1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2 Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.

3 Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

4 And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.

5 Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

6 Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

7 Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

8 And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.

9 Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.

10 Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.

11 And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

12 For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

13 And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.

14 And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.

15 For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.

16 And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.

17 So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.

18 In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.

19 For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.

20 Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.

21 Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.

22 And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.

23 For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.

24 And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.

25 And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.

26 And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?

27 Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.

28 And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.

29 And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.

30 Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

31 And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.

32 And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.

33 And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.

34 And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.

35 And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:

36 And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.

37 And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.

38 And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.

39 And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

40 Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.

41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

42 It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.

43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:

44 But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.

45 A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.

46 It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.

47 All Israel is to keep the feast.

48 And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.

49 The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.

50 So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.

51 And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te whenua o Ihipa, i mea,

2 Ko tenei marama hei marama timatanga ki a koutou: hei timatanga tenei mo nga marama o to koutou tau.

3 Korero ki te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira, mea atu, Hei te tekau o nga ra o tenei marama, me tango he reme ma ratou e tenei, e tenei, kia rite ki nga whare o nga matua, he whare, he reme:

4 A, ki te tokoouou te whare mo te reme, ma raua ko tona hoa noho tata ki tona whare e tango, kia rite ki te tokomaha o nga tangata; whakaritea te tokomaha o nga tangata mo te reme ki te kai a tenei, a tenei.

5 Kei whai koha ta koutou reme, hei te toa, hei te tautahi; tangohia mai i nga hipi, i nga koati ranei:

6 A me tiaki e koutou taea noatia te tekau ma wha o nga ra o tenei marama: a ma te huihui katoa o to Iharaira whakaminenga e patu i te ahiahi.

7 A me tango e ratou tetahi wahi o nga toto, ka ta atu ai ki nga pou e rua, ki te korupe hoki o te tatau o nga whare e kainga ai tena mea e ratou.

8 A me kai te kikokiko i taua po ano, he mea tunu ki te ahi, he taro rewenakore hoki; he puwha kawa hoki ta ratou e kinaki ai ki taua mea.

9 Kaua tetahi wahi e kainga matatia, he mea kohua ranei ki te wai, engari kia tunua ki te ahi; ko tona pane, ko ona waewae, me ona whekau.

10 Kaua hoki e whakatoea tetahi wahi ona ki te ata; a, ko te wahi ona e toe ki te ata, tahuna ki te ahi.

11 A me penei ta koutou kai i taua mea; kia whitikiria o koutou hope, hei o koutou waewae o koutou hu, ko a koutou tokotoko hoki ki o koutou ringaringa; kia hohoro hoki te kai: ko te kapenga hoki a Ihowa tena.

12 Ta te mea ka tika ahau ra waenganui o te whenua o Ihipa i taua po, ka patu hoki i nga matamua katoa i te whenua o Ihipa, i te tangata a tae iho ana ki te kararehe; a ka puta aku whakawa ki nga atua katoa o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau.

13 A hei tohu mo koutou te toto i nga whare e noho ai koutou; a, ka kite ahau i te toto, ka kape ahau i a koutou, e kore ano hoki te whiu e pa ki a koutou hei whakamate, ina patu ahau i te whenua o Ihipa.

14 A, hei whakamaharatanga mo koutou tenei ra; hei konei koutou tuku ai i te hakari ki a Ihowa, tuku iho ki o koutou whakatupuranga; ko te ture tenei ake nei, ake nei, kia hakaritia e koutou tenei ra.

15 E whitu nga ra e kai ai koutou i te taro rewenakore; hei te ra tuatahi ano ka whakakorea ai te rewena o o koutou whare; ta te mea ki te kai tetahi i te taro rewena i te ra tuatahi, a taea noatia te whitu o nga ra, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i ro to i a Iharaira.

16 Hei te ra tuatahi hoki he huihuinga tapu, hei te ra tuawhitu hoki he huihuinga tapu mo koutou; kaua tetahi mahi e mahia i aua ra; heoi ano ko te kai ma tenei, ma tenei, ta koutou e raweke ai.

17 Kia mau hoki ki te hakari o te taro rewenakore; no te mea, no tenei rangi pu ano i whakaputaina ai e ahau o koutou ropu i te whenua o Ihipa: mo konei, kia mau ki tenei ra, i o koutou whakatupuranga; hei tikanga tenei ake ake.

18 Hei te marama tuatahi, hei te kotahi tekau ma wha o nga ra, i te ahiahi, ka kai koutou i te taro rewenakore, a tae noa ki te rua tekau ma tahi o nga ra o te marama, i te ahiahi.

19 Kaua he rewena e kitea ki o koutou whare i nga ra e whitu; ta te mea ki te kai tetahi i te mea kua rewenatia, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui o Iharaira, ahakoa tangata ke, ahakoa tangata whenua ranei.

20 Kaua e kainga tetahi mea kua rewenatia; hei te taro rewenakore he kai ma koutou i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

21 Na ka karanga a Mohi ki nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, Tikina, tangohia mai ma koutou he reme, kia rite ki o koutou whanau, patua hoki te kapenga.

22 A tangohia he paihere hihopa, ka tuku ki te toto i te peihana, na ka tata atu i te korupe me nga pou e rua ki te toto i te peihana; kaua hoki tetahi o koutou e puta ki waho o te kuwaha o tona whare, a taea noatia te ata.

23 He mea hoki, ka haere atu a Ihowa ki te patu i nga Ihipiana; a, ka kite ia i te toto i te korupe, i nga pou e rua hoki, ka kapea e Ihowa te kuwaha, e kore hoki e tukua e ia te kaiwhakamate kia haere ki roto ki o koutou whare patu ai.

24 Kia mau hoki ki tenei mea, hei ture mou, mo au tamariki, ake ake.

25 A, tenei ake, a te wa e tae ai koutou ki te whenua e homai e Ihowa ki a koutou, ki tana i korero ai, na kia mau ki tenei mahi.

26 A, tenei ake, ki te mea a koutou tamariki ki a koutou, He aha tenei e mahia nei e koutou?

27 Na ka mea atu, Ko te patunga ra i ta Ihowa kapenga, nana ra i kape nga whare o nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa, i a ia i patu ai i nga Ihipiana, a whakaorangia ake o matou whare. Na tuohu ana te iwi, koropiko ana.

28 Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira, a mea ana i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, pera ana ratou.

29 Nawai a, ka waenganui po, na, patu ana e Ihowa nga matamua katoa i te whenua o Ihipa, te matamua a Parao e noho ana i runga i tona torona, a tae iho ana ki te matamua a te herehere i roto i te whare herehere; me nga matamua katoa a te kararehe.

30 Na ka maranga ake a Parao i te po, ratou ko ana tangata katoa, ko nga Ihipiana katoa; na, he nui te tangi i Ihipa; kahore hoki he whare i kore te tupapaku.

31 Na ka karanga ia ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te po, a ka mea, Whakatika, haere atu i roto i toku iwi, koutou ko nga tama a Iharaira; haere ki te mahi ki a Ihowa, ki te pera me ta koutou i ki ai.

32 Tangohia hoki a koutou hipi, a koutou kau hoki, a koutou i ki ai, a haere atu; me manaaki ano hoki i ahau.

33 A akiaki ana nga Ihipiana ki te iwi, kia tonoa wawetia atu ai ratou i te whenua; i mea hoki ratou, Ka mate katoa tatou.

34 A maua atu ana e te iwi ta ratou paraoa pokepoke, i te mea kahore ano i rewenatia noatia, he mea takai a ratou pokepokenga paraoa ki o ratou kakahu, na kei o ratou pokohiwi.

35 Na ka pera nga tama a Iharaira me ta Mohi i ki ai; na, kei te tono mea hiriwa, mea koura, kakahu, i nga Ihipiana:

36 A na Ihowa i mea kia paingia te iwi e nga Ihipiana, a homai ana e ratou: a pahuatia ana e ratou nga Ihipiana.

37 Na ka turia mai e nga tama a Iharaira i Ramehehe ki Hukota, tata tonu nga tane ki nga mano e ono rau, he mea haere i raro, haunga nga tamariki.

38 He nui te whakauru i haere i a ratou; me te hipi, me te kau, he tini ke te kararehe.

39 A tunua iho e ratou etahi taro rewenakore i te paraoa pokepoke i maua atu e ratou i Ihipa, kahore hoki i rewenatia; no te mea hoki i peia ratou i Ihipa, kihai hoki i ahei te noho iho, kihai hoki ratou i taka i te o mo ratou.

40 Na, ko te nohoanga o nga tama a Iharaira, i noho ra ki Ihipa, e wha rau e toru tekau nga tau.

41 A i te mutunga o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau, i taua ra pu ano, na, ka puta nga mano katoa o Ihowa i te whenua o Ihipa.

42 Ka maharatia taua po nei, hei mea ki a Ihowa, mo to ratou whakaputanga i te whenua o Ihipa: ko taua po tenei o Ihowa hei maharatanga ma nga tama katoa a Iharaira, i o ratou whakatupuranga.

43 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Ko te tikanga tenei mo te kapenga: Kaua tetahi tangata ke e kai i tena mea;

44 Engari nga pononga katoa a te tangata i utua ki te moni, kia oti te kokoti e koe, ka kai ai i tena mea.

45 Kaua te manene, te kaimahi ranei, e kai i tena mea.

46 Kia kotahi te whare e kainga ai; kaua e mauria tetahi wahi o te kikokiko ki waho i te whare; kaua hoki e whatiia tetahi wheua ona.

47 Ma te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira tena mahi.

48 Na, he tangata ke e noho ana i a koe, a ka mahi i te kapenga a Ihowa, kotia ana tane katoa, katahi ka whakatata ai ia ki tena mahi; a ka rite ki te tangata whenua: kei kainga e te kokotikore.

49 Kia kotahi ano te ture mo te tangata whenua raua ko te tangata ke e noho ana i roto i a koutou.

50 Na ka pera nga tama katoa a Iharaira me ta Ihowa i ako ai ki a Mohi raua ko Arona; pera ana ratou.

51 Na, no taua ra pu ano i whakaputaina mai ai e Ihowa nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa, tenei ropu, tenei ropu o ratou.
