Exodus 12
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
| وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَائِلاً: | ١ |
2 “This month [is] the chief of months to you—it [is] the first of the months of the year to you;
| «مُنْذُ الآنَ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ رَأْسَ الشُّهُورِ وَأَوَّلَ شُهُورِ السَّنَةِ. | ٢ |
3 speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they take to themselves, each man, a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.
| خَاطِبَا كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلَيْنِ: عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ فِي الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ حَمَلاً لِعَائِلَتِهِ، وَفْقاً لِبُيُوتِ الْآبَاءِ، حَمَلاً لِكُلِّ عَائِلَةٍ. | ٣ |
4 And if the household is too few for a lamb, then he has taken, he and his neighbor who is near to his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating you count for the lamb.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ الْبَيْتُ صَغِيراً لَا يَسْتَهْلِكُ حَمَلاً كَامِلاً، يَتَقَاسَمُهُ هُوَ وَجَارُهُ الْقَرِيبُ مِنْهُ بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ الأَشْخَاصِ الْمَوْجُودِينَ هُنَاكَ، بِمِقْدَارِ مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ مِنَ الْحَمَلِ. | ٤ |
5 A lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let [it] be to you; you take [it] from the sheep or from the goats.
| وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْحَمَلُ ذَكَراً ابْنَ سَنَةٍ، خَالِياً مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ، تَنْتَقُونَهُ مِنَ الْخِرْفَانِ أَوِ الْمَعِيزِ. | ٥ |
6 And it has become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel has slaughtered it between the evenings;
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَكُمْ مَحْفُوظاً حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ. ثُمَّ يَقُومُ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِذَبْحِ الْحُمْلانِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 and they have taken of the blood, and have put [it] on the two doorposts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.
| وَيَأْخُذُونَ الدَّمَ وَيَضَعُونَهُ عَلَى الْقَائِمَتَيْنِ وَالْعَتَبَةِ الْعُلْيَا فِي الْبُيُوتِ الَّتِي يَأْكُلُونَهُ فِيهَا. | ٧ |
8 And they have eaten the flesh in this night, a roast with fire; they eat it with unleavened things and bitters;
| ثُمَّ فِي نَفْسِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ اللَّحْمَ مَشْوِيًّا بِالنَّارِ مَعَ فَطِيرٍ، يَأْكُلُونَهُ مَعَ أَعْشَابٍ مُرَّةٍ. | ٨ |
9 you do not eat of it raw, or boiled in water at all, but a roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its innards;
| لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ نِيئاً أَوْ مَسْلُوقاً، بَلْ مَشْوِيًّا بِنَارٍ، رَأْسَهُ مَعَ أَكَارِعِهِ وَجَوْفِهِ. | ٩ |
10 and you do not leave of it until morning, and that which is remaining of it until morning you burn with fire.
| وَلا تُبْقُوا مِنْهُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ، بَلْ تُحْرِقُونَ كُلَّ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْهُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ بِالنَّارِ. | ١٠ |
11 And thus you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you have eaten it in haste; it is YHWH’s Passover,
| تَأْكُلُونَهُ بِعَجَلَةٍ وَأَحْقَاؤُكُمْ مَشْدُودَةٌ، وَأَحْذِيَتُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَعِصِيُّكُمْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ. فَيَكُونُ هَذَا فِصْحاً لِلرَّبِّ. | ١١ |
12 and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and I do judgments on all the gods of Egypt; I [am] YHWH.
| فَفِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ أَجْتَازُ فِي بِلادِ مِصْرَ وَأَقْتُلُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِيهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَأُجْرِي قَضَاءً عَلَى كُلِّ آلِهَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ. | ١٢ |
13 And the blood has become a sign for you on the houses where you [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My striking in the land of Egypt.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ الدَّمَ الَّذِي عَلَى بُيُوتِكُمُ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا يَكُونُ الْعَلامَةَ الَّتِي تُمَيِّزُكُمْ، فَأَرَى الدَّمَ وَأَعْبُرُ عَنْكُمْ، فَلا تَنْزِلُ بِكُمْ بَلِيَّةُ الْهَلاكِ حِينَ أَبْتَلِي بِها أَرْضَ مِصْرَ. | ١٣ |
14 And this day has become a memorial to you, and you have kept it [for] a celebration to YHWH throughout your generations—a continuous statute; you keep it [for] a celebration.
| وَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ تَذْكَاراً تَحْتَفِلُونَ بِهِ عِيداً لِلرَّبِّ، فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً تَحْتَفِلُونَ بِهِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Seven days you eat unleavened things; only—in the first day you cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for anyone eating anything fermented from the first day until the seventh day, indeed, that person has been cut off from Israel.
| سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَحْتَفِلُونَ، تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا فَطِيراً، تُخْلُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَكَلَ خَمِيراً فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ، تُبَادُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٥ |
16 And in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day you have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person—it alone is done by you,
| وَتُقِيمُونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ حَفْلاً مُقَدَّساً، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ. لَا يُجْرَى فِيهِمَا عَمَلٌ مَا إلّا تَجْهِيزُ طَعَامِ الأَكْلِ. هَذَا كُلُّ مَا تَعْمَلُونَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 and you have observed the Unleavened Things, for in this very day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and you have observed this day throughout your generations—a continuous statute.
| وَتَحْتَفِلُونَ بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ، لأَنَّنِي فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ أَخْرَجْتُ أَجْنَادَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَاحْتَفِلُوا بِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمُ الْمُقْبِلَةِ. | ١٧ |
18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you eat unleavened things until the twenty-first day of the month, at evening;
| وَمُنْذُ مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ وَحَتَّى مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الْحَادِي وَالعِشْرِينَ مِنْهُ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً. | ١٨ |
19 seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for anyone eating anything fermented—that person has been cut off from the congregation of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;
| سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَخْلُو بُيُوتُكُمْ مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَكَلَ خُبْزاً مُخْتَمِراً يُبَادُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الْغَرِيبُ وَالمُوَاطِنُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءَ. | ١٩ |
20 you do not eat anything fermented—in all your dwellings you eat [only] unleavened things.”
| لَا تَأْكُلُوا شَيْئاً مُخْتَمِراً، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً». | ٢٠ |
21 And Moses calls for all [the] elderly of Israel and says to them, “Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the Passover-sacrifice;
| ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى كُلَّ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا وَانْتَقُوا حُمْلاناً بِحَسَبِ عَائِلاتِكُمْ وَاذْبَحُوا حَمَلَ الْفِصْحِ. | ٢١ |
22 and you have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and you, you do not go out—each from the opening of his house—until morning.
| ثُمَّ خُذُوا بَاقَةَ زُوفَا وَاغْمِسُوهَا فِي الدَّمِ الَّذِي تَصَفَّى فِي الإِنَاءِ وَاطْلُوا بِهِ عَتَبَةَ الْبَابِ الْعُلْيَا وَالْقَائِمَتَيْنِ، وَلا يَخْرُجُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ. | ٢٢ |
23 And YHWH has passed on to strike the Egyptians, and has seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, and YHWH has passed over the opening, and does not permit the destruction to come into your houses to strike.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَجْتَازُ لَيْلاً لِيُهْلِكَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَحِينَ يَرَى الدَّمَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ الْعُلْيَا وَالْقَائِمَتَيْنِ يَعْبُرُ عَنِ الْبَابِ وَلا يَدَعُ الْمُهْلِكَ يَدْخُلُ بُيُوتَكُمْ لِيَضْرِبَكُمْ. | ٢٣ |
24 And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time;
| فَتُمَارِسُونَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ فَرِيضَةً لَكُمْ وَلأَوْلادِكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢٤ |
25 and it has been, when you come to the land which YHWH gives to you as He has spoken, that you have kept this service;
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلُونَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُمَارِسُونَ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ. | ٢٥ |
26 and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have?
| وَيَكُونُ حِينَ يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ: مَاذَا تَعْنِي هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةُ لَكُمْ؟ | ٢٦ |
27 That you have said, It [is] a sacrifice of Passover to YHWH, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His striking the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.”
| تُجِيبُونَهُمْ آنَئِذٍ: إِنَّهَا ذَبِيحَةُ فِصْحٍ لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي عَبَرَ عَنْ بُيُوتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مِصْرَ عِنْدَمَا أَهْلَكَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَأَنْقَذَ بُيُوتَنَا». فَحَنَى الشَّعْبُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ سَاجِدِينَ. | ٢٧ |
28 And the people bow and pay respect, and the sons of Israel go and do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
| فَمَضَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَعَلُوا تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And it comes to pass, at midnight, that YHWH has struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and every firstborn of beasts.
| وَفِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ أَهْلَكَ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي بِلادِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ الْمُتَرَبِّعِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ إِلَى بِكْرِ الْحَبِيسِ فِي السِّجْنِ، وَأَبْكَارَ الْبَهَائِمِ جَمِيعاً أَيْضاً. | ٢٩ |
30 And Pharaoh rises by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not [one] dead,
| فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَحَاشِيَتُهُ وَجَمِيعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَإذَا عَوِيلٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوْجَدْ بَيْتٌ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَيْتٌ. | ٣٠ |
31 and he calls for Moses and for Aaron by night and says, “Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the sons of Israel, and go, serve YHWH according to your word;
| فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ لَيْلاً قَائِلاً: «قُومُوا وَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ أَنْتُمَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَانْطَلِقُوا اعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ كَمَا طَلَبْتُمْ، | ٣١ |
32 take both your flock and your herd as you have spoken, and go; then you have also blessed me.”
| وَخُذُوا مَعَكُمْ غَنَمَكُمْ وَبَقَرَكُمْ كَمَا سَأَلْتُمْ وَامْضُوا وَبَارِكُونِي أَيْضاً». | ٣٢ |
33 And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hastening to send them away out of the land, for they said, “We are all dead”;
| وَأَلَحَّ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ لِيُسْرِعُوا فِي الارْتِحَالِ عَنِ الْبِلادِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِئَلّا نَمُوتَ جَمِيعاً». | ٣٣ |
34 and the people take up their dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
| فَصَرَّ الشَّعْبُ فِي ثِيَابِهِمْ مَعَاجِنَهُمْ وَعَجِينَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْتَمِرَ، وَحَمَلُوهَا عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ، | ٣٤ |
35 And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask for vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments, from the Egyptians;
| وَطَلَبُوا مِنَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ آنِيَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَباً وَثِيَاباً بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِ مُوسَى. | ٣٥ |
36 and YHWH has given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.
| وَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ الشَّعْبَ يَحْظَى بِرِضَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَأَعْطَوْهُمْ كُلَّ مَا طَلَبُوهُ، فَغَنِمُوا مِنَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ٣٦ |
37 And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
| وَارْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ رَعَمْسِيسَ إِلَى سُكُّوتَ فَكَانُوا نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ المُشَاةِ مَاعَدَا النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلادَ. | ٣٧ |
38 and a great rabble has also gone up with them, and flock and herd—very much livestock.
| وَكَذَلِكَ انْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمْ حَشْدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، مَعَ غَنَمٍ وَمَوَاشٍ وَقُطْعَانٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ٣٨ |
39 And they bake unleavened cakes with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt, for it has not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also they have not made provision for themselves.
| ثُمَّ خَبَزُوا الْعَجِينَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجُوهُ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ خُبْزَ مَلَّةٍ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُخْتَمِراً، إذْ أَنَّهُمْ طُرِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَتَأَخَّرُوا فَمَا أَعَدُّوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ زَاداً. | ٣٩ |
40 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel [in] which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
| وَكَانَتْ مُدَّةُ غُرْبَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي أَقَامُوهَا فِي مِصْرَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. | ٤٠ |
41 and it comes to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years—indeed, it comes to pass on this very same day—all the hosts of YHWH have gone out from the land of Egypt.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ بِالذَّاتِ، فِي خِتَامِ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً خَرَجَ جَمِيعُ أَجْنَادِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤١ |
42 It [is] a night of watchings to YHWH, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night of watchings to YHWH to all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.
| هِيَ لَيْلَةٌ تُكَرَّسُ لِلرَّبِّ إذْ أَخْرَجَهُمْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةُ هِيَ لِلرَّبِّ، يُكَرِّسُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَجْيَالِهِمْ. | ٤٢ |
43 And YHWH says to Moses and Aaron, “This [is] a statute of the Passover; any son of a stranger does not eat of it;
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ مَرَاسِيمُ الْفِصْحِ: لَا يَأْكُلُ غَرِيبٌ مِنْهُ. | ٤٣ |
44 and any man’s servant, the purchase of money, when you have circumcised him—then he eats of it;
| كُلُّ عَبْدٍ مُشْتَرَى بِفِضَّةٍ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْتِنَهُ. | ٤٤ |
45 a settler or hired servant does not eat of it;
| النَّزِيلُ وَالأَجِيرُ لَا يَأْكُلانِ مِنْهُ. | ٤٥ |
46 it is eaten in one house, you do not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh outside, and you do not break a bone of it;
| يُؤْكَلُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ فَلا تَحْمِلْ لَحْماً إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَنْزِلِ، وَلا تَكْسِرْ مِنْهُ عَظْماً. | ٤٦ |
47 all the congregation of Israel keeps it.
| وَعَلَى كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ تَحْتَفِلَ بِهِ. | ٤٧ |
48 And when a sojourner sojourns with you, and has made a Passover to YHWH, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he comes near to keep it, and he has been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one does not eat of it;
| وَإذَا عَزَمَ غَرِيبٌ مُقِيمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ يَحْتَفِلَ بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ فَلْيُخْتَنْ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، ثُمَّ يَحْتَفِلُ بِهِ، فَيَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ كَمَوْلُودِ الأَرْضِ. لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَيُّ ذَكَرٍ أَغْلَفَ. | ٤٨ |
49 one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.”
| فَتَسُودُ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةُ عَلَى الْمُوَاطِنِ وَالدَّخِيلِ الْمُقِيمِ بَيْنَكُمْ». | ٤٩ |
50 And all the sons of Israel do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
| فَفَعَلَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ. | ٥٠ |
51 And it comes to pass on this very same day, YHWH has brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ أَخْرَجَ الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ فِرَقِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. | ٥١ |
