Exodus 12 (MFO)

1Wa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs, ọmaana Aarọn k'Ijip bi,Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2“Ophe nwa on-ode ochedenphe, ochedenphe kwabọng kwa cho.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Gbaak anọng p'Israẹl biphyir bi, k'iwu jobh s'ophe nwa, ojinọng kpenamkpen, otzima orukhimaan-nwa wani okwu k'eho ch'ẹhọhmmọr chẹ, ẹhọhmmọr kpenamkpen, orukhimaan-nwa wani.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.

4Idikha ẹhọhmmọr ẹn-ẹbari ebenga k'odem kwa bẹ afha achi, orukhimaan-nwa wani akyera, tte ẹhọhmmọr nduma ebhuna ttara ayokh-ẹbaanga, atzor k'ọnọngmik kwa bẹ ade. Bọng dekha orukhimaan-nwa kw'obenga ọnọng-mik, atzor k'ekkema ch'ọnọng-ọnọng óchi.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.

5Nden sa bọng átzima, sẹ ngaambi nde adimpẹ p'ade cho wani, sa nni ekhem mbiri ndima. Bọng afha atzekha k'arukhimaan, ayongi mẹ, bọng dekha k'avu.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Bọng kkeri sẹ maa, opyiri k'ẹchọhkha ch'ewu ch'ettonga ọhawani kwa chi ch'ophe nwa, kw'anọng p'Israẹl biphyir akhaambi ayẹk sẹ ndọngi.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.

7Mẹ wọ, bẹ átzọkha izi rani áphyokha k'akhaan-akhaan, ọmaana k'ebir-ebir kwa mkpọmmachi s'amma p'ihohm sa bẹ áwobha áchi, nden nna.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.

8M'erungiwu nduma dani, bẹ atzima akwọngitzọhng p'ajobh-ojobhi, achi nden nnuma sa bẹ abhaabhi k'ekpon. Tte bẹ achi ttara brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Bọng chẹ ekhekhebhi kàchi, bọng chẹ kàbira awọhn ttara asi. Yina, bọng mabh eho, ọmaana mmo, ttara ettongakpo k'ekpon.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.

10Bọng chi chẹ akyera yina ewu ehobha. Idikha kpenamkpen emung, ewu ewobh, bọng akhaambi akwọmi chẹ ọkwọmi.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Ma wọ ode odem kwa bọng áchi chẹ; bọng kpaama odikpa ka nwura sabọng, bọng akhe ekpo pya mmo, bọng atzima achikhura pa bọng ka mbọhk. Bọng chi chẹ k'ẹbhar-k'ẹbhar. Ma wọ ode ọdadaami kwa Pasova kw'ọnang kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ikpokpobha.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“M'erungiwu nduma dani, kaam ńnenga k'Ijip mfhu acheden-va p'anọngẹya biphyir, ọmaana acheden pa nden kpenampken. Kaam ḿkpaara aponga p'apyibh akha p'Ijip biphyir. Kaam wọ nde Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.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.

13Izi nna íde ẹkhọhkha ẹnang bọng k'ihọhm sa bọng awobh. Mada nne izi nnuma, kaam ńjekha bọng ojekha. Nkwuri sa ńgebha bọng kíde, mada ńsi anọng p'Ijip itzama.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“Ma wọ óde ewu ch'ojima, ch'igbọ s'íkwu k'ororo itzima isi ọdadaami inang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ikpokpobha. Ẹdadaami-wu nda ewohba ka cho kpenamkpen maa ogbe ode.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.

15K'iwu izenamfa, bọng áchi brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe. Bọng nọbha yist kabọng k'ihọhm m'echedenwu, okhuri bi, idikha ọnọng kpenamkpen ochi ọchattọhk fa bẹ akhe yist, ttẹwọr m'ewu dani maa apyiri iwu izenamfa nna, bẹ akhaambi akhubh-ẹ k'ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl.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.

16M'echedenwu, ttara ewu ch'ettong nzenamfa, bọng hok ewobha ch'ikpokpobha s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. Bọng ọtzọhm m'iwu nna biphyir kasi, oyongi ọchattọhk fẹ-fẹ, fa bọng afha asi anang ọnọng kpenamkpen bi, ochi.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“Bọng si ọdadaami nwa kwa brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe, okhuri bi, m'ewu nda dọ cha kaam ndim bọng ka ngaan sabọng mbina k'Ijip. Bọng si ọdadaami nwa mach'ọdadaami kw'owobha ọnang igbọ s'íkwu k'ororo.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.

18Ttẹwọr k'ẹchọhkha ch'iwu ọhawani kwa chi s'ocheden-phe, bọng am-achi brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe maa, apyiri k'ẹchọhkha ch'ewu ch'ettong iwu ẹrọbh obhiri dani.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.

19K'iwu manda izanamfa, bọng yist k'ihọhm sabọng kahok. Ọnọng kw'ochi ọchattọhk fa bẹ akhe yist, ode ọmaana, obiro ode okhekhennọng, bẹ akhaambi, akhubh-ẹ k'ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl.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.

20Bọng ọttọhk fa bẹ akhe yist kàchi. K'ibe kpenamkpen sabọng arukhi, bọng akhaambi achi brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe.”You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs oyeri adeden-nọng p'Israẹl biphyir oben bẹ bi, “Bọng nọhng madẹdẹnwa, atza atzekha orukhimaan-nwa wani-wani, anang nhọhmmọr sabọng, bọng fhu arukhimaan-va atzima asi ọdadaami kwa Pasova.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.

22Bọng dọkha ẹraraari-pyi cha hisobh, arana k'izi sa bọng akhe k'ọkwakkama, bọng atzọkha izi rani abọra k'ebir-ebir ọmaana k'akhaan-akhaan pa mkpọmmachi s'amma. Ọnọng manda wani oningi k'iyaan oyini matzẹmaa, ewu ehobha.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.

23Mada isa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi órenga m'irek nna bi, ofhu anọng p'Ijip, óre izi nna k'ebir-ebir ọmaana k'akhaan-akhaan pa mkpọmmachi s'amma. Orenga-eden kw'obo ọbọhk kótte bi, odim k'ihọhm sabọng bi, ofhu bọng.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“Bọbọng ọmaana va pa va pabọng, akhaambi ahok ndọhna nna mach'ọphaangi kw'owobha maa, ogbe ode.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Bọng apyiri k'irerek nnuma s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ochekhi bi, ọ́nang bọng, bọng si ọdadaami nwa.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Ikhina va pabọng abọbhi bọng bi, ‘Ọdadaami nwa oyini yan o?’When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27Bọng gbaak bẹ bi, ‘Ode ọdadaami kw'ẹjafọhni cha Pasova anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'iwa ojek ihọhm s'anọng p'Israẹl k'Ijip, ọkkaana nhọhmmọr saman k'ogbe kw'iwa ofhu anọng p'Ijip.’ ” Mẹ wọ e, anọng mba arakha attima otzitzikha k'irerek, akpobha Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.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.

28Wa anọng p'Israẹl asi mach'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn ọtzọhna.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29M'orungittem, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ofhu achedenva biphyir k'Ijip, ttẹwọr k'ocheden-nwa kwa Phero, kw'ọdabhi ẹvaar, maa atza apyiri k'achedenva p'agbakkọbh-kkọhbha p'awobh k'ẹgbakkọhbh-ttọmma, ttara achedenva p'etzirakpo biphyir.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.

30Mada Phero ọmaana akhaan-nọng pẹ, ttara anọng p'Ijip biphyir aphyọbh m'erungi, wa obhoma kw'ideden owobh k'Ijip, da iwa ẹhọhmmọr en-ebekhi ch'ọnọng oni ope.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.

31M'erungi, Phero oyeri Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, oben bi, “Bọng bina! Bọng dima anọng p'Israẹl abina aji anọng paam. Bọng nọhng atza akpobha Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi macha bọng akk'aphyema.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.

32Bọng dima etzirakpo pyabọng atzima arọhng, macha bọng akk'abena. Bọng biri si-m ittabọhng.”Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Mẹ wọ, anọng p'Ijip aben anọng mba bi, bẹ asi ẹbhar-ẹbhar abina aji ẹkhọma nda, “Oni mando ode, bẹ ápope biphyir.”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!”

34Mẹ wọ, anọng mba atzini abubuma pabẹ, yina bẹ an-atzini yist atzọhkha ka mbabaang sabẹ, k'agbanggbang pa bẹ am-atzima asi brẹd, pa bẹ abhọri k'ọbara.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Wa anọng p'Israẹl asi macha Mosẹs okk'bẹ ọtzọhna, bẹ atza abọbh anọng p'Ijip asilva, ọmaana gol, ttara ọbara.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Wa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọkk'ọsa bi, anọng p'Ijip asi ọphyaam anang anọng p'Israẹl. Wa bẹ anang anọng p'Israẹl ọttọhk kpenamkpen fa bẹ abọbhi bẹ. Mẹ wọ e, bẹ achi anọng p'Ijip ọgbọm.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.

37Wa anọng p'Israẹl abina orenga ka Rameses apyiri ka Sukọt. Akhiri panọng ọmaana vava aji, ajinọng p'iwa asi orenga nwa apyiri anọng nnọhna ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh jobh.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Wa anọng adọdọk k'ọhaabh, ọmaana etzirakpo k'ọhaabh, arukhimaan ọmaana avu abira atzọn bẹ abẹ m'orenga nwa.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Wa bẹ atzọkha abubuma pa bẹ akk'atzima bina k'Ijip asi brẹd kwa bẹ ani yist akhe. Wa abubuma mba yist kakhaam, okhuri da iwa bẹ an-akhubhi bẹ okhubh k'Ijip, bẹ ogbe dọk kakhaam kwa bẹ atzim awọhn ọchattọhk fabẹ.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.

40Biphyir-phyir wa anọng p'Israẹl arukhi cho ẹnọhna obhiri ẹrọbh obhiri jobh k'Ijip.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Mẹ ewu nduma ch'ettong cho ẹnọhna obhiri ẹrọbh obhiri jobh, wa anọng p'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ka ngaan sabẹ, abina aji Ijip.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Da iwa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okkeri erungiwu nduma, ifha otzima bẹ obina k'Ijip, erungiwu nda dọ ch'anọng p'Israẹl biphyir ám-akkeri, atzima anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ikpokpobha, k'igbọ kpenamkpen s'íkwu k'ororo.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.

43Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn bi, “Ma wọ ode ndọhna s'ikhuri ọchattọhk f'ọdadaami kwa Pasova. “Tte okhekhennọng manda wani oningi fẹ ochi.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Obira kpenamkpen kwa bọng akk'adebha ofha ochi fẹ ochi, bọng akk'ẹ ọkpakkọrikkọ asa.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Yina, okhekhennọng kw'orukhi mẹ, ọmaana ọtzọhmnọng kwa bẹ abheri ọtzọhm, bẹ kakhaambi ochi fẹ.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46“Bọng akhaambi achi fẹ k'ọhọhm ẹtzaanga, bọng etzen manda dani katzima ayin k'iyaan. Bọng ọkhọbhi manda wani kavọhkhi.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.

47Ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl biphyir ẹkhaambi esi ọdadaami nwa.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48“Okhekhennọng kw'orukhi ttara bọng, kw'ọdaakh-ẹ bi, ira osi Ọdadaami nwa ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, ọkhaambi osi ajinọng p'ọhọhm kwẹ biphyir ọkpakkọrikkọ. Mẹ wọ, kẹ ofha osi ọdadaami nwa mach'ọnọng wani kw'ode ọmaana kw'irek nna. Tte ọnọng kwa bẹ ani ọkpakkọrikkọ asi oningi ochi.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.

49Aphaangi mba awobh anang ammaana, ttara akhekhennọng p'arukhi ttara bọng.”The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Wa anọng p'Israẹl biphyir asi mach'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn ọtzọhna.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Mẹ ewu nduma dani, wa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi otzima anọng p'Israẹl ka ngaan sabẹ obina k'Ijip.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
