< Exodus 12 >

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron nan peyi Égypte la:
2 'This month [is] to you the chief of months — it [is] the first to you of the months of the year;
“Mwa sa a va vin premye nan mwa yo pou nou. Li va premye mwa nan ane a pou nou.
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.
“Pale a tout asanble Israël la, e di: ‘Nan dizyèm mwa sa a, yo chak va pran yon jenn mouton pou yo menm, selon kay pa yo, yon mouton pou chak kay.
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, )
Alò, si kay la twò piti pou yon jenn mouton, li menm avèk vwazen li ap pran youn pou kont yo, selon kantite moun ki nan yo selon sa ke chak moun ta kab manje, nou va divize jenn mouton an.
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].
“‘Jenn mouton nou an va yon jenn mal, ak laj yon lane, san defo. Nou ka pran li pami mouton yo, oswa kabrit yo.
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;
Nou va kenbe li jis rive nan katòzyèm jou nan menm mwa sa a, e tout asanble kongregasyon Israël la va touye li nan aswè.
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.
Anplis, yo va pran kèk nan san an, e mete li sou de chanbrann pòt kay la, ak sou de travès lento pòt kay la kote yo va manje li a.
8 'And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;
“‘Yo va manje chè a menm nwit lan, boukannen li nan dife, e yo va manje li avèk pen san ledven, ak zèb anmè.
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;
Pa manje anyen nan li ki pa kwit, ni ki bouyi avèk okenn dlo, men pito ki boukannen nan dife, ni tèt li, ni janm li yo ansanm avèk zantray li yo.
10 and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.
Epi nou pa pou kite anyen nan li pou maten men nenpòt sa ki rete nan li, nan maten nou va brile li nan dife.
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,
Alò, nou va manje li konsa: avèk senti nou mare, sapat nan pye nou ak baton nou nan men nou; epi nou va manje li byen vit—sa se Pak SENYÈ a.
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.
“‘Paske Mwen va pase nan peyi Égypte la nan nwit lan, e Mwen va frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte la, ni moun, ni bèt. Epi kont tout dye an Égypte yo, Mwen va egzekite jijman—Mwen menm se SENYÈ a.
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.
San an va yon sign pou nou sou kay kote nou rete yo. Lè Mwen wè san an, Mwen va pase sou nou, e nanpwen touman k ap rive nou, ni detwi nou lè Mwen frape peyi Égypte la.
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.
“‘Alò, jou sa a va vin yon jou pa janm bliye pou nou, e nou va selebre li kòm yon fèt a SENYÈ a. Pami tout jenerasyon yo nou gen pou fete li kòm yon règleman k ap la pou tout tan.’”
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.
“Pandan Sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, men nan premye jou a, nou va retire tout ledven ki nan kay nou yo. Paske nenpòt moun ki manje nenpòt bagay avèk ledven depi nan premye jou a jis rive nan setyèm jou a, moun sa va koupe retire nèt de Israël.
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,
“Nan premye jou a nou va fè yon konvokasyon sen, e yon lòt konvokasyon sen nan setyèm jou a. P ap gen travay k ap fèt nan yo, sof sa ki oblije fèt pou manje a chak moun; se sa sèl nou kapab prepare.
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.
“Nou va osi obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an, paske nan jou sa a menm, Mwen te fè lame nou yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Pou sa, nou va obsève jou sa pandan jenerasyon nou yo kòm yon règleman k ap la pou tout tan.
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;
“Nan premye mwa a, nan katòzyèm jou nan mwa a, nan aswè, nou va manje pen san ledven an, jiska vente-yen jou nan mwa a, lè l rive nan aswè.
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;
Pandan sèt jou yo nou pa pou twouve ledven lakay nou paske nenpòt moun ki manje sa ki leve, moun sa a va vin koupe retire nèt de asanble Israël la, menm si se yon etranje, oswa yon natif peyi a.
20 anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
Nou pa pou manje anyen avèk ledven. Nan tout abitasyon nou yo nou va manje pen san ledven.”
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;
Alò, Moïse te rele tout ansyen Israël yo e te di yo: “Ale pran pou nou menm jenn mouton yo selon fanmi nou, e touye jenn mouton Pak la.
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.
Nou va pran yon pake izòp e fonse li nan san basen an, epi mete kèk nan san basen an sou de chanbrann yo avèk travès lento pòt yo. Pèsòn pa pou ale deyò pòt kay li jis rive nan maten.
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.
Paske SENYÈ a va travèse pou frape Ejipsyen yo; epi lè Li wè san sou travès lento pòt yo, ak sou de chanbrann pòt yo, SENYÈ a va pase sou pòt la, e Li p ap kite destriktè a antre nan kay nou pou frape nou.
24 'And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons — unto the age;
“Epi nou va obsève evènman sa a kòm yon règleman pou nou menm avèk pitit nou yo pou tout tan.
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;
Lè nou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a va bannou an, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, nou va obsève sèvis sakre sila a.
26 and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What [is] this service ye have?
“Epi lè pitit nou di nou: ‘Kisa sa vle di selon sèvis sila a?’
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.'
Nou va di: ‘Sa se yon sakrifis Pak la pou SENYÈ a ki te pase sou kay a fis Israël yo nan Égypte lè Li t ap frape Ejipsyen yo, men te epanye lakay nou.’” Konsa, pèp la te bese ba, e te adore.
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.
Alò, fis Israël yo te ale fè sa, jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse avèk Aaron an, konsa yo te fè.
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.
Alò li te vin rive nan minwi, SENYÈ a te frape tout premye ne nan peyi Égypte yo, depi premye ne a Farawon ki te chita sou twòn li an, jis rive nan premye ne nan kaptif ki te nan prizon yo, e menm tout premye ne nan bèt yo.
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,
Farawon te leve nan nwit lan, li ak sèvitè li yo avèk tout Ejipsyen yo. Yo te gen yon gwo lamantasyon nan tout Égypte la, paske pa t gen kay kote moun pa t mouri.
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;
Epi li te rele Moïse avèk Aaron nan nwit lan. Li te di yo: “Leve e kite pèp mwen an, ni nou menm, ni fis Israël yo. Ale adore SENYÈ a, jan nou te di a.
32 both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'
Pran ni bann mouton nou yo, ni twoupo nou yo, jan nou te di a, epi ale. Konsa, beni mwen tou!”
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;'
Ejipsyen yo ak ijans menm, te ankouraje pèp la pou kite peyi a byen vit, paske yo te di: “Nou tout pral mouri.”
34 and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
Alò pèp la te pran pat farin ki potko leve yo, ak bòl pou petri yo byen mare nan rad yo, sou zepòl yo.
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;
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè selon pawòl a Moïse la, paske yo te mande nan men Ejipsyen yo, bagay ki fèt an ajan, bagay ki fèt avèk lò, avèk vètman.
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.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te bay pèp la favè nan zye Ejipsyen yo, jiskaske yo te sede a demann sa a. Konsa, yo te vin piyaje Ejipsyen yo.
37 And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
Alò, fis Israël yo te vwayaje soti nan Ramsès rive Succoth, anviwon sis-san-mil òm apye, san kontwole timoun.
38 and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd — very much cattle.
Yon gran foul byen mele osi te monte avèk yo, menm avèk bann mouton ak twoupo, yon trè gran kantite bèt.
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.
Yo te kwit pat farin ke yo te fè sòti an Égypte yo, e yo te fè gato ak pen san ledven yo. Li pa t leve, akòz ke yo te chase sòti an Égypte, e yo pa t kab pran reta, ni yo pa t prepare okenn manje pou yo menm.
40 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
Alò tan ke fis Israël yo te pase an Égypte la te kat-san-trant ane.
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.
Nan fen kat-san-trant ane yo, jis rive nan jou a menm, tout lame SENYÈ a te sòti an Égypte.
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.
Se yon nwit pou nou obsève pou SENYÈ a, paske li fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Nwit sa a se pou SENYÈ a, pou obsève pa tout fis Israël yo selon tout jenerasyon pa yo.
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;
SENYÈ a te di a Moise avèk Aaron: “Sa se òdonans Pak la. Okenn etranje pa pou manje li;
44 and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him — then he doth eat of it;
men esklav a chak moun, achte avèk lajan, lè nou fin sikonsi li, alò, li kapab manje nan li.
45 a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;
Yon etranje ki rete pami nou, oswa yon sèvitè ki anplwaye, pa pou manje l.
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;
“Li oblije manje nan yon sèl kay. Nou pa pou mennen okenn nan chè a andeyò kay la, ni nou pa pou kase okenn nan zo li.
47 all the company of Israel do keep it.
Tout asanble Israël la dwe obsève fèt sa a.
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;
“Men si yon etranje rete avèk nou, li selebre fèt Pak la bay SENYÈ a, ke tout mal gason li yo vin sikonsi, e kite li pwoche pou selebre li. Konsa, li va devni yon natif peyi a. Men okenn moun san sikonsisyon pa pou manje li.
49 one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'
Menm règ sa a va aplike a natif la tankou etranje ki demere pami nou yo.”
50 And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
Alò, tout fis Israël yo te fè sa. Yo te fè sa jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse avèk Aaron an.
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.
Epi nan menm jou sa a, SENYÈ a te mennen fis Israël yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la selon lòd lame pa yo.
