Exodus 12 (ASG)

1Ele lo biꞋi a Masar va, ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna,Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2Ili i na i ɗikai anana, wotoi u nampa u ɗaɗa ɗa̱ wotoi u iyain u ka̱ya̱.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Salaka aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱, dana le a kanna ka kupa ko wotoi u nampa, vuma dem u la̱nsa̱ ma̱giri ma na mi ushan u kenu, adama a aza a kpaꞋa a̱ ni.Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.

4KpaꞋa ku na baci ke enei ka kufuɗa kukotso ma̱giri ma uteku u ni ba, u ɓolongu m kpaꞋa ku na ki ɗevu n a̱yi, e pecuku maꞋa uteku u ka̱bunda̱i ka uma ka na ka kutakuma inyama ya.If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.

5Ma̱giri ma na i kuzagba mo okpo ma̱ ka̱ya̱ me te kpamu babu usa̱n, ama wi ta̱ a kufuɗa kokpo maraɗika ko mokyon.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6I yaꞋan ka̱ɓa̱na̱ ka nlala n nanlo mayin, sai a̱ kulivi ku kanna ka kupa n ka̱ na̱shi o wotoi u iyain u nampa. Ka̱ta̱ yaba dem a Isaraila u kiɗa malala ma̱ ni a kpaꞋa ku ni kafu ubuta̱ u lima̱na̱.You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.

7Ka̱ta̱ e kenuku mpasa ma a ɗarukpa akambu n gaɗi vu urotu wu utsutsu u kefeku wi iꞋuwa i le, a̱ ubuta̱ u na a kutakuma inyama ya.They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

8N kayin ka nanlo, i zungu nlala ma, ka̱ta̱ i takuma n a̱vuku a na i n okono, m boroji vu babu yisiti kpamu.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Ka̱ta̱ i takuma inyama ya ta̱ku ko usa̱kpi ba, ama i zungu inyama ya ra̱ka̱ koɓolo n kaci n ekpete m ma̱la̱ki dem.Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.

10Ka̱ta̱ kagimi ka buwa ali a kubana usana ba. Kagimi ka buwa baci, i songu kaꞋa kafu usana.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Nannai ɗa ya kutakuma i ɗa, nu ntogu n ɗa̱ u uki, n ataka u uki e ene a̱ ɗa̱, n alangu e ekiye a̱ ɗa̱. Yi ta̱ a kutakuma i ɗa m moloko, adama a na Ka̱ɗiva̱ ka Kupasamgbanai ka Vuzavaguɗu kaꞋa.This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.

12N kayin ka nanlo, mi ta̱ a̱ kuka̱ra̱Ꞌa̱ ubuta̱ wa aza a Masar, ka̱ta̱ mu una maku ma iyain dem ma aza a Masar, muku n ali n iyain nu nnama n na a̱ gita̱i kumatsa dem. Mi ta̱ a kuyaꞋanka a̱ma̱li a aza a Masar afada. Adama a na mpa ɗa Vuzavaguɗu.On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

13Mpasa n ɗaɗa n kokpo urotu a iꞋuwa i na yi dem. Me ene baci mpasa n nanlo, mi ta̱ a kupasa ɗa̱. Babu ma̱dukpa̱ mu ukpa̱ ma na ma̱ kuciya̱ ɗa̱ a ayin a na baci n tuka̱i aza a Masar n atakaci.The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14<<I kuyongo ta̱ a kuciɓasa n kanna ka nampa a̱ ka̱ya̱ dem. I yaꞋansa ka̱ɗiva̱ ka nampa ka u Vuzavaguɗu, ali a kubana wu ntsukaya n na i kuta̱wa̱ ya matsa ka̱ta̱ wo okpo ɗa̱ wila̱ u na i kutono ayin dem.And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

15Ali ayin e cindere a̱ɗa̱ a kutakuma boroji vu na vi n yisiti ba. Kanna ka iyain, yu uta̱ka̱ n yisiti a iꞋuwa i ɗa̱. Vuza na baci u takumai boroji vu yisiti a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka ayin e cindere a nanlo i ta̱ o kuloko yi a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka aza a Isaraila.For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.

16A kanna ka iyain ka̱ ka̱ɗiva̱ ka, n kanna ke cindere i yaꞋan oɓolo a ciɗa. Ka̱ta̱ i yaꞋan ulinga a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka ayin a nanlo ba, sai de i foɓuso ili i na i ku lyaꞋa koci yi ɗa ya kuyaꞋan.On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.

17Ka̱ta̱ i ciɓasa n kanna ka̱ ka̱ɗiva̱ ko boroji vu babu yisiti ka nampa, adama a na a kanna ka nanlo kaꞋa mu uta̱ka̱i ɗa̱ a iɗika i Masar kumaci-kumaci. A̱ kugita̱ anana ali m muku n ɗa̱ nu ntsukaya n ɗa̱ dem, yi ta̱ a kuciɓasa n kanna ka nampa wo okpo ɗa̱ wila̱.So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

18O wotoi u iyain a kanna ka ayin kupa n a̱ na̱shi n kulivi i takuma boroji vu babu yisiti, ali a kubana n kulivi ku kanna ka kamanga n ke te.In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.

19A̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka ayin e cindere a nanlo, ka̱ta̱ a cina yisiti a iꞋuwa i ɗa̱ ba. Vuza na baci a cinai a kutakuma ili i na yi n yisiti, ko komoci ko a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka uma a Isaraila, lokoi ni punu a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka uma a Isaraila.For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.

20A̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka ayin nanlo a̱ ubuta̱ u na yi ida̱shi dem, ka̱ta̱ i takuma ili i na yi n yisiti ba, i takuma boroji vu na vi babu yisiti.>>You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Ɗa Musa u ɗekei nkoshi m gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ mi Isaraila dem, ɗa u danai le, banai i zagba nlala n na i kukiɗa n limata i kpaꞋa i ɗa̱ ma̱ ka̱ɗiva̱ ma Kupasamgbanai.Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.

22Yaba dem u tsuwa̱n mpasa m malala ma̱ ni a masasu. Ka̱ta̱ u pitiku una̱ u izobu punu a mpasa ma. U yeve u vishangu a̱ utsutsu u kefeku, gaɗi n akambu dem. Ka̱ta̱ vuza wu uta̱ utsutsu u kefeku u kpaꞋa u ni ba, ali a kubana usana.Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.

23Ayin a na baci Vuzavaguɗu wi a̱ kuka̱ra̱Ꞌa̱ adama a na wu una aza a Masar, wi ta̱ e kene mpasa gaɗi n akambu a̱ utsutsu u kefeku u ɗa̱, ka̱ta̱ u pasa u ka̱sukpa̱ ɗa̱. U kuka̱sukpa̱ kuni ka ka uwa a iꞋuwa i ɗa̱ ka̱ta̱ wu una ɗa̱ ba.When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

24I tono ili i nampa adama a na yo okpo ili i kutono i ɗa̱ nu ntsukaya n ɗa̱, ayin dem.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Ayin a na baci i yawai a iɗika i na Vuzavaguɗu u yaꞋankai ɗa̱ uzuwakpani u kuneke ɗa̱, ka̱ta̱ i lyaꞋa kelime n kuciɓasa n ka̱ɗiva̱ ka nampa.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Muku n ɗa̱ me ece ɗa̱ baci, <<Yiɗa̱i ka̱ɗiva̱ ka nampa ka ki o kuyotsongusu?>>When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27Ka̱ta̱ i dana le, na va ka̱ɗiva̱ ka kupasamgbanai ka alyuka ka na Vuzavaguɗu wu uta̱ka̱i tsu a iɗika i Masar. Ɗa wu unai aza a Masar ama ɗa u ka̱sukpa̱i iꞋuwa i tsu. Ɗa uma a̱ kuɗa̱ngi ɗa a cikpai ni.you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

28Ɗa aza a Isaraila a yaꞋin derere tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29N kayin ka gbayin, ɗa Vuzavaguɗu wu unai ngaji ma aza a Masar ra̱ka̱. U gita̱i m magaji ma FiriꞋauna vuza na wi ida̱shi a kakuba ko tsugono, ali a kubana a magaji ma vuza na wi ɗe ushiyi a̱ kunu ku ugbashi, koɓolo m muku n iyain mi ilikuzuwa ra̱ka̱.Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

30FiriꞋauna n anan taji a̱ ni koɓolo n aza a Masar ra̱ka̱ a̱ ɗa̱nga̱i n kayin, ɗa a̱ ka̱na̱i ma̱shi n yoroli a iɗika i Masar ra̱ka̱, adama a na ukpa̱ u kawuriya u ɗa.During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.

31FiriꞋauna u suki a bana e ɗeke Musa n Haruna n kayin ka nanlo, u danai, <<Ɗenga̱i i Ka̱sukpa̱ka̱ mu uma a̱ va̱, a̱ɗa̱ n uma a̱ ɗa̱ aza a Isaraila yaꞋin tsu na i danai va, banai i cikpa Vuzavaguɗu.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.

32Ɗikai kuzuwa ku ɗa̱ n ushiga wu nlala n anaka tsu na vu danai. Ama ka̱ta̱ i zuwaka mu una̱singai biꞋi, ka̱ta̱ i laza.>>Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Ɗa ta na aza a Masar a gbagbalai uma a a yaꞋan moloko a̱ uta̱ punu a iɗika, ɗa a danai, <<Ta baci nannai ba, ci ta̱ a̱ kukuwa̱ ra̱ka̱.>>And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”

34Uma a Isaraila a ɗikai kiya ku na ki uzuɓuki n yisiti ba, ɗa a̱ tsungi ku ɗa nvene n le ɗa a̱ ka̱ta̱la̱i punu a ucanuku u le, ɗa o woki a avangatsu e le.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Ɗa aza a Isaraila a yaꞋin tsu na Musa u danai le a yaꞋan. Ɗaɗa e ecei aza a Masar ili ya azurufa, koɓolo n azanariya, koɓolo n aminya.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Vuzavaguɗu u zuwai aza a Isaraila a̱ ciya̱i wishi a̱ ubuta̱ wa aza a Masar. Ɗa e nekei le ili i na e ecei le dem. Ta aza a Isaraila a̱ pura̱i uciyi n a̱bunda̱i wa aza a Masar nannai.And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

37Ɗa uma a Isaraila a̱ ɗa̱nga̱i a̱ ka̱sukpa̱i Ramase, a̱ ka̱na̱i uye a kubana o Sukotu. Ka̱bunda̱i ka uma ka na a walai e ene ele ɗa a̱kpa̱n amangatawa̱nta̱li (600,000) ali biꞋi koci, babu a̱ma̱ci m muku.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Ka̱bunda̱i ka uma ka aza na i aza a Isaraila ba, ɗa o tonoi le, ushiga wa anaka nu nlala u tonoi le feu.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Ɗa a yaꞋin boroji vu na vi yisiti ba n kiya ku na a̱ uta̱ka̱i a iɗika i Masar. Boroji vu babu yisiti, adama na uta̱ka̱ le ta̱ m moloko a iɗika i Masar, a̱ ciya̱ o foɓusoko ka̱ci ke le ilikulyaꞋa ko boroji ba.Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.

40Muku mi Isaraila a̱ da̱sa̱ngu ta̱ a iɗika i Masar, ali a̱ya̱ amangatawa̱na̱shi n kamangankupa (430).Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41A kanna ku ukocishi ka̱ a̱ya̱ amangatawa̱na̱shi n kamangankupa (430) ka nanlo, ɗaɗa Vuzavaguɗu wu uta̱ka̱i n uma a̱ ni a iɗika i Masar ka̱tsura̱-ka̱tsura̱.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42N kayin ka nanlo ka ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u zuwai a̱shi adama a na wu uta̱ka̱ le a iɗika i Masar. Kayin ka nampa, ka Vuzavaguɗu kaꞋa, adama a nannai aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱ i ta̱ a kuzuwaka kayin ka nanlo ka a̱shi ali a kubana wu ntsukaya n na n kuta̱wa̱.Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

43Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna, na va ɗaɗa wila̱ u ka̱ɗiva̱ ka kupasamgbanai, Ka̱ta̱ i ka̱sukpa̱ komoci ka lyaꞋa ilikulyaꞋa ya ba.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Ama kagbashi dem ka na i tsulai wi ta̱ a kufuɗa wa lyaꞋa ilikulyaꞋa ya, wi baci n ukiɗi u kavaja.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Komoci ka na baci ka̱ cipa̱i wa̱ ɗa̱ ko vuza zamalinga, wa kulyaꞋa ilikulyaꞋa ya ba.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46<<I takuma inyama ya punu a asuvu a kpaꞋa ku te, ka̱ta̱ a̱ uta̱ka̱ n i ɗa pulai ba, ka̱ta̱ kpamu i takuma inyama ya i ɓoso etele a ba.It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.

47Uma a Isaraila ra̱ka̱ a yaꞋansa ka̱ɗiva̱ ka nampa.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Komoci ka na baci ki punu ida̱shi n a̱ɗa̱ ɗa u cigai kuyaꞋan feu ka̱ɗiva̱ ka kupasamgbanai ka Vuzavaguɗu, mayun ɗa maku ma vali ma na mi a kpaꞋa ku ni dem u ciya̱ ukiɗi u kavaja. Ka̱ta̱ ayin a nanlo u yeve u uwa a̱ ubuta̱ u ka̱ɗiva̱ wa koɓolo n a̱ɗa̱, wo okpo ta̱ vuza likuci feu. Mavali dem ma na a kiɗai kavaja ba, ka̱ta̱ u lyaꞋa ilikulyaꞋa ya ba.If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.

49Wila̱ u ka̱na̱ ta̱ yaba dem ko vuza likuci ko komoci ka na ki punu ida̱shi n a̱ɗa̱.>>The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Ɗa muku mi Isaraila n yaꞋin tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51A kanna ka nanlo ka ɗa Vuzavaguɗu wu uta̱ka̱i m muku mi Isaraila a iɗika i Masar, ka̱tsura̱-ka̱tsura̱.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
