¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni munyika akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

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

²“This month shall be to 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 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;

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 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; according to what everyone can eat you 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 a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

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

⁶and 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.

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

⁷They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

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

⁸They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

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

⁹Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

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

¹⁰You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

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

¹¹This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’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 go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.

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

¹³The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

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

¹⁴This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁶In 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, that only may be done by 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.

¹⁷You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

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 evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

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

¹⁹There 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 be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

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

²⁰You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall 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 to them, “Draw out, and take lambs 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.

²²You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of 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 Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

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

²⁴You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

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

²⁵It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

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

²⁶It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean 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 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.

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

²⁸The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

²⁹Zvino pakati pousiku Jehovha akarova madangwe ose panyika

²⁹It happened at midnight, that 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.

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

³⁰Pharaoh 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.

³¹He 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!

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

³²Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”

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

³³The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”

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

³⁴The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

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

³⁵The 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.

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

³⁶Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Egyptians.

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

³⁷The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

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

³⁸A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

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

³⁹They 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, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

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

⁴⁰Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

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

⁴¹It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the armies of Yahweh 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 to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

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

⁴³Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

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

⁴⁴but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

⁴⁵Mutorwa kana muranda anoripirwa ngaarege kuidya.

⁴⁵A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

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

⁴⁶In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry out anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.

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.

⁴⁸When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

⁴⁹Murayiro ngauve mumwe kunowakaberekerwa mumusha nokumutorwa agere pakati penyu.

⁴⁹One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”

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

⁵⁰All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

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

⁵¹It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
