Exodus 12 (MKW)

1Yave tubaka na Moyize na Aloni na yinsi ya Ngipiti:Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2«Ngonda yayi ke vwanda ngonda ya ntete samu na beno. Ni yawu beno ke tula na mbandukulu ya mvula.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Beno zonza na mukangu nyonso ya Isayeli mutindu yayi: Na kilumbu ya kumi ya ngonda yayi, konso dikanda ke baka dimeme to nkombo mosi na konso yinzo.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.

4Kana lutangu ya bantu ya dikanda kele fyoti samu na kudya kibulu mosi, bantu yango fwana kuvukana na bantu ya yinzo ya mpangi yina kele pene-pene, mutindu kele lutangu ya bantu ya kudikila. Beno ke soola kibulu ya kufwanana mutindu kele kitezo yina konso muntu lenda kudya.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.

5Yawu ke vwanda kibulu ya mbakala yina kele ve na kifuma, yina kele na mvula mosi. Beno ke baka yawu na kati ya mameme to bankombo.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Beno ke tula yawu na lweka tii na kilumbu ya kumi na yiya ya ngonda yayi. Na kati ya mukangu nyonso ya Isayeli, ba ke zenga balaka ya bibulu yina, na nkokila, tekila ntangu kudyama.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.

7Beno ke baka menga ya kibulu, beno ke kusa yawu na makunzi zole ya mwelo, mpe na dibaya ya zulu ya mwelo, na konso yinzo yina ba ke kudya kibulu.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.

8Beno ke kudya mbisi yango na mpimpa yina. Beno ke kudya yawu ya kuyoka, na mampa yina kele ve na levule, mpe na ndunda ya ndudi.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Beno ke kudya ve mbisi ya nkunzu to yina ba me lambila na maza. Kasi kaka yina ba me yoka na tiya, na yintu nyonso, na makulu, mpe na bima yina kele na kati ya kivumu.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.

10Beno ke bumba ata ndambu ve samu na kilumbu yina ke landa. Mbisi yina ke kuma tii na suka, beno ke yoka yawu.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Beno ke kudya yawu mutindu yayi: mukaba na luketo, mapapa na makulu, mpe yinti na maboko. Beno ke kudya yawu na mbangu nyonso. Yawu kele Paki ya Yave.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«Mu ke tambula na yinsi ya Ngipiti na mpimpa yina, mpe mu ke kufwa konso mwana ya ntete ya bakala ya yinsi ya Ngipiti, kubanda na bantu tii na bibulu. Mu ke fundisa binzambi-nzambi nyonso ya Ngipiti. Mu kele Yave.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.

13Menga yina ke vwanda na myelo ya bayinzo ya beno ke vwanda kidimbu samu na beno. Ntangu mu ke tala menga, mu ke luta na zulu ya beno. Kitembo ya lufwa ke kuzwa beno ve ntangu mu ke semba yinsi ya Ngipiti.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«Kilumbu yina ke vwanda samu na beno kilumbu ya kubambuka moyo. Bantangu nyonso, na kilumbu yina, beno ke sala mukembo yayi samu na Yave. Yawu kele musiku ya bantangu nyonso samu na konso mbandu: beno ke sala mukembo yayi.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.

15«Mpe dyaka, na bilumbu nsambwadi, beno ke kudya mampa yina ba me funisa ve. Katuka kilumbu ya ntete, beno ke katula levule na kati ya bayinzo ya beno. Samu ti kubanda na kilumbu ya ntete tii na kilumbu ya nsambwadi, konso muntu yina ke kudya dimpa yina ke na levule, ba ke katula yandi na mukangu ya bantu ya Isayeli.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.

16Na kilumbu ya ntete, beno ke sala lukutakanu ya longo. Na kilumbu ya nsambwadi mpe, beno ke sala lukutakanu ya longo. Na bilumbu zole yina, beno ke sala ata kisalu mosi ve, kasi beno ke lamba kaka madya ya kitezo ya konso muntu.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«Beno ke sala mukembo ya mampa yina kele ve na levule, samu na kubambuka moyo ya kilumbu yina mu basisaka mikangu ya beno na yinsi ya Ngipiti. Beno ke zitisa kilumbu yango na konso mbandu. Yawu kele musiku ya bantangu nyonso.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 ngonda yango ya ntete, na nkokila ya kilumbu ya kumi na yiya, beno ke kudya mampa yina kele ve na levule tii na nkokila ya kilumbu ya makumi zole na mosi.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.

19Na bilumbu nsambwadi, levule kuvwanda ve na bayinzo ya beno. Kana muntu me kudya kima yina ke na levule, ya vwanda nzenza to mu-Isayeli, ba fwana kukatula yandi na mukangu ya bantu ya Isayeli.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.

20Beno kudya ata kima ve yina kele na levule. Bisika nyonso yina beno ke vwanda, beno kudya mampa yina ba me funisa ve.»You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Na yina, Moyize bokilaka bakuluntu nyonso ya Isayeli, mpe yandi zonzaka na bawu: «Beno kwenda baka mameme to bankombo samu na makanda ya beno, mpe beno zenga bawu balaka samu na mukembo ya Paki.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.

22Beno ke baka kintala ya mukwisa, mpe beno ke bondika yawu na kati ya menga ya kibulu yina kele na dibola. Beno kusa menga yango na dibaya ya zulu ya myelo, mpe na makunzi zole ya myelo ya kukotila. Ata muntu mosi ve kubasika na yinzo ya yandi tekila bwisi kutsya,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.

23samu ti Yave ke tambula na yinsi ya Ngipiti samu na kusemba yinsi ya Ngipiti. Yandi ke tala menga na dibaya ya zulu ya myelo, mpe na makunzi zole ya myelo. Na yina, yandi ke luta na zulu ya beno. Yandi ke bika ve ti mbazi yina ke pesaka lufwa kukota na bayinzo ya beno, samu na kutalisa beno mpasi.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.

24Beno ke zitisa nyonso yina. Yawu kele ntumunu samu na nge, mpe samu na bana ya nge, bantangu nyonso.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Ntangu beno ke kota na yinsi yina Yave ke pesa beno mutindu yandi zonzaka, beno fwana kusadilaka mukembo yayi.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Ntangu bana ya beno ke yufula beno: “Yinki zola kutuba mukembo yayi beno ke na kusala?”When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27Beno ke vutula: “Yawu kele munkayulu ya Paki samu na Yave. Yandi lutaka na zulu ya bayinzo ya bana ya Isayeli kuna na yinsi ya Ngipiti. Ntangu yandi talisaka Ngipiti mpasi, yandi kuulaka bayinzo ya beto”.» Na yina, bana ya Isayeli fukamaka, mpe sambilaka.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.

28Bawu telamaka mpe vutukaka. Bawu salaka mbote-mbote mutindu Yave tumisaka na Moyize mpe na Aloni. Ni mutindu yina bawu salaka.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Na kati-kati ya mpimpa, Yave salaka ti konso mwana ya ntete ya bakala ya yinsi ya Ngipiti kufwa, kubanda na mwana ya ntete ya bakala ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, yina fwanaka vwanda na kiti ya kintinu, tii na mwana ya ntete ya bakala ya muntu yina kele ya kukangama na boloko, mpe na konso bana ya ntete ya bibulu.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.

30Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, telamaka na mpimpa yina, yandi na bantu yina ke salaka na yandi, na bantu nyonso ya Ngipiti. Bidilu ya nene wakanaka na yinsi ya Ngipiti samu ti ata yinzo mosi ve kondwaka mvumbi.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 mpimpa yina, yandi bokilaka Moyize na Aloni, mpe yandi tubaka: «Beno telama, beno basika na kati ya bantu ya munu, beno na bana ya Isayeli. Beno kwenda, beno kwenda sadila Yave mutindu beno zonzaka.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.

32Beno baka mpe bangombe ya beno, mameme na bankombo ya beno mutindu beno zonzaka. Beno kwenda mpe beno lombila munu lusakumunu.»Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Bantu ya yinsi ya Ngipiti vwandaka tumisa bantu ya Isayeli na kubasika na mbangu-mbangu, mpe na kubika yinsi ya bawu, samu ti bantu ya Ngipiti vwandaka zonza ti kana bawu basika ve, beto ke kufwa beto nyonso.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!”

34Ni yawu yina, bantu ya Isayeli kuzwaka mpe ve ntangu ya kuvimbisa biputi ya mampa. Bawu bakaka mpe biyunga ya bawu samu na kukanga bipaki ya bawu, mpe bawu tulaka yawu na magembo.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Bana ya Isayeli salaka mutindu Moyize tubaka. Bawu lombaka na bantu ya Ngipiti bima ya wolo, bima ya palata, mpe na binkuti.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Yave salaka ti bantu ya Isayeli kuzwa lusalusu ya bantu ya Ngipiti. Bantu ya Ngipiti pesaka bantu ya Isayeli nyonso yina ba lombaka. Ni mutindu yina bantu ya Isayeli bakaka bimvwama nyonso ya bantu ya Ngipiti.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.

37Bana ya Isayeli katukaka na mbanza Lamesese na kukwenda na mbanza Sukote. Lutangu ya bantu vwandaka keba ve mafunda bankama sambanu (600 000) ya babakala yina lendaka nwana na kwendaka tambula, kutanga ve bakento, na bana mpe biboba.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Bawu kwendaka mpe na bantu mingi ya bandinga ya nkaka. Bawu nataka bangombe, mameme na bankombo, yina salaka mukangu ya nene ya bibulu.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Bana ya Isayeli lambaka bagato yina vwandaka ve na levule na kiputi yina katukaka na bawu na Ngipiti, yina vwandaka ve ya kuvimba. Samu ti na ntangu ba bingisaka bawu na Ngipiti, bawu kuzwaka ve ntangu ya kukubika madya ya nzyetolo ya bawu.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.

40Lutangu ya bamvula yina bana ya Isayeli lutisaka na yinsi ya Ngipiti vwandaka bankama yiya na makumi tatu (430).Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Na manima ya bamvula bankama yiya na makumi tatu (430), na kilumbu yina, mikangu nyonso ya dikanda ya Yave basikaka na yinsi ya Ngipiti.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Yave salaka mpimpa ya muvimba na kubasisaka bawu na yinsi ya Ngipiti. Mpimpa yina kele mpimpa ya Yave. Yawu fwana kuvwanda mpe mpimpa ya kulala ve, samu na bana nyonso ya Isayeli, na bambandu nyonso.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.

43Yave tubaka na Moyize na Aloni: «Beno tala, bansalulu ya kulanda samu na mukembo ya Paki ni yayi: Ata nzenza mosi ke kudya yawu.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Mundongo yina ba me sumba na mbongo ke banda na kudya yawu kaka na manima ya kuzengisa bubakala ya yandi.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Ata nzenza mosi ve ya mwa ntangu to kisadi yina ba ke futaka lenda kudya yawu.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Beno kudya musuni na kati ya yinzo, mpe beno basisa yawu na ngaanda ve. Beno kubuka ve mikwa ya kibulu.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.

47Mukangu nyonso ya Isayeli fwana kukembila mukembo yayi.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Kana nzenza yina ke vwandaka na yinzo ya nge zola kukembila Paki samu na Yave, bika ti babakala nyonso ya yinzo ya yandi kuzengisa ntete bubakala ya bawu. Na manima, yandi lenda sala mukembo yango. Yandi ke vwanda mutindu mwana ya Isayeli. Kasi ata muntu mosi ve yina ba me zenga ve bubakala lenda kudya yawu.»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.

49«Musiku ya mukembo yayi ke vwanda kaka mosi, samu na bana ya Isayeli mpe samu na banzenza yina ke zingaka na beno.»The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Bana nyonso ya Isayeli salaka mutindu yina. Bawu salaka mbote-mbote mutindu Yave tumisaka na Moyize na Aloni na kusala.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Ni na kilumbu yina, Yave basisaka bana ya Isayeli na yinsi ya Ngipiti, mutindu mukangu ya binwani.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
