Exodus 12
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,
耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
2 'This month [is] to you the chief of months — it [is] the first to you of the months of the year;
“你们要以本月为正月，为一年之首。
3 speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month — they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.
你们吩咐以色列全会众说：本月初十日，各人要按着父家取羊羔，一家一只。
4 '(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb, )
若是一家的人太少，吃不了一只羊羔，本人就要和他隔壁的邻舍共取一只。你们预备羊羔，要按着人数和饭量计算。
5 a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take [it].
要无残疾、一岁的公羊羔，你们或从绵羊里取，或从山羊里取，都可以。
6 'And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;
要留到本月十四日，在黄昏的时候，以色列全会众把羊羔宰了。
7 and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.
各家要取点血，涂在吃羊羔的房屋左右的门框上和门楣上。
8 'And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;
当夜要吃羊羔的肉；用火烤了，与无酵饼和苦菜同吃。
9 ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;
不可吃生的，断不可吃水煮的，要带着头、腿、五脏，用火烤了吃。
10 and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.
不可剩下一点留到早晨；若留到早晨，要用火烧了。
11 'And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,
你们吃羊羔当腰间束带，脚上穿鞋，手中拿杖，赶紧地吃；这是耶和华的逾越节。
12 and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I [am] Jehovah.
因为那夜我要巡行埃及地，把埃及地一切头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都击杀了，又要败坏埃及一切的神。我是耶和华。
13 'And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in the land of Egypt.
这血要在你们所住的房屋上作记号；我一见这血，就越过你们去。我击杀埃及地头生的时候，灾殃必不临到你们身上灭你们。”
14 'And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; — a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.
“你们要记念这日，守为耶和华的节，作为你们世世代代永远的定例。
15 Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only — in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel.
你们要吃无酵饼七日。头一日要把酵从你们各家中除去；因为从头一日起，到第七日为止，凡吃有酵之饼的，必从以色列中剪除。
16 'And in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person — it alone is done by you,
头一日你们当有圣会，第七日也当有圣会。这两日之内，除了预备各人所要吃的以外，无论何工都不可做。
17 and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations — a statute age-during.
你们要守无酵节，因为我正当这日把你们的军队从埃及地领出来。所以，你们要守这日，作为世世代代永远的定例。
18 'In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at evening;
从正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你们要吃无酵饼。
19 seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any [one] eating anything fermented — that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;
在你们各家中，七日之内不可有酵；因为凡吃有酵之物的，无论是寄居的，是本地的，必从以色列的会中剪除。
20 anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
有酵的物，你们都不可吃；在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼。”
21 And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, 'Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;
于是，摩西召了以色列的众长老来，对他们说：“你们要按着家口取出羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰了。
22 and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.
拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆里的血，打在门楣上和左右的门框上。你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。
23 'And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.
因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人，他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上，就必越过那门，不容灭命的进你们的房屋，击杀你们。
24 'And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons — unto the age;
这例，你们要守着，作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例。
25 and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;
日后，你们到了耶和华按着所应许赐给你们的那地，就要守这礼。
26 and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What [is] this service ye have?
你们的儿女问你们说：‘行这礼是什么意思？’
27 that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it [is] to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'
你们就说：‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭。当以色列人在埃及的时候，他击杀埃及人，越过以色列人的房屋，救了我们各家。’”于是百姓低头下拜。
28 And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
29 And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.
到了半夜，耶和华把埃及地所有的长子，就是从坐宝座的法老，直到被掳囚在监里之人的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，尽都杀了。
30 And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not [one] dead,
法老和一切臣仆，并埃及众人，夜间都起来了。在埃及有大哀号，无一家不死一个人的。
31 and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, 'Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;
夜间，法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“起来！连你们带以色列人，从我民中出去，依你们所说的，去事奉耶和华吧！
32 both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'
也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧！并要为我祝福。”
33 And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, 'We are all dead;'
埃及人催促百姓，打发他们快快出离那地，因为埃及人说：“我们都要死了。”
34 and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
百姓就拿着没有酵的生面，把抟面盆包在衣服中，扛在肩头上。
35 And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;
以色列人照着摩西的话行，向埃及人要金器、银器，和衣裳。
36 and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.
耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人给他们所要的。他们就把埃及人的财物夺去了。
37 And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
以色列人从兰塞起行，往疏割去；除了妇人孩子，步行的男人约有六十万。
38 and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd — very much cattle.
又有许多闲杂人，并有羊群牛群，和他们一同上去。
39 And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.
他们用埃及带出来的生面烤成无酵饼。这生面原没有发起；因为他们被催逼离开埃及，不能耽延，也没有为自己预备什么食物。
40 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
41 and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years — yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day — all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt.
正满了四百三十年的那一天，耶和华的军队都从埃及地出来了。
42 A night of watchings it [is] to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.
这夜是耶和华的夜；因耶和华领他们出了埃及地，所以当向耶和华谨守，是以色列众人世世代代该谨守的。
43 And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, 'This [is] a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;
耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：“逾越节的例是这样：外邦人都不可吃这羊羔。
44 and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him — then he doth eat of it;
但各人用银子买的奴仆，既受了割礼就可以吃。
45 a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;
寄居的和雇工人都不可吃。
46 in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;
应当在一个房子里吃；不可把一点肉从房子里带到外头去。羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。
47 all the company of Israel do keep it.
以色列全会众都要守这礼。
48 'And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;
若有外人寄居在你们中间，愿向耶和华守逾越节，他所有的男子务要受割礼，然后才容他前来遵守，他也就像本地人一样；但未受割礼的，都不可吃这羊羔。
49 one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'
本地人和寄居在你们中间的外人同归一例。”
50 And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列众人就怎样行了。
51 And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
正当那日，耶和华将以色列人按着他们的军队，从埃及地领出来。
