< Exodus 12 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu nʼala Ijipt sị ha,
2 “This month [is] the chief of months to you—it [is] the first of the months of the year to you;
“Ọnwa a ga-abụrụ unu isi ọnwa. Ọ ga-abụ ọnwa mbụ nke ọnwa niile nʼafọ unu.
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.
Gwa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, Nʼafọ ọbụla, nʼabalị iri nke ọnwa a, nwoke ọbụla ga-eweta nwa atụrụ nʼisi ezinaụlọ ọbụla.
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.
Ezinaụlọ ọbụla nke dịkarịrị nta, nke na-enweghị ike iweta na iricha otu nwa atụrụ, ga-ejekwuru ezinaụlọ ọzọ dịkwa nta, ka ha jikọtaa onwe ha ọnụ weta nwa atụrụ. Ndị ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ aghaghị ibu ụzọ pịa mmadụ ole ha ga-adị nwee ike richaa otu atụrụ.
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.
Nwa atụrụ a ga-eweta ga-abụ oke gbara naanị otu afọ, nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla nʼahụ ya. Unu nwere ike họrọ atụrụ maọbụ ewu.
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;
Unu ga-elekọta ya anya ruo nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa a. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ ka ọgbakọ Izrel niile ga-egbu ya.
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.
Ha ga-ewere ọbara ya tee nʼelu na nʼakụkụ ibo ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼezinaụlọ ha niile, ebe ha ga-anọ rie anụ atụrụ ahụ.
8 And they have eaten the flesh in this night, a roast with fire; they eat it with unleavened things and bitters;
Ha ga-eri anụ atụrụ a, nke a ga-ahụ nʼọkụ nʼabalị ahụ, ya na achịcha na-ekoghị eko, na ahịhịa ndụ na-elu ilu.
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;
A gaghị eri nwa atụrụ ọbụla na ndụ, a gaghị esikwa ya esi, kama a ga-ahụ ya nʼọkụ. A ga-ahụ akụkụ ahụ nwa atụrụ ọbụla nʼọkụ, tinyere isi ya, ụkwụ ya na ihe dị nʼime afọ ya.
10 and you do not leave of it until morning, and that which is remaining of it until morning you burn with fire.
Unu agaghị erifọdụ ya ruo nʼụtụtụ echi ya. Nke ọbụla ga-afọdụ nʼabalị ahụ, a ga-akpọ ya ọkụ.
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,
Otu a ka unu ga-esi rie ya: yirinụ uwe unu, na akpụkpọụkwụ unu. Jirikwanụ mkpara unu. Jikerenụ dịka ndị na-aga njem dị anya. Unu ga-eri anụ atụrụ a na achịcha na-ekoghị eko ngwangwa. A ga-akpọ oriri a Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị.
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.
“Aga m agafe nʼala Ijipt nʼabalị ahụ, igbu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ. Aga m emekwa ka ikpe ọmụma bịakwasị chi ndị ọzọ ahụ niile Ijipt na-efe ofufe. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ọbara ahụ unu ga-ete nʼọnụ ibo ụlọ unu ga-abụ ihe ama igosi ebe unu bi, nʼihi na mgbe m hụrụ ọbara ahụ, aga m agafe unu. Ọ nwekwaghị ihe otiti ga-abịakwasị unu mgbe m ga-egbu ndị Ijipt.
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.
“Ụbọchị a ga-abụrụ unu ihe ncheta nye ọgbọ niile ndị na-eso nʼazụ. Unu ga-emekwa ya ka ọ bụrụ mmemme nye Onyenwe anyị. Ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
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.
Ụbọchị asaa ka unu ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ụbọchị asaa ahụ, ka unu ga-esite nʼụlọ unu wezuga ihe iko achịcha niile, nʼihi na onye ọbụla riri nri nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya site nʼụbọchị mbụ ruo nʼụbọchị nke asaa, aghaghị ibipụ ya site nʼala Izrel.
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,
Unu ga-ewere ụbọchị mbụ na ụbọchị nke asaa, nke mmemme ahụ, nwee mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Onye ọbụla agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị abụọ ndị a, karịakwa isi nri unu ga-eri.
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.
“Unu ga-edobekwa mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime otu ụbọchị a ka m sitere nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu dịka usuu ndị agha. Unu ga-emekwa mmemme ụbọchị a ka ọ bụrụ ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ
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;
Nʼọnwa mbụ, nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị nke iri na anọ, ka unu ga-eri achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee ruo nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị iri abụọ na otu.
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;
Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, agaghị ahụ ihe na-eko achịcha nʼụlọ unu. A ga-esite nʼọgbakọ ndị Izrel bipụ onye ọbụla riri ihe ọbụla nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya. Iwu a dịrị ndị ọbịa niile nʼala Izrel, dịkwara ndị nwa afọ ala.
20 you do not eat anything fermented—in all your dwellings you eat [only] unleavened things.”
Unu agaghị eri ihe ọbụla e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee. Nʼebe obibi unu niile, ọ bụ naanị achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka unu ga-eri.”
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;
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kpọkọtara ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ họpụta ụmụ atụrụ nʼihi agbụrụ unu niile, gbuonụ atụrụ ngabiga ndị a.
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.
Were ahịhịa hisọp, denye ya nʼọbara si nʼatụrụ ndị a nke a ga-awụnye nʼefere, tee ya nʼelu ibo na nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu agaghị apụ nʼezi tutu ruo ụtụtụ.
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.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-agafe igbu ndị Ijipt, ọ ga-ahụ ọbara ahụ nʼawara na mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Ọ ga-agafe ụlọ unu, gharakwa ikwe ka onye mbibi bata nʼụlọ unu gbuo unu.
24 And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time;
“Unu ga-edobe mmemme a dịka iwu ga-adịgide nye unu na ụmụ unu.
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;
Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye unu dịka o kwere na nkwa, unu ga-edobe ofufe a.
26 and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have?
Mgbe ụmụ unu ga-ajụ unu ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka ofufe a pụtara?’
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.”
Unu ga-azaghachi ha sị, ‘Ọ bụ aja ngabiga anyị na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ gafere ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nʼala Ijipt, mgbe o gburu ndị Ijipt, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị o gburu.’”
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.
Ụmụ Izrel mezuru ihe niile Onyenwe anyị gwara ha site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
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.
Nʼime etiti abalị ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gburu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, malite nʼọkpara Fero onye nọ nʼocheeze ya, ruo nʼọkpara nke onye Ijipt nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ olulu. O gbukwara ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ.
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,
Nʼabalị ahụ kwa, Fero na ndị ozi ya, na ndị Ijipt niile biliri. Oke iti mkpu akwa dakwara nʼala Ijipt, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ezinaụlọ ọnwụ na-erughị.
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;
Nʼotu abalị ahụ, Fero zipụrụ ozi ka a kpọ Mosis na Erọn. Mgbe ha bịara, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ngwa bilienụ, unu bụ ụmụ Izrel niile. Kewapụnụ onwe unu site nʼetiti anyị. Gaanụ, fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe dịka unu rịọrọ.
32 take both your flock and your herd as you have spoken, and go; then you have also blessed me.”
Durunụ igwe ehi na atụrụ unu mgbe unu na-aga. Gọziekwanụ m mgbe unu na-apụ.”
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”;
Ndị Ijipt gbalịrị ime ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ha ngwangwa. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ Izrel ahapụghị anyị ugbu a, anyị niile ga-anwụkwa.”
34 and the people take up their dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel buuru ụtụ ọka e ji eme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nke ha tinyere nʼefere e ji agwakọta ya. Ha ji akwa kechie ha, bukwasị ha nʼubu ha.
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;
Ha mekwara ihe ndị ọzọ dịka Mosis gwara ha. Ha rịọrọ ndị Ijipt ka ha nye ha ihe iji ngwa nke ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na uwe.
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.
Onyenwe anyị nyere ndị ya amara nʼihu ndị Ijipt, ha nyere ha ihe niile ha rịọrọ. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, ụmụ Izrel napụtara ndị Ijipt ihe niile ha ji biri nʼụlọ.
37 And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ụmụ Izrel malitere ije ha site na Ramesis. Mgbe ha hapụrụ Ramesis, na-eje Sukọt, ha dị narị puku ndị ikom isii, na-agụghị ndị inyom na ụmụntakịrị.
38 and a great rabble has also gone up with them, and flock and herd—very much livestock.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ dị iche iche sooro ha nʼije ha. Ha dukwa igwe anụ ụlọ, igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, nke dị ukwu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
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.
Ha ji ụtụ ọka ha si Ijipt buputa mee achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼihi na a chụpụrụ ha achụpụ site nʼIjipt, ha enweghị ezi ohere kwadooro onwe ha ihe oriri.
40 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel [in] which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
Tupu ha ahapụ ala Ijipt, ụmụ Izrel ebiela nʼebe ahụ narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ.
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.
Mgbe narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ zuru, nʼụbọchị ahụ o zuru, usuu ndị Onyenwe anyị niile hapụrụ Ijipt.
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.
Onyenwe anyị chere nche nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ maka ịkpọpụta ha site nʼala Ijipt. Nʼihi ya, abalị ụbọchị ahụ bụ mgbe pụrụ iche nye ụmụ Izrel maka iji iche nche sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼọgbọ ha niile.
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;
Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha sị, “Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara Mmemme Ngabiga: “Onye mba ọzọ agaghị eri anụ nwa atụrụ ahụ.
44 and any man’s servant, the purchase of money, when you have circumcised him—then he eats of it;
Ohu ọbụla a kwụrụ ụgwọ nʼisi ya ga-eri ya naanị ma e biri ya ugwu.
45 a settler or hired servant does not eat of it;
Ohu e goro ọrụ, maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla agaghị eri ya.
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;
“A ga-eri ya naanị nʼime otu ụlọ. Ọ gaghị apụ nʼezi. Unu agaghị atapịa ọkpụkpụ ọbụla nke nwa atụrụ ahụ.
47 all the congregation of Israel keeps it.
Nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel ga-eme Mmemme Ngabiga a.
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;
“Onye mba ọzọ bi nʼetiti unu chọrọ isoro unu na Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ibi ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya ugwu. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-abịaru nso isoro na mmemme, nʼihi na a ga-agụ ya dịka nwa afọ ala. Ọ dịghị onye ikom a na-ebighị ugwu ga-eri nri ahụ.
49 one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.”
Otu iwu a dịrị nwa afọ ala na ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼala Izrel.”
50 And all the sons of Israel do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
Ụmụ Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
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.
Ọ bụkwa nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼala Ijipt dupụta ụmụ Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị.
