< Kobima 12 >

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron kati na Ejipito:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. He said,
2 « Sanza oyo ekozala mpo na bino sanza ya liboso ya mobu.
“For you, this month will be the start of months, the first month of the year to you.
3 Boloba boye na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: Na mokolo ya zomi na sanza oyo, libota moko na moko to ndako moko na moko esengeli kozala na mwana meme to na mwana ntaba.
Tell the assembly of Israel, 'On the tenth day of this month they must each take a lamb or young goat for themselves, each family doing this, a lamb for each household.
4 Kasi soki bato ya ndako bazali ebele te mpo na kolia mwana meme ya mobimba, bakolia yango elongo na bato ya ndako oyo ezali pene na ndako na bango kolanda motango ya bato. Bakopona mwana meme kolanda oyo moko na moko akoki kolia.
If the household is too small for a lamb, the man and his next door neighbor are to take lamb or young goat meat that will be enough for the number of the people. It should be enough for everyone to eat, so they must take enough meat to feed them all.
5 Mwana meme to mwana ntaba oyo bakopona esengeli kozala ya mobali, ya mobu moko mpe ezanga mbeba.
Your lamb or young goat must be without blemish, a one-year-old male. You may take one of the sheep or goats.
6 Bokobatela yango kino na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza yango. Na mokolo yango, bato nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bakokata yango kingo na pokwa.
You must keep it until the fourteenth day of that month. Then the whole assembly of Israel must kill these animals at twilight.
7 Bakozwa makila na yango mpe bakopakola yango na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke ya bandako epai wapi bakolia nyama yango.
You must take some of the blood and put it on the two side doorposts and on the tops of the doorframes of the houses in which you will eat the meat.
8 Na butu ya mokolo yango, bakotumba mosuni na yango na moto mpe bakolia yango elongo na mapa ezanga levire mpe matiti ya bololo.
You must eat the meat that night, after first roasting it over a fire. Eat it with bread made without yeast, along with bitter herbs.
9 Bakolia te mosuni oyo ebela malamu te to oyo batokisa, kasi bakolia kaka mosuni oyo batumba na moto elongo na makolo, moto mpe biloko ya kati.
Do not eat it raw or boiled in water. Instead, roast it over fire with its head, legs and inner parts.
10 Bokotika ata ndambo te kino na tongo. Kasi soki ndambo ekomi na tongo, botumba yango na moto.
You must not let any of it be left over until morning. You must burn whatever is left over in the morning.
11 Tala ndenge nini bokolia yango: bokolata mokaba na loketo, basandale na makolo, mpe bokosimba lingenda na loboko. Bokolia yango na lombangu. Ezali feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe.
This is how you must eat it: with your belt fastened, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You must eat it hurriedly. It is Yahweh's Passover.
12 Kaka na butu yango, nakoleka na Ejipito; nakoboma bana nyonso ya liboso kati na Ejipito kobanda na bato kino na banyama; mpe nakosambisa banzambe nyonso ya Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu. Nazali Yawe.
Yahweh says this: I will go through the land of Egypt in that night and attack all the firstborn of man and animal in the land of Egypt. I will bring punishment on all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
13 Na bandako epai wapi bokozala, makila ekozala elembo mpo na bino; bongo tango Ngai nakomona makila yango, nakoleka bino. Boye etumbu moko te ya kufa ekokweya kati na bino tango nakopesa etumbu na mokili ya Ejipito.
The blood will be a sign on your houses for my coming to you. When I see the blood, I will pass over you when I attack the land of Egypt. This plague will not come on you and destroy you.
14 Mokolo yango ekozala mokolo ya ekaniseli mpo na bino. Bileko na bileko, bokobanda kosala feti na mokolo yango mpo na lokumu ya Yawe; yango ekozala mpo na bino mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bakitani oyo bakoya sima na bino.
This day will become a memorial day for you, which you must observe as a festival for Yahweh. It will always be a law for you, throughout your people's generations, that you must observe this day.
15 Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire. Na mokolo ya liboso, bokolongola levire na bandako na bino; pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolia eloko oyo ezali na levire, kobanda na mokolo ya liboso kino na mokolo ya sambo, bakolongola ye kati na bato ya Isalaele.
You will eat bread without yeast during seven days. On the first day you will remove the yeast from your houses. Whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person must be cut off from Israel.
16 Bokozala na mayangani ya bule na mokolo ya liboso mpe na mokolo ya sambo. Bokosala mosala moko te na mikolo wana longola kaka mosala ya kolamba bilei oyo moto na moto akolia. Yango kaka nde bokosala.
On the first day there will be an assembly that is set apart to me, and on the seventh day there will be another such gathering. No work will be done on these days, except the cooking for everyone to eat. That must be the only work that may be done by you.
17 Bokosala feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, pamba te ezalaki na mokolo yango nde nabimisaki mampinga na bino na Ejipito. Bokosala feti na mokolo yango lokola mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bakitani oyo bakoya sima na bino.
You must observe this Festival of Unleavened Bread because it is on this day that I will have brought your people, armed group by armed group, out of the land of Egypt. So you must observe this day throughout your people's generations. This will always be a law for you.
18 Na sanza ya liboso, bokolia mapa ezanga levire kobanda na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei kino na pokwa ya mokolo ya tuku mibale na moko.
You must eat unleavened bread from twilight of the fourteenth day in the first month of the year, until twilight of the twenty-first day of the month.
19 Mikolo sambo, levire esengeli te komonana kati na bandako na bino; pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolia eloko oyo ezali na levire, esengeli balongola ye na lisanga ya Isalaele, azala mopaya to mwana mboka ya Isalaele.
During these seven days, no yeast must be found in your houses. Whoever eats bread made with yeast must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether that person is a foreigner or someone born in your land.
20 Bokolia eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire. Na bisika nyonso oyo bokozala, bokolia kaka mapa ezanga levire. »
You must eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat bread made without yeast.'”
21 Moyize abengisaki bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: « Bokende kozwa na libota moko na moko mwana meme to mwana ntaba mpe bokata yango kingo lokola mbeka ya Pasika.
Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs or kids that will be enough to feed your families and kill the Passover lamb.
22 Bokokamata etape ya nzete ya izope, bokozindisa yango na makila oyo ekozala kati na sani monene, bokopakola yango na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke. Moko te kati na bino abima libanda ya ekuke ya ndako na ye kino na tongo.
Then take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that will be in a basin. Apply the blood in the basin to the top of the doorframe and the two doorposts. None of you is to go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 Wana Yawe akoleka na mokili mpo na koboma bato ya Ejipito mpe akomona makila na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke, akoleka ekuke yango mpe akopesa nzela te na mobomi ete akota na bandako na bino mpo na koboma.
For Yahweh will pass through to attack the Egyptians. When he sees the blood on the top of the doorframe and on the two doorposts, he will pass over your door and not permit the destroyer to come into your houses to attack you.
24 Bokotosa malako oyo lokola mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakitani na bino.
You must observe this event. This will always be a law for you and your descendants.
25 Tango bokokota na mokili oyo Yawe akopesa bino ndenge alakaki, bosalela likambo oyo.
When you enter the land that Yahweh will give you, just as he has promised to do, you must observe this act of worship.
26 Bongo tango bana na bino bakotuna bino: ‹ Molulu oyo elakisi nini mpo na bino? ›
When your children ask you, 'What does this act of worship mean?'
27 Bokoloba na bango: ‹ Ezali mbeka ya feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe oyo alekaki bandako ya bana ya Isalaele kati na Ejipito mpe abikisaki bandako na biso tango abomaki bato ya Ejipito. › » Na bongo, bana ya Isalaele bafukamaki mpe bagumbamelaki Yawe.
then you must say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, because Yahweh passed over the Israelites' houses in Egypt when he attacked the Egyptians. He set our households free.'” Then the people bowed down and worshiped Yahweh.
28 Bato ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize mpe Aron.
The Israelites went and did exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29 Na kati-kati ya butu, Yawe abomaki bana mibali nyonso ya liboso kati na Ejipito kobanda na mwana mobali ya liboso ya Faraon oyo azalaki kokonza na kiti ya bokonzi kino na mwana mobali ya liboso ya mokangami oyo azalaki kati na boloko, mpe bana mibali ya liboso ya bibwele nyonso.
It happened at midnight that Yahweh attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the person in prison and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Na butu wana, Faraon elongo na bakalaka na ye nyonso mpe bato nyonso ya Ejipito batelemaki; mpe koganga makasi ezalaki na Ejipito, pamba te ezalaki na ndako moko te oyo ezangaki ebembe.
Pharaoh got up in the night—he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians. There was loud lamenting in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.
31 Kaka na butu wana, Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: « Botelema, bobima kati na bato na ngai, bino mpe bana ya Isalaele. Bokende kogumbamela Yawe ndenge bosengaki.
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron in the night and said, “Get up, get out from among my people, you and the Israelites. Go, worship Yahweh, as you have said you wanted to do.
32 Bokamata bibwele na bino ndenge bolobaki: bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba; mpe bokende. Boye, bopambola mpe ngai. »
Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and also bless me.”
33 Bato ya Ejipito batindikaki bana ya Isalaele ete babima noki na mokili na bango. Bazalaki koloba: « Bokende na bino, noki te biso tokokufa. »
The Egyptians were in a great hurry to send them out of the land, for they said, “We will all die.”
34 Boye bato bazwaki potopoto na bango ya farine liboso ete batia yango levire, bazingaki na banzambala na bango banzungu oyo basalelaka potopoto mpe batiaki yango na mapeka na bango.
So the people took their dough without adding any yeast. Their kneading bowls were already tied up in their clothes and on their shoulders.
35 Bato ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge Moyize alobaki na bango mpe basengaki epai ya bato ya Ejipito biloko ya palata, ya wolo mpe bilamba.
Now the people of Israel did as Moses told them. They asked the Egyptians for articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.
36 Bongo Yawe asalaki ete bana ya Isalaele bazwa ngolu na miso ya bato ya Ejipito oyo bapesaki bango biloko oyo basengaki. Na ndenge wana nde basilisaki biloko ya bato ya Ejipito.
Yahweh made the Egyptians eager to please the Israelites. So the Egyptians gave them whatever they asked for. In this way, the Israelites plundered the Egyptians.
37 Bato ya Isalaele balongwaki na Ramisesi mpe bakendeki na Sukoti; bazalaki mibali nkoto nkama motoba oyo bazalaki kotambola na makolo longola basi mpe bana.
The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. They numbered about 600,000 men on foot, in addition to the women and children.
38 Ezalaki lisusu na ebele ya bato oyo bakendeki na bango elongo; bamemaki lisusu bibwele: bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe.
A mixed multitude also went with them, together with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock.
39 Basalaki na farine oyo bamemaki wuta na Ejipito bagato ezanga levire, pamba te tango babenganaki bango, potopoto emivimbelaki te mpe bazangaki tango ya kobongisa biloko ya kolia mpo na bango moko.
They baked bread without yeast in the dough that they brought from Egypt. It was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and could not delay to prepare food.
40 Mibu oyo bana ya Isalaele bavandaki na Ejipito ezalaki nkama minei na tuku misato.
The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.
41 Na suka ya mobu oyo ya nkama minei na tuku misato, mampinga nyonso ya Yawe batikaki Ejipito.
At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all of Yahweh's armed groups went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Lokola Yawe akengelaki butu wana mpo na kobimisa bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito, butu yango ekomi ya Yawe: ekobanda kozala butu ya kokengela mpo na bana ya Isalaele na milongo na bango nyonso oyo ekoya.
This was a night to stay awake, for Yahweh to bring them out from the land of Egypt. This was Yahweh's night to be observed by all the Israelites throughout their people's generations.
43 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron: « Tala mibeko na tina na Pasika: ‹ Mopaya moko te akoki kolia yango.
Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Here is the rule for the Passover: No foreigner may share in eating it.
44 Kasi mowumbu nyonso oyo bakosomba, basengeli liboso kokata ye ngenga, sima nde akoki kolia Pasika.
However, every Israelite's slave, bought with money, may eat it after you have circumcised him.
45 Mopaya oyo akozala na bino mpo na tango moke mpe mosali oyo azwaka lifuti bakolia yango te.
Foreigners and hired servants must not eat any of the food.
46 Ekoliama kaka kati na ndako moko na moko, bakobimisa ata mosuni moko te na libanda ya ndako mpe bakobuka ata mokuwa na yango moko te.
The food must be eaten in one house. You must not carry any of the meat out of the house, and you must not break any bone of it.
47 Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ekosala feti ya Pasika.
All the community of Israel must observe the festival.
48 Soki mopaya oyo azali kati na bino alingi kosepela na feti ya Pasika ya Yawe, esengeli ete mibali nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako na ye bakatama ngenga; bongo nde akozwa nzela ya kolia Pasika lokola mwana mboka ya Isalaele. Kasi mobali oyo akokatama ngenga te akoki kolia Pasika te.
If a foreigner lives with you and wants to observe the Passover to Yahweh, all his male relatives must be circumcised. Then he may come and observe it. He will become like the people who were born in the land. However, no uncircumcised person may eat any of the food.
49 Mibeko ezali se ndenge moko mpo na mwana mboka ya Isalaele mpe mpo na mopaya oyo azali kati na bino. › »
This same law will apply to both the native born and to the foreigner who lives among you.”
50 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize mpe Aron.
So all the Israelites did exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 Mpe na mokolo wana, Yawe abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na molongo, wuta na Ejipito, lokola mampinga ya basoda.
It came about that very day that Yahweh brought Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armed groups.
