Exodus 12

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

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَائِلاً:

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

«هذَا الشَّهْرُ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ رَأْسَ الشُّهُورِ. هُوَ لَكُمْ أَوَّلُ شُهُورِ السَّنَةِ.

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

كَلِّمَا كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلَيْنِ: فِي الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ هذَا الشَّهْرِ يَأْخُذُونَ لَهُمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ شَاةً بِحَسَبِ بُيُوتِ الآبَاءِ، شَاةً لِلْبَيْتِ.

And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour 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.

وَإِنْ كَانَ الْبَيْتُ صَغِيرًا عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ كُفْوًا لِشَاةٍ، يَأْخُذُ هُوَ وَجَارُهُ الْقَرِيبُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ النُّفُوسِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ تَحْسِبُونَ لِلشَّاةِ.

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

تَكُونُ لَكُمْ شَاةً صَحِيحَةً ذَكَرًا ابْنَ سَنَةٍ، تَأْخُذُونَهُ مِنَ الْخِرْفَانِ أَوْ مِنَ الْمَوَاعِزِ.

And 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.

وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَكُمْ تَحْتَ الْحِفْظِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هذَا الشَّهْرِ. ثُمَّ يَذْبَحُهُ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْعَشِيَّةِ.

And 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.

وَيَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ الدَّمِ وَيَجْعَلُونَهُ عَلَى الْقَائِمَتَيْنِ وَالْعَتَبَةِ الْعُلْيَا فِي الْبُيُوتِ الَّتِي يَأْكُلُونَهُ فِيهَا.

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

وَيَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ مَشْوِيًّا بِالنَّارِ مَعَ فَطِيرٍ. عَلَى أَعْشَابٍ مُرَّةٍ يَأْكُلُونَهُ.

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

لاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ نِيئًا أَوْ طَبِيخًا مَطْبُوخًا بِالْمَاءِ، بَلْ مَشْوِيًّا بِالنَّارِ. رَأْسَهُ مَعَ أَكَارِعِهِ وَجَوْفِهِ.

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

وَلاَ تُبْقُوا مِنْهُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ. وَالْبَاقِي مِنْهُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ، تُحْرِقُونَهُ بِالنَّارِ.

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 the LORD'S passover.

وَهكَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ: أَحْقَاؤُكُمْ مَشْدُودَةٌ، وَأَحْذِيَتُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَعِصِيُّكُمْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ. وَتَأْكُلُونَهُ بِعَجَلَةٍ. هُوَ فِصْحٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

For 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.

فَإِنِّي أَجْتَازُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، وَأَضْرِبُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. وَأَصْنَعُ أَحْكَامًا بِكُلِّ آلِهَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

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

وَيَكُونُ لَكُمُ الدَّمُ عَلاَمَةً عَلَى الْبُيُوتِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، فَأَرَى الدَّمَ وَأَعْبُرُ عَنْكُمْ، فَلاَ يَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْهَلاَكِ حِينَ أَضْرِبُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ.

And 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.

وَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ هذَا الْيَوْمُ تَذْكَارًا فَتُعَيِّدُونَهُ عِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ. فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ تُعَيِّدُونَهُ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً.

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.

«سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيرًا. الْيَوْمَ الأَوَّلَ تَعْزِلُونَ الْخَمِيرَ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَكَلَ خَمِيرًا مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ السَّابعِ تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And 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.

وَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابعِ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ. لاَ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمَا عَمَلٌ مَا إِلاَّ مَا تَأْكُلُهُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ، فَذلِكَ وَحْدَهُ يُعْمَلُ مِنْكُمْ.

And 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.

وَتَحْفَظُونَ الْفَطِيرَ لأَنِّي فِي هذَا الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ أَخْرَجْتُ أَجْنَادَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَتَحْفَظُونَ هذَا الْيَوْمَ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً.

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.

فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، مَسَاءً، تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيرًا إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الْحَادِي وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ مَسَاءً.

Seven 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.

سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ لاَ يُوجَدْ خَمِيرٌ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ أَكَلَ مُخْتَمِرًا تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الْغَرِيبُ مَعَ مَوْلُودِ الأَرْضِ.

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

لاَ تَأْكُلُوا شَيْئًا مُخْتَمِرًا. فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيرًا».

Then 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.

فَدَعَا مُوسَى جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «اسْحَبُوا وَخُذُوا لَكُمْ غَنَمًا بِحَسَبِ عَشَائِرِكُمْ وَاذْبَحُوا الْفِصْحَ.

And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

وَخُذُوا بَاقَةَ زُوفَا وَاغْمِسُوهَا فِي الدَّمِ الَّذِي فِي الطَّسْتِ وَمُسُّوا الْعَتَبَةَ الْعُلْيَا وَالْقَائِمَتَيْنِ بِالدَّمِ الَّذِي فِي الطَّسْتِ. وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ يَخْرُجْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ بَابِ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ،

For 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.

فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَجْتَازُ لِيَضْرِبَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَحِينَ يَرَى الدَّمَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ الْعُلْيَا وَالْقَائِمَتَيْنِ يَعْبُرُ الرَّبُّ عَنِ الْبَابِ وَلاَ يَدَعُ الْمُهْلِكَ يَدْخُلُ بُيُوتَكُمْ لِيَضْرِبَ.

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

فَتَحْفَظُونَ هذَا الأَمْرَ فَرِيضَةً لَكَ وَلأَوْلاَدِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And 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.

وَيَكُونُ حِينَ تَدْخُلُونَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ، أَنَّكُمْ تَحْفَظُونَ هذِهِ الْخِدْمَةَ.

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

وَيَكُونُ حِينَ يَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَوْلاَدُكُمْ: مَا هذِهِ الْخِدْمَةُ لَكُمْ؟

That 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.

أَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: هِيَ ذَبِيحَةُ فِصْحٍ لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي عَبَرَ عَنْ بُيُوتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مِصْرَ لَمَّا ضَرَبَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَخَلَّصَ بُيُوتَنَا». فَخَرَّ الشَّعْبُ وَسَجَدُوا.

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

وَمَضَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ. هكَذَا فَعَلُوا.

And 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.

فَحَدَثَ فِي نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ إِلَى بِكْرِ الأَسِيرِ الَّذِي فِي السِّجْنِ، وَكُلَّ بِكْرِ بَهِيمَةٍ.

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.

فَقَامَ فِرْعَوْنُ لَيْلاً هُوَ وَكُلُّ عَبِيدِهِ وَجَمِيعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ صُرَاخٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْتٌ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَيْتٌ.

And 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.

فَدَعَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ لَيْلاً وَقَالَ: «قُومُوا اخْرُجُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِي أَنْتُمَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعًا، وَاذْهَبُوا اعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ.

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

خُذُوا غَنَمَكُمْ أَيْضًا وَبَقَرَكُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ وَاذْهَبُوا. وَبَارِكُونِي أَيْضًا».

And 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.

وَأَلَحَّ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ لِيُطْلِقُوهُمْ عَاجِلاً مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «جَمِيعُنَا أَمْوَاتٌ».

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

فَحَمَلَ الشَّعْبُ عَجِينَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْتَمِرَ، وَمَعَاجِنُهُمْ مَصْرُورَةٌ فِي ثِيَابِهِمْ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ.

And 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:

وَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِ مُوسَى. طَلَبُوا مِنَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمْتِعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَأَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابًا.

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

وَأَعْطَى الرَّبُّ نِعْمَةً لِلشَّعْبِ فِي عُِيُونِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَتَّى أَعَارُوهُمْ. فَسَلَبُوا الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

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

فَارْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ رَعَمْسِيسَ إِلَى سُكُّوتَ، نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ مَاشٍ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ عَدَا الأَوْلاَدِ.

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

وَصَعِدَ مَعَهُمْ لَفِيفٌ كَثِيرٌ أَيْضًا مَعَ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ، مَوَاشٍ وَافِرَةٍ جِدًّا.

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 victual.

وَخَبَزُوا الْعَجِينَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ خُبْزَ مَلَّةٍ فَطِيرًا، إِذْ كَانَ لَمْ يَخْتَمِرْ. لأَنَّهُمْ طُرِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَتَأَخَّرُوا، فَلَمْ يَصْنَعُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ زَادًا.

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

وَأَمَّا إِقَامَةُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي أَقَامُوهَا فِي مِصْرَ فَكَانَتْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً.

And 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.

وَكَانَ عِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً، فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ، أَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَجْنَادِ الرَّبِّ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

It 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.

هِيَ لَيْلَةٌ تُحْفَظُ لِلرَّبِّ لإِخْرَاجِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةُ هِيَ لِلرَّبِّ. تُحْفَظُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ.

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

وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ: «هذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ الْفِصْحِ: كُلُّ ابْنِ غَرِيبٍ لاَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ.

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

وَلكِنْ كُلُّ عَبْدِ رَجُلٍ مُبْتَاعٍ بِفِضَّةٍ تَخْتِنُهُ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ.

A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

النَّزِيلُ وَالأَجِيرُ لاَ يَأْكُلاَنِ مِنْهُ.

In 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.

فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ يُؤْكَلُ. لاَ تُخْرِجْ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَى خَارِجٍ، وَعَظْمًا لاَ تَكْسِرُوا مِنْهُ.

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَصْنَعُونَهُ.

And 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.

وَإِذَا نَزَلَ عِنْدَكَ نَزِيلٌ وَصَنَعَ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ، فَلْيُخْتَنْ مِنْهُ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ لِيَصْنَعَهُ، فَيَكُونُ كَمَوْلُودِ الأَرْضِ. وَأَمَّا كُلُّ أَغْلَفَ فَلاَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ.

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

تَكُونُ شَرِيعَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لِمَوْلُودِ الأَرْضِ وَلِلنَّزِيلِ النَّازِلِ بَيْنَكُمْ».

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

فَفَعَلَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ. هكَذَا فَعَلُوا.

And 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.

وَكَانَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَخْرَجَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ أَجْنَادِهِمْ.
