Exodus 12 (LIN)

1Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron kati na Ejipito :Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2« Sanza oyo ekozala mpo na bino sanza ya liboso ya mobu.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Boloba boye na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele : Na mokolo ya zomi na sanza oyo, libota moko na moko to ndako moko na moko esengeli kozala na mwana meme to na mwana ntaba.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.

4Kasi soki bato ya ndako bazali ebele te mpo na kolia mwana meme ya mobimba, bakolia yango elongo na bato ya ndako oyo ezali pene na ndako na bango kolanda motango ya bato. Bakopona mwana meme kolanda oyo moko na moko akoki kolia.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.

5Mwana meme to mwana ntaba oyo bakopona esengeli kozala ya mobali, ya mobu moko mpe ezanga mbeba.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Bokobatela yango kino na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza yango. Na mokolo yango, bato nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bakokata yango kingo na pokwa.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.

7Bakozwa makila na yango mpe bakopakola yango na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke ya bandako epai wapi bakolia nyama yango.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.

8Na butu ya mokolo yango, bakotumba mosuni na yango na moto mpe bakolia yango elongo na mapa ezanga levire mpe matiti ya bololo.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Bakolia te mosuni oyo ebela malamu te to oyo batokisa, kasi bakolia kaka mosuni oyo batumba na moto elongo na makolo, moto mpe biloko ya kati.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.

10Bokotika ata ndambo te kino na tongo. Kasi soki ndambo ekomi na tongo, botumba yango na moto.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Tala ndenge nini bokolia yango : bokolata mokaba na loketo, basandale na makolo, mpe bokosimba lingenda na loboko. Bokolia yango na lombangu. Ezali feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe.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.

12Kaka na butu yango, nakoleka na Ejipito ; nakoboma bana nyonso ya liboso kati na Ejipito kobanda na bato kino na banyama ; mpe nakosambisa banzambe nyonso ya Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu. Nazali Yawe.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.

13Na bandako epai wapi bokozala, makila ekozala elembo mpo na bino ; bongo tango Ngai nakomona makila yango, nakoleka bino. Boye etumbu moko te ya kufa ekokweya kati na bino tango nakopesa etumbu na mokili ya Ejipito.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.

14Mokolo yango ekozala mokolo ya ekaniseli mpo na bino. Bileko na bileko, bokobanda kosala feti na mokolo yango mpo na lokumu ya Yawe ; yango ekozala mpo na bino mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bakitani oyo bakoya sima na bino.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.

15Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire. Na mokolo ya liboso, bokolongola levire na bandako na bino ; pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolia eloko oyo ezali na levire, kobanda na mokolo ya liboso kino na mokolo ya sambo, bakolongola ye kati na bato ya Isalaele.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.

16Bokozala na mayangani ya bule na mokolo ya liboso mpe na mokolo ya sambo. Bokosala mosala moko te na mikolo wana longola kaka mosala ya kolamba bilei oyo moto na moto akolia. Yango kaka nde bokosala.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.

17Bokosala feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, pamba te ezalaki na mokolo yango nde nabimisaki mampinga na bino na Ejipito. Bokosala feti na mokolo yango lokola mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bakitani oyo bakoya sima na bino.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.

18Na sanza ya liboso, bokolia mapa ezanga levire kobanda na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei kino na pokwa ya mokolo ya tuku mibale na moko.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.

19Mikolo sambo, levire esengeli te komonana kati na bandako na bino ; pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolia eloko oyo ezali na levire, esengeli balongola ye na lisanga ya Isalaele, azala mopaya to mwana mboka ya Isalaele.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.

20Bokolia eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire. Na bisika nyonso oyo bokozala, bokolia kaka mapa ezanga levire. »You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Moyize abengisaki bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango : « Bokende kozwa na libota moko na moko mwana meme to mwana ntaba mpe bokata yango kingo lokola mbeka ya Pasika.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.

22Bokokamata etape ya nzete ya izope, bokozindisa yango na makila oyo ekozala kati na sani monene, bokopakola yango na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke. Moko te kati na bino abima libanda ya ekuke ya ndako na ye kino na tongo.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.

23Wana Yawe akoleka na mokili mpo na koboma bato ya Ejipito mpe akomona makila na libaya ya likolo mpe na mabaya mibale ya mipanzi oyo esimbaka ekuke, akoleka ekuke yango mpe akopesa nzela te na mobomi ete akota na bandako na bino mpo na koboma.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.

24Bokotosa malako oyo lokola mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakitani na bino.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Tango bokokota na mokili oyo Yawe akopesa bino ndenge alakaki, bosalela likambo oyo.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Bongo tango bana na bino bakotuna bino : ‹ Molulu oyo elakisi nini mpo na bino ? ›When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27Bokoloba na bango : ‹ Ezali mbeka ya feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe oyo alekaki bandako ya bana ya Isalaele kati na Ejipito mpe abikisaki bandako na biso tango abomaki bato ya Ejipito. › » Na bongo, bana ya Isalaele bafukamaki mpe bagumbamelaki Yawe.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.

28Bato ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize mpe Aron.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Na kati-kati ya butu, Yawe abomaki bana mibali nyonso ya liboso kati na Ejipito kobanda na mwana mobali ya liboso ya Faraon oyo azalaki kokonza na kiti ya bokonzi kino na mwana mobali ya liboso ya mokangami oyo azalaki kati na boloko, mpe bana mibali ya liboso ya bibwele nyonso.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.

30Na butu wana, Faraon elongo na bakalaka na ye nyonso mpe bato nyonso ya Ejipito batelemaki ; mpe koganga makasi ezalaki na Ejipito, pamba te ezalaki na ndako moko te oyo ezangaki ebembe.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.

31Kaka na butu wana, Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango : « Botelema, bobima kati na bato na ngai, bino mpe bana ya Isalaele. Bokende kogumbamela Yawe ndenge bosengaki.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.

32Bokamata bibwele na bino ndenge bolobaki : bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba ; mpe bokende. Boye, bopambola mpe ngai. »Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Bato ya Ejipito batindikaki bana ya Isalaele ete babima noki na mokili na bango. Bazalaki koloba : « Bokende na bino, noki te biso tokokufa. »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!”

34Boye bato bazwaki potopoto na bango ya farine liboso ete batia yango levire, bazingaki na banzambala na bango banzungu oyo basalelaka potopoto mpe batiaki yango na mapeka na bango.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Bato ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge Moyize alobaki na bango mpe basengaki epai ya bato ya Ejipito biloko ya palata, ya wolo mpe bilamba.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Bongo Yawe asalaki ete bana ya Isalaele bazwa ngolu na miso ya bato ya Ejipito oyo bapesaki bango biloko oyo basengaki. Na ndenge wana nde basilisaki biloko ya bato ya Ejipito.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.

37Bato ya Isalaele balongwaki na Ramisesi mpe bakendeki na Sukoti ; bazalaki mibali nkoto nkama motoba oyo bazalaki kotambola na makolo longola basi mpe bana.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Ezalaki lisusu na ebele ya bato oyo bakendeki na bango elongo ; bamemaki lisusu bibwele : bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Basalaki na farine oyo bamemaki wuta na Ejipito bagato ezanga levire, pamba te tango babenganaki bango, potopoto emivimbelaki te mpe bazangaki tango ya kobongisa biloko ya kolia mpo na bango moko.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.

40Mibu oyo bana ya Isalaele bavandaki na Ejipito ezalaki nkama minei na tuku misato.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Na suka ya mobu oyo ya nkama minei na tuku misato, mampinga nyonso ya Yawe batikaki Ejipito.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Lokola Yawe akengelaki butu wana mpo na kobimisa bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito, butu yango ekomi ya Yawe : ekobanda kozala butu ya kokengela mpo na bana ya Isalaele na milongo na bango nyonso oyo ekoya.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.

43Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron : « Tala mibeko na tina na Pasika : ‹ Mopaya moko te akoki kolia yango.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Kasi mowumbu nyonso oyo bakosomba, basengeli liboso kokata ye ngenga, sima nde akoki kolia Pasika.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Mopaya oyo akozala na bino mpo na tango moke mpe mosali oyo azwaka lifuti bakolia yango te.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Ekoliama kaka kati na ndako moko na moko, bakobimisa ata mosuni moko te na libanda ya ndako mpe bakobuka ata mokuwa na yango moko te.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.

47Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ekosala feti ya Pasika.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Soki mopaya oyo azali kati na bino alingi kosepela na feti ya Pasika ya Yawe, esengeli ete mibali nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako na ye bakatama ngenga ; bongo nde akozwa nzela ya kolia Pasika lokola mwana mboka ya Isalaele. Kasi mobali oyo akokatama ngenga te akoki kolia Pasika te.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.

49Mibeko ezali se ndenge moko mpo na mwana mboka ya Isalaele mpe mpo na mopaya oyo azali kati na bino. › »The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Bato nyonso ya Isalaele basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize mpe Aron.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Mpe na mokolo wana, Yawe abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na molongo, wuta na Ejipito, lokola mampinga ya basoda.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
