1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On 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 is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat. 5 Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening. 7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it. 8 They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs. 9 Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts. 10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. 11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’s Passover. 12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh. 13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

15 "‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may be done by you. 17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening. 19 There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’"

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover. 22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you. 24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever. 25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26 It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27 that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Yahweh’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’"

The people bowed their heads and worshiped. 28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

29 At midnight, Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock. 30 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 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said! 32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"

33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men." 34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. 35 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 clothing. 36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.

37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children. 38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock. 39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves. 40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years. 41 At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Yahweh’s armies went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. 45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. 46 It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you." 50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 51 That same day, Yahweh brought 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.
