< Thaama 12 >

1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri atĩrĩ,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to 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 [is] the chief of months to you—it [is] the first of the months 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 to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they take to themselves, each man, a lamb for the house of the fathers, 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 is too few for a lamb, then he has taken, he and his neighbor who is near to his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating you 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.
A lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let [it] be to you; you 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 it has become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel has slaughtered it between the 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 have taken of the blood, and have put [it] on the two doorposts, and on the lintel over 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 have eaten the flesh in this night, a roast with fire; they eat it with unleavened things and bitters;
9 Mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ njĩthĩ kana itherũkĩtio na maaĩ, no ihĩhio na mwaki, mũtwe, na magũrũ o na nyama cia nda.
you do not eat of it raw, or boiled in water at all, but a roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its innards;
10 Mũtikanatigie imwe ciacio ikinyĩrie rũciinĩ; iria ingĩtigara nginya rũciinĩ, no nginya mũgaacicina.
and you do not leave of it until morning, and that which is remaining of it until morning you 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 you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you have eaten it in haste; it is YHWH’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 have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and I do judgments on all the gods of Egypt; I [am] YHWH.
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 has become a sign for you on the houses where you [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My striking in 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 has become a memorial to you, and you have kept it [for] a celebration to YHWH throughout your generations—a continuous statute; you keep it [for] a celebration.
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 you eat unleavened things; only—in the first day you cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for anyone eating anything fermented from the first day until the seventh day, indeed, that person has been 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 in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day you 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,
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 you have observed the Unleavened Things, for in this very day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and you have observed this day throughout your generations—a continuous statute.
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, you eat unleavened things until the twenty-first day of the month, at 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 leaven is not found in your houses, for anyone eating anything fermented—that person has been cut off from the congregation of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;
20 Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia. Kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.”
you do not eat anything fermented—in all your dwellings you eat [only] unleavened things.”
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 calls for all [the] elderly of Israel and says to them, “Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the Passover-sacrifice;
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 you 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 doorposts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and you, you do not go out—each from the opening of his house—until 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 YHWH has passed on to strike the Egyptians, and has seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, and YHWH has passed over the opening, and does not permit the destruction to come into your houses to strike.
24 “Athĩkĩrai ũrutani ũyũ taarĩ watho wa gũtũũra wathĩkagĩrwo nĩ inyuĩ na njiaro cianyu.
And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time;
25 Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhe ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ.
and it has been, when you come to the land which YHWH gives to you as He has spoken, that you have kept this service;
26 Na rĩrĩa ciana cianyu ikamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩathĩ gĩkĩ kiugĩte atĩa harĩ inyuĩ?’
and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have?
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 you have said, It [is] a sacrifice of Passover to YHWH, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His striking the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.”
28 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩgĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa na Harũni.
And the people bow and pay respect, and the sons of Israel go and do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
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 comes to pass, at midnight, that YHWH has struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and every firstborn of beasts.
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 rises 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,
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 calls for Moses and for Aaron by night and says, “Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the sons of Israel, and go, serve YHWH according to your word;
32 Oyai ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe o ta ũrĩa mũroigĩte na mũthiĩ. Na mũndathime o na niĩ.”
take both your flock and your herd as you have spoken, and go; then you have also blessed me.”
33 Nao andũ a Misiri makĩhĩka andũ acio moime bũrũri ũcio na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Kwaga ũguo, tũgũkua ithuothe!”
And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hastening to send them away out of the land, for they said, “We are all dead”;
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 take up their dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
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 sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask for vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments, from the Egyptians;
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 YHWH has given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil 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 sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
38 Na andũ angĩ aingĩ nĩmathiire na makĩambatania nao, hamwe na ndũũru nene cia mahiũ ma mbũri na ngʼombe.
and a great rabble has also gone up with them, and flock and herd—very much livestock.
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 bake unleavened cakes with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt, for it has not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also they have not made provision for themselves.
40 Ihinda rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũrire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ mĩaka 430.
And the dwelling of the sons of Israel [in] which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] 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 comes to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years—indeed, it comes to pass on this very same day—all the hosts of YHWH have gone 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 watchings to YHWH, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night of watchings to YHWH to all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.
43 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩmo mawatho ma Bathaka: “Gũtirĩ mũgeni ũngĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo.
And YHWH says to Moses and Aaron, “This [is] a statute of the Passover; any son of a stranger does not eat of it;
44 Ngombo o yothe ũgũrĩte no ĩrĩe Bathaka ĩyo thuutha wa kũmĩruithia,
and any man’s servant, the purchase of money, when you have circumcised him—then he eats of it;
45 no mũrarĩrĩri kana mũruti wĩra wa mũcaara ndakanamĩrĩe.
a settler or hired servant does not eat of it;
46 “No nginya ĩrĩĩagĩrwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba o ĩmwe, mũtikanoimie nyama o na ĩrĩkũ nja ya nyũmba. Mũtikanoine ihĩndĩ o na rĩmwe rĩayo.
it is eaten in one house, you do not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh outside, and you do not break a bone of it;
47 Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli no nginya ũkũngũĩre Bathaka.
all the congregation of Israel keeps 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 sojourns with you, and has made a Passover to YHWH, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he comes near to keep it, and he has been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one does not eat of it;
49 Watho o ũcio noguo ũgwatha arĩa maciarĩtwo marĩ a bũrũri, o na ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.”
50 Andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni.
And all the sons of Israel do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
51 Na mũthenya o ro ũcio, Jehova akĩruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ikundi ciao.
And it comes to pass on this very same day, YHWH has brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.
