Êxodo 12

Te Kapenga Tuatahi

1 Ā, i kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona i te whenua o Īhipa, i mea: 2 "Ko tēnei marama hei marama tīmatanga ki a koutou; hei tīmatanga tēnei mō ngā marama o tō koutou tau. 3 Kōrero ki te huihuinga katoa o Īharaira, mea atu, Hei te tekau o ngā rā o tēnei marama, me tango he reme mā rātou e tēnei, e tēnei, kia rite ki ngā whare o ngā mātua, he whare, he reme. 4 Ā ki te tokoouou te whare mō te reme, mā rāua ko tōna hoa noho tata ki tōna whare e tango, kia rite ki te tokomaha o ngā tāngata; whakaritea te tokomaha o ngā tāngata mō te reme ki te kai a tēnei, a tēnei. 5 Kei whai koha tā koutou reme, hei te toa, hei te tau tahi; tangohia mai i ngā hipi, i ngā koati rānei. 6 Ā, me tiaki e koutou taea noatia te tekau mā whā o ngā rā o tēnei marama; ā, mā te huihui katoa o tō Īharaira whakaminenga e patu i te ahiahi. 7 Ā, me tango e rātou tētahi wāhi o ngā toto, ka tā atu ai ki ngā pou e rua, ki te kōrupe hoki o te tatau o ngā whare e kainga ai tēnā mea e rātou. 8 Ā, me kai te kikokiko i taua pō anō, he mea tunu ki te ahi, he taro rēwenakore hoki; he pūwhā kawa hoki tā rātou e kīnaki ai ki taua mea. 9 Kaua tētahi wāhi e kainga matatia, he mea kōhua rānei ki te wai, engari kia tunua ki te ahi; ko tōna pane, ko ōna waewae, me ōna whēkau. 10 Kaua hoki e whakatoea tētahi wāhi ōna ki te ata; ā, ko te wāhi ōna e toe ki te ata, tahuna ki te ahi. 11 Ā, me pēnei tā koutou kai i taua mea; kia whītikiria ō koutou hope, hei ō koutou waewae ō koutou hū, ko ā koutou tokotoko hoki ki ō koutou ringaringa; kia hohoro hoki te kai. Ko te Kapenga hoki a Ihowā tēnā.

12 "Tā te mea ka tika ahau rā waenganui o te whenua o Īhipa i taua pō, ka patu hoki i ngā mātāmua katoa i te whenua o Īhipa, i te tangata ā tae iho ana ki te kararehe; ā, ka puta āku whakawā ki ngā atua katoa o Īhipa. Ko Ihowā ahau. 13 Ā, hei tohu mō koutou te toto i ngā whare e noho ai koutou; ā, ka kite ahau i te toto, ka kape ahau i a koutou, e kore anō hoki te whiu e pā ki a koutou hei whakamate, ina patu ahau i te whenua o Īhipa.

14 "Ā, hei whakamaharatanga mō koutou tēnei rā; hei konei koutou tuku ai i te hākari ki a Ihowā, tuku iho ki ō koutou whakatupuranga; ko te ture tēnei ake nei, ake nei, kia hākaritia e koutou tēnei rā. 15 E whitu ngā rā e kai ai koutou i te taro rēwenakore; hei te rā tuatahi anō ka whakakorea ai te rēwena o ō koutou whare; tā te mea ki te kai tētahi i te taro rēwena i te rā tuatahi, ā taea noatia te whitu o ngā rā, ka hātepea atu taua wairua i roto i a Īharaira. 16 Hei te rā tuatahi hoki he huihuinga tapu, hei te rā tuawhitu hoki he huihuinga tapu mō koutou; kaua tētahi mahi e mahia i aua rā; heoi anō ko te kai mā tēnei, mā tēnei, tā koutou e raweke ai.

17 "Kia mau hoki ki te Hākari o te Taro Rēwenakore; nō te mea, nō tēnei rangi pū anō i whakaputaina ai e ahau ō koutou rōpū i te whenua o Īhipa. Mō konei, kia mau ki tēnei rā, i ō koutou whakatupuranga; hei tikanga tēnei ake ake. 18 Hei te marama tuatahi, hei te kotahi tekau mā whā o ngā rā, i te ahiahi, ka kai koutou i te taro rēwenakore, ā tae noa ki te rua tekau mā tahi o ngā rā o te marama, i te ahiahi. 19 Kaua he rēwena e kitea ki ō koutou whare i ngā rā e whitu; tā te mea ki te kai tētahi i te mea kua rēwenatia, inā, ka hātepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui o Īharaira, ahakoa tangata kē, ahakoa tangata whenua rānei. 20 Kaua e kainga tētahi mea kua rēwenatia; hei te taro rēwenakore he kai mā koutou i ō koutou nohoanga katoa."

21 Nā, ka karanga a Mohi ki ngā kaumātua katoa o Īharaira, ka mea ki a rātou, "Tīkina, tangohia mai mā koutou he reme, kia rite ki ō koutou whānau, patua hoki te Kapenga. 22 Ā, tangohia he paihere hihopa, ka tuku ki te toto i te peihana, nā, ka tātā atu i te kōrupe me ngā pou e rua ki te toto i te peihana; kaua hoki tētahi o koutou e puta ki waho o te kūwaha o tōna whare, ā taea noatia te ata. 23 He mea hoki, ka haere atu a Ihowā ki te patu i ngā Īhipiana; ā, ka kite ia i te toto i te kōrupe, i ngā pou e rua hoki, ka kapea e Ihowā te kūwaha, e kore hoki e tukua e ia te kaiwhakamate kia haere ki roto ki ō koutou whare patu ai.

24 "Kia mau hoki ki tēnei mea, hei ture mōu, mō āu tamariki, ake ake. 25 Ā tēnei ake, ā te wā e tae ai koutou ki te whenua e hōmai e Ihowā ki a koutou, ki tāna i kōrero ai, nā, kia mau ki tēnei mahi. 26 Ā tēnei ake, ki te mea ā koutou tamariki ki a koutou, ‘He aha tēnei e mahia nei e koutou?’ 27 Nā, ka mea atu, ‘Ko te patunga rā i tā Ihowā Kapenga, nāna rā i kape ngā whare o ngā tama a Īharaira i Īhipa, i a ia i patu ai i ngā Īhipiana, ā, whakaorangia ake ō mātou whare.’ " Nā, tuohu ana te iwi, koropiko ana.

28 Nā, ka haere ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, mea ana i tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, pērā ana rātou.

Te Matenga o ngā Mātāmua

29 Nāwai ā, ka waenganui pō, nā, patua ana e Ihowā ngā mātāmua katoa i te whenua o Īhipa, te mātāmua a Parao e noho ana i runga i tōna torōna, ā tae iho ana ki te mātāmua a te herehere i roto i te whare herehere; me ngā mātāmua katoa a te kararehe. 30 Nā, ka maranga ake a Parao i te pō, rātou ko āna tāngata katoa, ko ngā Īhipiana katoa; nā, he nui te tangi i Īhipa; kāhore hoki he whare i kore te tūpāpaku. 31 Nā, ka karanga ia ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona i te pō, ā, ka mea, "Whakatika, haere atu i roto i tōku iwi, koutou ko ngā tama a Īharaira; haere ki te mahi ki a Ihowā, ki te pērā me tā koutou i kī ai. 32 Tangohia hoki ā koutou hipi, ā koutou kau hoki, ā koutou i kī ai, ā, haere atu; me manaaki anō hoki i ahau."

Te Putanga atu a Īharaira i a Īhipa

33 Ā, akiaki ana ngā Īhipiana ki te iwi, kia tonoa wawetia atu ai rātou i te whenua; i mea hoki rātou, "Ka mate katoa tātou." 34 Ā, maua atu ana e te iwi tā rātou, parāoa pokepoke, i te mea kāhore anō i rēwenatia noatia, he mea takai ā rātou pokepokenga parāoa ki ō rātou kākahu, nā, kei ō rātou pokohiwi. 35 Nā, ka pērā ngā tama a Īharaira me tā Mohi i kī ai; nā, kei te tono mea hiriwa, mea kōura, kākahu, i ngā Īhipiana. 36 Ā, nā Ihowā i mea kia paingia te iwi e ngā Īhipiana, ā, hōmai ana e rātou; ā, pāhuatia ana e rātou ngā Īhipiana.

37 Nā, ka tūria mai e ngā tama a Īharaira i Ramehehe ki Hukota, tata tonu ngā tāne ki ngā mano e ono rau, he mea haere i raro, hāunga ngā tamariki. 38 He nui te whakauru i haere i a rātou; me te hipi, me te kau, he tini kē te kararehe. 39 Ā, tunua iho e rātou ētahi taro rēwenakore i te parāoa pokepoke i maua atu e rātou i Īhipa, kāhore hoki i rēwenatia; nō te mea hoki i peia rātou i Īhipa, kīhai hoki i āhei te noho iho, kīhai hoki rātou i taka i te ō mō rātou.

40 Nā, ko te nohoanga o ngā tama a Īharaira, i noho rā ki Īhipa, e whā rau e toru tekau ngā tau. 41 Ā, i te mutunga o ngā tau e whā rau e toru tekau, i taua rā pū anō, nā, ka puta ngā mano katoa o Ihowā i te whenua o Īhipa. 42 Ka maharatia taua pō nei, hei mea ki a Ihowā, mō tō rātou whakaputanga i te whenua o Īhipa. Ko taua pō tēnei o Ihowā hei maharatanga mā ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, i ō rātou whakatupuranga.

Te Tikanga mō te Kapenga

43 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, "Ko te tikanga tēnei mō te Kapenga: Kaua tētahi tangata kē e kai i tēnā mea; 44 engari, ngā pononga katoa a te tangata i utua ki te moni, kia oti te kokoti e koe, ka kai ai i tēnā mea. 45 Kaua te manene, te kaimahi rānei, e kai i tēnā mea.

46 "Kia kotahi te whare e kainga ai; kaua e mauria tētahi wāhi o te kikokiko ki waho i te whare; kaua hoki e whatia tētahi wheua ōna. 47 Mā te huihuinga katoa o Īharaira tēnā mahi.

48 "Nā, he tangata kē e noho ana i a koe, ā, ka mahi i te Kapenga a Ihowā, kotia āna tāne katoa, kātahi ka whakatata ai ia ki tēnā mahi; ā, ka rite ki te tangata whenua. Kei kainga e te kokotikore. 49 Kia kotahi anō te ture mō te tangata whenua rāua ko te tangata kē e noho ana i roto i a koutou."

50 Nā, ka pērā ngā tama katoa a Īharaira me tā Ihowā i ako ai ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona; pērā ana rātou. 51 Nā, nō taua rā pū anō i whakaputaina mai ai e Ihowā ngā tama a Īharaira i te whenua o Īhipa, tēnei rōpū, tēnei rōpū o rātou.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household: 4 and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 11 And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah’s passover. 12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Jehovah. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you. 17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land. 20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which Jehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went and did so; as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

29 And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said. 32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men. 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36 and Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals. 40 Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Jehovah, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

43 And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no foreigner eat thereof; 44 but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45 A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 49 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
