Exodus 12
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Bere a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
2 This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.
“Efi nnɛ rekɔ, ɔsram yi bɛyɛ ɔsram a edi kan wɔ Yudafo asranna so.
3 Speak ye to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for a house:
Ka kyerɛ Israelfo nyinaa se, saa ɔsram yi da a ɛto so du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara pɛ oguamma baako de ma nʼabusua. Ɛsɛ sɛ ofi biara nya oguamma no baako.
4 And if the household shall be too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Sɛ abusua bi mu nnipa sua a wɔrentumi nwe oguamma no a, wotumi ne abusua bi a ɛbɛn wɔn wɔ mpɔtam hɔ a wɔn nso sua kyɛ oguamma no. Aboa no kyɛ wɔ saa kwan no so no gyina abusua no kɛse ne nam dodow a wobetumi awe so.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] from the sheep or from the goats:
Ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ nea wadi afe. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ oguan anaa abirekyi a onnii dɛm.
6 And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
Monhwɛ saa mmoa a moayiyi wɔn yi yiye nkosi ɔsram a edii kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Afei Israel asafo nyinaa nkunkum wɔn nguantenmma no ɔdasu mu.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the two side-posts, and on the upper door-post of the houses, in which they shall eat it.
Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra ofi biara apongua ho. Oguamma a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛde yi.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire; and unleavened bread, [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.
Anadwo no ara, obiara bɛwe aboa a wɔatoto no no nam no bi. Wɔmfa brodo a wɔamfa mmɔkaw anyɛ ne awɔnwen na enni.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted [with] fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
Wɔnnnoa nam no na wɔnnwe no amono nso, na mmom, wɔntoto aboa mu no nyinaa, a ne ti, nʼanan ne nʼayamde nyinaa ka ho.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain till the morning: and that which remaineth of it till the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, nea ɛbɛka no, sɛ ade kye so a, monnnwe na mmom monhyew no.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand: and ye shall eat it in haste; it [is] the LORD'S passover.
Sɛnea monwe nam no ni: monwe wɔ bere a mo ntade a mode tu kwan hyehyɛ mo. Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔkwan tententwa. Monhyɛ mo mpaboa na momfa mo pema nkurakura. Monwe no ntɛmntɛm. Saa nneyɛe yi, wɔbɛfrɛ no Awurade Twam Afahyɛ.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast: and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD.
“Na metwa mu afa Misraim asase so anadwo yi na mmabarima a wɔyɛ mmakan ne mmoa mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, mekum wɔn, na mabu anyame a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa atɛn, efisɛ mene Awurade!
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.
Mogya a mode bɛyɛ apongua no ho no bɛyɛ agyiraehyɛde, enti sɛ mihu mogya no a, metwa mu akɔ, na sɛ merekunkum Misraim mmakan a, merenkum mo de bi.
14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations: ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
“Eyi yɛ da a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi; na awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no bedi no sɛ afahyɛ ama Awurade. Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day till the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Nnanson no mu, munni brodo a wɔmfaa mmɔkaw mfrae nko ara. Afahyɛ no da a edi kan no, munyiyi mmɔkaw biara mfi mo afi mu. Obiara a saa bere no obebu saa afahyɛ yi mmara yi so no, wobetwa no asu afi Israelman mu.
16 And in the first day [there shall be] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you: no manner of work shall be done in them, save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
Afahyɛ no da a edi kan ne ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa bedi da no sɛ da a wɔayi asi hɔ ama nhyiamu kronkron. Na nna no mu, aduannoa akyi no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma foforo biara.
17 And ye shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
“Sɛ mudi Apiti Afahyɛ yi a, ɛbɛma mo akae daa sɛ, saa da no na miyii mo fii Misraim asase so. Munni saa dapɔnna yi sɛ daa ahyɛde mfi awo ntoatoaso so nkosi awo ntoatoaso so.
18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread, till the one and twentieth day of the month at evening.
Ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere kosi ne da a ɛto so aduonu baako so no, brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu nko ara na munni.
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he shall be a stranger, or born in the land.
Saa nnanson no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wohu mmɔkaw kakraa bi koraa wɔ mo afi mu. Enti obiara a obedi aduan a mmɔkaw wɔ mu no, wobeyi no afi Israel asafo kuw no mu. Saa mmara yi ka ananafo a wɔne mo te ne wɔn a wofi ɔman no mu no nyinaa nso.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Miti mu sɛ, saa nna no mu, munnni biribiara a wɔde mmɔkaw afra mu; munni brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu.”
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out, and take you a lamb, according to your families, and kill the passover.
Na Mose frɛɛ Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔkyekyere oguamma anaa abirekyi ba mma abusua biara, na munkum no sɛ Twam Afahyɛ aboa.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that [is] in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that [is] in the basin: and none of you shall go out at the door of his house till the morning.
Muntwa oguan no mogya ngu kuruwa bi mu. Momfa adwerɛ mmɔ mogya no mu na momfa mpete apongua no atifi ne apongua abien a aka no ho sɛnea mogya no bɛda ho. Muwie a, mo mu biara mmfi nkɔ abɔnten saa anadwo no.
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite [you].
Awurade betwa mu afa asase yi so akunkum Misraimfo. Na sɛ ohu sɛ mogya wɔ apongua no atifi ne apongua abien no ho a, obetwa saa ofi no ho akɔ a ɔremma ɔsɛefo no nwura hɔ nkunkum mo mmakan.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
“Na monkae sɛ eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefo.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall have come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service?
Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, ‘Eyinom nyinaa ase ne dɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa dɛn ho a,
27 That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshiped.
mummua wɔn se, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre ma Awurade. Otwaa Israelfo afi ho wɔ Misraim. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ okunkum Misraimfo de, nanso ogyaw yɛn mmusua.’” Bere a Mose kasa wiee no, nnipa no nyinaa kotow sɔree.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Na Israelfo no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛde no so.
29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, to the first-born of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.
Da no ara anadwo nnɔndumien Awurade kunkum mmarimaa a wɔyɛ abakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, efi Farao babarima panyin so kosi odeduani babarima panyin ne anantwi nso mmakan nyinaa.
30 And Pharaoh rose in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt: for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one dead.
Afei, Farao ne ne mpanyimfo ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa sɔree anadwo no. Misraiman no nyinaa twaa agyaadwo, efisɛ ofi biara nni hɔ a onipa anwu wɔ mu.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Arise, [and] depart from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel: and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
Enti Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron anadwo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mesrɛ mo, mo nyinaa muntu mfi ha. Monkɔsom Awurade sɛnea mokae no.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone: and bless me also.
Momfa mo nguan ne mo anantwi na monkɔ. Nanso munhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [are] all dead [men].
Misraimfo no nyinaa ani beree Israelfo no so pampam wɔn sɛ womfi asase no so ntɛm, efisɛ wɔkae se, “Yebewuwu.”
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Israelfo no faa wɔn mmɔre a wɔafɔtɔw a mmɔkaw mfra mu, na wɔde wɔn ntade kyekyeree wɔn mmɔre nnaka de sisii wɔn mmati so.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses: and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.
Na Israelfo no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinne ne ntade afi Misraimfo no nkyɛn sɛnea Mose kaa se wɔnyɛ no.
36 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them [such things as they requested]: and they spoiled the Egyptians.
Awurade maa Misraimfo no huu Israelfo no mmɔbɔ enti wɔmaa wɔn wɔn abisade nyinaa. Ɛnam saayɛ so maa Israelfo no twee Misraimfo ahonyade nyinaa kɔe.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
Anadwo no ara, Israelfo no sii mu fii Rameses kɔɔ Sukot. Na wɔn dodow yɛ nnipa mpem ahansia a wɔnam fam, a mmea ne mmofra de wɔankan wɔn anka ho.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, [even] very many cattle.
Nnipa ahorow pii bi a wɔnyɛ Israelfo kaa wɔn ho kɔe. Wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi nyinaa kaa wɔn ho.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt, for it was not leavened: because they were driven from Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.
Woduu baabi a wɔpɛ sɛ wodidi no, wɔde mmɔre a wɔamfa mmɔkaw amfra a wɔde kɔe no bi too brodo dii. Na mmɔkaw nni mu, efisɛ Misraimfo no pam wɔn. Ɛno nti wɔannya kwan anyɛ aduan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
Israelfo no tenaa Misraim mfe ahannan ne aduasa.
41 And it came to pass, at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt.
Na da a wodii mfe ahannan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa fii asase no so.
42 It [is] a night to be much observed to the LORD, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that night of the LORD to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
Saa anadwo no ne bere a Awurade yi too hɔ de gyee ne nkurɔfo fii Misraim asase so. Enti saa anadwo koro no ara na Israelfo no yi de too hɔ sɛ da a Onyankopɔn gyee wɔn no afirihyia da.
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This [is] the ordinance of the passover: there shall no stranger eat of it.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔho biara nnwe oguamma no nam no bi.
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
Nanso ɔsomfo biara a wɔtew sika tɔɔ no no, sɛ wɔatwa no twetia de a, otumi we bi.
45 A foreigner, and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔho biara nnwe bi.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry aught of the flesh abroad out of the house: neither shall ye break a bone of it.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe Twam Afahyɛ aboa biara wɔ ofi biara mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe nam no wɔ fie. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde nam no fa biara kɔ abɔnten. Ɛnsɛ sɛ mobɔ dompe biara mu.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa di da no.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
“Ahɔho a mo ne wɔn te no nso, sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wodi Twam Afahyɛ no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa twa twetia ansa na wɔaba ne mo abedi; na ama wɔayɛ sɛnea wɔwoo wɔn too mo mu no.
49 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and to the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Saa mmara yi ka Israelfo ne ahɔho a wɔne mo te no nso.”
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Enti Israelfo no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
51 And it came to pass the same day, [that] the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Da no ara na Awurade yii Israelfo no fii Misraim asase so.
