< Exodus 12 >

1 Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt saying—
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,
2 This month, is, to you, a beginning of months, —the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.
“Ko e māhina ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi māhina: ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e ʻuluaki māhina ʻi he taʻu.”
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.
Mo lea ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ni, te nau toʻo kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻe he tangata ha lami, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai, ko e lami ki he fale:
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.
Pea kapau ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau nofoʻanga ki ha lami, ke toʻo ia ʻe ia mo hono kaungāʻapi ʻoku na fale vāofi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe kakai; ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe kau ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene kai ʻi homou lau ki he lami.
5 A lamb without defect a male a year old, shall yours be, —from the sheep or from the goats, shall ye take it.
‌ʻE haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou lami taʻehanomele, ko e manu tangata ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu: te mou toʻo ia mei he fanga sipi, pe mei he fanga kosi.
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.
Pea te mou talitalifaki ʻaki ia ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia: pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he efiafi poʻuli.
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.
Pea te nau ʻave ʻa hono toto ʻo vali ʻaki ia ʻae pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻakau fakalava ʻi he ʻulu matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoku nau kai ai ia.
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.
Pea te nau kai hono kakano ʻi he pō ko ia, kuo tunu ʻaki ʻae afi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani; te nau kai ia mo e ngaahi louʻakau kona.
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.
‌ʻOua naʻa kai ʻota ia, pe haka ʻi he vai, ka ko e tunu pe ʻaki ʻae afi: ko hono ʻulu, mo e kau vaʻe, mo hono toʻotoʻonga.
10 And ye shall let nothing thereof remain until morning, —but that which is left remaining until morning, in the fire shall ye consume.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatoe hano potu ki he ʻapongipongi; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ki he ʻapongipongi te mou tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.
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.
Pea te mou kai pehē ia; kuo nonoʻo homou vala, kuo ʻai homou topuvaʻe ʻi homou vaʻe, mo homou tokotoko ʻi homou nima; pea te mou kai fakatoʻotoʻo ia; ko e Lakaatu ia ʻa Sihova.
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.
“He te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite he poōni, pea te u taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu; pea ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻIsipite te u fai ʻeku fakaʻauha ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova.
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.
Pea ko e toto, ʻe hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku mou ʻi ai: ʻo kau ka mamata ki he toto, teu laka atu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻauha kiate kimoutolu ke mou mate ai ʻo kau ka taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite.
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.
Pea ko e ʻaho ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamanatu: pea te mou tauhi ia ʻo fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata tuku fakaholo: te mou tauhi ia ko e kātoanga ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.”
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.
“Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani; ʻio, ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻaho te mou tukuange ʻae lēvani mei homou ngaahi fale: he ko ia ʻoku kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo aʻu ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻe motuhi ia mei ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea ʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe fai ʻekimoutolu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni: ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻe fai ʻi ai, ka koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ko ia pe ʻe ngofua ke fai.
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,
Pea te mou tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani; koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻaho totonu ko ʻeni, kuo u ʻomi ai homou ngaahi kautau mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko ia te mou fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae ʻaho ni ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.
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,
ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻi he efiafi, te mou kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani, ʻo aʻu ki hono uofulu ma taha ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi.
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.
‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻi homou ngaahi fale; he ko ia ʻoku kai ʻaia kuo fakalēvani, ʻe motuhi ia mei he fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko ha muli ia, pe ko ha tupu ʻi he fonua.
20 Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, —in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
‌ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ha meʻa kuo ʻi ai ʻae lēvani; ʻi homou ngaahi nofoʻanga kotoa pē te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani.
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.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vaheʻi ʻo toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lami ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu.
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,
Pea te mou toʻo ʻae ʻū ʻisope ʻo unu ia ki he toto ʻoku ʻi he ipu, ʻo vali ʻae potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua ʻoe matapā ʻaki ʻae toto ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ipu; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale kituaʻā kaeʻoua ke pongipongi hake.
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.
Koeʻuhi ʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite: pea ka ʻafio ia ki he toto ʻi he potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua, ʻe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova ʻi he matapā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fakaʻauha ke hū ki homou fale ke taaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
24 And ye shall observe this thing, —for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.
Pea te mou tokanga maʻu ki he meʻa ni, ko e fekau kiate koe mo ho ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
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;
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, te mou fai ʻae ngāue ni.
26 and it shall come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, —What is this your service?
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka fehuʻi hoʻomou fānau kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngāue ni?’
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.
Te mou pehē: ‘Ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne laka atu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fakamoʻui homau fale. Pea naʻe fakapunou hifo honau ʻulu ʻe he kakai ʻo hū.
28 And the sons of Israel went their way and did, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻuapō, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae pōpula ʻi he fale fakapōpula; pea mo e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Felo ʻi he pō, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi ʻIsipite: he naʻe ʻikai hala ha fale ʻi he taʻeʻiai-ha-taha kuo mate.
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;
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻi he poʻuli ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, Tuʻu hake pea mou ʻalu atu mei hoku kakai, ʻakimoua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea.
32 also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake and go your way, —so shall ye bless, even me.
‌ʻAve mo hoʻomou ngaahi fanga sipi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou tala, pea mou ʻalu; pea mou tāpuaki foki au.
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.
Pea naʻe fai mālohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau tukuange fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu mei he fonua; he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo tau mate kotoa pē.
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,
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻenau mā ʻe he kakai ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae lēvani; mo e nau ngaahi natuʻanga mā, kuo haʻi fakataha mo e nau ngaahi kofu ki honau uma.
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mōsese; naʻa nau kole mei he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu;
36 And Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, —so they spoiled the Egyptians.
Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, ko ia naʻa nau tuku ai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa. Pea naʻa nau fakamasivaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite.
37 Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, —about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.
Pea fononga ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei Lamisisi ki Sukote, ko e kau tangata hāʻele, ko e toko ono kilu nai, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae fānau.
38 Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, —flocks also, and herds, exceeding much cattle,
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kakai kehe tokolahi: mo e ngaahi fanga sipi mo e fanga manu, ʻae fuʻu fanga manu lahi.
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.
Pea naʻa nau taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻehalēvani, ʻi he mā naʻa nau ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, he naʻe ʻikai ai ʻae lēvani; koeʻuhi naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai [te nau ]faʻa tatali, pea naʻe teʻeki te nau teuteu haʻanau meʻakai.
40 Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Pea ko e nofo ʻāunofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻIsipite, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofolu.
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.
Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻio, naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻae ʻalu ai ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻa Sihova mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
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.
Ko e pō ko ia ke tokanga lahi ki ai maʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko e pō eni ia ʻo Sihova ke fakamanatu ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē.
43 And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, —No stranger, shall eat thereof;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, “Ko eni ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu: ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli:
44 but, every man’s servant bought with silver, —when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
Ka ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga, hili hao kamu ia, ʻe toki kai ia ʻe ia.
45 An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
‌ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli, pe ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue totongi.
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.
‌ʻE kai ia ʻi he fale pe taha: ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave kituaʻā mei he fale ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano; pea ʻoua naʻa mou fesiʻi hano hui.
47 All the assembly of Israel, shall keep it.
‌ʻE fai ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea ka ʻāunofo ha muli kiate koe, pea loto ia ke fai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova, tuku ke kamu ʻene kakai tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki ngofua ke haʻu ia ʻo fai: pea ʻe tatau ia mo ha tokotaha naʻe tupu ʻi he fonua: ʻe ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu.
49 One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
‌ʻE ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate ia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fonua, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.”
50 Thus did all the sons of Israel, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he pō pe ko ia, ʻae ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae fānau ʻe ʻIsileli kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau.
