< Exodus 12 >

1 Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me there in Egypt,
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te whenua o Ihipa, i mea,
2 “[From now on], this month [will be] the first month of the year for you.
Ko tenei marama hei marama timatanga ki a koutou: hei timatanga tenei mo nga marama o to koutou tau.
3 Tell all the Israeli people that in each family, the man who heads the family must select a lamb or a young goat for his household.
Korero ki te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira, mea atu, Hei te tekau o nga ra o tenei marama, me tango he reme ma ratou e tenei, e tenei, kia rite ki nga whare o nga matua, he whare, he reme:
4 If there are not enough people in his family to eat a whole [cooked] lamb, then his family and the family that lives next door may share one animal. Decide how many lambs you need according to the number of people in each family, and according to how much each person can eat.
A, ki te tokoouou te whare mo te reme, ma raua ko tona hoa noho tata ki tona whare e tango, kia rite ki te tokomaha o nga tangata; whakaritea te tokomaha o nga tangata mo te reme ki te kai a tenei, a tenei.
5 The lambs or goats that you choose must be males, one-year-old, and they must not have any defects.
Kei whai koha ta koutou reme, hei te toa, hei te tautahi; tangohia mai i nga hipi, i nga koati ranei:
6 You must take [special] care of these animals until the 14th day of the month. On that day, all the Israeli people must slaughter the lambs [or goats] in the evening.
A me tiaki e koutou taea noatia te tekau ma wha o nga ra o tenei marama: a ma te huihui katoa o to Iharaira whakaminenga e patu i te ahiahi.
7 Then they must take some of the blood [from the lambs or goats], and they must smear it on the doorposts and the (lintels/horizontal beams above the doorways) of the houses in which they will eat the meat.
A me tango e ratou tetahi wahi o nga toto, ka ta atu ai ki nga pou e rua, ki te korupe hoki o te tatau o nga whare e kainga ai tena mea e ratou.
8 They must roast the animals immediately and eat the meat that night. They must eat it with bread that is baked without yeast and with bitter herbs.
A me kai te kikokiko i taua po ano, he mea tunu ki te ahi, he taro rewenakore hoki; he puwha kawa hoki ta ratou e kinaki ai ki taua mea.
9 You must not eat any of the meat raw, and you must not boil the meat. You must roast it [whole], without cutting off the head or the legs or removing the internal parts.
Kaua tetahi wahi e kainga matatia, he mea kohua ranei ki te wai, engari kia tunua ki te ahi; ko tona pane, ko ona waewae, me ona whekau.
10 You must eat all the meat that evening; do not let any of the meat remain [to be eaten] the next morning. If any of the meat is left until the next morning, you must [completely] burn it.
Kaua hoki e whakatoea tetahi wahi ona ki te ata; a, ko te wahi ona e toe ki te ata, tahuna ki te ahi.
11 When you eat it, you must be dressed ready to travel, and you must eat it quickly. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hands. It will be a festival [called] Passover to [honor] me, Yahweh.
A me penei ta koutou kai i taua mea; kia whitikiria o koutou hope, hei o koutou waewae o koutou hu, ko a koutou tokotoko hoki ki o koutou ringaringa; kia hohoro hoki te kai: ko te kapenga hoki a Ihowa tena.
12 On that night I will go through all the country of Egypt, and I will kill all the oldest males in Egypt, both humans and animals. [By doing this] I will show that all the gods in Egypt are worthless. [I can do this], because I am Yahweh, [the all-powerful God].
Ta te mea ka tika ahau ra waenganui o te whenua o Ihipa i taua po, ka patu hoki i nga matamua katoa i te whenua o Ihipa, i te tangata a tae iho ana ki te kararehe; a ka puta aku whakawa ki nga atua katoa o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau.
13 The blood [that you smear on the doorways will be a mark to indicate] the houses in which you [Israelis] live. When I see the blood, I will [ignore and] pass by those houses, and I will not harm you [Israelis who live there], when I punish the Egyptians.
A hei tohu mo koutou te toto i nga whare e noho ai koutou; a, ka kite ahau i te toto, ka kape ahau i a koutou, e kore ano hoki te whiu e pa ki a koutou hei whakamate, ina patu ahau i te whenua o Ihipa.
14 [Each year], you must celebrate this festival on this day, to remember [what I], Yahweh, [have done for you]. In all the generations to come, [each year] you must celebrate [this festival]. [It must continue] forever.
A, hei whakamaharatanga mo koutou tenei ra; hei konei koutou tuku ai i te hakari ki a Ihowa, tuku iho ki o koutou whakatupuranga; ko te ture tenei ake nei, ake nei, kia hakaritia e koutou tenei ra.
15 For seven days you must eat bread that has no yeast in it. On the first day of that week you must get rid of all the yeast that is in your houses. During those seven days, if anyone eats bread that is baked with yeast in it, [you must consider] that person to be no longer an Israeli.
E whitu nga ra e kai ai koutou i te taro rewenakore; hei te ra tuatahi ano ka whakakorea ai te rewena o o koutou whare; ta te mea ki te kai tetahi i te taro rewena i te ra tuatahi, a taea noatia te whitu o nga ra, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i ro to i a Iharaira.
16 On the first day [of that week], you must (have a holy meeting/gather together to [worship] me). You must do the same thing on the seventh day. People must not work on those two days. The only work they may do is to prepare food for you to eat.
Hei te ra tuatahi hoki he huihuinga tapu, hei te ra tuawhitu hoki he huihuinga tapu mo koutou; kaua tetahi mahi e mahia i aua ra; heoi ano ko te kai ma tenei, ma tenei, ta koutou e raweke ai.
17 [Every year] you must keep celebrating this festival of eating bread that has no yeast in it, because it will remind you that it was on this day that I brought all your tribal groups out of Egypt. So [every year], in all the generations to come, you must celebrate this day as a festival. It must continue forever.
Kia mau hoki ki te hakari o te taro rewenakore; no te mea, no tenei rangi pu ano i whakaputaina ai e ahau o koutou ropu i te whenua o Ihipa: mo konei, kia mau ki tenei ra, i o koutou whakatupuranga; hei tikanga tenei ake ake.
18 In the first month of the year, on the 14th day of that month, the only bread you may eat is bread that has no yeast in it. You must keep doing that each day until the 21st day of that month. For those seven days you must not have any yeast in your house. [During that time], if anyone, either an Israeli or a foreigner, eats bread made with yeast, you must consider that person no longer to be an Israeli.
Hei te marama tuatahi, hei te kotahi tekau ma wha o nga ra, i te ahiahi, ka kai koutou i te taro rewenakore, a tae noa ki te rua tekau ma tahi o nga ra o te marama, i te ahiahi.
Kaua he rewena e kitea ki o koutou whare i nga ra e whitu; ta te mea ki te kai tetahi i te mea kua rewenatia, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui o Iharaira, ahakoa tangata ke, ahakoa tangata whenua ranei.
20 In your houses, do not eat anything that has yeast in it during those seven days.”
Kaua e kainga tetahi mea kua rewenatia; hei te taro rewenakore he kai ma koutou i o koutou nohoanga katoa.
21 Then Moses/I summoned all the leaders of the Israeli people. He/I said to them, “Each family should select a lamb and kill it, [in order that you may eat it to celebrate the festival that will be called] ‘Passover’.
Na ka karanga a Mohi ki nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, Tikina, tangohia mai ma koutou he reme, kia rite ki o koutou whanau, patua hoki te kapenga.
22 Let the lamb’s blood [drain into] a basin. Get a bunch/sprig of (hyssop/a very leafy plant) and dip it in the blood. Then smear some of the blood on the doorposts and the (lintels/beams above the doorways) [of your houses]. The people in each house must all stay inside the house until the next morning.
A tangohia he paihere hihopa, ka tuku ki te toto i te peihana, na ka tata atu i te korupe me nga pou e rua ki te toto i te peihana; kaua hoki tetahi o koutou e puta ki waho o te kuwaha o tona whare, a taea noatia te ata.
23 When Yahweh goes throughout Egypt to kill the [oldest male in each] Egyptian family, he will see the blood on the (lintels/beams of your doorways), and he will [ignore and] pass by those houses. He will not allow the angel who causes people to die to enter your houses and kill [any of] your [oldest sons].
He mea hoki, ka haere atu a Ihowa ki te patu i nga Ihipiana; a, ka kite ia i te toto i te korupe, i nga pou e rua hoki, ka kapea e Ihowa te kuwaha, e kore hoki e tukua e ia te kaiwhakamate kia haere ki roto ki o koutou whare patu ai.
24 You and your descendants must celebrate this festival forever.
Kia mau hoki ki tenei mea, hei ture mou, mo au tamariki, ake ake.
25 And when you arrive in the land that Yahweh will be giving to you as he promised, you must keep celebrating this ritual [every year].
A, tenei ake, a te wa e tae ai koutou ki te whenua e homai e Ihowa ki a koutou, ki tana i korero ai, na kia mau ki tenei mahi.
26 When your children ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean?’,
A, tenei ake, ki te mea a koutou tamariki ki a koutou, He aha tenei e mahia nei e koutou?
27 you must tell them, ‘This ritual is [to remember how our ancestors] sacrificed [lambs] on the night that Yahweh’s angel passed by the houses of the Israeli people [when they were] in Egypt. He killed the [oldest males/sons in all] the Egyptian houses, but he spared [the sons in] [MTY] our houses.’” After Moses/I told them this, they all bowed their heads and worshiped [Yahweh].
Na ka mea atu, Ko te patunga ra i ta Ihowa kapenga, nana ra i kape nga whare o nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa, i a ia i patu ai i nga Ihipiana, a whakaorangia ake o matou whare. Na tuohu ana te iwi, koropiko ana.
28 Then the Israeli people did what Yahweh had told Aaron and Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira, a mea ana i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, pera ana ratou.
29 At midnight Yahweh killed all the oldest sons of the Egyptian people, all over Egypt. That included the king’s oldest son, the oldest sons of the prisoners in the dungeon/jail, and [the oldest sons of everyone else]. He also killed the oldest males of all the Egyptians’ livestock.
Nawai a, ka waenganui po, na, patu ana e Ihowa nga matamua katoa i te whenua o Ihipa, te matamua a Parao e noho ana i runga i tona torona, a tae iho ana ki te matamua a te herehere i roto i te whare herehere; me nga matamua katoa a te kararehe.
30 That night the king, all his officials, and [all the rest of] the Egyptian people awoke [and discovered what had happened]. They wailed loudly all over Egypt, because in every house, someone’s son had died.
Na ka maranga ake a Parao i te po, ratou ko ana tangata katoa, ko nga Ihipiana katoa; na, he nui te tangi i Ihipa; kahore hoki he whare i kore te tupapaku.
31 That night the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You and all the [other] Israeli people, must leave my country [immediately]! Go and worship Yahweh, as you requested!
Na ka karanga ia ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te po, a ka mea, Whakatika, haere atu i roto i toku iwi, koutou ko nga tama a Iharaira; haere ki te mahi ki a Ihowa, ki te pera me ta koutou i ki ai.
32 Take your flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], and leave! And ask Yahweh to bless me, also!”
Tangohia hoki a koutou hipi, a koutou kau hoki, a koutou i ki ai, a haere atu; me manaaki ano hoki i ahau.
33 Then the Israeli people did as Moses/I had told them. They [went to] their Egyptian [neighbors] and asked them for silver and gold jewelry and clothing.
A akiaki ana nga Ihipiana ki te iwi, kia tonoa wawetia atu ai ratou i te whenua; i mea hoki ratou, Ka mate katoa tatou.
34 Yahweh caused the Egyptian people to greatly respect the [Israeli] people, so they gave them what they asked for. In that way, they carried away the wealth of the Egyptian people.
A maua atu ana e te iwi ta ratou paraoa pokepoke, i te mea kahore ano i rewenatia noatia, he mea takai a ratou pokepokenga paraoa ki o ratou kakahu, na kei o ratou pokohiwi.
35 The Egyptians urged the [Israeli] people to leave their country quickly. They said, “[If you do not do that], we will all die!”
Na ka pera nga tama a Iharaira me ta Mohi i ki ai; na, kei te tono mea hiriwa, mea koura, kakahu, i nga Ihipiana:
36 So the [Israeli] people [prepared to leave at once]. They took the bowls in which they mixed the dough to make bread, and the dough that was in the bowls without any yeast in it, and they wrapped the bowls in their cloaks. They put the bowls on their shoulders [and left].
A na Ihowa i mea kia paingia te iwi e nga Ihipiana, a homai ana e ratou: a pahuatia ana e ratou nga Ihipiana.
37 The Israeli people traveled from Rameses [city] to Succoth [town]. There were about 600,000 men who went, in addition to the women and children.
Na ka turia mai e nga tama a Iharaira i Ramehehe ki Hukota, tata tonu nga tane ki nga mano e ono rau, he mea haere i raro, haunga nga tamariki.
38 Many other people who were not Israelis went along with them. There were also livestock, the flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle].
He nui te whakauru i haere i a ratou; me te hipi, me te kau, he tini ke te kararehe.
39 On their way, they baked bread with the dough that they carried with them when they had been expelled from Egypt. The dough did not have yeast in it, because they were told to leave Egypt so quickly that they did not have enough time to get food ready to take with them, or enough time to mix yeast in the dough.
A tunua iho e ratou etahi taro rewenakore i te paraoa pokepoke i maua atu e ratou i Ihipa, kahore hoki i rewenatia; no te mea hoki i peia ratou i Ihipa, kihai hoki i ahei te noho iho, kihai hoki ratou i taka i te o mo ratou.
40 The Israeli people had lived in Egypt 430 years.
Na, ko te nohoanga o nga tama a Iharaira, i noho ra ki Ihipa, e wha rau e toru tekau nga tau.
41 On the day that those 430 years ended, on that very day, all the tribes of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
A i te mutunga o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau, i taua ra pu ano, na, ka puta nga mano katoa o Ihowa i te whenua o Ihipa.
42 It was a night when Yahweh (protected/guarded over) them as he brought them out of Egypt. So this same night every year is a night that is dedicated to Yahweh, a night when the Israeli people in every generation [remember how] Yahweh protected our ancestors.
Ka maharatia taua po nei, hei mea ki a Ihowa, mo to ratou whakaputanga i te whenua o Ihipa: ko taua po tenei o Ihowa hei maharatanga ma nga tama katoa a Iharaira, i o ratou whakatupuranga.
43 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me: “These are my instructions about the Passover ritual: Do not let foreigners eat [the Passover meal]. But any male slaves that you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised them.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Ko te tikanga tenei mo te kapenga: Kaua tetahi tangata ke e kai i tena mea;
Engari nga pononga katoa a te tangata i utua ki te moni, kia oti te kokoti e koe, ka kai ai i tena mea.
45 Do not let people who are living among you temporarily, or servants whom you have hired, eat [the Passover meal].
Kaua te manene, te kaimahi ranei, e kai i tena mea.
46 Each family must eat the Passover meal inside their own house. Do not take any of the food outside the house. And do not break any of the bones of the lamb that is sacrificed.
Kia kotahi te whare e kainga ai; kaua e mauria tetahi wahi o te kikokiko ki waho i te whare; kaua hoki e whatiia tetahi wheua ona.
47 All the Israeli people must celebrate this festival.
Ma te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira tena mahi.
48 When someone from another country comes to live with you and wants to celebrate the Passover Festival, circumcise all the males in his household. Then they may eat the Passover meal, and you should treat those people as though they were born as Israelis. But do not allow men who have not been circumcised to eat the Passover meal.
Na, he tangata ke e noho ana i a koe, a ka mahi i te kapenga a Ihowa, kotia ana tane katoa, katahi ka whakatata ai ia ki tena mahi; a ka rite ki te tangata whenua: kei kainga e te kokotikore.
49 These rules apply to people who were born as Israelis and to foreigners who come and live among you.”
Kia kotahi ano te ture mo te tangata whenua raua ko te tangata ke e noho ana i roto i a koutou.
50 All the Israeli people obeyed Aaron and Moses/me and did what Yahweh had commanded.
Na ka pera nga tama katoa a Iharaira me ta Ihowa i ako ai ki a Mohi raua ko Arona; pera ana ratou.
51 On that very day Yahweh brought all the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Na, no taua ra pu ano i whakaputaina mai ai e Ihowa nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa, tenei ropu, tenei ropu o ratou.
