Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,
2“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
2“Ko e māhina ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi māhina: ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e ʻuluaki māhina ʻi he taʻu.”
3Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.
3¶ Mo lea ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ni, te nau toʻo kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻe he tangata ha lami, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻoe ngaahi tamai, ko e lami ki he fale:
4If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.
4Pea kapau ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau nofoʻanga ki ha lami, ke toʻo ia ʻe ia mo hono kaungāʻapi ʻoku na fale vāofi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe kakai; ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe kau ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene kai ʻi homou lau ki he lami.
5Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
5ʻE haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou lami taʻehanomele, ko e manu tangata ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu: te mou toʻo ia mei he fanga sipi, pe mei he fanga kosi.
6You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.
6Pea te mou talitalifaki ʻaki ia ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia: pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he efiafi poʻuli.
7They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
7Pea te nau ʻave ʻa hono toto ʻo vali ʻaki ia ʻae pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻakau fakalava ʻi he ʻulu matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale ʻoku nau kai ai ia.
8They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
8Pea te nau kai hono kakano ʻi he pō ko ia, kuo tunu ʻaki ʻae afi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani; te nau kai ia mo e ngaahi louʻakau kona.
9Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.
9ʻOua naʻa kai ʻota ia, pe haka ʻi he vai, ka ko e tunu pe ʻaki ʻae afi: ko hono ʻulu, mo e kau vaʻe, mo hono toʻotoʻonga.
10Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.
10Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatoe hano potu ki he ʻapongipongi; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ki he ʻapongipongi te mou tutu ʻaki ʻae afi.
11This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.
11¶ Pea te mou kai pehē ia; kuo nonoʻo homou vala, kuo ʻai homou topuvaʻe ʻi homou vaʻe, mo homou tokotoko ʻi homou nima; pea te mou kai fakatoʻotoʻo ia; ko e Lakaatu ia ʻa Sihova.
12On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
12“He te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite he poōni, pea te u taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu; pea ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻIsipite te u fai ʻeku fakaʻauha ki ai: Ko au ko Sihova.
13The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
13Pea ko e toto, ʻe hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku mou ʻi ai: ʻo kau ka mamata ki he toto, teu laka atu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻauha kiate kimoutolu ke mou mate ai ʻo kau ka taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite.
14And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
14Pea ko e ʻaho ni ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamanatu: pea te mou tauhi ia ʻo fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata tuku fakaholo: te mou tauhi ia ko e kātoanga ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.”
15For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
15“Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani; ʻio, ʻi hono ʻuluaki ʻaho te mou tukuange ʻae lēvani mei homou ngaahi fale: he ko ia ʻoku kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani mei he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo aʻu ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻe motuhi ia mei ʻIsileli.
16On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.
16Pea ʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe fai ʻekimoutolu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni: ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻe fai ʻi ai, ka koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ko ia pe ʻe ngofua ke fai.
17So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
17Pea te mou tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani; koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻaho totonu ko ʻeni, kuo u ʻomi ai homou ngaahi kautau mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko ia te mou fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae ʻaho ni ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata.
18In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
18¶ ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻi he efiafi, te mou kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani, ʻo aʻu ki hono uofulu ma taha ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi.
19For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.
19ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻi homou ngaahi fale; he ko ia ʻoku kai ʻaia kuo fakalēvani, ʻe motuhi ia mei he fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko ha muli ia, pe ko ha tupu ʻi he fonua.
20You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”
20ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ha meʻa kuo ʻi ai ʻae lēvani; ʻi homou ngaahi nofoʻanga kotoa pē te mou kai mā taʻefakalēvani.
21Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.
21¶ Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vaheʻi ʻo toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lami ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu.
22Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
22Pea te mou toʻo ʻae ʻū ʻisope ʻo unu ia ki he toto ʻoku ʻi he ipu, ʻo vali ʻae potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua ʻoe matapā ʻaki ʻae toto ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ipu; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale kituaʻā kaeʻoua ke pongipongi hake.
23When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
23Koeʻuhi ʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite: pea ka ʻafio ia ki he toto ʻi he potu fakalava mo e pou ʻe ua, ʻe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova ʻi he matapā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fakaʻauha ke hū ki homou fale ke taaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
24And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.
24Pea te mou tokanga maʻu ki he meʻa ni, ko e fekau kiate koe mo ho ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
25When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.
25Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa, te mou fai ʻae ngāue ni.
26When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
26Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka fehuʻi hoʻomou fānau kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngāue ni?’
27you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
27Te mou pehē: ‘Ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe Lakaatu ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne laka atu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fakamoʻui homau fale. Pea naʻe fakapunou hifo honau ʻulu ʻe he kakai ʻo hū.
28And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
28Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
29Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.
29¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻuapō, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae pōpula ʻi he fale fakapōpula; pea mo e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu.
30During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.
30Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Felo ʻi he pō, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi ʻIsipite: he naʻe ʻikai hala ha fale ʻi he taʻeʻiai-ha-taha kuo mate.
31Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
31¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻi he poʻuli ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, Tuʻu hake pea mou ʻalu atu mei hoku kakai, ʻakimoua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea.
32Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”
32ʻAve mo hoʻomou ngaahi fanga sipi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou tala, pea mou ʻalu; pea mou tāpuaki foki au.
33And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”
33Pea naʻe fai mālohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau tukuange fakatoʻotoʻo ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu mei he fonua; he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo tau mate kotoa pē.
34So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
34Pea naʻe toʻo ʻenau mā ʻe he kakai ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae lēvani; mo e nau ngaahi natuʻanga mā, kuo haʻi fakataha mo e nau ngaahi kofu ki honau uma.
35Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.
35Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mōsese; naʻa nau kole mei he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu;
36And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.
36Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, ko ia naʻa nau tuku ai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa. Pea naʻa nau fakamasivaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite.
37The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.
37¶ Pea fononga ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei Lamisisi ki Sukote, ko e kau tangata hāʻele, ko e toko ono kilu nai, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae fānau.
38And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
38Pea naʻe ʻalu mo kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kakai kehe tokolahi: mo e ngaahi fanga sipi mo e fanga manu, ʻae fuʻu fanga manu lahi.
39Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.
39Pea naʻa nau taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻehalēvani, ʻi he mā naʻa nau ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, he naʻe ʻikai ai ʻae lēvani; koeʻuhi naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tatali, pea naʻe teʻeki te nau teuteu haʻanau meʻakai.
40Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.
40¶ Pea ko e nofo ʻāunofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻIsipite, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofolu.
41At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.
41Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻio, naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻae ʻalu ai ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻa Sihova mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
42Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.
42Ko e pō ko ia ke tokanga lahi ki ai maʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ko e pō eni ia ʻo Sihova ke fakamanatu ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē.
43And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.
43¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, “Ko eni ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe Lakaatu: ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli:
44But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.
44Ka ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga, hili hao kamu ia, ʻe toki kai ia ʻe ia.
45A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.
45ʻE ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha muli, pe ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue totongi.
46It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.
46ʻE kai ia ʻi he fale pe taha: ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave kituaʻā mei he fale ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano; pea ʻoua naʻa mou fesiʻi hano hui.
47The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.
47ʻE fai ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
48If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
48Pea ka ʻāunofo ha muli kiate koe, pea loto ia ke fai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova, tuku ke kamu ʻene kakai tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki ngofua ke haʻu ia ʻo fai: pea ʻe tatau ia mo ha tokotaha naʻe tupu ʻi he fonua: ʻe ʻikai kai ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu.
49The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
49ʻE ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate ia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fonua, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.”
50Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
50Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, naʻe pehē ʻenau fai.
51And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
51Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he pō pe ko ia, ʻae ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae fānau ʻe ʻIsileli kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau.
