Exodus 12 (CTH)

1BAWIPA ni Izip ram vah Mosi hoi Aron koe a dei pouh e teh;Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2Hete thapa heh nangmouh hanelah a kum tangkuem dawk apasuekpoung e thapa lah ao han.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Nangmouh roi ni Isarel rangpuinaw koe lawk na thui roi hane teh; Hete thapa hnin hra touh hnin vah nangmanaw pueng ni mae imthungkhu tangkuem dawk im touh ni tuca buet touh rip na sin awh han.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.

4Imthung kathoeng teh tuca buet touh hoi kâki hoehpawiteh imri kahnai e koe a bawng vaiteh tami nâyittouh maw tie a parei hnukkhu, boung cakhuem hane tuca hah a sin han.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.

5Tuca thoseh, hmaeca thoseh, nangmouh ni na sin e saring teh kacueme hoi âvâ ka cawt hoeh rae a tan han.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Hote tucanaw hah hote thapa hnin hra hlaipali totouh ring vaiteh, tangmin vah Isarel miphun, kamkhuengnaw ni a thei awh han.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.

7Tuca moi kacate im takhang tâphai hoi tangkhang dawk tu thi na hluk han.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.

8A moi teh hmai pahai hnukkhu, hote tangmin dawk tonphuenhoehe, kakhat e anhna hoi na ca awh han.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Moi ka heng lah thoseh, thawng lahoi hai thoseh na cat awh mahoeh. A lû, a khok, a kosanaw hoi cungtalah hmai pahai hnukkhu na ca awh han.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.

10Hote moi hah khodai totouh na tat mahoeh. Youn touh hai na cawi sak pawiteh, hmai na sawi han.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Bangtelamaw na ca awh han tetpawiteh, taisawm kâyeng hoi, khokkhawm hoi, sonron patuep lahoi karanglah na ca awh han. Hetteh, BAWIPA e ceitakhai pawi doeh.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.

12Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote karum dawk Izip ram pueng dawk ka cei vaiteh Izipnaw e camin hoi saringnaw e ca caminnaw pueng ka thei han. Izipnaw e cathutnaw hah lawk ka ceng han. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh.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.

13Tuca e a thi teh nangmouh na onae im dawk nangmae mitnoutnae lah ao han. Hote a thi ka hmu navah, Kai ni nangmouh teh na ceitakhai awh han. Hottelah, Izip ram ka rek nah nangmouh karaphoekung lacik teh nangmouh koe phat mahoeh.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.

14Hete hnin teh nangmouh hanlah pahnim thai hoeh e hnin lah ao vaiteh na ca catoun totouh, hete hnin dawk Cathut koe pawi a to awh han. Kâlawk lah ao dawkvah hote pawiteh pou na to awh han.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.

15Hnin sari touh thung tonphuenhoehe na ca awh han. Apasuek hnin nah ton hah imnaw dawk hoi na takhoe awh han. Apasuek hnin koehoi hnin sari totouh ton phuen e vaiyei ka cat e tami teh Isarel miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han.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.

16Apasuek hnin thoseh, asari hnin nah thoseh kathoung kamkhuengnae na sak awh han. Hote hnin dawkvah, taminaw ni canei hoi kâkuen e thaw hloilah alouke thaw tawk awh mahoeh.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.

17Hote tonphuenhoehe pawito ngainae teh, hote hnin dawk na taminaw Izip ram hoi ka tâco sak. Hatdawkvah, kâlawk ao e patetlah na ca catoun totouh hote hnin hah na ya awh han.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.

18Thapa yung pasuek, hnin hra hlaipali hnin tangmin hoi kamtawng teh hnin 20 tangmin totouh, nangmouh ni tonphuenhoehe na ca awh han.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.

19Hnin sari touh thung imnaw dawk ton na tat awh mahoeh. Ton phuen e vaiyei kacate ramlouk tami thoseh, khoca thoseh Isarelnaw koehoi takhoe lah ao han.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.

20Nangmouh na onae hmuen pueng koe ton phuen e vaiyei na cat awh mahoeh. Tonphuenhoehe vaiyei dueng na ca han atipouh.You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Hot navah, Mosi ni Isarel tami kacuenaw hah a kaw teh, na imthung tangkuem ni tuca hah ceitakhai pawi hanlah thet awh.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.

22Dingsala dawn lat awh nateh kawlung dawk ta e a thi dawk ranup nateh takhang dawk hluk awh. Hathnukkhu hoi amom totouh apihai ma im takhang alawilah na tâcawt a mahoeh.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.

23Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh Izipnaw thei hanlah a kâhlai han. Im takhang dawk e thi a hmu toteh BAWIPA ni takhang a ceitakhai han. Karaphoekung teh nangmouh reknae poe hanlah imthung kâen sak mahoeh.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.

24Nangmouh hoi na canaw koe lawkkamnae ao dawkvah hote hno heh pou na tarawi awh han.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25BAWIPA ni poe hanlah kam e ram dawk na pha awh toteh, hete phunglam heh na sak awh han.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Nangmae ca catounnaw ni hete phung heh bang ngainae maw na sak telah na pacei pawiteh,When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27BAWIPA ni Izipnaw a thei navah maimae imthungnaw a hlout sak. Izip ram kho ka sak e Isarelnaw e imnaw a ceitakhai e, BAWIPA e ceitakhai pawi lah ao telah bout na dei pouh han telah Mosi ni a dei hnukkhu, ahnimouh ni a lûsaling awh teh a bawk awh.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.

28BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron koe lawk a thui e patetlah Isarelnaw ni a sak awh.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Karumsaning vah, BAWIPA ni bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e Faro e camin koehoi kamtawng teh thongkabawtnaw e camin totouh, Izipnaw e camin pueng thoseh, saringnaw e camin pueng thoseh koung a thei.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.

30Hote tangmin vah, Faro siangpahrang hoi a sannaw, Izipnaw ni a thaw awh teh, im tangkuem tami a due dawkvah, Izip ram pueng dawk khuikanae puenghoi a pha.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.

31Hote tangmin vah, Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh, nangmouh roi hoi Isarelnaw thaw awh nateh ka taminaw koehoi tâcawt awh. Na hei e patetlah cet awh nateh Jehovah hah bawk awh leih.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.

32Nangmouh ni na hei e patetlah tu, maitonaw hrawi awh nateh cet awh. Kai haiyah yawhawinae na poe awh, telah atipouh.Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Izipnaw ni maimouh pueng hai tami kadout lah doeh koung o awh toe telah ati awh teh, Isarelnaw Izip ram dawk hoi karanglah tâco sak hanlah a dei pouh awh.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!”

34Hote taminaw ni ton phuen hoeh rae tavai a la awh teh, tavai kanawknae kawlungnaw a la awh teh, hni hoi a tangoung awh teh a phu awh.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Isarelnaw ni Izipnaw koe suingun, khohnanaw hah a hei awh.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36A hei awh e patetlah poe ngainae lungthin BAWIPA ni Izipnaw a tawn sak teh, Izipnaw e hnopainaw a lawp awh.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.

37Isarelnaw napui camo touk laipalah, tongpa ting taruk touh, Raameses khopui hoi a tâco awh teh Sukkoth lah a cei awh.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Alouklouke taminaw haiyah a tawn e tu, maito hoi saringnaw pueng hoi a kâbang awh.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Izip ram hoi a phu e tonphuenhoehe tavai a la awh teh, tonphuenhoehe a tau awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram hoi tang a pâlei awh dawkvah, canei kawi kârakueng mang awh hoeh.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.

40Isarelnaw teh Izip ram vah kum 430 touh imyin lah ao awh.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41A kum 430 akuepnae hnin dawk BAWIPA e ransanaw teh Izip ram hoi a tâco awh.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai dawkvah hote tangmin teh BAWIPA hanlah a ya awh. Hatdawkvah, hote tangmin teh Isarelnaw ni pout laipalah pou a ya awh e tangmin lah ao.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.

43BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron koevah, ceitakhai pawi phunglam teh hettelah ao. Ceitakhai pawiteh alouke miphun ni cat mahoeh.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Hateiteh, tangka hoi ran e san ni teh vuensoma hnukkhu a ca han.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Miphun alouke hoi san lah hno e naw ni teh cat mahoeh.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Im buet touh dawk na ca han. A moi im alawilah na sin mahoeh. A hru hai na khoe mahoeh.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.

47Isarelnaw pueng ni hote pawiteh na tarawi awh han.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Hahoi, nangmouh koe kârayen e Jentelnaw ni BAWIPA hanlah ceitakhai pawi sak han ngai awh pawiteh, tongpanaw pueng vuensoma awh naseh. Hathnukkhu hote tami teh khoca patetlah ao dawkvah pawi kâen naseh. Vuensom ka a hoeh e teh hote pawi cat thai hoeh.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.

49Khocanaw hoi nangmouh koe kârayennaw hanlah phunglam buet touh dueng doeh kaawm telah BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron koe a dei pouh.The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron koe a dei pouh e patetlah Isarelnaw ni a sak awh.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Hote hnin dawk BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw a ransanaw khue hoi Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
