< Exodus 12 >

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa ne Alooni nga bali mu nsi y’e Misiri, n’abagamba nti,
2 This month shall be unto you the chief of months: the first shall it be unto you of the months of the year.
“Okuva leero omwezi guno gwe gunaabanga omubereberye mu myezi gyonna mu mwaka gwammwe.
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:
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 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.
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 A lamb without blemish, a male of the first year shall ye have; from the sheep, or from the goats may ye take it.
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 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.
Ensolo ezo muzirabiriranga okutuusa ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi guno; ekibiina kyonna eky’abantu ba Isirayiri ne kiryoka kizitta akawungeezi.
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.
Baddiranga omusaayi ne bagumansira ku njuyi zombi ne waggulu, ku mwango gw’oluggi lwa buli nnyumba mwe baliriira omwana gw’endiga.
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.
Mu kiro ekyo ennyama balyanga njokye ku muliro, era baliirangako n’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse n’enva ezikaawa.
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.
Tewabanga ku nnyama eyo gye mulya nga mbisi obanga efumbwa mu mazzi; wabula mugyokyanga ku muliro: omutwe, amagulu n’eby’omunda byonna.
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.
Temugiterekangako kutuusa nkeera; bw’ebalemanga eggulolimu, mugyokyanga bwokya ne mugizikiriza.
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.
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 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.
“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 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.
Omusaayi ke kaliba akabonero akalaga ennyumba mwe muli; era bwe ndiraba omusaayi, nga mbayitako; so n’okuzikirira kwe ndireeta ku Bamisiri mmwe tekulibakwatako.
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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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, 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.
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 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.
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 Nothing that is leavened shall ye eat; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Temulyanga kintu kyonna omuli ekizimbulukusa; mu nnyumba zammwe mwe musula yonna, mulyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And ye shall observe this thing, as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
“Kibagwanira okugondera ebiragiro bino ng’etteeka, mmwe ne batabani bammwe emirembe gyonna.
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.
Era bwe muliyingira mu nsi Mukama gy’alibawa nga bwe yasuubiza, temwerabiranga mukolo guno.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza nti, ‘Omukolo guno gutegeeza ki?’
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.
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 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagenda ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni, bwe batyo bwe baakola.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Also your flocks and your herds take, as ye have spoken, and be gone; and bless me also.
Mutwale amagana gammwe n’ebisibo byammwe nga bwe mwansaba, mugende; nange munsabirangayo omukisa!”
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.
Awo Abamisiri ne basindiikiriza abaana ba Isirayiri banguwe okubaviira mu nsi yaabwe; kubanga baagamba nti, “Ffenna tufa tuggwaawo!”
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.
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 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.
Baakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira, ne basaba Abamisiri eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu, awamu n’ebyambalo.
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.
Mukama yali aleetedde abaana ba Isirayiri okuganja mu Bamisiri, bwe batyo ne baweebwa buli kye baasabanga. Ne baleka nga bakalizza Abamisiri.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Ra'meses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside 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 And a mixed multitude also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, a very large amount of cattle.
Waaliwo n’abantu abalala bangi abaagenda nabo. Baatwala amagana g’ente mangi, n’ebisibo, bingi nnyo.
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.
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 Now the time of the residence of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Emyaka abaana ba Isirayiri gye baamala mu Misiri gyawera ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu.
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.
Ku lunaku olwasembayo olwaweza emyaka ebikumi ebina mu asatu, eggye lya Mukama eryo lyonna kwe lyasitulira ne liva mu nsi y’e 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.
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 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat thereof.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Bino by’ebiragiro by’Okuyitako: “Omunaggwanga takkirizibwa kugiryako.
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
Omuddu aguliddwa n’ensimbi akkirizibwa okugiryako singa amala okukomolebwa;
45 A resident foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.
naye omugenyi omugwira, n’omupakasi akola awaka, tebakkirizibwa kugiryako.
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.
“Buli ndiga eneerirwanga mu nnyumba emu; ennyama eyo tekuubengako efulumizibwa bweru wa nju eyo. Temumenyanga ku magumba gaayo n’erimu.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall prepare it.
Abantu bonna aba Isirayiri banaakolanga omukolo guno.
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.
“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 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Etteeka lye limu lye linaakwatibwanga omuzaaliranwa n’Omunnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe.”
50 And all the children of Israel did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne bakola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni; bwe batyo bonna bwe baakola.
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.
Awo ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’aggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi ey’e Misiri nga bagendera mu bibinja byabwe.
