¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni munyika akati,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

²Mwedzi uno unofanira kuva mwedzi wokutanga kwamuri, unofanira kuva mwedzi wokutanga wegore.

²This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

³Taurai kuungano yose yavaIsiraeri, muti, Nomusi wegumi womwedzi uno mumwe nomumwe ngaatore gwayana, vachiverenga dzimba dzamadzibaba avo; mhuri imwe neimwe ive negwayana rayo.

³Speak 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 the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

⁴Kana mhuri iri duku vasingagoni kupedza gwayana, ivo navagere pedo neimba yavo ngavatore rimwe rinoringana vanhu. Muringanise gwayana pakudya komumwe nomumwe.

⁴And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

⁵Gwayana renyu ngarirege kuva nechinhu chisakafanira, mukono wegore rimwe; muritore pamakwai kana pambudzi;

⁵Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

⁶zvino murichengete kusvikira pazuva regumi namana romwedzi, ipapo ungano yose yavanhu vose vaIsiraeri ngavariuraye madekwana.

⁶And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

⁷Zvino ngavatore rimwe ropa raro, variise pamagwatidziro maviri egonhi, napachivivo chokumusoro, padzimba pavacharidyira.

⁷And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

⁸Vadye nyama yaro usiku ihwohwo, yakagochwa pamoto, nechingwa chisina kuviriswa; vaidye nemiriwo inovava.

⁸And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

⁹Regai kuidya isina kuibva, kana yakabikwa nemvura, asi yakagochwa pamoto musoro waro namakumbo aro pamwechete noura hwaro.

⁹Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

¹⁰Musasiya chimwe charo kusvikira mangwana; zvose zvaro zvinosara kusvikira mangwana muzvipise nomoto.

¹⁰And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

¹¹Muridye kudai: Makasunga zviuno zvenyu, makapfeka shangu dzenyu patsoka dzenyu, makabata tsvimbo dzenyu mumaoko enyu; muridye muchikurumidza; iPasika yaJehovha.

¹¹And 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 the LORD's passover.

¹²nekuti nousiku ihwohwo ndichafamba napakati penyika yeEgipita, ndichirova madangwe ose avanhu panyika yeEgipita, navana vose vemhongora dzezvipfuwo; ndichatonga vamwari vose veEgipita; ndini Jehovha.

¹²For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

¹³Asi ropa richava chiratidzo kwamuri padzimba mamugere, kana ndichiona ropa ndichakupfuurai, kuti dambudziko rirege kukuwirai, rikuparadzei, kana ndichirova nyika yeEgipita.

¹³And 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 the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Zuva iri richava chirangaridzo kwamuri, munofanira kutambira Jehovha mutambo naro; munofanira kutamba mutambo naro pamarudzi enyu ose uve murayiro nokusingaperi.

¹⁴And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁵Mudye chingwa chisina kuviriswa kwamazuva manomwe; nezuva rokutanga mubvise mbiriso yose padzimba dzenyu; nekuti munhu anodya chingwa chakaviriswa kubva pazuva rokutanga kusvikira pazuva rechinomwe ngaabviswe pakati pavaIsiraeri.

¹⁵Seven 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.

¹⁶Nezuva rokutanga munofanira kuita ungano tsvene, uye nezuva rechinomwe ungano tsvenezve; namazuva iwayo mabasa ose ngaarege kuitwa, asi zvinodyiwa nomunhu mumwe nomumwe zvingagadzirwa nemi, izvozvo chete.

¹⁶And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

¹⁷Munofanira kutamba mutambo wezvingwa zvisina kuviriswa, nekuti ndiro zuva randakabvisa naro hondo dzenyu dzose panyika yeEgipita; naizvozvo chengetai zuva iroro kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose, uve murayiro nokusingaperi.

¹⁷And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁸Nomwedzi wokutanga nezuva regumi namana romwedzi, madekwana, munofanira kudya zvingwa zvisina kuviriswa kusvikira pazuva ramakumi maviri nerimwe romwedzi madekwana.

¹⁸In 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.

¹⁹Mazuva manomwe mbiriso irege kuwanikwa mudzimba dzenyu, nekuti ani naani, anodya zvakaviriswa anofanira kubviswa paungano yavaIsiraeri, kana ari mutorwa, kana ari munhu akaberekerwa munyika.

¹⁹Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

²⁰Regai kudya chinhu chakaviriswa; padzimba dzenyu dzose mudye zvingwa zvisina kuviriswa.

²⁰Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

²¹Zvino Mozisi akadana vakuru vose vavaIsiraeri, akati kwavari, Endai mundotora makwayana anoringana mhuri dzenyu, mubaye Pasika.

²¹Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

²²Mutore sumbu rehisopi, murinyike muropa riri mumudziyo, muzodze chivivo chokumusoro, namagwatidziro maviri egonhi neropa riri mumudziyo; kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu anobuda pamukova weimba yake kusvikira mangwana.

²²And 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 at the door of his house until the morning.

²³Nekuti Jehovha achapfuura napakati penyika kuti arove vaEgipita; kana akaona ropa pachivivo chokumusoro, namagwatidziro maviri, Jehovha achadarika mukova uyo, haangatenderi muparadzi kupinda mudzimba dzenyu akurovei.

²³For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

²⁴Chengeta chinhu ichocho, uve murayiro kwauri nokuvana vako nokusingaperi.

²⁴And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

²⁵Zvino kana muchizosvika panyika yamuchapiwa naJehovha, sezvaakakupikirai, muchengete basa iri.

²⁵And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

²⁶Zvino kana vana venyu vakati kwamuri, Basa iri rinoti kudiniko?

²⁶And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

²⁷Muti kwavari, Ndicho chibayiro chePasika yaJehovha, akadarika dzimba dzavana vaIsiraeri paEgipita nomusi waakarova vaEgipita, akaponesa dzimba dzedu. Ipapo vanhu vakakotamisa misoro yavo, vakanamata.

²⁷That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'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.

²⁸Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo; Mozisi naAroni sezvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, ndizvo zvavakaita.

²⁸And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

²⁹Zvino pakati pousiku Jehovha akarova madangwe ose panyika

²⁹And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

³⁰Zvino Farao akamuka usiku, iye navaranda vake navaEgipita vose, kukava nokuchema kukuru paEgipita, nekuti kwakanga kusina imba musina akafa;

³⁰And 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.

³¹akadana Mozisi naAroni usiku, akati, Simukai, ibvai pakati pavanhu vangu, imwi navana vaIsiraeri, endai mundonamata Jehovha sezvamakataura.

³¹And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.

³²Torai makwai enyu nemombe dzenyu, sezvamakataura, endai, neni mundiropafadzewo.

³²Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

³³VaEgipita vakakurudzira vanhu kwazvo, kuti vakurumidze kuvabudisa panyika, nekuti vakati, Isu tofa tose!

³³And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

³⁴Vanhu vakatora mukanyiwa wavo, usati waviriswa, nemidziyo yavo yokukanyira yakaputirwa munguvo dzavo pamafudzi avo.

³⁴And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

³⁵Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita sezvavakaudzwa naMozisi, vakakumbira kuna vaEgipita zvishongo zvesirivha, nezvishongo zvendarama, nenguvo.

³⁵And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

³⁶Jehovha akapa vanhu nyasha pamberi pavaEgipita, vakavapa izvozvo zvavakakumbira; vakapedzera vaEgipita.

³⁶And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷Zvino vana vaIsiraeri vakabva Ramasesi, vakaenda Sukoti, vakanga vari varume vanofamba netsoka vane zviuru zvamazana zvitanhatu, vana vasingaverengwi.

³⁷And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

³⁸Navanhu vazhinji vakanga vakavhengana vakaenda navo, namakwai nemombe, zviri zvipfuwo zvizhinji-zhinji.

³⁸And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

³⁹Vakabika zvingwa zvisina kuviriswa nomukanyiwa wavakanga vabuda nawo paEgipita, nekuti wakange usina kuviriswa; nekuti vakadzingwa muEgipita, vakasagona kunonoka, vakasazvigadzirira mbuva.

³⁹And 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 victual.

⁴⁰Zvino nguva yakagara vana vaIsiraeri muEgipita akanga ari makore ana mazana mana namakumi matatu.

⁴⁰Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹Pakupera kwamakore ana mazana mana namakumi matatu, nomusi iwoyo, hondo dzose dzaJehovha dzakabuda munyika yeEgipita.

⁴¹And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴²Usiku ihwohwo hunofanira kurangarirwa Jehovha, nekuti akavabudisa panyika yeEgipita nahwo. Ndihwo usiku hwaJehovha, hunofanira kurangarirwa kwazvo navana vaIsiraeri vose namarudzi avo ose.

⁴²It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

⁴³Jehovha akatiwo kuna Mozisi naAroni, Murayiro wePasika ndiwo: Mutorwa ngaarege kuidya.

⁴³And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

⁴⁴Asi muranda womunhu mumwe nomumwe akatengwa nemari, angaidya kana mamudzingisa.

⁴⁴But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

⁴⁵Mutorwa kana muranda anoripirwa ngaarege kuidya.

⁴⁵A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

⁴⁶Inofanira kudyirwa mumba mumwe; haufaniri kutora imwe nyama ukaenda nayo kunze kweimba; uye musavhuna pfupa rayo.

⁴⁶In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷Ungano yose yavaIsiraeri inofanira kuiita.

⁴⁷All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

⁴⁸Kana mutorwa agere newe achida kuitira Jehovha Pasika, vanhurume vose vari kwaari ngavadzingiswe, ipapo ngaaswedere hake kuiita; zvino afanana nomunhu akaberekerwa panyika; asi asina kudzingiswa ngaarege kuidya.

⁴⁸And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, 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: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹Murayiro ngauve mumwe kunowakaberekerwa mumusha nokumutorwa agere pakati penyu.

⁴⁹One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

⁵⁰Zvino vana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo; Mozisi naAroni sezvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, ndizvo zvavakaita.

⁵⁰Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

⁵¹Nezuva iroro Jehovha akabudisa vana vaIsiraeri panyika yeEgipita nehondo dzavo.

⁵¹And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
