Kutoka 12
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni katika nchi ya Misri,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Mwezi huu utakuwa mwanzo wa miezi kwenu, yaani mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wenu.
“This month [is] the chief of months to you—it [is] the first of the months of the year to you;
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 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 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 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 Wanyama mtakaowachagua, lazima wawe wa kiume wa umri wa mwaka mmoja wasiokuwa na dosari, mwaweza kuwachukua kati ya kondoo au mbuzi.
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 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 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 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 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 Usiku huo huo watakula nyama iliyookwa kwenye moto, pamoja na mboga chungu za majani na mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
And they have eaten the flesh in this night, a roast with fire; they eat it with unleavened things and bitters;
9 Msile nyama mbichi wala iliyochemshwa, lakini iwe imeokwa kwenye moto, kichwa, miguu na nyama zake za ndani.
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 Msibakize nyama yoyote mpaka asubuhi; nazo kama zitabakia mpaka asubuhi, lazima mziteketeze kwa moto.
and you do not leave of it until morning, and that which is remaining of it until morning you 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 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 “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 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 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 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 “Siku hii itakuwa kumbukumbu kwenu, mtaiadhimisha kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana, katika vizazi vyenu vyote: mtaishika kuwa amri ya kudumu.
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 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 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 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 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 “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 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 Katika mwezi wa kwanza mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, kuanzia jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne hadi jioni ya siku ya ishirini na moja.
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 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 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 Msile chochote kilichotiwa chachu. Popote muishipo, ni lazima mle mikate isiyotiwa chachu.”
you do not eat anything fermented—in all your dwellings you eat [only] unleavened things.”
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 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 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 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 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 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 “Shikeni maagizo haya yawe kanuni ya kudumu kwenu na kwa ajili ya wazao wenu.
And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time;
25 Mtakapoingia katika nchi Bwana atakayowapa kama alivyoahidi, shikeni desturi hii.
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 Watoto wenu watakapowauliza, ‘Sikukuu hii ina maana gani kwenu?’
and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have?
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 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 Waisraeli wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
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 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 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 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 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 Wakati huo Farao akawaita Mose na Aroni na kuwaambia, “Ondokeni! Tokeni kwa watu wangu, ninyi pamoja na Waisraeli! Nendeni mkamwabudu Bwana kama mlivyoomba.
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 Chukueni makundi yenu ya kondoo na mbuzi pamoja na ngʼombe, kama mlivyosema, nanyi mwende zenu. Nanyi pia mnibariki.”
take both your flock and your herd as you have spoken, and go; then you have also blessed me.”
33 Wamisri wakawahimiza Waisraeli waondoke kwa haraka na kuacha nchi yao. Kwa kuwa walisema, “La sivyo, tutakufa wote!”
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 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 take up their dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
35 Waisraeli wakafanya kama Mose alivyowaelekeza, nao wakawaomba Wamisri wawapatie vitu vya fedha, dhahabu 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 Basi Bwana alikuwa amewafanya Wamisri kuwa wakarimu kwa hawa watu, wakawapatia Waisraeli vile walivyotaka kwao; kwa hiyo wakawateka nyara Wamisri.
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 Waisraeli wakasafiri kutoka Ramesesi mpaka Sukothi. Walikuwepo wanaume wapatao 600,000 waendao kwa miguu bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
38 Watu wengine wengi wakafuatana nao, pamoja na makundi makubwa ya mifugo wakiwemo kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe.
and a great rabble has also gone up with them, and flock and herd—very much livestock.
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 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 Waisraeli walikuwa wameishi Misri kwa muda wa miaka 430.
And the dwelling of the sons of Israel [in] which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
41 Ilikuwa ni siku ya mwisho ya hiyo miaka 430, vikosi vyote vya Bwana vilipokuwa vimeondoka Misri.
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 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 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 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni, “Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya Pasaka: “Mgeni hataruhusiwa kula Pasaka.
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 Mtumwa yeyote ambaye mmemnunua aweza kuila kama mmemtahiri,
and any man’s servant, the purchase of money, when you have circumcised him—then he eats of it;
45 lakini kibarua yeyote au msafiri haruhusiwi kula.
a settler or hired servant does not eat of it;
46 “Sharti iliwe ndani ya nyumba; msichukue nyama yoyote nje ya nyumba hiyo. Msiuvunje mfupa wowote.
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 Jumuiya yote ya Israeli ni lazima waiadhimishe Pasaka hiyo.
all the congregation of Israel keeps 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 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 Sheria iyo hiyo itamuhusu mzawa na mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu.”
one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.”
50 Waisraeli wote walifanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
And all the sons of Israel do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
51 Siku ile ile Bwana akawatoa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Misri kwa vikosi vyao.
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.
