< 2 Mose 12 >

1 Bere a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Efi nnɛ rekɔ, ɔsram yi bɛyɛ ɔsram a edi kan wɔ Yudafo asranna so.
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Ka kyerɛ Israelfo nyinaa se, saa ɔsram yi da a ɛto so du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara pɛ oguamma baako de ma nʼabusua. Ɛsɛ sɛ ofi biara nya oguamma no baako.
Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.
4 Sɛ abusua bi mu nnipa sua a wɔrentumi nwe oguamma no a, wotumi ne abusua bi a ɛbɛn wɔn wɔ mpɔtam hɔ a wɔn nso sua kyɛ oguamma no. Aboa no kyɛ wɔ saa kwan no so no gyina abusua no kɛse ne nam dodow a wobetumi awe so.
And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.
5 Ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ nea wadi afe. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ oguan anaa abirekyi a onnii dɛm.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
6 Monhwɛ saa mmoa a moayiyi wɔn yi yiye nkosi ɔsram a edii kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Afei Israel asafo nyinaa nkunkum wɔn nguantenmma no ɔdasu mu.
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
7 Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra ofi biara apongua ho. Oguamma a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛde yi.
And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
8 Anadwo no ara, obiara bɛwe aboa a wɔatoto no no nam no bi. Wɔmfa brodo a wɔamfa mmɔkaw anyɛ ne awɔnwen na enni.
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
9 Wɔnnnoa nam no na wɔnnwe no amono nso, na mmom, wɔntoto aboa mu no nyinaa, a ne ti, nʼanan ne nʼayamde nyinaa ka ho.
Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
10 Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, nea ɛbɛka no, sɛ ade kye so a, monnnwe na mmom monhyew no.
And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 Sɛnea monwe nam no ni: monwe wɔ bere a mo ntade a mode tu kwan hyehyɛ mo. Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔkwan tententwa. Monhyɛ mo mpaboa na momfa mo pema nkurakura. Monwe no ntɛmntɛm. Saa nneyɛe yi, wɔbɛfrɛ no Awurade Twam Afahyɛ.
And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
12 “Na metwa mu afa Misraim asase so anadwo yi na mmabarima a wɔyɛ mmakan ne mmoa mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, mekum wɔn, na mabu anyame a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa atɛn, efisɛ mene Awurade!
And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.
13 Mogya a mode bɛyɛ apongua no ho no bɛyɛ agyiraehyɛde, enti sɛ mihu mogya no a, metwa mu akɔ, na sɛ merekunkum Misraim mmakan a, merenkum mo de bi.
And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Eyi yɛ da a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi; na awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no bedi no sɛ afahyɛ ama Awurade. Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
15 Nnanson no mu, munni brodo a wɔmfaa mmɔkaw mfrae nko ara. Afahyɛ no da a edi kan no, munyiyi mmɔkaw biara mfi mo afi mu. Obiara a saa bere no obebu saa afahyɛ yi mmara yi so no, wobetwa no asu afi Israelman mu.
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day — that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 Afahyɛ no da a edi kan ne ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa bedi da no sɛ da a wɔayi asi hɔ ama nhyiamu kronkron. Na nna no mu, aduannoa akyi no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma foforo biara.
And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person — that only shall be done by you.
17 “Sɛ mudi Apiti Afahyɛ yi a, ɛbɛma mo akae daa sɛ, saa da no na miyii mo fii Misraim asase so. Munni saa dapɔnna yi sɛ daa ahyɛde mfi awo ntoatoaso so nkosi awo ntoatoaso so.
And ye shall keep the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.
18 Ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere kosi ne da a ɛto so aduonu baako so no, brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu nko ara na munni.
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
19 Saa nnanson no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wohu mmɔkaw kakraa bi koraa wɔ mo afi mu. Enti obiara a obedi aduan a mmɔkaw wɔ mu no, wobeyi no afi Israel asafo kuw no mu. Saa mmara yi ka ananafo a wɔne mo te ne wɔn a wofi ɔman no mu no nyinaa nso.
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened — that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
20 Miti mu sɛ, saa nna no mu, munnni biribiara a wɔde mmɔkaw afra mu; munni brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu.”
Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 Na Mose frɛɛ Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔkyekyere oguamma anaa abirekyi ba mma abusua biara, na munkum no sɛ Twam Afahyɛ aboa.
And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.
22 Muntwa oguan no mogya ngu kuruwa bi mu. Momfa adwerɛ mmɔ mogya no mu na momfa mpete apongua no atifi ne apongua abien a aka no ho sɛnea mogya no bɛda ho. Muwie a, mo mu biara mmfi nkɔ abɔnten saa anadwo no.
And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 Awurade betwa mu afa asase yi so akunkum Misraimfo. Na sɛ ohu sɛ mogya wɔ apongua no atifi ne apongua abien no ho a, obetwa saa ofi no ho akɔ a ɔremma ɔsɛefo no nwura hɔ nkunkum mo mmakan.
And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite [you].
24 “Na monkae sɛ eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefo.
And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
25 Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, ‘Eyinom nyinaa ase ne dɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa dɛn ho a,
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
27 mummua wɔn se, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre ma Awurade. Otwaa Israelfo afi ho wɔ Misraim. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ okunkum Misraimfo de, nanso ogyaw yɛn mmusua.’” Bere a Mose kasa wiee no, nnipa no nyinaa kotow sɔree.
that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 Na Israelfo no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛde no so.
And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
29 Da no ara anadwo nnɔndumien Awurade kunkum mmarimaa a wɔyɛ abakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, efi Farao babarima panyin so kosi odeduani babarima panyin ne anantwi nso mmakan nyinaa.
And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Afei, Farao ne ne mpanyimfo ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa sɔree anadwo no. Misraiman no nyinaa twaa agyaadwo, efisɛ ofi biara nni hɔ a onipa anwu wɔ mu.
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31 Enti Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron anadwo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mesrɛ mo, mo nyinaa muntu mfi ha. Monkɔsom Awurade sɛnea mokae no.
And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32 Momfa mo nguan ne mo anantwi na monkɔ. Nanso munhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
33 Misraimfo no nyinaa ani beree Israelfo no so pampam wɔn sɛ womfi asase no so ntɛm, efisɛ wɔkae se, “Yebewuwu.”
And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!
34 Israelfo no faa wɔn mmɔre a wɔafɔtɔw a mmɔkaw mfra mu, na wɔde wɔn ntade kyekyeree wɔn mmɔre nnaka de sisii wɔn mmati so.
And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 Na Israelfo no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinne ne ntade afi Misraimfo no nkyɛn sɛnea Mose kaa se wɔnyɛ no.
And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
36 Awurade maa Misraimfo no huu Israelfo no mmɔbɔ enti wɔmaa wɔn wɔn abisade nyinaa. Ɛnam saayɛ so maa Israelfo no twee Misraimfo ahonyade nyinaa kɔe.
And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Anadwo no ara, Israelfo no sii mu fii Rameses kɔɔ Sukot. Na wɔn dodow yɛ nnipa mpem ahansia a wɔnam fam, a mmea ne mmofra de wɔankan wɔn anka ho.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
38 Nnipa ahorow pii bi a wɔnyɛ Israelfo kaa wɔn ho kɔe. Wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi nyinaa kaa wɔn ho.
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds — very much cattle.
39 Woduu baabi a wɔpɛ sɛ wodidi no, wɔde mmɔre a wɔamfa mmɔkaw amfra a wɔde kɔe no bi too brodo dii. Na mmɔkaw nni mu, efisɛ Misraimfo no pam wɔn. Ɛno nti wɔannya kwan anyɛ aduan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so.
And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40 Israelfo no tenaa Misraim mfe ahannan ne aduasa.
And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Na da a wodii mfe ahannan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa fii asase no so.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Saa anadwo no ne bere a Awurade yi too hɔ de gyee ne nkurɔfo fii Misraim asase so. Enti saa anadwo koro no ara na Israelfo no yi de too hɔ sɛ da a Onyankopɔn gyee wɔn no afirihyia da.
It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔho biara nnwe oguamma no nam no bi.
And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;
44 Nanso ɔsomfo biara a wɔtew sika tɔɔ no no, sɛ wɔatwa no twetia de a, otumi we bi.
but every man's bondman that is bought for money — let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
45 Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔho biara nnwe bi.
A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.
46 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe Twam Afahyɛ aboa biara wɔ ofi biara mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe nam no wɔ fie. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde nam no fa biara kɔ abɔnten. Ɛnsɛ sɛ mobɔ dompe biara mu.
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa di da no.
All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.
48 “Ahɔho a mo ne wɔn te no nso, sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wodi Twam Afahyɛ no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa twa twetia ansa na wɔaba ne mo abedi; na ama wɔayɛ sɛnea wɔwoo wɔn too mo mu no.
And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 Saa mmara yi ka Israelfo ne ahɔho a wɔne mo te no nso.”
One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
50 Enti Israelfo no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
51 Da no ara na Awurade yii Israelfo no fii Misraim asase so.
And it came to pass on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
