< Exodus 12 >

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron nan peyi Égypte la:
2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
“Mwa sa a va vin premye nan mwa yo pou nou. Li va premye mwa nan ane a pou nou.
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
“Pale a tout asanble Israël la, e di: ‘Nan dizyèm mwa sa a, yo chak va pran yon jenn mouton pou yo menm, selon kay pa yo, yon mouton pou chak kay.
4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
Alò, si kay la twò piti pou yon jenn mouton, li menm avèk vwazen li ap pran youn pou kont yo, selon kantite moun ki nan yo selon sa ke chak moun ta kab manje, nou va divize jenn mouton an.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
“‘Jenn mouton nou an va yon jenn mal, ak laj yon lane, san defo. Nou ka pran li pami mouton yo, oswa kabrit yo.
6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
Nou va kenbe li jis rive nan katòzyèm jou nan menm mwa sa a, e tout asanble kongregasyon Israël la va touye li nan aswè.
7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
Anplis, yo va pran kèk nan san an, e mete li sou de chanbrann pòt kay la, ak sou de travès lento pòt kay la kote yo va manje li a.
8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
“‘Yo va manje chè a menm nwit lan, boukannen li nan dife, e yo va manje li avèk pen san ledven, ak zèb anmè.
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
Pa manje anyen nan li ki pa kwit, ni ki bouyi avèk okenn dlo, men pito ki boukannen nan dife, ni tèt li, ni janm li yo ansanm avèk zantray li yo.
10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
Epi nou pa pou kite anyen nan li pou maten men nenpòt sa ki rete nan li, nan maten nou va brile li nan dife.
11 This is how you shall eat it: with your waist girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's Passover.
Alò, nou va manje li konsa: avèk senti nou mare, sapat nan pye nou ak baton nou nan men nou; epi nou va manje li byen vit—sa se Pak SENYÈ a.
12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
“‘Paske Mwen va pase nan peyi Égypte la nan nwit lan, e Mwen va frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte la, ni moun, ni bèt. Epi kont tout dye an Égypte yo, Mwen va egzekite jijman—Mwen menm se SENYÈ a.
13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
San an va yon sign pou nou sou kay kote nou rete yo. Lè Mwen wè san an, Mwen va pase sou nou, e nanpwen touman k ap rive nou, ni detwi nou lè Mwen frape peyi Égypte la.
14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
“‘Alò, jou sa a va vin yon jou pa janm bliye pou nou, e nou va selebre li kòm yon fèt a SENYÈ a. Pami tout jenerasyon yo nou gen pou fete li kòm yon règleman k ap la pou tout tan.’”
15 "'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
“Pandan Sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, men nan premye jou a, nou va retire tout ledven ki nan kay nou yo. Paske nenpòt moun ki manje nenpòt bagay avèk ledven depi nan premye jou a jis rive nan setyèm jou a, moun sa va koupe retire nèt de Israël.
16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
“Nan premye jou a nou va fè yon konvokasyon sen, e yon lòt konvokasyon sen nan setyèm jou a. P ap gen travay k ap fèt nan yo, sof sa ki oblije fèt pou manje a chak moun; se sa sèl nou kapab prepare.
17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your regiments out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
“Nou va osi obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an, paske nan jou sa a menm, Mwen te fè lame nou yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Pou sa, nou va obsève jou sa pandan jenerasyon nou yo kòm yon règleman k ap la pou tout tan.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
“Nan premye mwa a, nan katòzyèm jou nan mwa a, nan aswè, nou va manje pen san ledven an, jiska vente-yen jou nan mwa a, lè l rive nan aswè.
19 For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that person must be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
Pandan sèt jou yo nou pa pou twouve ledven lakay nou paske nenpòt moun ki manje sa ki leve, moun sa a va vin koupe retire nèt de asanble Israël la, menm si se yon etranje, oswa yon natif peyi a.
20 You must eat nothing leavened. In all your places where you live you must eat unleavened bread.'"
Nou pa pou manje anyen avèk ledven. Nan tout abitasyon nou yo nou va manje pen san ledven.”
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, "Go and select lambs according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.
Alò, Moïse te rele tout ansyen Israël yo e te di yo: “Ale pran pou nou menm jenn mouton yo selon fanmi nou, e touye jenn mouton Pak la.
22 And you are to take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply it on the top and on both sides of the doorframe with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you is to go out of the door of his house until morning.
Nou va pran yon pake izòp e fonse li nan san basen an, epi mete kèk nan san basen an sou de chanbrann yo avèk travès lento pòt yo. Pèsòn pa pou ale deyò pòt kay li jis rive nan maten.
23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
Paske SENYÈ a va travèse pou frape Ejipsyen yo; epi lè Li wè san sou travès lento pòt yo, ak sou de chanbrann pòt yo, SENYÈ a va pase sou pòt la, e Li p ap kite destriktè a antre nan kay nou pou frape nou.
24 And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
“Epi nou va obsève evènman sa a kòm yon règleman pou nou menm avèk pitit nou yo pou tout tan.
25 And it shall come to pass when you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you must keep this ceremony.
Lè nou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a va bannou an, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, nou va obsève sèvis sakre sila a.
26 And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
“Epi lè pitit nou di nou: ‘Kisa sa vle di selon sèvis sila a?’
27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, because he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed down and worshiped.
Nou va di: ‘Sa se yon sakrifis Pak la pou SENYÈ a ki te pase sou kay a fis Israël yo nan Égypte lè Li t ap frape Ejipsyen yo, men te epanye lakay nou.’” Konsa, pèp la te bese ba, e te adore.
28 Then the children of Israel went away and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Alò, fis Israël yo te ale fè sa, jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse avèk Aaron an, konsa yo te fè.
29 And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of livestock.
Alò li te vin rive nan minwi, SENYÈ a te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, depi premye ne a Farawon ki te chita sou twòn li an, jis rive nan premye ne nan kaptif ki te nan prizon yo, e menm tout premye ne nan bèt yo.
30 And Pharaoh got up during the night, he, and all his servants, and all Egypt, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.
Farawon te leve nan nwit lan, li ak sèvitè li yo avèk tout Ejipsyen yo. Yo te gen yon gwo lamantasyon nan tout Égypte la, paske pa t gen kay kote moun pa t mouri.
31 Then he summoned for Moses and Aaron during the night, and said, "Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have requested.
Epi li te rele Moïse avèk Aaron nan nwit lan. Li te di yo: “Leve e kite pèp mwen an, ni nou menm, ni fis Israël yo. Ale adore SENYÈ a, jan nou te di a.
32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."
Pran ni bann mouton nou yo, ni twoupo nou yo, jan nou te di a, epi ale. Konsa, beni mwen tou!”
33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
Ejipsyen yo ak ijans menm, te ankouraje pèp la pou kite peyi a byen vit, paske yo te di: “Nou tout pral mouri.”
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
Alò pèp la te pran pat farin ki potko leve yo, ak bòl pou petri yo byen mare nan rad yo, sou zepòl yo.
35 Now the children of Israel did according to what Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing.
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè selon pawòl a Moïse la, paske yo te mande nan men Ejipsyen yo, bagay ki fèt an ajan, bagay ki fèt avèk lò, avèk vètman.
36 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted. And so they plundered Egypt.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te bay pèp la favè nan zye Ejipsyen yo, jiskaske yo te sede a demann sa a. Konsa, yo te vin piyaje Ejipsyen yo.
37 And the children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides their dependents.
Alò, fis Israël yo te vwayaje soti nan Ramsès rive Succoth, anviwon sis-san-mil òm apye, san kontwole timoun.
38 And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.
Yon gran foul byen mele osi te monte avèk yo, menm avèk bann mouton ak twoupo, yon trè gran kantite bèt.
39 And they baked unleavened loaves using the dough that they had brought out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
Yo te kwit pat farin ke yo te fè sòti an Égypte yo, e yo te fè gato ak pen san ledven yo. Li pa t leve, akòz ke yo te chase sòti an Égypte, e yo pa t kab pran reta, ni yo pa t prepare okenn manje pou yo menm.
40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Alò tan ke fis Israël yo te pase an Égypte la te kat-san-trant ane.
41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, it came to pass that all the regiments of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Nan fen kat-san-trant ane yo, jis rive nan jou a menm, tout lame SENYÈ a te sòti an Égypte.
42 It was a night when the LORD kept vigil to bring them out from the land of Egypt. So on this night all the children of Israel must keep a vigil to the LORD throughout their generations.
Se yon nwit pou nou obsève pou SENYÈ a, paske li fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Nwit sa a se pou SENYÈ a, pou obsève pa tout fis Israël yo selon tout jenerasyon pa yo.
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat of it,
SENYÈ a te di a Moise avèk Aaron: “Sa se òdonans Pak la. Okenn etranje pa pou manje li;
44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
men esklav a chak moun, achte avèk lajan, lè nou fin sikonsi li, alò, li kapab manje nan li.
45 A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
Yon etranje ki rete pami nou, oswa yon sèvitè ki anplwaye, pa pou manje l.
46 It is to be eaten in one house. You must not take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.
“Li oblije manje nan yon sèl kay. Nou pa pou mennen okenn nan chè a andeyò kay la, ni nou pa pou kase okenn nan zo li.
47 All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.
Tout asanble Israël la dwe obsève fèt sa a.
48 If a foreigner lives with you and wants to keep the Passover to the LORD, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may take part and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
“Men si yon etranje rete avèk nou, li selebre fèt Pak la bay SENYÈ a, ke tout mal gason li yo vin sikonsi, e kite li pwoche pou selebre li. Konsa, li va devni yon natif peyi a. Men okenn moun san sikonsisyon pa pou manje li.
49 The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
Menm règ sa a va aplike a natif la tankou etranje ki demere pami nou yo.”
50 So all the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Alò, tout fis Israël yo te fè sa. Yo te fè sa jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse avèk Aaron an.
51 And it happened on this very day that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
Epi nan menm jou sa a, SENYÈ a te mennen fis Israël yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la selon lòd lame pa yo.
