mũgeni, kana aciarĩtwo arĩ Mũisiraeli.
20 Nothing that is leavened shall ye eat; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia. Kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.”
21 And Moses called for the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice.
Nake Musa agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi o narua mũgathuure nyamũ nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba cianyu na mũthĩnje gatũrũme ka Bathaka.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out frown the door of his house until the morning.
Oyai kĩohe kĩa mahuti ma mũthobi, mũgĩtobokie karaĩ-inĩ karĩ na thakame, mũcooke mũmĩhake hingĩro ya igũrũ ya mũrango, o na mĩena yeerĩ ya hingĩro cia mũrango. Gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe wanyu ũkuuma nja ya nyũmba yake nginya rũciinĩ.
23 And the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova arĩtuĩkania bũrũri nĩguo orage andũ a Misiri-rĩ, nĩarĩona thakame ĩyo ĩrĩ igũrũ na mĩena ya hingĩro cia mĩrango, nake ahĩtũke mũromo wa nyũmba ĩyo, na nĩakagiria mũniinani atoonye nyũmba cianyu amũũrage.
24 And ye shall observe this thing, as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
“Athĩkĩrai ũrutani ũyũ taarĩ watho wa gũtũũra wathĩkagĩrwo nĩ inyuĩ na njiaro cianyu.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come into the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhe ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
Na rĩrĩa ciana cianyu ikamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩathĩ gĩkĩ kiugĩte atĩa harĩ inyuĩ?’
27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the passover unto the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and our houses he spared; and the people bent the head and bowed themselves.
Mũgaaciĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova, ũrĩa waagararire nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na akĩhonokia andũ a nyũmba ciitũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ooragire andũ a Misiri.’” Nao andũ makĩinamĩrĩria mothiũ mao, makĩhooya.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Andũ a Isiraeli magĩgĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa na Harũni.
29 And it came to pass at midnight, that the Lord smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that was to sit on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.
O ũtukũ gatagatĩ Jehova akĩũraga marigithathi mothe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kwambĩrĩria irigithathi rĩa Firaũni, ũrĩa waikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nginya irigithathi rĩa mũndũ muohe ũrĩa warĩ njeera na marigithathi ma mahiũ mothe.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not some one dead.
Firaũni na anene ake othe o na andũ a Misiri othe, magĩũkĩra kũrĩ o ũtukũ, nakuo gũkĩgĩa kĩrĩro kĩnene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ nyũmba ĩtaarĩ na mũndũ wakuĩte.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Eternal, as ye have spoken.
O ũtukũ ũcio, Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrai! Ehererai andũ akwa, inyuĩ o na andũ a Isiraeli othe! Thiĩi mũgatungatĩre Jehova o ta ũrĩa mũũrĩtie.
32 Also your flocks and your herds take, as ye have spoken, and be gone; and bless me also.
Oyai ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe o ta ũrĩa mũroigĩte na mũthiĩ. Na mũndathime o na niĩ.”
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to make haste to send them away out of the land; for they said, We are all dying.
Nao andũ a Misiri makĩhĩka andũ acio moime bũrũri ũcio na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Kwaga ũguo, tũgũkua ithuothe!”
34 And the people took up their dough before it was yet leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩoya kĩmere kĩao gĩtanekĩrwo ndawa ya kũimbia, na magĩgĩkuua na ciande, nayo mĩharatĩ yoohereirwo nguo-inĩ.
35 And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses; and they had asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa meerĩĩtwo nĩ Musa na makĩhooya andũ a Misiri mamahe indo cia betha na cia thahabu, o na nguo.
36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them what they required; and they emptied out Egypt.
Jehova agĩtũma andũ acio metĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri nao makĩmahe kĩrĩa gĩothe meetirie; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtaha indo cia andũ a Misiri.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Ra'meses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
Andũ a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria rũgendo kuuma Ramesese magĩthiĩ Sukothu. Arũme arĩa metwaraga na magũrũ maarĩ ta 600,000 hategũtarwo atumia na ciana.
38 And a mixed multitude also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, a very large amount of cattle.
Na andũ angĩ aingĩ nĩmathiire na makĩambatania nao, hamwe na ndũũru nene cia mahiũ ma mbũri na ngʼombe.
39 And they baked of the dough, which they had brought forth out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
Kĩmere kĩrĩa maarutĩte bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩo maatũmĩrire gũthondeka mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia. Kĩmere kĩu gĩtiarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia tondũ nĩkũingatwo maingatirwo bũrũri wa Misiri, na matiigana kũgĩa na ihinda rĩa kũhaarĩria irio ciao.
40 Now the time of the residence of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Ihinda rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũrire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ mĩaka 430.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, and it happened even on the selfsame day, that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
Harĩa mĩaka ĩyo 430 yathirĩire-rĩ, mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩguo ikundi ciothe cia andũ a Jehova cioimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
42 A night to be observed was this unto the Lord to bring them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night holy to the Lord, to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
Tondũ ũtukũ ũcio nĩguo Jehova aikarire eiguĩte nĩguo amarute bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, na ũtukũ ũyũ nao andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmarĩikaraga meiguĩte nĩguo matĩĩage Jehova njiarwa-inĩ ciothe iria igooka.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat thereof.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩmo mawatho ma Bathaka: “Gũtirĩ mũgeni ũngĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo.
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
Ngombo o yothe ũgũrĩte no ĩrĩe Bathaka ĩyo thuutha wa kũmĩruithia,
45 A resident foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.
no mũrarĩrĩri kana mũruti wĩra wa mũcaara ndakanamĩrĩe.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; and no bone shall ye break in it.
“No nginya ĩrĩĩagĩrwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba o ĩmwe, mũtikanoimie nyama o na ĩrĩkũ nja ya nyũmba. Mũtikanoine ihĩndĩ o na rĩmwe rĩayo.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall prepare it.
Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli no nginya ũkũngũĩre Bathaka.
48 And when a stranger sojourneth with thee, and will prepare the passover to the Lord, let his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and prepare it, and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
“Mũgeni ũtũũrĩte thĩinĩ wanyu na nĩekwenda gũkũngũĩra Bathaka ya Jehova, no nginya aruithie arũme othe a nyũmba yake; thuutha ũcio nĩrĩo angĩkũngũĩra Bathaka ta mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũtarĩ mũruu ũngĩrĩa Bathaka.
49 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Watho o ũcio noguo ũgwatha arĩa maciarĩtwo marĩ a bũrũri, o na ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
50 And all the children of Israel did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni.
51 And it came to pass on the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Na mũthenya o ro ũcio, Jehova akĩruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ikundi ciao.
