Kutoka 12
1 Yahweh akasema na Musa na Aruni katika nchi ya Misri. Alisema,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
2 “Kwako wewe, mwezi huu utakuwa mwanzo wa miezi, mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka kwako.
This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first in the months of the year.
3 Liambie kusanyiko la Israeli, 'Siku ya kumi mwezi huu kila mtu lazima achukuwe mwana kondoo au mbuzi mdogo wa kwake, kila familia ifanye hivi, mwana kondoo kwa kila nyumba.
Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day of this month let every man take a lamb by their families and houses.
4 Kama hiyo nyumba ni ndogo sana kwa mwana kondoo, mwanaume na jirani yake wachukuwe mwana kondoo au nyama ya mbuzi mdogo ambayo itatosha watu. Lazima iwe yatosha kwa kila mtu kula, kwaiyo lazima wachukuwe nyama ya kutosha kulisha wote.
But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb, he shall take unto him his neighbour that joineth to his house, according to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb.
5 Mwana kondoo wako au mbuzi wako mdogo lazima asiwe na upungufu, dume mwenye mwaka mmoja. Unaweza kuchukuwa mmoja wa kondoo au mbuzi.
And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year: according to which rite also you shall take a kid.
6 Lazima umtunze mpaka siku ya kumi na nne ya huo mwezi. Kisha kusanyiko lote la Israeli lazima liwaue hawa wanyama jioni.
And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month: and the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in the evening.
7 Lazima uchukuwe baadhi ya damu na uweke kwenye sehemu mbili za mihimili ya milango na juu ya fremu za milango ambapo utalia hizo nyama.
And they shall take of the blood thereof, and put it upon both the side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 Lazima ule hizo nyama usiku, baada ya kuchoma kwenye moto. Kula na mkate ulio andaliwa kwa hamira, pamoja na mimea michungu.
And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire, and unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
9 Usiile mbichi au imechemshwa kwenye maji. Badala yake, choma kwenye moto na kichwa chake, miguu na sehemu za ndani.
You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted at the fire: you shall eat the head with the feet and entrails thereof.
10 Usiache ata kidogo kubaki mpaka asubui. Lazima uchome chochote kilicho baki asubui.
Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If there be any thing left, you shall burn it with fire.
11 Hivi ndivyo wa paswa kula: ukiwa umefunga mkanda wako, umevaa viatu vyako, na gongo lako mkononi mwako. Lazima ule kwa haraka. Ni Pasaka ya Yahweh.
And thus you shall eat it: you shall gird your reins, and you shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you shall eat in haste: for it is the Phase (that is the Passage) of the Lord.
12 Yahweh anasema hili: Nitaenda katika nchi ya Misri usiku na kushambulia wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa wanadamu na wanyama katika nchi ya Misri. Nitaleta pigo kwa miungu yote ya Misri. Mimi ni Yahweh.
And I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and will kill every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast: and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
13 Damu itakuwa ishara kwenye nyumba zenu ya kuja kwangu. Nitakapo ona damu, nitapita nitakapo shambulia nchi ya Misri. Ili pigo halitawajia na kuwaharibu.
And the blood shall be unto you for a sign in the houses where you shall be: and I shall see the blood, and shall pass over you: and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I shall strike the land of Egypt.
14 Hii siku itakuwa kumbukumbu kwenu, ambayo lazima muadhimishe kama sherehe ya Yahweh. Itakuwa sheria kwenu pia, kwenye vizazi vyote vya watu wenu, ambayo mwapaswa kuadhimisha leo.
And this day shall be for a memorial to you: and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord in your generations with an everlasting observance.
15 Utakula mkate bila hamira wakati wa siku saba. Siku ya kwanza utaondoa hamira kwenye nyumba zenu. Yeyote atakaye kula mkate uliyotiwa chachu kwanzia siku ya kwanza mpaka siku ya saba, huyo mtu lazima akatwe kutoka Israeli.
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread: in the first day there shall be no leaven in your houses: whosoever shall eat any thing leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall perish out of Israel.
16 Siku ya kwanza kutakuwa na kusanyiko lililo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, na siku ya saba kutakuwa na kusanyiko kama hilo. Hakuna kazi itakayo fanywa hizi siku, zaidi ya kupika kila mmoja ale. Hiyo ndio kazi pekee itakayo fanywa na wewe.
The first day shall be holy and solemn, and the seventh day shall be kept with the like solemnity: you shall do no work in them, except those things that belong to eating.
17 Lazima uadhimishe hii Sherehe ya Mkate Usiotiwa Chachu kwasababu ni siku hii ambayo nitawaleta watu wako, makundi yaliyo na silaha, kwa makundi yaliyo na silaha, kutoka nchi ya Misri. Lazima uadhimishe hii siku kwa vizazi vyote vya watu wako. Hii itakuwa sheria kwako.
And you shall observe the feast of the unleavened bread: for in this same day I will bring forth your army out of the land of Egypt, and you shall keep this day in your generations by a perpetual observance.
18 Lazima ule mkate usiotiwa chachu kuanzia jioni ya siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka, mpaka jioni ya siku ya ishirini na moja ya mwezi.
The first month, the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the same month in the evening.
19 Wakati wa hizi siku, nyumbani mwenu kusipatikane na hamira. Yeyote atakaye kula mkate ulio andaliwa na hamira lazima akatwe kutoka jamii ya Israeli, huyo mtu awe ni mgeni au mtu aliye zaliwa nchini mwenu.
Seven days there shall not be found any leaven in your houses: he that shall eat leavened bread, his soul shall perish out of the assembly of Israel, whether he be a stranger or born in the land.
20 Hautakula chochote kilicho andaliwa na hamira. Popote utapo ishi, lazima ule mkate usio na hamira.”'
You shall not eat any thing leavened: in all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.
21 Kisha Musa akawaita viongozi wote wa Israeli na kuwaambia, “Nendeni na mchague mwana kondoo au mbuzi watakao tosha kulisha familia zenu na muue mwana kondoo wa pasaka.
And Moses called all the ancients of the children of Israel, and said to them: Go take a lamb by your families, and sacrifice the Phase.
22 Kisha chukua jani la hisopu na uchovye kwenye damu itakayo kuwa kwenye beseni. Paka damu iliyo kwenye beseni juu ya fremu ya mlango na kwenye mihimili miwili ya mlango. Hakuna ata mmoja atakaye toka nje ya mlango wake mpaka asubui.
And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood that is at the door, and sprinkle the transom of the door therewith, and both the door cheeks: let none of you go out of the door of his house till morning.
23 Kwa kuwa Yahweh atapita kushambulia Wamisri. Atakapo ona damu juu ya fremu ya mlango na kwenye mihimili miwili ya mlango, atapita mlango wako na ata ruhusu mharibifu kuja nyumbani kwenu kuwashambulia.
For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you.
24 Lazima uadhimishe hili tukio. Hili litakuwa daima sheria kwako na kwa uzao wenu.
Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for ever.
25 Utakapo ingia nchi Yahweh atakayo kupa, kama alivyo ahidi kufanya, lazima uadhimishe hili tendo la ibada.
And when you have entered into the land which the Lord will give you as he hath promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
26 Watoto wako watakapo kuuliza, 'Hili tendo la ibada lina maana gani?'
And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of this service?
27 kisha lazima useme, 'Ni sadaka ya Pasaka ya Yahweh, kwasababu Yahweh kapita nyumba za Waisraeli Misri alipo washambulia Wamisri. Aliweka nyumba zetu huru.”' Kisha watu wakamsujudia Yahweh.
You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.
28 Waisraeli wakaenda na kufanya kama Yahweh alivyo waamuru Musa na Aruni.
And the children of Israel going forth did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29 Ikawa usiku wa manane kuwa Yahweh akawashambulia wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa nchi ya Misri, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Farao, aliye keti kiti chake cha enzi, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa mtu aliye gerezani na wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa mifugo.
And it came to pass at midnight, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao, who sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive woman that was in the prison, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Farao akaamka usiku - yeye, watumishi wake, na Wamisri. Palikuwa na kelele za maombolezo Misri, kwa kuwa hakukuwa na nyumba ambayo hamna mtu hakufa.
And Pharao arose in the night, and all his servants, and all Egypt: for there was not a house wherein there lay not one dead.
31 Farao akamuita Musa na Aruni usiku na kusema, “Inuka, tokeni miongoni mwa watu wangu, nyie pamoja na Waisraeli. Nenda, mmuabudu Yahweh, kama mlivyo sema mnataka kufanya.
And Pharao calling Moses and Aaron, in the night, said: Arise and go forth from among my people, you and the children of Israel: go, sacrifice to the Lord as you say.
32 Chukuweni ng'ombe zenu na kondoo zenu, kama mlivyo sema, na muende, na pia mnibariki.”
Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing, bless me.
33 Wamisri walikuwa na haraka ya kuwa ondoa nchini, kwa kuwa walisema, “Sisi ni watu tuliokufa.”
And the Egyptians pressed the people to go forth out of the land speedily, saying: We shall all die.
34 Watu wakachukuwa ngano yao pasipo kuongeza hamira yeyote. Bakuli zao zakukandia ngano zilifungiwa kwenye nguo zao na kwenye mabega yao.
The people therefore took dough before it was leavened: and tying it in their cloaks, put it on their shoulders.
35 Watu Waisraeli walifanya kama Musa alivyo waambia. Waliwaomba Wamisri vitu vya fedha, vitu vya dhahabu, na nguo.
And the children of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and gold, and very much raiment.
36 Yahweh aliwafanya Wamisri na shauku ya kuwapendeza Waisraeli. Hivyo Wamisri waliwapa chochote walicho waomba. Katika hili, Waisraeli waliwachukulia vingi Wamisri.
And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians.
37 Waisraeli wakasafiri kutoka Ramesi kwenda Sakothi. Walikuwa na idadi ya wanaume 600, 000 kwa miguu, kuongezea kwa wanawake na watoto.
And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
38 Mchanganyiko wa kundi la wasio Waisraeli pia walienda nao, pamoja na ng'ombe na kondoo, idadi kumbwa ya mifugo.
And a mixed multitude without number went up also with them, sheep and herds and beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.
39 Walioka mikate na unga wa ngano wenye hamira walio utoa Misri. Ulikuwa hauna hamira kwasababu waliondolewa Misri na hawakuweza chelewa kuandaa chakula.
And they baked the meal, which a little before they had brought out of Egypt, in dough: and they made earth cakes unleavened: for it could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing them to depart, and not suffering them to make any stay: neither did they think of preparing any meat.
40 Waisraeli waliishi Misri kwa miaka 430.
And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Baada ya miaka 430, siku hiyo hiyo, majeshi yote ya Yahweh yalio jiami waliondoka kutoka nchi ya Misri.
Which being expired, the same day all the army of the Lord went forth out of the land of Egypt.
42 Huu ulikuwa usiku wakuwa macho, ili Yahweh awatoe kutoka nchi ya Misri. Huu ulikuwa usiku wa Yahweh wa kuadhimishwa na Waisraeli wote na watu wa vizazi vyao vyote.
This is the observable night of the Lord, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: this night all the children of Israel must observe in their generations.
43 Yahweh akamwambia Musa na Aruni, “Hii ni sheria ya Pasaka: hakuna mgeni anaye ruhusiwa kuila.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the service of the Phase: No foreigner shall eat of it.
44 Walakini, kila mtumwa wa Misraeli, aliye nunuliwa kwa pesa, anaeza kula baada ya kutahiriwa.
But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so shall eat.
45 Wageni na watumishi waajiriwa hawapaswi kula chakula chochote.
The stranger and the hireling shall not eat thereof.
46 Chakula chapaswa kuliwa ndani ya nyumba moja. Hauruhusiwi kubeba nyama yeyote nje ya nyumba, na hauruhusiwi kuvunja mfumba wowote.
In one house shall it be eaten, neither shall you carry forth of the flesh thereof out of the house, neither shall you break a bone thereof.
47 Jamii zote za Israeli za paswa kuadhimisha sherehe.
All the assembly of the children of Israel shall keep it.
48 Kama mgeni anaishi na wewe na anataka kuadhimisha Pasaka kwa Yahweh, ndugu zake wote wa kiume wapaswa kutahiriwa. Kisha anaeza kuja na kuadhimisha. Atakuwa kama watu walio zaliwa kwenye nchi. Walakini, hakuna mtu asiye tahiriwa anaruhusiwa kula chakula chochote.
And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not eat thereof.
49 Sheria hii hii itahusika kwa mzaliwa wa asili na mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu.”
The same law shall be to him that is born in the land, and to the proselyte that sojourneth with you.
50 Waisraeli wote walifanya kama Yahweh alivyo waamuru Musa na Aruni.
And all the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 Ikaja kuwa siku hiyo Yahweh akawaleta Israeli kutoka nchi ya Misri kwa makundi yalio jiami.
And the same day the Lord brought forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
