Kutoka 12
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni katika nchi ya Misri,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Mwezi huu utakuwa mwanzo wa miezi kwenu, yaani mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wenu.
This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you amongst the months of the year.
3 Iambie jumuiya yote ya Israeli kwamba katika siku ya kumi ya mwezi huu, kila mtu atatwaa mwana-kondoo mmoja kwa ajili ya familia yake, mmoja kwa kila nyumba.
Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.
4 Ikiwa nyumba yoyote ina watu wachache wasioweza kumaliza huyo mwana-kondoo mzima, nyumba hiyo itabidi ishirikiane na nyumba ya jirani wa karibu, baada ya kuzingatia idadi ya watu waliomo. Mtaangalia ni kiasi gani cha nyama kitahitajika kulingana na mahitaji ya kila mtu.
And if they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbour that lives near to him, —as to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him shall make a reckoning for the lamb.
5 Wanyama mtakaowachagua, lazima wawe wa kiume wa umri wa mwaka mmoja wasiokuwa na dosari, mwaweza kuwachukua kati ya kondoo au mbuzi.
It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: you shall take it of the lambs and the kids.
6 Tunzeni wanyama hao mpaka siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi, ambapo lazima watu wa jumuiya yote ya Israeli wachinje wanyama hao wakati wa jioni.
And it shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it towards evening.
7 Ndipo watakapochukua baadhi ya hiyo damu na kuipaka kwenye vizingiti vya juu na miimo ya milango ya nyumba ambamo watakula wana-kondoo hao.
And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two door-posts, and on the lintel, in the houses in which soever they shall eat them.
8 Usiku huo huo watakula nyama iliyookwa kwenye moto, pamoja na mboga chungu za majani na mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
And they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall eat unleavened [bread] with bitter herbs.
9 Msile nyama mbichi wala iliyochemshwa, lakini iwe imeokwa kwenye moto, kichwa, miguu na nyama zake za ndani.
You shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
10 Msibakize nyama yoyote mpaka asubuhi; nazo kama zitabakia mpaka asubuhi, lazima mziteketeze kwa moto.
Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it you shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 Hivi ndivyo mtakavyokula: Mtajifunga mikanda viunoni, mtakuwa mmevaa viatu vyenu miguuni na kushika fimbo zenu mkononi mwenu. Mle kwa haraka; hii ni Pasaka ya Bwana.
And thus shall you eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staves in your hands, and you shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
12 “Usiku huo huo nitapita katika nchi yote ya Misri na kumuua kila mzaliwa wa kwanza, wa wanadamu na wa wanyama, nami nitaihukumu miungu yote ya Misri. Mimi ndimi Bwana.
and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord.
13 Damu itakuwa ishara kwa ajili yenu ya kuonyesha nyumba ambazo mtakuwamo; nami nitakapoiona damu, nitapita juu yenu. Hakuna pigo la uharibifu litakalowagusa ninyi nitakapoipiga Misri.
And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I strike in the land of Egypt.
14 “Siku hii itakuwa kumbukumbu kwenu, mtaiadhimisha kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana, katika vizazi vyenu vyote: mtaishika kuwa amri ya kudumu.
And this day shall be to you a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; you shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.
15 Kwa siku saba mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu. Katika siku ya kwanza mtaondoa chachu yote ndani ya nyumba zenu, kwa maana yeyote atakayekula chochote chenye chachu kuanzia siku ya kwanza hadi ya saba lazima akatiliwe mbali kutoka Israeli.
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day you shall utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.
16 Katika siku ya kwanza mtakuwa na kusanyiko takatifu, na kusanyiko jingine katika siku ya saba. Katika siku hizo msifanye kazi kamwe isipokuwa kutayarisha chakula cha kila mmoja; hilo ndilo tu mtakalofanya.
And the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work on them, only as many things as will [necessarily] be done by every soul, this only shall be done by you.
17 “Mtaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, kwa sababu hiyo ndiyo siku ile niliyovitoa vikosi vyenu kutoka Misri. Mtaiadhimisha siku hii kwa vizazi vyenu vyote kuwa amri ya kudumu.
And you shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and you shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.
18 Katika mwezi wa kwanza mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, kuanzia jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne hadi jioni ya siku ya ishirini na moja.
Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, you shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.
19 Kwa muda wa siku saba isionekane chachu yoyote katika nyumba zenu. Yeyote alaye chochote chenye chachu ndani yake, lazima akatiliwe mbali kutoka jumuiya ya Israeli, akiwa ni mgeni au mzawa.
Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both amongst the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.
20 Msile chochote kilichotiwa chachu. Popote muishipo, ni lazima mle mikate isiyotiwa chachu.”
You shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your you shall eat unleavened bread.
21 Ndipo Mose akawaita wazee wote wa Israeli na kuwaambia, “Nendeni mara moja mkachague wanyama kwa ajili ya jamaa zenu, mkachinje mwana-kondoo wa Pasaka.
And Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, Go away and take to yourselves a lamb according to your kindred, and kill the passover.
22 Chukueni kitawi cha hisopo, kichovyeni kwenye damu iliyopo kwenye sinia na kuipaka baadhi ya hiyo damu kwenye vizingiti na kwenye miimo yote miwili ya milango. Mtu yeyote asitoke nje ya mlango wa nyumba yake mpaka asubuhi.
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, you shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but you shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.
23 Bwana apitapo katika nchi yote kuwapiga Wamisri, ataiona damu juu ya vizingiti na kwenye miimo ya milango, naye atapita juu, wala hatamruhusu mwangamizi kuingia katika nyumba zenu na kuwapiga ninyi.
And the Lord shall pass by to strike the Egyptians, and shall see the blood upon the lintel, and upon both the door-posts; and the Lord shall pass by the door, and shall not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to strike [you].
24 “Shikeni maagizo haya yawe kanuni ya kudumu kwenu na kwa ajili ya wazao wenu.
And keep you this thing as an ordinance for yourself and for your children for ever.
25 Mtakapoingia katika nchi Bwana atakayowapa kama alivyoahidi, shikeni desturi hii.
And if you should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.
26 Watoto wenu watakapowauliza, ‘Sikukuu hii ina maana gani kwenu?’
And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
27 Basi waambieni, ‘Hii ni dhabihu ya Pasaka kwa Bwana, ambaye alipita juu ya nyumba za Waisraeli katika nchi ya Misri na hakudhuru nyumba zetu alipowapiga Wamisri.’” Ndipo watu wa Israeli waliposujudu na kuabudu.
that you shall say to them, This passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as he defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
28 Waisraeli wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
And the people bowed and worshipped. And the children of Israel departed and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 Ilipofika usiku wa manane, Bwana akawapiga wazaliwa wa kwanza wote katika Misri, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Farao, mrithi wa kiti cha ufalme, hadi mzaliwa wa kwanza wa mfungwa, aliyekuwa gerezani, na wazaliwa wa kwanza wa mifugo yote pia.
And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao that sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all cattle.
30 Farao, na maafisa wake wote, na Wamisri wote wakaamka usiku, na kulikuwa na kilio kikubwa katika nchi ya Misri, kwa kuwa haikuwepo nyumba ambayo hakufa mtu.
And Pharao rose up by night, and his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in all the land of Egypt, for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31 Wakati huo Farao akawaita Mose na Aroni na kuwaambia, “Ondokeni! Tokeni kwa watu wangu, ninyi pamoja na Waisraeli! Nendeni mkamwabudu Bwana kama mlivyoomba.
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both you and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as you say.
32 Chukueni makundi yenu ya kondoo na mbuzi pamoja na ngʼombe, kama mlivyosema, nanyi mwende zenu. Nanyi pia mnibariki.”
And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
33 Wamisri wakawahimiza Waisraeli waondoke kwa haraka na kuacha nchi yao. Kwa kuwa walisema, “La sivyo, tutakufa wote!”
And the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.
34 Hivyo watu wakachukua donge lao la unga kabla ya kutiwa chachu, wakaweka ndani ya mabakuli ya kukandia, wakayaviringisha katika vitambaa na kuyabeba mabegani mwao.
And the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up [as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.
35 Waisraeli wakafanya kama Mose alivyowaelekeza, nao wakawaomba Wamisri wawapatie vitu vya fedha, dhahabu na nguo.
And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.
36 Basi Bwana alikuwa amewafanya Wamisri kuwa wakarimu kwa hawa watu, wakawapatia Waisraeli vile walivyotaka kwao; kwa hiyo wakawateka nyara Wamisri.
And the Lord gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Waisraeli wakasafiri kutoka Ramesesi mpaka Sukothi. Walikuwepo wanaume wapatao 600,000 waendao kwa miguu bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
And the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
38 Watu wengine wengi wakafuatana nao, pamoja na makundi makubwa ya mifugo wakiwemo kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe.
And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.
39 Wakatengeneza maandazi yasiyotiwa chachu kwa ule unga uliokandwa waliokuwa wameutoa Misri, donge hilo la unga halikuwa limetiwa chachu, kwa kuwa walikuwa wameondolewa Misri kwa haraka nao hawakuwa na muda wa kuandaa chakula chao.
And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it had not been leavened; for the Egyptians cast them out, and they could not remain, neither did they prepare provision for themselves for the journey.
40 Waisraeli walikuwa wameishi Misri kwa muda wa miaka 430.
And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
41 Ilikuwa ni siku ya mwisho ya hiyo miaka 430, vikosi vyote vya Bwana vilipokuwa vimeondoka Misri.
And it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night.
42 Kwa sababu Bwana aliutenga usiku ule ili kuwatoa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Misri, katika usiku huu Waisraeli wote wanapaswa kuadhimisha kwa kukesha ili kumheshimu Bwana katika vizazi vijavyo.
It is a watch kept to the Lord, so that he should bring them out of the land of Egypt; that very night is a watch kept to the Lord, so that it should be to all the children of Israel to their generations.
43 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni, “Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya Pasaka: “Mgeni hataruhusiwa kula Pasaka.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no stranger shall eat of it.
44 Mtumwa yeyote ambaye mmemnunua aweza kuila kama mmemtahiri,
And every slave or servant bought with money—him you shall circumcise, and then shall he eat of it.
45 lakini kibarua yeyote au msafiri haruhusiwi kula.
A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.
46 “Sharti iliwe ndani ya nyumba; msichukue nyama yoyote nje ya nyumba hiyo. Msiuvunje mfupa wowote.
In one house shall it be eaten, and you shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it you shall not break.
47 Jumuiya yote ya Israeli ni lazima waiadhimishe Pasaka hiyo.
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
48 “Mgeni aishiye miongoni mwenu ambaye anataka kuadhimisha Pasaka ya Bwana ni lazima wanaume wote waliomo nyumbani mwake wawe wametahiriwa, ndipo aweze kushiriki kama mzawa. Mwanaume yeyote asiyetahiriwa haruhusiwi kuila.
And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, you shall circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 Sheria iyo hiyo itamuhusu mzawa na mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu.”
There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming amongst you.
50 Waisraeli wote walifanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.
51 Siku ile ile Bwana akawatoa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Misri kwa vikosi vyao.
And it came to pass in that day that the Lord brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt with their forces.
