2 Mose 12
1 Bere a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], saying,
2 “Efi nnɛ rekɔ, ɔsram yi bɛyɛ ɔsram a edi kan wɔ Yudafo asranna so.
“This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month Nissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1· 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 to all the congregation of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;
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 is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your 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 defect, a male a year old. You 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 you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel [God prevails] shall kill it at evening.
7 Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra ofi biara apongua ho. Oguamma a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛde yi.
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall 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.
They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, and matzah ·unleavened bread·. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
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.
Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, nea ɛbɛka no, sɛ ade kye so a, monnnwe na mmom monhyew no.
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you 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.
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Adonai’s Pesac ·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!
For I will go through the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both man and animal. Against all the deities of Egypt [Abode of slavery] I will execute judgments: I am Adonai.
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.
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
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.
This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Adonai: throughout all your generations you shall keep it a feast by this regulation forever.
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 you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel [God prevails].
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.
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may 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.
You shall observe the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]: therefore you shall observe this day throughout all your generations by this regulation forever.
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 Nissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1·, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·, until the twenty first day of the month at 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.
There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel [God prevails], whether he be a foreigner, or one who is 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.”
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat matzah ·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.
Then Moses [Drawn out] called for all the elders of Israel [God prevails], and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Pesac ·Passover· lamb.
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.
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin; 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.
For Adonai will pass through to strike the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Adonai will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 “Na monkae sɛ eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefo.
You shall observe this thing for an statute to you and to your sons forever.
25 Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
It shall happen when you have come to the land which Adonai will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, ‘Eyinom nyinaa ase ne dɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa dɛn ho a,
It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean 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 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Adonai’s Pesac ·Passover·, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel [God prevails] in Egypt [Abode of slavery], when he struck the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28 Na Israelfo no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛde no so.
The children of Israel [God prevails] went and did so; as Adonai had enjoined Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer], so they did.
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.
At midnight, Adonai struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of livestock.
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.
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; and there was a great cry in Egypt [Abode of slavery], for there was not a house where 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.
He called for Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel [God prevails]; and go, abad ·serve· Adonai, as you have said!
32 Momfa mo nguan ne mo anantwi na monkɔ. Nanso munhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; 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.”
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] were urgent with 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.
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 Na Israelfo no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinne ne ntade afi Misraimfo no nkyɛn sɛnea Mose kaa se wɔnyɛ no.
The children of Israel [God prevails] did according to the word of Moses [Drawn out]; and they asked of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] jewels of silver, and jewels 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.
Adonai gave the people chen ·grace· in the sight of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].
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.
The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled from Rameses to Sukkot, about six hundred thousand on foot who 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.
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
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.
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]; for it was not leavened, because they were divorced out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 Israelfo no tenaa Misraim mfe ahannan ne aduasa.
Now the time that the children of Israel [God prevails] lived in Egypt [Abode of slavery] was four hundred thirty years.
41 Na da a wodii mfe ahannan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa fii asase no so.
At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Adonai’s armies went out from the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
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 to be much observed to Adonai for bringing them out from the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. This is that night of Adonai, to be much observed of all the children of Israel [God prevails] throughout their generations.
43 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔho biara nnwe oguamma no nam no bi.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer], “This is the regulation of the Pesac ·Passover· lamb. No foreigner 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 servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔho biara nnwe bi.
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of 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.
It must be eaten In one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa di da no.
All the congregation of Israel [God prevails] shall keep 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.
When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Pesac ·Passover· to Adonai, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 Saa mmara yi ka Israelfo ne ahɔho a wɔne mo te no nso.”
One Torah ·Teaching· shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”
50 Enti Israelfo no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
All the children of Israel [God prevails] did so. As Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer], so they did.
51 Da no ara na Awurade yii Israelfo no fii Misraim asase so.
That same day, Adonai brought the children of Israel [God prevails] out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] by their armies.
