Exodus 12 (SHR)

1Nyakasane anacibwîra Mûsa na Aroni omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri, erhi:Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2«Kuli mwe, ogu mwêzi gwo gwabà murhanzi gw’emyêzi yoshi, gwo gwabà murhanzi gw’omwâka.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3“Muhamagale Bene-Israheli boshi, mubabwîre, mpu: Omu nsiku ikumi za guno mwêzi, ngasi baguma omu nyumpa barhôle omwâna-buzi”.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.

4“Abankabona bali banyi omu nyumpa b’okuyusa omwâna-buzi, bamulye haguma n’abalungu babali hôfi, nka kulya abantu banali. Mucîshoge oyo mwâna-buzi omu lugero lwa ngasi muguma lw’okulya”.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.

5“Abè mwâna-buzi orhalikwo izâbyo, ciganda-buzi ca mwâka muguma. Murhôle omu bâna-buzi erhi omu bâna-hene”.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6“Mumubike kuhika olusiku lwa kali ikumi na kani lwa guno mwêzi. Bene-Israheli boshi bayishimubâga aha karhî k’ebijingo byombi”.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.

7“Bayish’iyanka oku mukò gwâge: bahembe ebizimbêro byombi n’omulungulungu gw’enyumpa bâlîramwo”.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.

8“Mw’obwo budufu balya enyama yâge. Bayirya nyôce, haguma n’emigati erhalimwo lwango n’enshogo ndulu”.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9“Ntâco mumulyagekwo cibishi erhi ciyende, ci biyôce byône, haguma n’irhwe n’amagulu n’eby’omu nda”.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.

10“Ntâco musizagyakwo kuhika sêzi; erhi hankabà ebisigîre sêzi munabidûlike muliro”.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11“Mumulye ntya: mushwêkere omukaba omu cibunu, muhire enkwêrho emagulu, munafumbarhe akarhi omu nfune. Mumulye bulibirhà. Oyo ye Basâka wa Nyakasane”.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“Mw’obwo budufu nâgera omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri, njè nanigûza ngasi lubere lw’omu Mîsiri, lubè lwa muntu erhi lwa cintu. Nafendûla banyamuzinda b’obwîhambe b’omu Mîsiri boshi. Nie Nyakasane”.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.

13“Omukò gwabà cimanyîso c’enyumpa mulimwo: nayîsh’ibona omukò, mmurhalukire, n’obuhanya burhâmujekwo hano nkola nâshûrha ecihugo c’e Mîsiri”.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“Olwo lusiku mulujire lwa kukengêrwa, lubè lusiku lukulu lwa Nyakasane. Kurhenga oku iburha kuhika oku lindi, mulujire lubè luzira lw’ensiku n’amango.”»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«“Mushinge nsiku nda zoshi mwalya emigati erhalimwo lwango. Kurhangirira oku lusiku lurhanzi, murhenze ngasi lwango omu nyumpa zinyu. Ngasi yêshi wanalye omugati gulimwo olwango kurhenga oku lusiku lurhanzi kuhika oku lwa kali nda, oyo akagwe muli Bene-Israheli”.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.

16“Omu lusiku lurhanzi, mukâjira endêko ntagatîfu. Omu lusiku lwa kali nda, kwo na kuguma. Mw’ezo nsiku ntâye wahumaga akabishi, ci mukâkola ebi mwâlya byône”.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“Mukâjira bwinjà olusiku lukulu lw’emigati erhalimwo olwango, bulya mw’olwo lusiku, lwo narhenzagyamwo emirhwe yinyu omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri. Mukâjira olwo lusiku kurhenga oku iburha kuhika oku lindi, liri irhegeko ly’ensiku n’amango”.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.

18“Omu mwêzi murhanzi, bijingo, mukaz’irya emigati erhalimwo lwango kuhika bijingo by’olusiku lwa kali makumi abiri na luguma lw’omwêzi”.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.

19“Nsiku nda zoshi olwango lurhabonekanaga omu nyumpa zinyu. Na ngasi yêshi wankalya omugati gulimwo olwango, abè cigolo erhi muburhwa w’omu cihugo, oyo anakagwe omu mulungano gwa Bene-Israheli”.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.

20“Murhahîraga mukalya akantu kalimwo olwango.”»You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Mûsa anacihamagala abagula b’Israheli boshi, ababwîra, erhi: «“Mujè omu bintu binyu, murhôlere emilala yinyu omwâna-buzi, mubâgire Basâka”.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.

22“Muyîsh’irhôla ebikângûlo by’ebyâsi, mubivûmvuze omu mukò guli omu mbêhe, mushahulize oku mulungulungu n’oku bizimbêro byombi, na ntâye watwâga olusò lw’enyumpa yâge kuhika sêzi”.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.

23“Nyakasane àrhulukâna omu Mîsiri, àja anigûza, âyîsh’ibona omukò oku mulungulungu n’oku bizimbêro byombi. Obwo, Nyakasane âgera aha mwinyu arhanazige Kaheza ajà omu nyumpa zinyu mpu ayîrhe”.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“Okwo kwoshi mukubîkirire: liri irhegeko kuli mwe n’oku bâna binyu ensiku zoshi”.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25“Amango mwâhike omu cihugo Nyakasane âmmuhà nk’oku anaderhaga, munakengêre eco cijiro”.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26“Amango abâna binyu bâmudôsa”, mpu: “Co cijiro cici eci mukâjira?”When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27“Munabashuze”, erhi: “Eri nterekêro ya Basâka, ya Nyakasane, ye wacizagya enyumpa za bene-Israheli e Mîsiri, amango àmalîraga Mîsiri anafungira enyumpa zîrhu.”» Olubaga lwafukama, lwaharâmya.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.

28Bene-Israheli bàgenda, bajira nk’oku Nyakasane àrhegekaga Mûsa na Aroni; ntyo kwo bajizire.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Aha karhî k’obudufu, Nyakasane ànigûza ngasi lubere omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri, kurhangirira oku nfula ya Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri yànkayîmire oku ntebe yâge, kuhika oku nfula y’omujà oli omu mpamikwa, ngasi lubere lw’ebintu.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.

30Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri àzûka mw’obwo budufu, n’abambali bâge n’Abanya-Mîsiri boshi; omu Mîsiri mwazûka ecihôgêro cinene, bulya ntà nyumpa erhàliwo mufù.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.

31Mw’obwo budufu, Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri ahamagala Mûsa na Aroni, ababwîra, erhi: «Zûki! Murhenge ekarhî k’olubaga lwâni, mwe na bene-Israheli. Mugende, muj’ikolera Nyakasane nk’oku mwanaderhaga.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.

32N’ebibuzi binyu n’enkafu zinyu, mubihêke nka kulya mwanaderhaga. Mugende, munansengerere omugisho nâni!»Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Abanya-Mîsiri bàrhunika olubaga mpu lurhenge duba omu cihugo, bulya bakâg’iderha mpu: «Rhwahwa rhweshi!»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!”

34Olubaga lwajà lwahêka emigati erhàlicibumbugurha, bàshana enyungu yalimwo omu birondo byâbo, bàyibarhula oku birhugo.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Bene-Israheli bajira nk’oku Mûsa ababwîraga: bàli bahûnyire Abanya-Mîsiri ebirugu by’amarhale, ebirugu by’amasholo n’emyambalo.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36Nyakasane erhi abarhabîre okurhona emwa Abanya-Mîsiri, bayêmêra okubahà ngasi ebi bàbahûnaga. Ntyo banyaga Abanya-Mîsiri.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.

37Bene-Israheli bàgenda kurhenga e Ramusesi kuhika e Sukoti, hôfi bihumbi magana gali ndarhu bya bagenzi b’amagulu, balume buzira kuganja abâna.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Engabo erhali nyi y’abantu ba ngasi lubero yagenzikanwa nabo, n’amasò manji g’enkafu n’ebibuzi.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Erya migati erhàlicibumbugurha bàkûlaga e Mîsiri, bàyikalanga, yàbà bitumbura birhalimwo olwango bulya enshâno erhàlicibumbugurha. Barhalindaga babona amango g’okuhêka olwîko, bulya kulibirhwa bàlibisirwekwo e Mîsiri.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.

40Emyâka yoshi Bene-Israheli bâgezize omu Mîsiri yali magana anni na makumi asharhu.Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41N’erhi eyo myâka magana anni na makumi asharhu egera, olwo lusiku lwonênè, engabo za Nyakasane zoshi zarhenga e Mîsiri.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Obwo budufu, Nyakasane àyiza mpu lyo abarhenza e Mîsiri. Obwo budufu bubà bwa Nyakasane, buli bwa kuyiza-kuli Bene-Israheli, kurhenga iburha kuhika oku lindi.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.

43Nyakasane anacibwîra Mûsa na Aroni, erhi: «Alagi obulyo mwakâjiramwo Basâka: harhajiraga ecigolo camulyakwo.And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44Ngasi mujà wagulagwa, onamukembûle abul’irya Basâka.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45N’oli omubunga erhi mulimya, barhamulyagakwo.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Omu nyumpa nguma mwonene bakaz’imulira, na ntà kuhêka enyama embuga. Murhahîra mukavuna orhuvuha.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.

47Olubaga lwa Bene-Israheli lwoshi lukâjira Basâka.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Akabà hali omubunga w’oku mwinyu walonza okugashâniza Basâka wa Nyakasane, ngasi mulume w’aha mwâge anakembûlwe, lyoki ankayegera, amugashânize, bulya akola nka muburhwa w’omu cihugo. Ci barhajiraga entakembûlwa ciru n’enguma yamulyâkwo.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.

49Irhegeko libè lyo na lirya oku muburhwa w’omu cihugo n’oku mubunga ôbà muli mwe.»The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Bene-Israheli bàjira ntyo. Bajira kulya kwo na nênè Nyakasane àrhegekaga Mûsa na Aroni.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Mw’olwo lusiku lwonênè, Nyakasane àrhenza Bene-Israheli omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri, nk’oku emirhwe yâbo yanali.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
