< Ọpụpụ 12 >

1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu nʼala Ijipt sị ha,
Now YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Ọnwa a ga-abụrụ unu isi ọnwa. Ọ ga-abụ ọnwa mbụ nke ọnwa niile nʼafọ unu.
"This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Gwa ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, Nʼafọ ọbụla, nʼabalị iri nke ọnwa a, nwoke ọbụla ga-eweta nwa atụrụ nʼisi ezinaụlọ ọbụla.
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 Ezinaụlọ ọbụla nke dịkarịrị nta, nke na-enweghị ike iweta na iricha otu nwa atụrụ, ga-ejekwuru ezinaụlọ ọzọ dịkwa nta, ka ha jikọtaa onwe ha ọnụ weta nwa atụrụ. Ndị ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ aghaghị ibu ụzọ pịa mmadụ ole ha ga-adị nwee ike richaa otu atụrụ.
and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Nwa atụrụ a ga-eweta ga-abụ oke gbara naanị otu afọ, nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla nʼahụ ya. Unu nwere ike họrọ atụrụ maọbụ ewu.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 Unu ga-elekọta ya anya ruo nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa a. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ ka ọgbakọ Izrel niile ga-egbu ya.
and 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 Ha ga-ewere ọbara ya tee nʼelu na nʼakụkụ ibo ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼezinaụlọ ha niile, ebe ha ga-anọ rie anụ atụrụ ahụ.
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 Ha ga-eri anụ atụrụ a, nke a ga-ahụ nʼọkụ nʼabalị ahụ, ya na achịcha na-ekoghị eko, na ahịhịa ndụ na-elu ilu.
They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 A gaghị eri nwa atụrụ ọbụla na ndụ, a gaghị esikwa ya esi, kama a ga-ahụ ya nʼọkụ. A ga-ahụ akụkụ ahụ nwa atụrụ ọbụla nʼọkụ, tinyere isi ya, ụkwụ ya na ihe dị nʼime afọ ya.
Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 Unu agaghị erifọdụ ya ruo nʼụtụtụ echi ya. Nke ọbụla ga-afọdụ nʼabalị ahụ, a ga-akpọ ya ọkụ.
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 Otu a ka unu ga-esi rie ya: yirinụ uwe unu, na akpụkpọụkwụ unu. Jirikwanụ mkpara unu. Jikerenụ dịka ndị na-aga njem dị anya. Unu ga-eri anụ atụrụ a na achịcha na-ekoghị eko ngwangwa. A ga-akpọ oriri a Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị.
This is how you shall eat it: with your waist girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is YHWH's Passover.
12 “Aga m agafe nʼala Ijipt nʼabalị ahụ, igbu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, ma mmadụ, ma anụmanụ. Aga m emekwa ka ikpe ọmụma bịakwasị chi ndị ọzọ ahụ niile Ijipt na-efe ofufe. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.
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. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am YHWH.
13 Ọbara ahụ unu ga-ete nʼọnụ ibo ụlọ unu ga-abụ ihe ama igosi ebe unu bi, nʼihi na mgbe m hụrụ ọbara ahụ, aga m agafe unu. Ọ nwekwaghị ihe otiti ga-abịakwasị unu mgbe m ga-egbu ndị Ijipt.
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 “Ụbọchị a ga-abụrụ unu ihe ncheta nye ọgbọ niile ndị na-eso nʼazụ. Unu ga-emekwa ya ka ọ bụrụ mmemme nye Onyenwe anyị. Ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to YHWH: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
15 Ụbọchị asaa ka unu ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ụbọchị asaa ahụ, ka unu ga-esite nʼụlọ unu wezuga ihe iko achịcha niile, nʼihi na onye ọbụla riri nri nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya site nʼụbọchị mbụ ruo nʼụbọchị nke asaa, aghaghị ibipụ ya site nʼala Izrel.
"'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 Unu ga-ewere ụbọchị mbụ na ụbọchị nke asaa, nke mmemme ahụ, nwee mkpọkọta dị nsọ. Onye ọbụla agaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị abụọ ndị a, karịakwa isi nri unu ga-eri.
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
17 “Unu ga-edobekwa mmemme achịcha na-ekoghị eko nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime otu ụbọchị a ka m sitere nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu dịka usuu ndị agha. Unu ga-emekwa mmemme ụbọchị a ka ọ bụrụ ụkpụrụ nke na-adịgide adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your regiments out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 Nʼọnwa mbụ, nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị nke iri na anọ, ka unu ga-eri achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee ruo nʼanyasị nke ụbọchị iri abụọ na otu.
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 Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, agaghị ahụ ihe na-eko achịcha nʼụlọ unu. A ga-esite nʼọgbakọ ndị Izrel bipụ onye ọbụla riri ihe ọbụla nke ihe na-eko achịcha dị nʼime ya. Iwu a dịrị ndị ọbịa niile nʼala Izrel, dịkwara ndị nwa afọ ala.
For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that person must be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
20 Unu agaghị eri ihe ọbụla e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee. Nʼebe obibi unu niile, ọ bụ naanị achịcha na-ekoghị eko ka unu ga-eri.”
You must eat nothing leavened. In all your places where you live you must eat unleavened bread.'"
21 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kpọkọtara ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ họpụta ụmụ atụrụ nʼihi agbụrụ unu niile, gbuonụ atụrụ ngabiga ndị a.
Then Moses called for all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, "Go and select lambs according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.
22 Were ahịhịa hisọp, denye ya nʼọbara si nʼatụrụ ndị a nke a ga-awụnye nʼefere, tee ya nʼelu ibo na nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu agaghị apụ nʼezi tutu ruo ụtụtụ.
And you are to take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply it on the top and on both sides of the doorframe with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you is to go out of the door of his house until morning.
23 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-agafe igbu ndị Ijipt, ọ ga-ahụ ọbara ahụ nʼawara na mbudo ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ unu. Ọ ga-agafe ụlọ unu, gharakwa ikwe ka onye mbibi bata nʼụlọ unu gbuo unu.
For YHWH will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, YHWH will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
24 “Unu ga-edobe mmemme a dịka iwu ga-adịgide nye unu na ụmụ unu.
And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
25 Mgbe unu batara nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-enye unu dịka o kwere na nkwa, unu ga-edobe ofufe a.
And it shall come to pass when you enter the land which YHWH will give you, as he has promised, you must keep this ceremony.
26 Mgbe ụmụ unu ga-ajụ unu ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka ofufe a pụtara?’
And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
27 Unu ga-azaghachi ha sị, ‘Ọ bụ aja ngabiga anyị na-achụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ gafere ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nʼala Ijipt, mgbe o gburu ndị Ijipt, ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị o gburu.’”
that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of YHWH's Passover, because he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed down and worshiped.
28 Ụmụ Izrel mezuru ihe niile Onyenwe anyị gwara ha site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
Then the children of Israel went away and did as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 Nʼime etiti abalị ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gburu ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, malite nʼọkpara Fero onye nọ nʼocheeze ya, ruo nʼọkpara nke onye Ijipt nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ olulu. O gbukwara ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ.
And it came to pass at midnight that YHWH killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of livestock.
30 Nʼabalị ahụ kwa, Fero na ndị ozi ya, na ndị Ijipt niile biliri. Oke iti mkpu akwa dakwara nʼala Ijipt, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ezinaụlọ ọnwụ na-erughị.
And Pharaoh got up during the night, he, and all his servants, and all Egypt, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.
31 Nʼotu abalị ahụ, Fero zipụrụ ozi ka a kpọ Mosis na Erọn. Mgbe ha bịara, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ngwa bilienụ, unu bụ ụmụ Izrel niile. Kewapụnụ onwe unu site nʼetiti anyị. Gaanụ, fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe dịka unu rịọrọ.
Then he summoned for Moses and Aaron during the night, and said, "Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve YHWH, as you have requested.
32 Durunụ igwe ehi na atụrụ unu mgbe unu na-aga. Gọziekwanụ m mgbe unu na-apụ.”
Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."
33 Ndị Ijipt gbalịrị ime ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ha ngwangwa. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ Izrel ahapụghị anyị ugbu a, anyị niile ga-anwụkwa.”
The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
34 Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel buuru ụtụ ọka e ji eme achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nke ha tinyere nʼefere e ji agwakọta ya. Ha ji akwa kechie ha, bukwasị ha nʼubu ha.
So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
35 Ha mekwara ihe ndị ọzọ dịka Mosis gwara ha. Ha rịọrọ ndị Ijipt ka ha nye ha ihe iji ngwa nke ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na uwe.
Now the children of Israel did according to what Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing.
36 Onyenwe anyị nyere ndị ya amara nʼihu ndị Ijipt, ha nyere ha ihe niile ha rịọrọ. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, ụmụ Izrel napụtara ndị Ijipt ihe niile ha ji biri nʼụlọ.
And YHWH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted. And so they plundered Egypt.
37 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ụmụ Izrel malitere ije ha site na Ramesis. Mgbe ha hapụrụ Ramesis, na-eje Sukọt, ha dị narị puku ndị ikom isii, na-agụghị ndị inyom na ụmụntakịrị.
And the children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides their dependents.
38 Ọtụtụ mmadụ dị iche iche sooro ha nʼije ha. Ha dukwa igwe anụ ụlọ, igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, nke dị ukwu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.
39 Ha ji ụtụ ọka ha si Ijipt buputa mee achịcha na-ekoghị eko. Nʼihi na a chụpụrụ ha achụpụ site nʼIjipt, ha enweghị ezi ohere kwadooro onwe ha ihe oriri.
And they baked unleavened loaves using the dough that they had brought out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 Tupu ha ahapụ ala Ijipt, ụmụ Izrel ebiela nʼebe ahụ narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ.
Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Mgbe narị afọ anọ na iri afọ atọ zuru, nʼụbọchị ahụ o zuru, usuu ndị Onyenwe anyị niile hapụrụ Ijipt.
And it came to pass at the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, it came to pass that all the regiments of YHWH went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Onyenwe anyị chere nche nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ maka ịkpọpụta ha site nʼala Ijipt. Nʼihi ya, abalị ụbọchị ahụ bụ mgbe pụrụ iche nye ụmụ Izrel maka iji iche nche sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼọgbọ ha niile.
It was a night when YHWH kept vigil to bring them out from the land of Egypt. So on this night all the children of Israel must keep a vigil to YHWH throughout their generations.
43 Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha sị, “Ndị a bụ usoro iwu metụtara Mmemme Ngabiga: “Onye mba ọzọ agaghị eri anụ nwa atụrụ ahụ.
And YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat of it,
44 Ohu ọbụla a kwụrụ ụgwọ nʼisi ya ga-eri ya naanị ma e biri ya ugwu.
but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
45 Ohu e goro ọrụ, maọbụ onye ọbịa ọbụla agaghị eri ya.
A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
46 “A ga-eri ya naanị nʼime otu ụlọ. Ọ gaghị apụ nʼezi. Unu agaghị atapịa ọkpụkpụ ọbụla nke nwa atụrụ ahụ.
It is to be eaten in one house. You must not take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.
47 Nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel ga-eme Mmemme Ngabiga a.
All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.
48 “Onye mba ọzọ bi nʼetiti unu chọrọ isoro unu na Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ibi ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya ugwu. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-abịaru nso isoro na mmemme, nʼihi na a ga-agụ ya dịka nwa afọ ala. Ọ dịghị onye ikom a na-ebighị ugwu ga-eri nri ahụ.
If a foreigner lives with you and wants to keep the Passover to YHWH, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may take part and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
49 Otu iwu a dịrị nwa afọ ala na ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼala Izrel.”
The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
50 Ụmụ Izrel mere ihe ndị a niile, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu site nʼọnụ Mosis na Erọn.
So all the children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 Ọ bụkwa nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼala Ijipt dupụta ụmụ Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị.
And it happened on this very day that YHWH brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
