Exodus 12 (LUG)

1Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa ne Alooni nga bali mu nsi y’e Misiri, n’abagamba nti,Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2“Okuva leero omwezi guno gwe gunaabanga omubereberye mu myezi gyonna mu mwaka gwammwe.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Mutegeeze abantu bonna aba Isirayiri nti ku lunaku olw’ekkumi olw’omwezi guno kigwanidde buli mukulu wa nnyumba, addire omwana gw’endiga ogw’okuliibwa mu maka ge, buli maka omwana gw’endiga gumu.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.

4Singa amaka gabaamu abantu batono nnyo abatamalaawo mwana gwa ndiga, amaka ago geegatte n’ag’omuliraano balye omwana gw’endiga ogwo. Muligeraageranya obungi bw’abantu abamalawo omwana gw’endiga nga musinziira ku ndya ya buli omu mu maka omwo.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.

5Omwana gw’endiga gusaana gube gwa seddume nga gwa mwaka gumu obukulu, era nga teguliiko kamogo. Guyinza okuba omwana gw’endiga oba ogw’embuzi.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Ensolo ezo muzirabiriranga okutuusa ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi guno; ekibiina kyonna eky’abantu ba Isirayiri ne kiryoka kizitta akawungeezi.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.

7Baddiranga omusaayi ne bagumansira ku njuyi zombi ne waggulu, ku mwango gw’oluggi lwa buli nnyumba mwe baliriira omwana gw’endiga.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.

8Mu kiro ekyo ennyama balyanga njokye ku muliro, era baliirangako n’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse n’enva ezikaawa.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Tewabanga ku nnyama eyo gye mulya nga mbisi obanga efumbwa mu mazzi; wabula mugyokyanga ku muliro: omutwe, amagulu n’eby’omunda byonna.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.

10Temugiterekangako kutuusa nkeera; bw’ebalemanga eggulolimu, mugyokyanga bwokya ne mugizikiriza.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Mugiryanga bwe muti: Mwesibanga ekimyu, nga mwambadde n’engatto zammwe, nga mukutte n’omuggo. Mugiryanga mangu. Kubanga eyo y’Embaga ey’Okuyitako kwa Mukama.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“Kubanga mu kiro ekyo ndiyita mu nsi ya Misiri, nditta buli kibereberye kyonna mu nsi y’e Misiri, abantu era n’ebisolo; era bakatonda bonna ab’omu Misiri ndibasalira omusango. Nze Mukama.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.

13Omusaayi ke kaliba akabonero akalaga ennyumba mwe muli; era bwe ndiraba omusaayi, nga mbayitako; so n’okuzikirira kwe ndireeta ku Bamisiri mmwe tekulibakwatako.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“Olunaku luno lunaababeereranga lwa kijjukizo, era munaalukuumanga ne mulukwata nga lwa mbaga ya Mukama mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egiriddiriŋŋana. Lino lifuuse tteeka ery’emirembe gyonna.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.

15Munaalyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku musanvu; era ku lunaku olusooka, mu nnaku ezo omusanvu, ekizimbulukusa mukiggiranga ddala mu nnyumba zammwe, kubanga alivumbulwa ng’alidde omugaati ogulimu ekizimbulukusa, okuva ku lunaku olusooka okutuusa ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, aligobebwa mu Isirayiri.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.

16Ku lunaku olusooka wanaabangawo olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu, ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu munaabanga n’olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu; ennaku ezo temuzikolerangako mulimu gwa ngeri yonna, okuggyako okufumba emmere abantu bonna gye banaalya, kye kyokka kye mujjanga okukola.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.

17“Mukwatanga Embaga ey’Emigati Egitali mizimbulukuse, kubanga ku lunaku luno lwennyini kwe naggyira ebika bya Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri. Noolwekyo olunaku luno munaalukwatanga n’ab’omu mirembe gyonna egiriddawo. Ekyo kiragiro eky’emirembe n’emirembe.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.

18Mu mwezi ogusooka, munaalyanga omugaati ogutaliimu kizimbulukusa, okuva mu kawungeezi ak’olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi, okutuusa ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu olumu olw’omwezi ogwo.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.

19Okumala ennaku musanvu mu nnyumba zammwe temulabikangamu ekizimbulukusa; era alivumbulwa ng’alidde ekintu kyonna omuli ekizimbulukusa, agenda kugobwa mu Isirayiri, ne bwaliba omuzaaliranwa oba omugwira.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.

20Temulyanga kintu kyonna omuli ekizimbulukusa; mu nnyumba zammwe mwe musula yonna, mulyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse.”You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Awo Musa n’ayita abakulembeze ba Isirayiri bonna, n’abagamba nti, “Mwerondere abaana b’endiga ng’amaka gammwe bwe gali, mutte omwana gw’endiga ogw’Okuyitako.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.

22Musibe bulungi akaddo k’akakubansiri, mukannyike mu musaayi gwe mutadde mu bensani, mulyoke mumansire ku mwango gw’oluggi waggulu, ne ku njuyi zombi ez’omwango. Tewabaawo n’omu afuluma ennyumba ye okutuusa ng’obudde bukedde.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.

23Kubanga Mukama ajja kuyita awo ng’agenda okutta Abamisiri; kale bw’anaalaba omusaayi ku mwango gw’oluggi waggulu ne ku mwango mu mbiriizi z’oluggi, oluggi olwo Mukama ajja kuluyitako, era tajja kukkiriza oyo azikiriza kuyingira mu nnyumba zammwe n’okubatta.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.

24“Kibagwanira okugondera ebiragiro bino ng’etteeka, mmwe ne batabani bammwe emirembe gyonna.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Era bwe muliyingira mu nsi Mukama gy’alibawa nga bwe yasuubiza, temwerabiranga mukolo guno.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza nti, ‘Omukolo guno gutegeeza ki?’When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27Mulibaddamu nti, ‘Kino kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama eky’Okuyitako, kubanga yayita ku nnyumba z’Abayisirayiri mu Misiri, n’awonya amaka gaffe, bwe yatta Abamisiri.’ ” Awo abantu ne bavuunama ne basinza.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.

28Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagenda ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni, bwe batyo bwe baakola.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Awo ekiro mu ttumbi Mukama n’atta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri, okuviira ddala ku mubereberye wa Falaawo eyali ow’okumusikira, okutuuka ku mubereberye w’omusibe ali mu kkomera; era n’ente embereberye zonna.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.

30Falaawo n’azuukuka mu kiro wakati, ye n’abaweereza be bonna, n’Abamisiri bonna; Misiri yonna n’ejjula okukungubaga, kubanga tewaaliwo nnyumba n’emu omutaafa muntu.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.

31Mu kiro ekyo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni n’abagamba nti, “Musituke! Mutuviire, nze n’abantu bange, mmwe n’abaana ba Isirayiri. Mugende musinze Mukama nga bwe mwansaba.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.

32Mutwale amagana gammwe n’ebisibo byammwe nga bwe mwansaba, mugende; nange munsabirangayo omukisa!”Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Awo Abamisiri ne basindiikiriza abaana ba Isirayiri banguwe okubaviira mu nsi yaabwe; kubanga baagamba nti, “Ffenna tufa tuggwaawo!”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!”

34Abaana ba Isirayiri ne baddira obuwunga bwabwe obw’emigaati obugotte, obutaliimu kizimbulukusa, ne babussa mu bbakuli omufumbirwa emigaati, ne babuzinga mu ngoye zaabwe, ne babutwalira ku bibegabega byabwe.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Baakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira, ne basaba Abamisiri eby’omuwendo ebya ffeeza n’ebya zaabu, awamu n’ebyambalo.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Mukama yali aleetedde abaana ba Isirayiri okuganja mu Bamisiri, bwe batyo ne baweebwa buli kye baasabanga. Ne baleka nga bakalizza Abamisiri.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.

37Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne batambula okuva e Lameseesi ne batuuka e Sukkosi. Baali abantu ng’emitwalo nkaaga, ng’abakazi n’abaana tebabaliddwa.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Waaliwo n’abantu abalala bangi abaagenda nabo. Baatwala amagana g’ente mangi, n’ebisibo, bingi nnyo.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Ne beefumbira emigaati mu buwunga obugotte bwe baggya mu Misiri, naye tegyalimu kizimbulukusa, kubanga baasindiikirizibwa busindiikirizibwa okuva mu Misiri, ne bataba na budde bwa kwefumbira mmere.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.

40Emyaka abaana ba Isirayiri gye baamala mu Misiri gyawera ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Ku lunaku olwasembayo olwaweza emyaka ebikumi ebina mu asatu, eggye lya Mukama eryo lyonna kwe lyasitulira ne liva mu nsi y’e Misiri.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Mukama yali bulindaala ekiro ky’olunaku olwo, n’aggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri; noolwekyo abaana ba Isirayiri banajjukiranga Mukama ekiro ky’olunaku olwo emirembe gyabwe gyonna.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.

43Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Bino by’ebiragiro by’Okuyitako: “Omunaggwanga takkirizibwa kugiryako.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Omuddu aguliddwa n’ensimbi akkirizibwa okugiryako singa amala okukomolebwa;But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45naye omugenyi omugwira, n’omupakasi akola awaka, tebakkirizibwa kugiryako.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46“Buli ndiga eneerirwanga mu nnyumba emu; ennyama eyo tekuubengako efulumizibwa bweru wa nju eyo. Temumenyanga ku magumba gaayo n’erimu.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.

47Abantu bonna aba Isirayiri banaakolanga omukolo guno.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48“Omunaggwanga abeera mu mmwe bw’abanga ayagala okukolera Mukama Katonda omukolo gw’Okuyitako, asaana asooke okukomola abantu be aboobulenzi bonna abali mu maka ge, alyoke asembere gye muli yeegatte mu mukolo ogwo; kubanga olwo anaabanga ng’omuzaaliranwa mu nsi omwo. Naye atali mukomole taagiryengako.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.

49Etteeka lye limu lye linaakwatibwanga omuzaaliranwa n’Omunnaggwanga abeera mu mmwe.”The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne bakola nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa ne Alooni; bwe batyo bonna bwe baakola.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Awo ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’aggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi ey’e Misiri nga bagendera mu bibinja byabwe.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
