Exodus 12
1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona teo amin’ ny tany Egypta ka nanao hoe:
2 “[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
Ity volana ity ho voaloham-bolana ho anareo; dia ho voaloham-bolana amin’ ny taona ho anareo izy.
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.
Mitenena ianareo amin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka manaova hoe: Amin’ ny andro fahafolo amin’ ity volana ity dia aoka samy haka zanak’ ondry iray avy izy rehetra, araka ny fianakaviany, dia zanak’ ondry iray avy no ho an’ ny isan-trano;
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.
ary raha vitsy loatra ny iray trano ka tsy mahalany zanak’ ondry iray, dia aoka izy sy izay namany mifanakaiky trano aminy haka araka izay isan’ ny olona; ny olona rehetra samy araka izay tokony ho laniny avy no hanisanareo ny zanak’ ondry.
5 The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
Zanak’ ondry tsy misy kilema, dia lahy izay iray taona, no halainareo; halainareo amin’ ny ondry na amin’ ny osy izy;
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.
ary hotehirizinareo izy hatramin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ity volana ity; dia hamono azy amin’ ny hariva ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra.
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.
Ary hanalany ny rà, ka hatentiny amin’ ny tolam-baravarana roa sy amin’ ny tataom-baravaran’ ny trano izay hihinanany azy.
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.
Dia hohaniny amin’ izany alina izany ny hena; voatsatsika tamin’ ny afo no hihinanany azy mbamin’ ny mofo tsy misy masirasira sady hampiarahina amin’ ny anana mangidy.
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.
Aza hanina manta na voahandro amin’ ny rano izy, fa atsatsiho amin’ ny afo mbamin’ ny lohany sy ny tongony ary ny fadiny.
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.
Ary aza asianareo sisa ho tra-maraina; fa raha tahìny misy sisa tsy lany ka tra-maraina, dia hodoranareo amin’ ny afo.
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.
Ary toy izao no hataonareo, raha mihinana azy: ny valahanareo ho voasikina, ny kapanareo ho eo amin’ ny tongotrareo, ary ny tehinareo ho eny an-tananareo; dia hohaninareo faingana izy, fa Paskan’ i Jehovah.
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].
Fa handeha hamaky ny tany Egypta amin’ izany alina izany Aho ka hamono ny matoa rehetra amin’ ny tany Egypta hatramin’ ny olona ka hatramin’ ny biby fiompy; ary ny andriamanitry ny Egyptiana dia hotsaraiko avokoa: Izaho no Jehovah.
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.
Ary ny rà dia ho famantarana ho anareo eo amin’ ny trano izay itoeranareo; ary raha mahita ny rà Aho, dia handalo anareo, ka tsy hisy loza handringana anareo, raha mamely ny tany Egypta Aho.
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.
Ary izany andro izany dia ho fahatsiarovana ho anareo ka hotandremanareo ho andro firavoravoana ho an’ i Jehovah; hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby no hitandremanareo izany ho andro firavoravoana, ho lalana mandrakizay.
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.
Hafitoana no hihinananareo mofo tsy misy masirasira: amin’ ny voalohan’ andro no hanesoranareo ny masirasira amin’ ny tranonareo; fa na iza na iza homana mofo misy masirasira hatramin’ ny andro voalohany ka hatramin’ ny fahafito dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Ary amin’ ny andro voalohany dia hisy fivoriana masìna ho anareo ary amin’ ny andro fahafito koa hisy fivoriana masìna; tsy hanao raharaha akory ianareo amin’ izany andro izany, afa-tsy izay hohanin’ ny isan-olona, dia izany ihany no hamboarinareo.
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.
Ary hitandrina ny andron’ ny mofo tsy misy masirasira ianareo, fa izany andro izany indrindra no nitondrako ny antokonareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; dia hotandremanareo izany hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby ho lalàna mandrakizay.
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.
Amin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana voalohany, nony hariva, no hihinananareo mofo tsy misy masirasira ambara-paharivan’ ny andro fahiraika amby roa-polo amin’ ny volana.
Hafitoana no tsy hisiana masirasira ao an-tranonareo; fa na iza na iza homana izay misy masirasira dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely, na vahiny na tompon-tany.
20 In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
Tsy hihinana na inona na inona izay misy masirasira ianareo; fa samy hihinana mofo tsy misy masirasira ao amin’ izay itoeranareo rehetra avy ianareo.
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’.
Dia nampanalain’ i Mosesy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ka hoy izy taminy: Mandehana ianareo ka makà ondry ho anareo araka ny fokom-pirenenareo avy, ka vonoy ny Paska.
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.
Dia makà hysopa iray fihina, ka atsobohy amin’ ny rà izay ao anatin’ ny bakoly ary ny rà izay ao anatin’ ny bakoly dia anenteno amin’ ny tataom-baravarana sy ny tolana roa; ary aza misy mivoaka eo am-baravaran’ ny tranonareo avy ianareo ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro.
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].
Fa Jehovah handeha hamely ny Egyptiana; ary raha mahita ny rà eo amin’ ny tataom-baravarana sy ny tolana roa Jehovah, dia handalo ny varavarana, ka tsy havelany hiditra ao an-tranonareo hamely anareo ny mpandringana.
24 You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
Ary hitandrina izany zavatra izany, ianareo ho lalàna ho anareo sy ho an’ ny taranakareo mandrakizay.
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].
Ary rehefa tonga any amin’ ny tany izay homen’ i Jehovah anareo araka izay nolazainy ianareo, dia tandremo izany fanompoana izany.
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
Ary raha hanontany anareo ny zanakareo hoe: Inona no anton’ izao fanompoana ataonareo izao?
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].
dia holazainareo hoe: Izao dia famonoana ny Paskan’ i Jehovah, Izay nandalo ny tranon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tany Egypta, raha namely ny Egyptiana Izy, fa namonjy ny tao an-tranontsika. Dia niondrika ny olona ka nivavaka.
28 Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Ary dia nandeha ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao izany; araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy sy Arona no nataony.
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.
Ary nony namatonalina Jehovah namono ny lahimatoa rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny lahimatoan’ i Farao izay nipetraka teo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianany ka hatramin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny babo izay tao amin’ ny trano-maizina, mbamin’ izay voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy rehetra.
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.
Ary nifoha raha mbola alina Farao, dia izy sy ny mpanompony rehetra ary ny Egyptiana rehetra, fa nisy fidradradradrana mafy tany Egypta, satria tsy nisy trano izay tsy nahafatesana.
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!
Dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona izy, raha mbola alina, ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna, mialà eto amin’ ny vahoakako ianareo sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary mandehana ka manompoa an’ i Jehovah araka ny nolazainareo.
32 Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
Ary ny ondry aman’ osinareo sy ny ombinareo dia ento koa araka izay efa nolazainareo, ka mandehana; fa mba tsofy rano aho.
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.
Dia nandodona ny olona ny Egyptiana ka nampandeha azy faingana hiala tamin’ ny tany, satria hoy izy: Maty avokoa izahay rehetra.
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.
Dia nentin’ ny olona ny kobany voalena, raha tsy mbola voaisy masirasira, sy ny viliany fanaova-mofo voafehy ao amin’ ny lambany teny an-tsorony.
35 The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanao araka ny tenin’ i Mosesy ka nangataka firavaka volafotsy sy firavaka volamena ary fitafiana tamin’ ny Egyptiana.
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].
Ary nataon’ i Jehovah nahita fitia teo imason’ ny Egyptiana ny olona, ka nomen’ ireo azy izay nangatahiny, ka dia nofoanany ny Egyptiana.
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.
Dia niainga tao Ramesesa ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nankany Sokota, dia lehilahy mahalia lalana tokony ho enina hetsy, afa-tsy ny zaza amim-behivavy.
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].
Ary nisy olona maro samy hafa firenena koa niara-niakatra taminy, ary ondry aman’ osy sy omby, dia fananana be indrindra.
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.
Dia nanendy mofo tsy nisy masirasira tamin’ ny koba voalena izay nentiny avy tany Egypta izy: fa tsy mbola voaisy masirasira izany, satria noroahina tany Egypta izy ka tsy nahazo nijanona sady tsy nahafehy vatsy ho azy.
40 The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
Ary ny andro nitoeran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tany Egypta dia telo-polo amby efa-jato taona.
41 On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
Ary rehefa tapitra ny telo-polo amby efa-jato taona, dia tamin’ izany andro izany indrindra no nivoahan’ ny antokony rehetra izay an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny tany Egypta.
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.
Alina notandreman’ i Jehovah izany, hitondrany azy hivoaka avy tamin’ ny tany Egypta; eny, izany alina izany dia an’ i Jehovah ka hotandreman’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona: Izao no lalàn’ ny Paska: Tsy hisy olona hafa firenena hihinana azy.
Ary ny andevolahin’ ny olona rehetra izay novidim-bola dia hoforana aloha vao mba hihinana.
45 Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
Ny vahiny sy ny mpikarama tsy mba hihinana azy.
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.
Ao an-trano iray no hihinanana azy; tsy hamoahanao eny ala-trano akory ny hena, ary tsy hisy hotapahinareo ny taolany na dia iray aza.
47 All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
Ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, hitandrina izany.
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.
Ary raha misy mivahiny eo aminao ka mba te-hitandrina ny Paskan’ i Jehovah, dia aoka hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra eo aminy vao manatona hitandrina izany, ka ho tahaka ny tompon-tany ihany izy; fa ny tsy voafora rehetra kosa dia tsy mahazo mihinana izany.
49 These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
Lalàna iray no ho amin’ ny tompon-tany sy ny vahiny izay mitoetra eo aminareo.
50 All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
Dia nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra izany: araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy sy Arona no nataony.
51 On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany indrindra no nitondran’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta araka ny antokony.
