Exodus 12
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Ɛberɛ a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
“Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, bosome yi bɛyɛ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ Yudafoɔ asranna so.
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;
Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, saa bosome yi ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara pɛ odwammaa baako de ma nʼabusua. Ɛsɛ sɛ efie biara nya odwammaa no baako.
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.
Sɛ abusua bi mu nnipa sua a wɔrentumi nwe odwammaa no a, wɔtumi ne abusua bi a ɛbɛn wɔn wɔ mpasua no so a wɔn nso sua kyɛ odwammaa no. Aboa no kyɛ wɔ saa ɛkwan no so no gyina abusua no kɛseɛ ne ɛnam dodoɔ a wɔbɛtumi awe so.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ deɛ wadi afe. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ odwan anaa abirekyie a ɔnnii dɛm.
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.
Monhwɛ saa mmoa a moayiyi wɔn yi yie nkɔsi ɔbosome a ɛdii ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ. Afei Israel asafo nyinaa nkunkum wɔn nnwammaa no dasuo mu.
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.
Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra efie biara aponnwa ho. Odwammaa a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛdeɛ yi.
8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
Anadwo, obiara bɛwe aboa no a wɔatoto no nam no bi. Wɔmfa burodo a ɛnkaeɛ ne awɔnwono nni.
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.
Wɔnnnoa ɛnam no na wɔnnwe no mono nso, na mmom, wɔntoto aboa mu no nyinaa, a ne ti ne nan ne nʼayamdeɛ nyinaa ka ho.
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.
Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, deɛ ɛbɛka no, sɛ adeɛ kye so a, monnwe na mmom monhye no.
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.
Sɛdeɛ monwe ɛnam no nie: monwe wɔ ɛberɛ a mo ntadeɛ a mode tu ɛkwan hyehyɛ mo. Monsiesie mo ho mma ɛkwan tenten twa. Monhyɛ mo asopatere na momfa mo mpoma nkurakura. Monwe no ɔherɛ so. Saa adeyɛ yi, wɔbɛfrɛ no Awurade Twam Afahyɛ.
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.
“Na mɛtwam afa Misraim asase so anadwo yi na mmammarima a wɔyɛ mmakan ne mmoa mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, mɛkum wɔn, na mabu anyame a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade!
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.
Mogya a mode bɛyɛ aponnwa no ho no bɛyɛ agyinahyɛdeɛ enti, sɛ mehunu mogya no a, mɛtwam akɔ, na sɛ merekum Misraim mmakan a, merenkum mo deɛ bi.
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.
“Yei yɛ ɛda a ɛsɛ sɛ mokaeɛ. Afe biara, ɛfiri awontoatoasoɔ kɔsi awontoatoasoɔ ɛsɛ sɛ mohyɛ ɛfa no sɛ afahyɛ sononko ma Awurade. Yei yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ ɛda biara.
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.
Nnanson no mu, monni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ nko ara. Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, monyiyi mmɔreka biara mfiri mo afie mu. Obiara a saa ɛberɛ yi mu ɔbɛbu saa afahyɛ yi mmara yi so no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo afiri Israelman mu.
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.
Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan ne ne nnanson soɔ no, nnipa no nyinaa bɛdi ɛda no sɛ ɛda a wɔayi asi hɔ ama nhyiamu kronkron. Na nna no mu, aduanenoa akyiri no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma foforɔ biara.
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.
“Sɛ modi Apiti Afahyɛ yi a, ɛbɛma mo akae daa sɛ, saa ɛda no na meyii mo firii Misraim asase so. Enti, ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara, modi saa dapɔnna yi firi awo ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so.
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.
Ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ kɔsi nʼadaduonu ɛda baako so no, burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu nko ara na monni.
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.
Saa nnanson no mu, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhunu mmɔreka kakra bi koraa wɔ mo afie mu. Enti, obiara a ɔbɛdi aduane a mmɔreka wɔ mu no, wɔbɛyi no afiri Israel asafo kuo no mu. Saa mmara yi ka amamfrafoɔ a wɔne mo te ne wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so nyinaa.
20 You must eat nothing leavened. In all your places where you live you must eat unleavened bread.'"
Mesane meti mu bio sɛ, saa nna no mu monnni biribiara a wɔde mmɔreka afra mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu.”
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.
Afei, Mose frɛɛ Israel mpanimfoɔ nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔkyekyere odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba mma abusua biara, na monkum no sɛ Twam Afahyɛ aboa.
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.
Montwa odwan no mogya ngu kyɛnsee bi mu. Momfa hisope mmɔ mogya no mu na momfa mpete aponnwatifi ne aponnwa mmienu a aka no ho sɛdeɛ mogya no bɛda ho. Mowie a, mo mu biara mmfiri nkɔ abɔntene saa anadwo no.
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.
Awurade bɛtwam afa asase yi so akunkum Misraimfoɔ. Na sɛ ɔhunu sɛ mogya wɔ aponnwatifi no ne aponnwa mmienu no ho a, ɔbɛtwa saa efie no ho akɔ a ɔremma ɔsɛefoɔ no nwura hɔ nkunkum mo mmakan.
24 And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
“Na monkae sɛ yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefoɔ.
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.
Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
26 And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo sɛ, ‘Yeinom nyinaa ase ne sɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa ɛdeɛn ho 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.
mobɛbua wɔn sɛ, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔtwaa Israelfoɔ afie ho wɔ Misraim. Ɛwom sɛ ɔkunkumm Misraimfoɔ deɛ, nanso ɔgyaa yɛn mmusua.’” Ɛberɛ a Mose kasa wieeɛ no, nnipa no nyinaa koto sɔreeɛ.
28 Then the children of Israel went away and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Na Israelfoɔ no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛdeɛ no so.
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.
Ɛda no ara anadwo dasuo mu Awurade kunkumm mmarimaa a wɔyɛ abakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, ɛfiri Farao babarima panin so kɔsi odeduani babarima panin ne anantwie nso mmakan nyinaa.
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.
Afei, Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa sɔree anadwo no. Misraiman no nyinaa twaa agyaadwoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, efie biara nni hɔ a onipa anwu wɔ mu.
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.
Enti, Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron anadwo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mesrɛ mo, mo nyinaa montu mfiri ha. Monkɔsom Awurade sɛdeɛ mokaeɛ no.
32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."
Momfa mo nnwan ne mo anantwie na monkɔ. Nanso monhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
Misraimfoɔ no nyinaa ani beree Israelfoɔ no so pampam wɔn sɛ wɔmfiri asase no so ntɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛwuwu.”
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
Israelfoɔ no faa wɔn mmɔre a wɔafɔtɔ a mmɔreka mfra mu, na wɔde wɔn ntadeɛ kyekyeree wɔn mmɔrefɔtɔ nnaka de sisii wɔn mmati so.
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.
Na Israelfoɔ no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinneɛ ne ntadeɛ afiri Misraimfoɔ no nkyɛn sɛdeɛ Mose kaa sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
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.
Awurade maa Misraimfoɔ no hunuu Israelfoɔ no mmɔbɔ enti wɔmaa wɔn wɔn abisadeɛ nyinaa. Ɛnam saa yɛ so maa Israelfoɔ no twee Misraimfoɔ ahonyadeɛ nyinaa kɔeɛ.
37 And the children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides their dependents.
Anadwo no ara, Israelfoɔ no siim firii Rameses kɔɔ Sukot. Na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ nnipa mpem ahansia a wɔnam fam, a mmaa ne mmɔfra de wɔankan wɔn anka ho.
38 And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.
Nnipa ahodoɔ pii bi a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ kaa wɔn ho kɔeɛ. Wɔde wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie nyinaa kaa wɔn ho.
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.
Wɔduruu baabi a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdidi no, wɔde mmɔre a wɔamfa mmɔreka amfra a wɔde kɔeɛ no bi too burodo diiɛ. Na mmɔreka nni mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Misraimfoɔ no pamoo wɔn. Ɛno enti wɔannya mu ɛkwan anyɛ aduane a wɔbɛdi wɔ ɛkwan so.
40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Israelfoɔ no tenaa Misraim mfeɛ ahanan ne aduasa.
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.
Na ɛda a wɔdii mfeɛ ahanan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa firii asase no so.
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.
Saa anadwo no ne ɛberɛ a Awurade yi too hɔ de gyee ne nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim asase so. Enti, saa anadwo korɔ no ara na Israelfoɔ no yi de too hɔ sɛ ɛda a Onyankopɔn gyee wɔn no afirinhyia ɛda.
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat of it,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔhoɔ biara nnwe odwammaa no ɛnam no bi.
44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
Nanso, ɔsomfoɔ biara a wɔtee sika tɔɔ no no, sɛ wɔatwa no twetia deɛ a, ɔtumi we bi.
45 A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔhoɔ biara nnwe bi.
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.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe Twam Afahyɛ aboa biara wɔ efie baako mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe ɛnam no wɔ fie. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔwe ɛnam no fa biara wɔ abɔntene. Ɛnsɛ sɛ mobɔ dompe mu.
47 All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa di saa nkaeɛda yi berɛ korɔ mu.
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.
“Ahɔhoɔ a mo ne wɔn te no nso, sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa twa twetia ansa na wɔaba ne mo abɛdi. Na sɛ ɛyɛ saa a, wɔbɛyɛ deɛ wɔwoo wɔn too mu mu.
49 The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
Saa mmara yi ka Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo te no nso.”
50 So all the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Enti, Israelfoɔ no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
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.
Ɛda no ara na Awurade yii Israelfoɔ no firii Misraim asase so.
