Thaama 12
1 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri atĩrĩ,
The LORD 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 to 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 to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;
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 little for a lamb, then he and his neighbour next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.
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 defect, a male a year old. You 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.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
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.
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 Ũtukũ o ũcio makaarĩa nyama icio ihĩhĩtio na mwaki, marĩĩanĩrie na nyeni ndũrũ na mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia.
They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 Mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ njĩthĩ kana itherũkĩtio na maaĩ, no ihĩhio na mwaki, mũtwe, na magũrũ o na nyama cia nda.
Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 Mũtikanatigie imwe ciacio ikinyĩrie rũciinĩ; iria ingĩtigara nginya rũciinĩ, no nginya mũgaacicina.
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you 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.
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’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.
For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgements against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
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.
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũrĩũririkanaga; ũkũngũyagĩrei harĩ njiarwa iria igooka ũrĩ wa gĩathĩ kĩa Jehova, ũrĩ ũndũ wathanĩtwo wa gũtũũra.
This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
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 shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats 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.
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may 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.
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
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 at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, 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.
There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
20 Mũtikanarĩe kĩndũ gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia. Kũrĩa guothe mũgaatũũra, mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ ndawa ya kũimbia.”
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall 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.
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to 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.
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. 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.
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 “Athĩkĩrai ũrutani ũyũ taarĩ watho wa gũtũũra wathĩkagĩrwo nĩ inyuĩ na njiaro cianyu.
You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25 Rĩrĩa mũgaatoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhe ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ.
It shall happen when you have come to the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 Na rĩrĩa ciana cianyu ikamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩathĩ gĩkĩ kiugĩte atĩa harĩ inyuĩ?’
It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean 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 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩgĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa na Harũni.
The children of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
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.
At midnight, the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
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.
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where 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.
He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from amongst my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said!
32 Oyai ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe o ta ũrĩa mũroigĩte na mũthiĩ. Na mũndathime o na niĩ.”
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
33 Nao andũ a Misiri makĩhĩka andũ acio moime bũrũri ũcio na ihenya, nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Kwaga ũguo, tũgũkua ithuothe!”
The Egyptians were urgent with 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.
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on 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.
The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels 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.
The LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered 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.
The children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38 Na andũ angĩ aingĩ nĩmathiire na makĩambatania nao, hamwe na ndũũru nene cia mahiũ ma mbũri na ngʼombe.
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even 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.
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 Ihinda rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũrire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩ mĩaka 430.
Now the time that the children of Israel lived 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.
At the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the day, all of the LORD’s armies 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 to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
43 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩmo mawatho ma Bathaka: “Gũtirĩ mũgeni ũngĩrĩa Bathaka ĩyo.
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
44 Ngombo o yothe ũgũrĩte no ĩrĩe Bathaka ĩyo thuutha wa kũmĩruithia,
but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 no mũrarĩrĩri kana mũruti wĩra wa mũcaara ndakanamĩrĩe.
A foreigner and a hired servant shall 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 must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli no nginya ũkũngũĩre Bathaka.
All the congregation of Israel shall keep 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.
When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 Watho o ũcio noguo ũgwatha arĩa maciarĩtwo marĩ a bũrũri, o na ageni arĩa matũũranagia na inyuĩ.”
One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you.”
50 Andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa na Harũni.
All the children of Israel did so. As the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 Na mũthenya o ro ũcio, Jehova akĩruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ikundi ciao.
That same day, the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
