Kutoka 12
1 Yahweh akasema na Musa na Aruni katika nchi ya Misri. Alisema,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Kwako wewe, mwezi huu utakuwa mwanzo wa miezi, mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka kwako.
'This month [is] to you the chief of months — it [is] the first to you of 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 unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month — they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.
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.
'(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for 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.
a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take [it].
6 Lazima umtunze mpaka siku ya kumi na nne ya huo mwezi. Kisha kusanyiko lote la Israeli lazima liwaue hawa wanyama jioni.
'And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;
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 have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they 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 have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;
9 Usiile mbichi au imechemshwa kwenye maji. Badala yake, choma kwenye moto na kichwa chake, miguu na sehemu za ndani.
ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;
10 Usiache ata kidogo kubaki mpaka asubui. Lazima uchome chochote kilicho baki asubui.
and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.
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 ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,
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 have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I [am] Jehovah.
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 hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in 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 hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; — a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.
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 ye eat unleavened things; only — in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from 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.
'And in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person — it alone is done by you,
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 ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations — a statute age-during.
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.
'In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at 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 leaven is not found in your houses, for any [one] eating anything fermented — that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;
20 Hautakula chochote kilicho andaliwa na hamira. Popote utapo ishi, lazima ule mkate usio na hamira.”'
anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
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 calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, 'Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;
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 ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening 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.
'And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.
24 Lazima uadhimishe hili tukio. Hili litakuwa daima sheria kwako na kwa uzao wenu.
'And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons — unto the age;
25 Utakapo ingia nchi Yahweh atakayo kupa, kama alivyo ahidi kufanya, lazima uadhimishe hili tendo la ibada.
and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;
26 Watoto wako watakapo kuuliza, 'Hili tendo la ibada lina maana gani?'
and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What [is] this service ye have?
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.
that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it [is] to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'
28 Waisraeli wakaenda na kufanya kama Yahweh alivyo waamuru Musa na Aruni.
And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
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 cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.
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 Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is 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 he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, 'Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;
32 Chukuweni ng'ombe zenu na kondoo zenu, kama mlivyo sema, na muende, na pia mnibariki.”
both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'
33 Wamisri walikuwa na haraka ya kuwa ondoa nchini, kwa kuwa walisema, “Sisi ni watu tuliokufa.”
And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, 'We are all dead;'
34 Watu wakachukuwa ngano yao pasipo kuongeza hamira yeyote. Bakuli zao zakukandia ngano zilifungiwa kwenye nguo zao na kwenye mabega yao.
and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
35 Watu Waisraeli walifanya kama Musa alivyo waambia. Waliwaomba Wamisri vitu vya fedha, vitu vya dhahabu, na nguo.
And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;
36 Yahweh aliwafanya Wamisri na shauku ya kuwapendeza Waisraeli. Hivyo Wamisri waliwapa chochote walicho waomba. Katika hili, Waisraeli waliwachukulia vingi Wamisri.
and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil 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 sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
38 Mchanganyiko wa kundi la wasio Waisraeli pia walienda nao, pamoja na ng'ombe na kondoo, idadi kumbwa ya mifugo.
and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd — very much cattle.
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 bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.
40 Waisraeli waliishi Misri kwa miaka 430.
And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
41 Baada ya miaka 430, siku hiyo hiyo, majeshi yote ya Yahweh yalio jiami waliondoka kutoka nchi ya Misri.
and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years — yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day — all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from 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.
A night of watchings it [is] to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.
43 Yahweh akamwambia Musa na Aruni, “Hii ni sheria ya Pasaka: hakuna mgeni anaye ruhusiwa kuila.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, 'This [is] a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;
44 Walakini, kila mtumwa wa Misraeli, aliye nunuliwa kwa pesa, anaeza kula baada ya kutahiriwa.
and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him — then he doth eat of it;
45 Wageni na watumishi waajiriwa hawapaswi kula chakula chochote.
a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;
46 Chakula chapaswa kuliwa ndani ya nyumba moja. Hauruhusiwi kubeba nyama yeyote nje ya nyumba, na hauruhusiwi kuvunja mfumba wowote.
in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;
47 Jamii zote za Israeli za paswa kuadhimisha sherehe.
all the company of Israel do 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 when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;
49 Sheria hii hii itahusika kwa mzaliwa wa asili na mgeni anayeishi miongoni mwenu.”
one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'
50 Waisraeli wote walifanya kama Yahweh alivyo waamuru Musa na Aruni.
And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
51 Ikaja kuwa siku hiyo Yahweh akawaleta Israeli kutoka nchi ya Misri kwa makundi yalio jiami.
And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
