Kutoka 12
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni katika nchi ya Misri,
Then spake Yahweh, unto Moses and unto 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, to you, a beginning of months, —the first, it is, to you, of 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 ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, a lamb for a 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.
But if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour that is near unto his house take one, according to the number of souls, —each man according to his eating, shall ye number 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 without defect a male a year old, shall yours be, —from the sheep or from the goats, shall ye take it.
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.
So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month, —then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it between the two 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 shall take of the blood, and put upon the two door-posts and upon the upper-beam, —upon the houses wherein they are to eat it.
8 Usiku huo huo watakula nyama iliyookwa kwenye moto, pamoja na mboga chungu za majani na mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
Then shall they eat the flesh, in the same night, —roast with fire, and with unleavened cakes, with bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
9 Msile nyama mbichi wala iliyochemshwa, lakini iwe imeokwa kwenye moto, kichwa, miguu na nyama zake za ndani.
Do not eat of it underdone, nor cooked by boiling in water, —but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts.
10 Msibakize nyama yoyote mpaka asubuhi; nazo kama zitabakia mpaka asubuhi, lazima mziteketeze kwa moto.
And ye shall let nothing thereof remain until morning, —but that which is left remaining until morning, in the fire shall ye consume.
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 ye eat it, —your loins, girded, your sandals, on your feet, and, your staff, in your hand, —so shall ye eat it in haste, it is Yahweh’s, passing over.
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.
I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, —and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments—I, Yahweh.
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.
Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, —and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Siku hii itakuwa kumbukumbu kwenu, mtaiadhimisha kuwa sikukuu kwa Bwana, katika vizazi vyenu vyote: mtaishika kuwa amri ya kudumu.
So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, —to your generations—as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it.
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, unleavened cakes, shall ye eat, surely, on the first day, shall ye put away leaven, out of your houses, —for whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of Israel, from the first day, unto 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.
Both on the first day, a holy convocation, and on the seventh day—a holy convocation, shall there be to you, —no work, shall be done therein, save only what must be eaten by every soul, that alone, 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.
So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, —so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding,
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, shall ye eat unleavened cakes, —until the one-and-twentieth day of the month in the 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.
For seven days, leaven, shall not be found in your houses, —for, whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of the assembly of Israel, whether sojourner or native of the land.
20 Msile chochote kilichotiwa chachu. Popote muishipo, ni lazima mle mikate isiyotiwa chachu.”
Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, —in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes.
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.
So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, —Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock according to your families, and slay 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.
Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam and the two door-posts, with the blood which is in the basin, —and, ye, shall not go forth any man out of the entrance 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 Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam and upon the two door-posts, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to inflict on you the plague.
24 “Shikeni maagizo haya yawe kanuni ya kudumu kwenu na kwa ajili ya wazao wenu.
And ye shall observe this thing, —for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding.
25 Mtakapoingia katika nchi Bwana atakayowapa kama alivyoahidi, shikeni desturi hii.
And so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, —and ye shall observe this service;
26 Watoto wenu watakapowauliza, ‘Sikukuu hii ina maana gani kwenu?’
and it shall come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, —What is this your 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.
Then shall ye say—A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed-over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians but our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down.
28 Waisraeli wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
And the sons of Israel went their way and did, —as Yahweh had 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 Yahweh, smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the pit of his prison, —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.
Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, —for there was not a house, where 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.
So he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said—Rise ye, go forth out of the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, —and go serve Yahweh according to your word;
32 Chukueni makundi yenu ya kondoo na mbuzi pamoja na ngʼombe, kama mlivyosema, nanyi mwende zenu. Nanyi pia mnibariki.”
also, your flocks and your herds, take ye, as ye spake and go your way, —so shall ye bless, even me.
33 Wamisri wakawahimiza Waisraeli waondoke kwa haraka na kuacha nchi yao. Kwa kuwa walisema, “La sivyo, tutakufa wote!”
And the Egyptians became urgent with the people, to send them in haste out of the land, —for they said—We all, are dying.
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.
So the people took up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, —with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles on their shoulders,
35 Waisraeli wakafanya kama Mose alivyowaelekeza, nao wakawaomba Wamisri wawapatie vitu vya fedha, dhahabu na nguo.
And the sons of Israel, did according to the word of Moses, —and asked of the Egyptians, articles of silver and articles of gold and mantles.
36 Basi Bwana alikuwa amewafanya Wamisri kuwa wakarimu kwa hawa watu, wakawapatia Waisraeli vile walivyotaka kwao; kwa hiyo wakawateka nyara Wamisri.
And Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, —so they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Waisraeli wakasafiri kutoka Ramesesi mpaka Sukothi. Walikuwepo wanaume wapatao 600,000 waendao kwa miguu bila kuhesabu wanawake na watoto.
Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, —about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.
38 Watu wengine wengi wakafuatana nao, pamoja na makundi makubwa ya mifugo wakiwemo kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe.
Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, —flocks also, and herds, exceeding 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.
Then baked they the dough which they had brought out of Egypt—into round unleavened cakes for it had not been leavened, —for they had been driven out of Egypt and could not tarry, and indeed no provisions, had they made ready for themselves.
40 Waisraeli walikuwa wameishi Misri kwa muda wa miaka 430.
Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, 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 at the end of four hundred and thirty years, yea it came to pass, on this self-same day, that all the hosts of Yahweh had come forth out of 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.
A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, —this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons of Israel to their generations.
43 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni, “Haya ndiyo masharti kwa ajili ya Pasaka: “Mgeni hataruhusiwa kula Pasaka.
And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, —No stranger, shall eat thereof;
44 Mtumwa yeyote ambaye mmemnunua aweza kuila kama mmemtahiri,
but, every man’s servant bought with silver, —when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof:
45 lakini kibarua yeyote au msafiri haruhusiwi kula.
An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof.
46 “Sharti iliwe ndani ya nyumba; msichukue nyama yoyote nje ya nyumba hiyo. Msiuvunje mfupa wowote.
In one house, shall it be eaten, thou shalt not take forth out of the house any of the flesh outside; and a, bone thereof, shalt thou not break.
47 Jumuiya yote ya Israeli ni lazima waiadhimishe Pasaka hiyo.
All the assembly 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 when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, —but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof.
49 Sheria iyo hiyo itamuhusu mzawa na mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu.”
One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst.
50 Waisraeli wote walifanya kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose na Aroni.
Thus did all the sons of Israel, —as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
51 Siku ile ile Bwana akawatoa Waisraeli katika nchi ya Misri kwa vikosi vyao.
And it came to pass, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
