< Mose 2 12 >
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron le Egipte be,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
2 “Tso azɔ dzi yina la, ɣleti siae anye gbãtɔ kple ɣleti vevitɔ wu na mi le ƒea me.
Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.
3 Miɖe gbeƒã na Israelviwo katã be le ɣleti sia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe nalé alẽvi ɖeka na eƒe ƒome, alẽ ɖeka ɖe aƒekɔ ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe nu.
Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:
4 Ne aƒekɔ aɖe le sue akpa na alẽvi blibo ɖeka ɖuɖu la, woama alẽvi la kple woƒe aƒelika si te ɖe wo ŋu wu le woƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu. Ele be miabu alẽvi siwo ŋu dɔ woawɔ la ŋu le ameawo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu, ɖe nu si ame sia ame aɖu la nu.
And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
5 Alẽ alo gbɔ̃ sia anye atsu si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye naneke megblẽ le eƒe akpa aɖeke ŋu o.
Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:
6 Miakpɔ wo dzi va se ɖe ɣleti sia ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia dzi, esi Israelviwo katã awu woƒe lãwo le fiẽ me,
Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.
7 woatsɔ woƒe ʋu asi na woƒe ʋɔtrua ƒe axadziti eveawo kple ʋɔtrua ƒe tameti le aƒe ɖe sia ɖe si me woaɖu alẽviawo le.
Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.
8 Le zã ma ke me la, woame lã la aɖu kple amagbe veve kple abolo maʋamaʋã.
And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.
9 Migaɖui mumu alo aɖae hafi aɖu o, ke boŋ mimee dɔnogoe, ta kple afɔwo siaa.
Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.
10 Migagblẽ lã la ƒe ɖeke ɖi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o. Ne miete ŋu ɖu wo katã gbe ma gbe ƒe fiẽ o la, ele be miatɔ dzo esi susɔ.
Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.
11 Ale si mianɔ hafi aɖui nye esi: mido miaƒe awuwo, miabla wo dzi kple alidziblaka. Mido miaƒe atokotawo ɖe afɔ, eye mialé miaƒe atizɔtiwo ɖe asi. Miɖui abe sisilawo ene, elabena Yehowa ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkeke wònye.
And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
12 “Elabena mato Egiptenyigba la dzi le zã sia me, eye mawu ŋgɔgbevi ɖe sia ɖe, amewo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Egipte mawuwo katã, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.
13 Ʋu si miesi ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu la anye dzesi be mieɖoa tom. Ne mekpɔ ʋua la, mato mia ŋuti. Nyemawu viŋutsu gbãtɔwo ne meyina Egiptetɔwo tɔwo wu ge o.
And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.
14 “Ele be miaɖu ŋkekenyui sia na Yehowa ƒe sia ƒe be wòaɖo ŋku zã si me Egiptetɔwo ƒe ŋutsuvi gbãtɔwo ku la dzi. Esia zu se si me woalé ɖe asi tegbetegbe.
And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.
15 Miaɖu ŋkekenyui sia ŋkeke adre. Le ŋkeke adreawo katã me la, ele be miaɖu abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã ko. Woaɖe ame sia ame si agbe se sia dzi wɔwɔ le ŋkeke adreawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã me la le Israelviwo ƒe hame.
For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.
16 Le ŋkekenyui sia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ kple mamlɛtɔ dzi la, ameha la katã ade takpekpe kɔkɔe aɖe. Womawɔ dɔ aɖeke le ŋkeke siawo dzi o, negbe nuɖaɖa ko.
And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.
17 “‘Abolo Maʋamaʋã Ŋkekenyui’ sia ɖuɖu ƒe sia ƒe ana miaɖo ŋku ŋkeke sia dzi abe gbe si gbe meɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi ene, eya ta ezu se mavɔ be miaɖu ŋkekenyui sia ƒe sia ƒe, tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.
18 Abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã la ko woaɖu tso ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia ƒe fiẽ va se ɖe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛlia ƒe fiẽ.
In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
19 Mele be amɔʋãtike aɖeke nanɔ miaƒe aƒewo me le ŋkeke adre siawo me o. Woaɖe ame sia ame si aɖu nu si wowɔ kple amɔ ʋaʋã le ɣeyiɣi sia me la le Israelviwo ƒe hame. Ele be amedzro siwo le mia dome kple dzɔleaƒeawo siaa nalé se sia me ɖe asi.
For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.
20 Megale egblɔm be, le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, mele be miaɖu nu si wowɔ kple amɔ ʋaʋã la ƒe ɖeke o: miɖu nu si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã la ko le afi sia afi si mianɔ.”
Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.
21 Ale Mose yɔ Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiwo ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi mialé alẽwo tso miaƒe alẽhawo dome. Aƒekɔ ɖeka nalé alẽ ɖeka; aƒekɔ sue eve nalé alẽ ɖeka. Esia aku ɖe ame siwo le aƒeawo me ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ŋu. Miwu Ŋutitotolẽvi la.
Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.
22 Mitsyɔ alẽvi la ƒe ʋu ɖe gagbɛ aɖe me. Minyrɔ kakle ɖe ʋu la me, eye miatsɔe asisi ʋu la ɖe ʋɔtruti la tame kple eƒe axawo dzi, ale be ʋu nanɔ ʋɔtrutiawo ŋu. Mia dometɔ aɖeke mado go le xɔ me le zã ma me o.
And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.
23 “Elabena Yehowa ato anyigba la dzi, eye wòawu Egiptetɔwo. Ke ne ekpɔ ʋu le ʋɔtruti la tametɔ kple eƒe axadzitɔwo ŋu la, ato ʋɔtru la ŋu, eye maɖe mɔ na nugblẽla wòage ɖe eme awu miaƒe ŋutsuvi gbãtɔwo o.
For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.
24 Miɖo ŋku edzi be esia nye se si anɔ anyi tegbetegbe na miawo ŋutɔwo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo.
And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.
25 Ne mieva ɖo anyigba si Yehowa ana mi dzi abe ale si wòdo ŋugbee na mi ene, ne miele Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖum,
And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.
26 eye mia viwo bia mi be, ‘Nu ka ta miele ŋkekenyui sia ɖum mahã?’ la,
And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?
27 miaɖo eŋu be, ‘Enye Yehowa ƒe mía ŋuti toto ƒe vɔsa, elabena eto Israelviwo ƒe aƒewo ŋuti, eye wòwu Egiptetɔwo.’” Ameawo katã de ta agu, eye wosubɔ Mawu.
Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
28 Israel wɔ abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose kple Aron ene.
And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 Le zã ma me, le zãtitina tututu la, Yehowa wu ŋutsuvi gbãtɔwo le Egiptenyigba la dzi, tso Farao ƒe viŋutsuvi gbãtɔ si le eƒe zi dzi la dzi va se ɖe gaxɔmenɔla ƒe viŋutsuvi gbãtɔ dzi. Ewu lãwo ƒe vi siwo nye atsu la ƒe gbãtɔwo hã.
And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.
30 Farao kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo kple Egiptetɔwo katã fɔ le zã ma me. Avifafa nɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, elabena aƒe aɖeke menɔ anyi esi me ame meku le o.
Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
31 Farao yɔ Mose kple Aron le zã ma me, eye wògblɔ be, “Netsɔ, midzo le mía gbɔ, míeɖe kuku, mi katã midzo! Mia ŋutɔwo kple Israelviwo; miyi miasubɔ Yehowa abe ale si miebia ene.
And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.
32 Mikplɔ miaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo, eye miadzo. Miyram eye miadzo.”
And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.
33 Egiptetɔwo ƒo du ɖe Israelviwo nu be woadzo le anyigba la dzi kaba, abe ale si woate ŋui ene, elabena wogblɔ be, “Ne menye nenema o la, mí katã míele kuku ge.”
And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.
34 Israelviwo tsɔ woƒe amɔ maʋamaʋã ɖe asi. Wobla woƒe amɔkpakuwo ɖe woƒe avɔ mamlɛawo me heda ɖe abɔta.
And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.
35 Israelviwo wɔ abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo ene. Woɣe klosalonuwo kple sikanuwo kple awuwo le Egiptetɔwo si.
And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:
36 Yehowa na Egiptetɔwo nyo dɔ me na Israelviwo ale gbegbe be wotsɔ nu sia nu si Israelviwo bia wo la na wo. Ale Egiptetɔwo ƒe nu sia nu kloe yi Israelviwo gbɔ!
And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.
37 Israelviwo dzo le Rameses le zã ma me heɖo ta Sukɔt. Ŋutsu akpe alafa ade kple nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo dze mɔ kple afɔ.
And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.
38 Amedzro geɖewo hã dze mɔ kpli wo. Woho kple alẽha kple nyiha gã aɖewo.
And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.
39 Ne wotɔ hena nuɖuɖu la, wowɔa abolo kple amɔ maʋamaʋã si wotsɔ ɖe asi la ŋu dɔ. Amɔ la meʋã o, elabena ɖe wonya wo le Egipte, eye womekpɔ ɣeyiɣi aɖeke ana woƒe amɔ naʋã woatsɔ ɖe asi na mɔzɔzɔ la o.
And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.
40 Israelviwo nɔ Egipte ƒe alafa ene blaetɔ̃.
Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
41 Le ƒe alafa ene blaetɔ̃ lia ƒe nuwuwu, le ŋkeke ma dzi tututu la, Yehowa ƒe amewo katã ʋu le Egipte.
And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
42 Yehowa tia zã sia be yeaɖe yeƒe amewo tso Egiptenyigba dzi, eya ta wòna zã sia zu gbe si gbe Israelviwo katã aɖu ale si Yehowa ɖe woe la ƒe ŋkekenyui ƒe sia ƒe.
It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
43 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be, “Esiawoe nye se siwo le Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu ŋuti. “Amedzro aɖeke maɖu alẽvi la ƒe lã o,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:
44 gake kluvi si mieƒle hetso aʋa na la ate ŋu aɖui.
But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.
45 Agbatedɔwɔla alo amedzro si le mia gbɔ la, mekpɔ mɔ aɖui o.
A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.
46 Mi ame siwo katã aɖu alẽvi ɖeka la, miaɖui le aƒe ɖeka me: miatsɔ ɖeke ado goe o, eye miagbã ƒu aɖeke hã o.
It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.
47 Israelviwo katã aɖu ŋkekenyui sia le ɣeyiɣi ɖeka dzi.
All Israel is to keep the feast.
48 “Ne amedzro siwo le mia gbɔ di be yewoaɖu Yehowa ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kpli mi la, mina woƒe ŋutsuwo katã natso aʋa, ekema woate ŋu aɖui kpli mi. Ekema woazu abe ɖe wodzi wo ɖe mia dome ene. Ke bolotɔ aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ aɖu ŋutitotolẽvi la o.
And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.
49 Se ɖeka ma kee akplɔ Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome.”
The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.
50 Israelviwo wɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na wo to Mose kple Aron dzi la dzi.
So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.
51 Gbe ma gbe kee Yehowa kplɔ Israelviwo do goe tso Egiptenyigba dzi, le woƒe to vovovoawo me.
And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
