< Thaama 12 >

1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Mweri ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtuĩka mweri wa mbere harĩ inyuĩ, ũtuĩke mweri wa mbere wa mwaka wanyu.
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Ĩrai andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi mweri ũyũ, o mũndũ akanyiitĩra andũ a nyũmba yake gatũrũme; o nyũmba gatũrũme kamwe.
Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.
4 Nyũmba ĩngĩgakorwo ĩrĩ nini mũno, ũndũ ĩtangĩniina gatũrũme kamwe-rĩ, nĩmanyiitanĩre gatũrũme kamwe na nyũmba ĩrĩa mahakanĩte nayo, marĩkĩtie gwĩtara mũigana wao meturanĩire. Rorai na mũtue wega nĩ tũtũrũme tũigana tũkabatarania kũringana na mũrĩĩre wa o mũndũ.
And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.
5 Nyamũ iria mũgũthuura no nginya ikorwo irĩ tũtũrũme twa ũkũrũ wa mwaka ũmwe, na itarĩ na kaũũgũ, na mũgaaciruta kuuma harĩ ngʼondu kana mbũri.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
6 Cimenyererei nginya mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe a Isiraeli magaacithĩnja hwaĩ-inĩ.
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo makooya thakame ĩmwe ya tũtũrũme tũu, nao mamĩhake hingĩro-inĩ cia igũrũ na cia mĩena ya mũrango wa nyũmba ĩrĩa makaarĩĩra tũtũrũme tũu.
And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
8 Ũtukũ o ũcio makaarĩa nyama icio ihĩhĩtio na mwaki, marĩĩanĩrie na nyeni ndũrũ na mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia.
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
9 Mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ njĩthĩ kana itherũkĩtio na maaĩ, no ihĩhio na mwaki, mũtwe, na magũrũ o na nyama cia nda.
Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
10 Mũtikanatigie imwe ciacio ikinyĩrie rũciinĩ; iria ingĩtigara nginya rũciinĩ, no nginya mũgaacicina.
And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 Ũũ nĩguo mũkaarĩa nyama icio: mũkorwo mwĩhotorete mĩcibi yanyu njohero, na iraatũ cianyu irĩ magũrũ, na mĩtirima yanyu ĩrĩ moko. Mũgaacirĩa naihenya; ĩyo nĩyo Bathaka ya Jehova.
And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
12 “O ũtukũ ũcio nĩngatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩngooraga marigithathi mothe ma andũ na ma nyamũ, na nĩngatuĩra ngai cia bũrũri wa Misiri ciothe ciira. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.
13 Thakame ĩyo ĩgaatuĩka rũũri rwanyu nyũmba-inĩ iria mũgaakorwo mũrĩ, na rĩrĩa ngoona thakame-rĩ, no kũmũhĩtũka ngaamũhĩtũka. Gũtirĩ mũthiro ũkamũhutia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaahũũra bũrũri wa Misiri.
And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũrĩũririkanaga; ũkũngũyagĩrei harĩ njiarwa iria igooka ũrĩ wa gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova, ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra.
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
15 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia. Mũthenya wa mbere mũkeeheria ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma nyũmba cianyu, nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ ndawa ya kũimbia kuuma mũthenya wa mbere nginya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, nĩakaingatwo eherio harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day — that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 Gĩai na kĩũngano gĩtheru mũthenya wa mbere, na mũgĩe na kĩngĩ mũthenya wa mũgwanja. Mũtikanarute wĩra o na ũrĩkũ mĩthenya ĩyo, tiga o wa kũhaarĩria irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ mũndũ wothe, ũguo noguo mũngĩĩka.
And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person — that only shall be done by you.
17 “Kũngũĩrai Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate Ĩtarĩ Ndawa ya Kũimbia, tondũ nĩ mũthenya ũyũ kĩũmbe ndamũrutire mũrĩ ikundi kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri. Kũngũĩrai mũthenya ũyũ ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra nginya njiarwa iria igooka.
And ye shall keep the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.
18 Mweri wa mbere mũrĩrĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, kwambĩrĩria hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩrĩ na ũmwe.
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
19 Handũ ha matukũ mũgwanja, gũtikoneke ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate nyũmba-inĩ cianyu. Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũngĩrĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia nĩakaingatwo athengio mũingĩ-inĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ mũgeni, kana aciarĩtwo arĩ Mũisiraeli.
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened — that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
20 Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia. Kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.”
Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 Nake Musa agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli othe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi o narua mũgathuure nyamũ nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba cianyu na mũthĩnje gatũrũme ka Bathaka.
And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.
22 Oyai kĩohe kĩa mahuti ma mũthobi, mũgĩtobokie karaĩ-inĩ karĩ na thakame, mũcooke mũmĩhake hingĩro ya igũrũ ya mũrango, o na mĩena yeerĩ ya hingĩro cia mũrango. Gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe wanyu ũkuuma nja ya nyũmba yake nginya rũciinĩ.
And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova arĩtuĩkania bũrũri nĩguo orage andũ a Misiri-rĩ, nĩarĩona thakame ĩyo ĩrĩ igũrũ na mĩena ya hingĩro cia mĩrango, nake ahĩtũke mũromo wa nyũmba ĩyo, na nĩakagiria mũniinani atoonye nyũmba cianyu amũũrage.
And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite [you].
24 “Athĩkĩrai ũrutani ũyũ taarĩ watho wa gũtũũra wathĩkagĩrwo nĩ inyuĩ na njiaro cianyu.
And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
25 Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhe ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ.
And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 Na rĩrĩa ciana cianyu ikamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩathĩ gĩkĩ kiugĩte atĩa harĩ inyuĩ?’
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
27 Mũgaaciĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ igongona rĩa Bathaka rĩa kũrutĩra Jehova, ũrĩa waagararire nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na akĩhonokia andũ a nyũmba ciitũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ooragire andũ a Misiri.’” Nao andũ makĩinamĩrĩria mothiũ mao, makĩhooya.
that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, 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 their heads and worshipped.
28 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩgĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa na Harũni.
And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
29 O ũtukũ gatagatĩ Jehova akĩũraga marigithathi mothe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kwambĩrĩria irigithathi rĩa Firaũni, ũrĩa waikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nginya irigithathi rĩa mũndũ muohe ũrĩa warĩ njeera na marigithathi ma mahiũ mothe.
And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Firaũni na anene ake othe o na andũ a Misiri othe, magĩũkĩra kũrĩ o ũtukũ, nakuo gũkĩgĩa kĩrĩro kĩnene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ nyũmba ĩtaarĩ na mũndũ wakuĩte.
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31 O ũtukũ ũcio, Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrai! Ehererai andũ akwa, inyuĩ o na andũ a Isiraeli othe! Thiĩi mũgatungatĩre Jehova o ta ũrĩa mũũrĩtie.
And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32 Oyai ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe o ta ũrĩa mũroigĩte na mũthiĩ. Na mũndathime o na niĩ.”
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
33 Nao andũ a Misiri makĩhĩka andũ acio moime bũrũri ũcio na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Kwaga ũguo, tũgũkua ithuothe!”
And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!
34 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩoya kĩmere kĩao gĩtanekĩrwo ndawa ya kũimbia, na magĩgĩkuua na ciande, nayo mĩharatĩ yoohereirwo nguo-inĩ.
And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa meerĩĩtwo nĩ Musa na makĩhooya andũ a Misiri mamahe indo cia betha na cia thahabu, o na nguo.
And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
36 Jehova agĩtũma andũ acio metĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri nao makĩmahe kĩrĩa gĩothe meetirie; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtaha indo cia andũ a Misiri.
And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Andũ a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria rũgendo kuuma Ramesese magĩthiĩ Sukothu. Arũme arĩa metwaraga na magũrũ maarĩ ta 600,000 hategũtarwo atumia na ciana.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
38 Na andũ angĩ aingĩ nĩmathiire na makĩambatania nao, hamwe na ndũũru nene cia mahiũ ma mbũri na ngʼombe.
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds — very much cattle.
39 Kĩmere kĩrĩa maarutĩte bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩo maatũmĩrire gũthondeka mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia. Kĩmere kĩu gĩtiarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia tondũ nĩkũingatwo maingatirwo bũrũri wa Misiri, na matiigana kũgĩa na ihinda rĩa kũhaarĩria irio ciao.
And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40 Ihinda rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũrire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ mĩaka 430.
And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Harĩa mĩaka ĩyo 430 yathirĩire-rĩ, mũthenya o ro ũcio, nĩguo ikundi ciothe cia andũ a Jehova cioimire bũrũri wa Misiri.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Tondũ ũtukũ ũcio nĩguo Jehova aikarire eiguĩte nĩguo amarute bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, na ũtukũ ũyũ nao andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmarĩikaraga meiguĩte nĩguo matĩĩage Jehova njiarwa-inĩ ciothe iria igooka.
It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩmo mawatho ma Bathaka: “Gũtirĩ mũgeni ũngĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo.
And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;
44 Ngombo o yothe ũgũrĩte no ĩrĩe Bathaka ĩyo thuutha wa kũmĩruithia,
but every man's bondman that is bought for money — let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
45 no mũrarĩrĩri kana mũruti wĩra wa mũcaara ndakanamĩrĩe.
A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.
46 “No nginya ĩrĩĩagĩrwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba o ĩmwe, mũtikanoimie nyama o na ĩrĩkũ nja ya nyũmba. Mũtikanoine ihĩndĩ o na rĩmwe rĩayo.
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli no nginya ũkũngũĩre Bathaka.
All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.
48 “Mũgeni ũtũũrĩte thĩinĩ wanyu na nĩekwenda gũkũngũĩra Bathaka ya Jehova, no nginya aruithie arũme othe a nyũmba yake; thuutha ũcio nĩrĩo angĩkũngũĩra Bathaka ta mũndũ ũciarĩirwo bũrũri-inĩ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme ũtarĩ mũruu ũngĩrĩa Bathaka.
And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 Watho o ũcio noguo ũgwatha arĩa maciarĩtwo marĩ a bũrũri, o na ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
50 Andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni.
And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
51 Na mũthenya o ro ũcio, Jehova akĩruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ikundi ciao.
And it came to pass on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
