Exodus 12
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri atĩrĩ,
2 “[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
“Mweri ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtuĩka mweri wa mbere harĩ inyuĩ, ũtuĩke mweri wa mbere wa mwaka wanyu.
3 Tell all the Israeli people that in each family, the man who heads the family must select a lamb or a young goat for his household.
Ĩrai andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi mweri ũyũ, o mũndũ akanyiitĩra andũ a nyũmba yake gatũrũme; o nyũmba gatũrũme kamwe.
4 If there are not enough people in his family to eat a whole [cooked] lamb, then his family and the family that lives next door may share one animal. Decide how many lambs you need according to the number of people in each family, and according to how much each person can eat.
Nyũmba ĩngĩgakorwo ĩrĩ nini mũno, ũndũ ĩtangĩniina gatũrũme kamwe-rĩ, nĩmanyiitanĩre gatũrũme kamwe na nyũmba ĩrĩa mahakanĩte nayo, marĩkĩtie gwĩtara mũigana wao meturanĩire. Rorai na mũtue wega nĩ tũtũrũme tũigana tũkabatarania kũringana na mũrĩĩre wa o mũndũ.
5 The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
Nyamũ iria mũgũthuura no nginya ikorwo irĩ tũtũrũme twa ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na itarĩ na kaũũgũ, na mũgaaciruta kuuma harĩ ngʼondu kana mbũri.
6 You must take [special] care of these animals until the 14th day of the month. On that day, all the Israeli people must slaughter the lambs [or goats] in the evening.
Cimenyererei nginya mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe a Isiraeli magaacithĩnja hwaĩ-inĩ.
7 Then they must take some of the blood [from the lambs or goats], and they must smear it on the doorposts and the (lintels/horizontal beams above the doorways) of the houses in which they will eat the meat.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo makooya thakame ĩmwe ya tũtũrũme tũu, nao mamĩhake hingĩro-inĩ cia igũrũ na cia mĩena ya mũrango wa nyũmba ĩrĩa makaarĩĩra tũtũrũme tũu.
8 They must roast the animals immediately and eat the meat that night. They must eat it with bread that is baked without yeast and with bitter herbs.
Ũtukũ o ũcio makaarĩa nyama icio ihĩhĩtio na mwaki, marĩĩanĩrie na nyeni ndũrũ na mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia.
9 You must not eat any of the meat raw, and you must not boil the meat. You must roast it [whole], without cutting off the head or the legs or removing the internal parts.
Mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ njĩthĩ kana itherũkĩtio na maaĩ, no ihĩhio na mwaki, mũtwe, na magũrũ o na nyama cia nda.
10 You must eat all the meat that evening; do not let any of the meat remain [to be eaten] the next morning. If any of the meat is left until the next morning, you must [completely] burn it.
Mũtikanatigie imwe ciacio ikinyĩrie rũciinĩ; iria ingĩtigara nginya rũciinĩ, no nginya mũgaacicina.
11 When you eat it, you must be dressed ready to travel, and you must eat it quickly. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hands. It will be a festival [called] Passover to [honor] me, Yahweh.
Ũũ nĩguo mũkaarĩa nyama icio: mũkorwo mwĩhotorete mĩcibi yanyu njohero, na iraatũ cianyu irĩ magũrũ, na mĩtirima yanyu ĩrĩ moko. Mũgaacirĩa naihenya; ĩyo nĩyo Bathaka ya Jehova.
12 On that night I will go through all the country of Egypt, and I will kill all the oldest males in Egypt, both humans and animals. [By doing this] I will show that all the gods in Egypt are worthless. [I can do this], because I am Yahweh, [the all-powerful God].
“O ũtukũ ũcio nĩngatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩngooraga marigithathi mothe ma andũ na ma nyamũ, na nĩngatuĩra ngai cia bũrũri wa Misiri ciothe ciira. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
13 The blood [that you smear on the doorways will be a mark to indicate] the houses in which you [Israelis] live. When I see the blood, I will [ignore and] pass by those houses, and I will not harm you [Israelis who live there], when I punish the Egyptians.
Thakame ĩyo ĩgaatuĩka rũũri rwanyu nyũmba-inĩ iria mũgaakorwo mũrĩ, na rĩrĩa ngoona thakame-rĩ, no kũmũhĩtũka ngaamũhĩtũka. Gũtirĩ mũthiro ũkamũhutia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaahũũra bũrũri wa Misiri.
14 [Each year], you must celebrate this festival on this day, to remember [what I], Yahweh, [have done for you]. In all the generations to come, [each year] you must celebrate [this festival]. [It must continue] forever.
“Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũrĩũririkanaga; ũkũngũyagĩrei harĩ njiarwa iria igooka ũrĩ wa gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova, ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra.
15 For seven days you must eat bread that has no yeast in it. On the first day of that week you must get rid of all the yeast that is in your houses. During those seven days, if anyone eats bread that is baked with yeast in it, [you must consider] that person to be no longer an Israeli.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Mũthenya wa mbere mũkeeheria ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma nyũmba cianyu, nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma mũthenya wa mbere nginya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩakaingatwo eherio harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
16 On the first day [of that week], you must (have a holy meeting/gather together to [worship] me). You must do the same thing on the seventh day. People must not work on those two days. The only work they may do is to prepare food for you to eat.
Gĩai na kĩũngano gĩtheru mũthenya wa mbere, na mũgĩe na kĩngĩ mũthenya wa mũgwanja. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ mĩthenya ĩyo, tiga o wa kũhaarĩria irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ mũndũ wothe, ũguo noguo mũngĩĩka.
17 [Every year] you must keep celebrating this festival of eating bread that has no yeast in it, because it will remind you that it was on this day that I brought all your tribal groups out of Egypt. So [every year], in all the generations to come, you must celebrate this day as a festival. It must continue forever.
“Kũngũĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate Ĩtarĩ Ndawa ya Kũimbia, tondũ nĩ mũthenya ũyũ kĩũmbe ndamũrutire mũrĩ ikundi kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri. Kũngũĩrai mũthenya ũyũ ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra nginya njiarwa iria igooka.
18 In the first month of the year, on the 14th day of that month, the only bread you may eat is bread that has no yeast in it. You must keep doing that each day until the 21st day of that month. For those seven days you must not have any yeast in your house. [During that time], if anyone, either an Israeli or a foreigner, eats bread made with yeast, you must consider that person no longer to be an Israeli.
Mweri wa mbere mũrĩrĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, kwambĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩrĩ na ũmwe.
Handũ ha matukũ mũgwanja, gũtikoneke ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate nyũmba-inĩ cianyu. Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia nĩakaingatwo athengio mũingĩ-inĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ mũgeni, kana aciarĩtwo arĩ Mũisiraeli.
20 In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia. Kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.”
21 Then Moses/I summoned all the leaders of the Israeli people. He/I said to them, “Each family should select a lamb and kill it, [in order that you may eat it to celebrate the festival that will be called] ‘Passover’.
Nake Musa agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi o narua mũgathuure nyamũ nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba cianyu na mũthĩnje gatũrũme ka Bathaka.
22 Let the lamb’s blood [drain into] a basin. Get a bunch/sprig of (hyssop/a very leafy plant) and dip it in the blood. Then smear some of the blood on the doorposts and the (lintels/beams above the doorways) [of your houses]. The people in each house must all stay inside the house until the next morning.
Oyai kĩohe kĩa mahuti ma mũthobi, mũgĩtobokie karaĩ-inĩ karĩ na thakame, mũcooke mũmĩhake hingĩro ya igũrũ ya mũrango, o na mĩena yeerĩ ya hingĩro cia mũrango. Gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe wanyu ũkuuma nja ya nyũmba yake nginya rũciinĩ.
23 When Yahweh goes throughout Egypt to kill the [oldest male in each] Egyptian family, he will see the blood on the (lintels/beams of your doorways), and he will [ignore and] pass by those houses. He will not allow the angel who causes people to die to enter your houses and kill [any of] your [oldest sons].
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova arĩtuĩkania bũrũri nĩguo orage andũ a Misiri-rĩ, nĩarĩona thakame ĩyo ĩrĩ igũrũ na mĩena ya hingĩro cia mĩrango, nake ahĩtũke mũromo wa nyũmba ĩyo, na nĩakagiria mũniinani atoonye nyũmba cianyu amũũrage.
24 You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
“Athĩkĩrai ũrutani ũyũ taarĩ watho wa gũtũũra wathĩkagĩrwo nĩ inyuĩ na njiaro cianyu.
25 And when you arrive in the land that Yahweh will be giving to you as he promised, you must keep celebrating this ritual [every year].
Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhe ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ.
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
Na rĩrĩa ciana cianyu ikamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩathĩ gĩkĩ kiugĩte atĩa harĩ inyuĩ?’
27 you must tell them, ‘This ritual is [to remember how our ancestors] sacrificed [lambs] on the night that Yahweh’s angel passed by the houses of the Israeli people [when they were] in Egypt. He killed the [oldest males/sons in all] the Egyptian houses, but he spared [the sons in] [MTY] our houses.’” After Moses/I told them this, they all bowed their heads and worshiped [Yahweh].
Mũgaaciĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova, ũrĩa waagararire nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na akĩhonokia andũ a nyũmba ciitũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ooragire andũ a Misiri.’” Nao andũ makĩinamĩrĩria mothiũ mao, makĩhooya.
28 Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Andũ a Isiraeli magĩgĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa na Harũni.
29 At midnight Yahweh killed all the oldest sons of the Egyptian people, all over Egypt. That included the king’s oldest son, the oldest sons of the prisoners in the dungeon/jail, and [the oldest sons of everyone else]. He also killed the oldest males of all the Egyptians’ livestock.
O ũtukũ gatagatĩ Jehova akĩũraga marigithathi mothe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kwambĩrĩria irigithathi rĩa Firaũni, ũrĩa waikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nginya irigithathi rĩa mũndũ muohe ũrĩa warĩ njeera na marigithathi ma mahiũ mothe.
30 That night the king, all his officials, and [all the rest of] the Egyptian people awoke [and discovered what had happened]. They wailed loudly all over Egypt, because in every house, someone’s son had died.
Firaũni na anene ake othe o na andũ a Misiri othe, magĩũkĩra kũrĩ o ũtukũ, nakuo gũkĩgĩa kĩrĩro kĩnene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ nyũmba ĩtaarĩ na mũndũ wakuĩte.
31 That night the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You and all the [other] Israeli people, must leave my country [immediately]! Go and worship Yahweh, as you requested!
O ũtukũ ũcio, Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrai! Ehererai andũ akwa, inyuĩ o na andũ a Isiraeli othe! Thiĩi mũgatungatĩre Jehova o ta ũrĩa mũũrĩtie.
32 Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
Oyai ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe o ta ũrĩa mũroigĩte na mũthiĩ. Na mũndathime o na niĩ.”
33 Then the Israeli people did as Moses/I had told them. They [went to] their Egyptian [neighbors] and asked them for silver and gold jewelry and clothing.
Nao andũ a Misiri makĩhĩka andũ acio moime bũrũri ũcio na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Kwaga ũguo, tũgũkua ithuothe!”
34 Yahweh caused the Egyptian people to greatly respect the [Israeli] people, so they gave them what they asked for. In that way, they carried away the wealth of the Egyptian people.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩoya kĩmere kĩao gĩtanekĩrwo ndawa ya kũimbia, na magĩgĩkuua na ciande, nayo mĩharatĩ yoohereirwo nguo-inĩ.
35 The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa meerĩĩtwo nĩ Musa na makĩhooya andũ a Misiri mamahe indo cia betha na cia thahabu, o na nguo.
36 So the [Israeli] people [prepared to leave at once]. They took the bowls in which they mixed the dough to make bread, and the dough that was in the bowls without any yeast in it, and they wrapped the bowls in their cloaks. They put the bowls on their shoulders [and left].
Jehova agĩtũma andũ acio metĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri nao makĩmahe kĩrĩa gĩothe meetirie; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtaha indo cia andũ a Misiri.
37 The Israeli people traveled from Rameses [city] to Succoth [town]. There were about 600,000 men who went, in addition to the women and children.
Andũ a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria rũgendo kuuma Ramesese magĩthiĩ Sukothu. Arũme arĩa metwaraga na magũrũ maarĩ ta 600,000 hategũtarwo atumia na ciana.
38 Many other people who were not Israelis went along with them. There were also livestock, the flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle].
Na andũ angĩ aingĩ nĩmathiire na makĩambatania nao, hamwe na ndũũru nene cia mahiũ ma mbũri na ngʼombe.
39 On their way, they baked bread with the dough that they carried with them when they had been expelled from Egypt. The dough did not have yeast in it, because they were told to leave Egypt so quickly that they did not have enough time to get food ready to take with them, or enough time to mix yeast in the dough.
Kĩmere kĩrĩa maarutĩte bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩo maatũmĩrire gũthondeka mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia. Kĩmere kĩu gĩtiarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia tondũ nĩkũingatwo maingatirwo bũrũri wa Misiri, na matiigana kũgĩa na ihinda rĩa kũhaarĩria irio ciao.
40 The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
Ihinda rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũrire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ mĩaka 430.
41 On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
Harĩa mĩaka ĩyo 430 yathirĩire-rĩ, mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩguo ikundi ciothe cia andũ a Jehova cioimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
42 It was a night when Yahweh (protected/guarded over) them as he brought them out of Egypt. So this same night every year is a night that is dedicated to Yahweh, a night when the Israeli people in every generation [remember how] Yahweh protected our ancestors.
Tondũ ũtukũ ũcio nĩguo Jehova aikarire eiguĩte nĩguo amarute bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, na ũtukũ ũyũ nao andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmarĩikaraga meiguĩte nĩguo matĩĩage Jehova njiarwa-inĩ ciothe iria igooka.
43 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me: “These are my instructions about the Passover ritual: Do not let foreigners eat [the Passover meal]. But any male slaves that you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised them.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩmo mawatho ma Bathaka: “Gũtirĩ mũgeni ũngĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo.
Ngombo o yothe ũgũrĩte no ĩrĩe Bathaka ĩyo thuutha wa kũmĩruithia,
45 Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
no mũrarĩrĩri kana mũruti wĩra wa mũcaara ndakanamĩrĩe.
46 Each family must eat the Passover meal inside their own house. Do not take any of the food outside the house. And do not break any of the bones of the lamb that is sacrificed.
“No nginya ĩrĩĩagĩrwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba o ĩmwe, mũtikanoimie nyama o na ĩrĩkũ nja ya nyũmba. Mũtikanoine ihĩndĩ o na rĩmwe rĩayo.
47 All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli no nginya ũkũngũĩre Bathaka.
48 When someone from another country comes to live with you and wants to celebrate the Passover Festival, circumcise all the males in his household. Then they may eat the Passover meal, and you should treat those people as though they were born as Israelis. But do not allow men who have not been circumcised to eat the Passover meal.
“Mũgeni ũtũũrĩte thĩinĩ wanyu na nĩekwenda gũkũngũĩra Bathaka ya Jehova, no nginya aruithie arũme othe a nyũmba yake; thuutha ũcio nĩrĩo angĩkũngũĩra Bathaka ta mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũtarĩ mũruu ũngĩrĩa Bathaka.
49 These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
Watho o ũcio noguo ũgwatha arĩa maciarĩtwo marĩ a bũrũri, o na ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
50 All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
Andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni.
51 On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Na mũthenya o ro ũcio, Jehova akĩruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ikundi ciao.
