< Exodus 12 >

1 Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt saying—
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron nan peyi Égypte la:
2 This month, is, to you, a beginning of months, —the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.
“Mwa sa a va vin premye nan mwa yo pou nou. Li va premye mwa nan ane a pou nou.
3 Speak ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, 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 But if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour that is near unto his house take one, according to the number of souls, —each man according to his eating, shall ye number 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 A lamb without defect a male a year old, shall yours be, —from the sheep or from the goats, shall ye take it.
“‘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 So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month, —then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it between the two evenings.
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 And they shall take of the blood, and put upon the two door-posts and upon the upper-beam, —upon the houses wherein they are to 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 Then shall they eat the flesh, in the same night, —roast with fire, and with unleavened cakes, with bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
“‘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 of it underdone, nor cooked by boiling in water, —but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward 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 And ye shall let nothing thereof remain until morning, —but that which is left remaining until morning, in the fire shall ye consume.
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 And, thus, shall ye eat it, —your loins, girded, your sandals, on your feet, and, your staff, in your hand, —so shall ye eat it in haste, it is Yahweh’s, passing over.
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 I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, —and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments—I, Yahweh.
“‘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 Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, —and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite 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 So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, —to your generations—as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it.
“‘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, unleavened cakes, shall ye eat, surely, on the first day, shall ye put away leaven, out of your houses, —for whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of Israel, from the first day, unto the seventh day.
“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 Both on the first day, a holy convocation, and on the seventh day—a holy convocation, shall there be to you, —no work, shall be done therein, save only what must be eaten by every soul, that alone, shall 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 So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, —so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding,
“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 in the evening, shall ye eat unleavened cakes, —until the one-and-twentieth day of the month in the 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, leaven, shall not be found in your houses, —for, whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of the assembly of Israel, whether sojourner or native of 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 Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, —in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
Nou pa pou manje anyen avèk ledven. Nan tout abitasyon nou yo nou va manje pen san ledven.”
21 So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, —Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock according to your families, and slay the passover.
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 Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam and the two door-posts, with the blood which is in the basin, —and, ye, shall not go forth any man out of the entrance 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 And Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam and upon the two door-posts, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to inflict on you the plague.
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 ye shall observe this thing, —for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.
“Epi nou va obsève evènman sa a kòm yon règleman pou nou menm avèk pitit nou yo pou tout tan.
25 And so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, —and ye shall observe this service;
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 come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, —What is this your service?
“Epi lè pitit nou di nou: ‘Kisa sa vle di selon sèvis sila a?’
27 Then shall ye say—A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed-over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians but our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down.
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 And the sons of Israel went their way and did, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
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 Yahweh, smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the pit of his prison, —and every firstborn of beasts.
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 Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, —for there was not a house, where there was not one 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 So he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said—Rise ye, go forth out of the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, —and go serve Yahweh according to your word;
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 also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake and go your way, —so shall ye bless, even me.
Pran ni bann mouton nou yo, ni twoupo nou yo, jan nou te di a, epi ale. Konsa, beni mwen tou!”
33 And the Egyptians became urgent with the people, to send them in haste out of the land, —for they said—We all, are dying.
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 up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, —with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles 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 And the sons of Israel, did according to the word of Moses, —and asked of the Egyptians, articles of silver and articles of gold and mantles.
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 Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, —so they spoiled the Egyptians.
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 Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, —about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.
Alò, fis Israël yo te vwayaje soti nan Ramsès rive Succoth, anviwon sis-san-mil òm apye, san kontwole timoun.
38 Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, —flocks also, and herds, exceeding much cattle,
Yon gran foul byen mele osi te monte avèk yo, menm avèk bann mouton ak twoupo, yon trè gran kantite bèt.
39 Then baked they the dough which they had brought out of Egypt—into round unleavened cakes for it had not been leavened, —for they had been driven out of Egypt and could not tarry, and indeed no provisions, had they made ready 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 during which the sons of Israel dwelt 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 and thirty years, yea it came to pass, on this self-same day, that all the hosts of Yahweh had come forth out of 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 A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, —this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons of Israel to 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 Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, —No stranger, shall eat thereof;
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 bought with silver, —when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
men esklav a chak moun, achte avèk lajan, lè nou fin sikonsi li, alò, li kapab manje nan li.
45 An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
Yon etranje ki rete pami nou, oswa yon sèvitè ki anplwaye, pa pou manje l.
46 In one house, shall it be eaten, thou shalt not take forth out of the house any of the flesh outside; and a, bone thereof, shalt thou not break.
“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 assembly of Israel, shall keep it.
Tout asanble Israël la dwe obsève fèt sa a.
48 And when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, —but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof.
“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 One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
Menm règ sa a va aplike a natif la tankou etranje ki demere pami nou yo.”
50 Thus did all the sons of Israel, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
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 came to pass, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
Epi nan menm jou sa a, SENYÈ a te mennen fis Israël yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la selon lòd lame pa yo.
