Exodus 12 (KOS)

1LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Moses ac Aaron in acn Egypt, ac fahk,Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2“Malem se inge kowos fah oru tuh in malem se emeet ke yac nu suwos.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Sang oakwuk inge nu sin mwet Israel nukewa: Ke len aksingoul in malem se inge, kais sie mukul enenu in sulela soko sheep fusr ku soko nani fusr nu sin mwet in lohm sel in mongo kac.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.

4Fin sou lal uh supusla in kang kosro fon soko, na sou lal ac sou atulani lal ku in tukeni kac, na elan kitalik in fal nu ke pisen mwet uh ke lupa ma elos ac ku in kangla.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.

5Kom ku in sulela soko sheep mukul ku soko nani mukul, tusruktu matwa in yac se, ac in wangin ma koluk ke manol.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Na ke eku in len aksingoul akosr in malem sac, mwet Israel nukewa fah uniya kosro solla uh.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.

7Mwet an fah eis kutu srah kac ac sang mosrwela sru lukwa ke mutunoa, ac acn lucng ke mutunoa, ke lohm nukewa ma kosro inge ac fah mongola we.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.

8In fong sac ikwa uh ac fah manman, na mwet uh fah kang wi mahsrik mwen ac bread wangin mwe pulol kac.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Nikmet kang ikwa inge fin takmwek ku poel, a enenu in fonna manmanla, wi na sifa, nia, ac koanonsia.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.

10Kowos fah tia filiya kutena ip kac nu ke lututang. Fin oasr ma lula, kowos fah esukak.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Kowos in nuknukyang ac fahlukyang akola nu ke fahla, ac sikal lowos in oan inpouwos, na kowos in mongo aksaya. Pa inge Kufwen Alukela se meet in akfulatyeyu, nga LEUM GOD.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.

12“Ke fong sac nga fah fahsr sasla fin acn Egypt, ac nga fah uniya wounse mukul nukewa sin mwet ac sin kosro, ac nga fah kai god nukewa lun acn Egypt. Nga pa LEUM GOD.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.

13Srah fin mutunoa uh pa ac akilenya lohm ma kowos muta loac. Ke nga ac liye srah, nga fah aliki kowos ac fah tia oru kutena ma upa nu suwos ke nga ac kalyei mwet Egypt.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.

14Kowos fah akfulatye len se inge tuh in sie len in kufwa mutal, in akesmakinye kowos ke ma nga, LEUM GOD, tuh orala. Kowos, ac fwilin tulik nutuwos nukewa fahsru, in akfulatye len se inge nwe tok.”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.

15LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fah tia kang kutena bread ma oasr mwe pulol kac ke len itkosr — kang bread ma wangin mwe pulol kac mukena. Kowos fah sisla mwe pulol nukewa in lohm suwos an ke len se meet, tuh inmasrlon len itkosr inge fin oasr sie mwet kang bread orekla ke mwe pulol, mwet sacn ac fah tia sifilpa oaoa mu mwet luk.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.

16Ke len se meet oayapa len se akitkosr kowos fah tukeni in alu. Wangin orekma in orek ke len luo ingan, sayen in akoeyuk mwe mongo.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.

17Kowos in karinganang ac oru na Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol se inge, mweyen pa inge len se nga tuh usla sruf lowos liki Egypt. In pacl nukewa fahsru, kowos fah akfulatye len se inge tuh in sie len in orek kufwa.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.

18Mutawauk ke eku in len aksingoul akosr in malem se meet, nwe ke eku in len aklongoul sie, kowos fah tia mongo kutena bread ma orek ke mwe pulol.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.

19Ac fah wangin mwe pulol in koneyukyak in lohm suwos ke lusen len itkosr. Tuh kutena mwet fin mongo ke ma oasr mwe pulol kac, finne mwetsac se ku sie su isusla fin acn uh, ac fah wutiyukla el liki walil lun mwet Israel.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.

20Kowos fah tia kang ma oasr mwe pulol kac. In lohm suwos nukewa, kowos fah kang bread wangin mwe pulol kac.”You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Na Moses el solani mwet kol nukewa lun Israel ac fahk nu selos, “Kais sie suwos fah sulela soko sheep fusr ku soko nani fusr ac uniya, tuh sou lowos fah ku in akfulatye Kufwen Alukela.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.

22Eis sie lahn sak hyssop, isongya nu ke srah ma oan in sie pol, ac sang mosrwela sru ac sak lucng ke mutunoa in lohm suwos. Wangin sie suwos fah illa liki lohm suwos nwe ke lututang.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.

23Ke pacl se LEUM GOD El ac fahsr sasla in acn Egypt in uniya mwet Egypt, El ac fah liye srah ke sru ac acn lucng ke mutunoa suwos, ac tia fuhlela Lipufan lun Misa in utyak nu in lohm suwos in unikowosi.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.

24Kowos ac tulik nutuwos fah akos ma sapkinyuk inge nwe tok.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Kowos in oru na kufwa se inge ke pacl se kowos ac ilyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El wuleot in asot in suwos.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Ke tulik nutuwos ac siyuk suwos, ‘Mea kalmen ma kowos muta oru ke kufwa se inge?’When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27kowos fah fahk mu, ‘Pa inge mwe kisa lun Alukela in akfulatye LEUM GOD, mweyen El fahsr alukela lohm nukewa sin mwet Israel in acn Egypt ke El tuh uniya mwet Egypt, a El tia unikuti’” Mwet Israel elos epasr ac alu.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.

28Na elos som ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses ac Aaron.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Ke infulwen fong LEUM GOD El onela wounse mukul nukewa in acn Egypt, mutawauk na ke wounse nutin tokosra, su ac fah mau tokosra tokol, na nwe ke wounse mukul nutin mwet ma kaul in presin. Ma soko isusla oemeet nutin kosro nukewa wi pac anwuki.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.

30In fong sac, tokosra, mwet fulat lal, ac mwet Egypt nukewa ngutalik. Oasr tung lulap ngisyak in acn Egypt nufon, mweyen oasr mwet misa in lohm nukewa.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.

31In fong sacna, tokosra el solalma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk nu seltal, “Komtal ac mwet Israel nukewa, fahla liki acn sik uh! Fahsrot ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke kowos kwafe an.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.

32Us sheep, nani, ac cow nutuwos ac som. Oayapa pre tuh in akinsewowoyeyuk nga.”Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Mwet Egypt uh salka mwet uh in sulaklak som liki mutunfacl sac. Elos fahk, “Kowos fin tia som, kut nukewa ac misa.”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!”

34Ouinge mwet uh nwakla pan in manman lalos ke flao ma wangin mwe pulol kac, nokmani ke nuknuk, ac lippisauk ac us.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Mwet Israel oru oana Moses el tuh fahk, ac ngisre sin mwet Egypt ke mwe naweyuk gold ac silver, ac oayapa nuknuk.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36LEUM GOD El oru tuh mwet Egypt in akfulatye mwet uh ac sang nu selos ma elos siyuk. Ouinge mwet Israel elos us mwe kasrup lun mwet Egypt ac som.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.

37Mwet Israel mukuiyak ac fahsr liki acn Rameses nu Sukkoth. Ac oasr mukul onfoko tausin ma, sayen mutan ac tulik.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Oasr pac mwetsac puspis welulos som, wi pac un sheep, nani ac cow puspis.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Elos umunla bread ke flao aryarak ma elos us tuku Egypt me ma wangin mwe akpulal kac, mweyen lillilla elos liki acn Egypt ke tia suyak, pa oru srikla pacl lalos in akoo ma nalos ku sang mwe pulol nu ke flao.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.

40Mwet Israel uh tuh muta yac angfoko tolngoul in Egypt.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Ke na len safla ke yac angfoko tolngoul, sruf nukewa ke mwet lun LEUM GOD illa liki facl Egypt.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Fong sac pa LEUM GOD El tuh tawi ac usalosla liki acn Egypt. Na oru mwet Israel elos srela fong se inge ke yac nukewa tuh elos in tawi ac akfulatye nu sin LEUM GOD.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.

43LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron, “Pa inge oakwuk ke Kufwen Alukela: Wangin mwetsac fah kang mwe mongo ke Kufwen Alukela,And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44tusruktu kutena mwet kohs su kowos molela ke mani, ku in mongo kac kowos fin kosralosla meet.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Wangin mwet fahsr, ku mwet orekma su eis molo, ku in mongo kac.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Mwe mongo nukewa fah mongola in lohm se na ma akoeyuk we uh. In tia utukla nu likinuma, ac nikmet koteya kutena sri ke kosro inge.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.

47Mwet Israel nukewa fah akfulatye kufwa se inge.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Fin oasr sie mwetsac mutala inmasrlowos, ac el lungse wi akfulatye Kufwen Alukela in sunakin LEUM GOD, lela el ac mukul nukewa in lohm sel in kosrala meet. Na el ac fah oana sie mwet isusla in facl Israel, ac el fah ku in wi ipeis ke kufwa uh. Mwet ma tia kosrala tia ku in wi mongo kac.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.

49Ma sap inge ma nu sin mwet nukewa su isusla mwet Israel, ac oayapa nu sin mwetsac su mutala inmasrlowos.”The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Ouinge mwet Israel nukewa elos oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses ac Aaron.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Ke len sac LEUM GOD El pwanla sruf nukewa lun Israel liki facl Egypt.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
