Ekiragiro ku Mbaga ey’Okuyitako

(A)Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ogw’omwaka ogwokubiri kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri. N’amugamba nti, “Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri bakwatenga Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu ntuuko zaayo nga bwe kyalagirwa. (B)Mugikwatanga mu ntuuko zaayo ezaalagirwa ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi guno nga buwungeera, ng’amateeka n’ebiragiro byako bwe bigamba.”

Bw’atyo Musa n’agamba abaana ba Isirayiri okukwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako; (C)era ne bakola bwe batyo mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga buwungeera. Abaana ba Isirayiri baakola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.

(D)Naye waaliwo abantu abamu abataasobola kukwata Mbaga ey’Okuyitako ku lunaku olwo, kubanga tebaali balongoofu olwokubanga baali bakutte ku mufu. Bwe batyo ne bajja eri Musa ne Alooni ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, ne bagamba Musa nti, “Tetuli balongoofu kubanga twakutte ku mufu; lwaki tugaanibwa okuleetera Mukama ekiweebwayo kye, awamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, mu ntuuko zaakyo ezaalagirwa?”

(E)Musa n’abaddamu nti, “Mulinde mmale okumanya Mukama Katonda ky’anandagira ku nsonga yammwe.”

Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, 10 (F)“Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti, ‘Omu ku mmwe, oba omu ku bazzukulu bammwe ab’omu mirembe egiriddawo, singa afuuka atali mulongoofu olw’okukwata ku mufu, oba nga taliiwo yagenda olugendo olw’ewala, anaakwatanga Embaga ey’Okuyitako eya Mukama Katonda. 11 (G)Banaakwatanga embaga eyo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya mu mwezi ogwokubiri akawungeezi. Omwana gw’endiga banaagulyanga n’omugaati ogutali muzimbulukuse n’enva ez’ebikoola ebikaawa. 12 (H)Tebagulekangawo okutuusa enkeera, wadde okumenya ku magumba gaagwo. Bwe banaakwatanga Embaga ey’Okuyitako kinaabasaaniranga okukola ng’amateeka g’embaga eyo bwe galagira. 13 (I)Naye omuntu omulongoofu ate nga teyagenda lugendo, kyokka n’atakwata Mbaga ey’Okuyitako, anaawaŋŋangusibwanga n’ava mu banne, kubanga teyaleeta kiweebwayo kya Mukama Katonda mu ntuuko zaakyo. Ekibi ky’omuntu oyo kinaabeeranga ku mutwe gwe.

14 (J)“ ‘Omunnaggwanga anaabeeranga mu mmwe bw’anaabanga ayagala okukwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako kwa Mukama Katonda anaagikwatanga ng’agoberera amateeka n’ebiragiro byayo. Munaabanga n’ebiragiro byebimu ebinaagobererwanga bannaggwanga era ne bannansi.’ ”

Ekire Waggulu w’Eweema

15 (K)Ku lunaku Weema ya Mukama ey’Endagaano lwe yasimbibwa, ekire ne kigibikka. Okuva akawungeezi okutuusa ku makya ekire ekyali waggulu wa Weema ne kifaanana ng’omuliro. 16 Bwe kityo bwe kyabeeranga; ekire kyagibikkanga emisana naye ekiro ne kifaanana ng’omuliro. 17 (L)Era ekire buli lwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula mu lugendo lwabwe; era awo ekire ekyo we kyayimiriranga, nga n’abaana ba Isirayiri we basiisira. 18 Mukama bwe yalagiranga abaana ba Isirayiri okusitula mu lugendo lwabwe, nga basitula; Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okukuba olusiisira nga bakola bwe batyo. Ebbanga lyonna ekire lye kyamalanga waggulu wa Weema nga nabo lye bamala mu lusiisira lwabwe. 19 Ekire ne bwe kyamalanga ennaku ennyingi waggulu wa Weema, abaana ba Isirayiri baagonderanga ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda ne batasitula kutambula. 20 Oluusi ekire kyamalanga ennaku ntono waggulu wa Weema; naye ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali, nga basigala mu lusiisira lwabwe; kyokka oluvannyuma nga basitula okutambula ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyabanga. 21 Oluusi ekire kyabeerangawo okuva akawungeezi okutuusa mu makya; naye ekire bwe kyaggyibwangawo mu makya, ng’olwo basitula okutambula; oba bwe kyasigalangawo olunaku n’ekiro kyonna oluvannyuma ne kiggyibwawo, ng’olwo basitula okutambula. 22 Ekire ne bwe kyabeeranga waggulu wa Weema okumala ennaku ebbiri oba omwezi, abaana ba Isirayiri nga babeera awo mu lusiisira lwabwe nga tebasitula kutambula; naye bwe kyaggyibwangawo ng’olwo basitula okutambula. 23 Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okusigala, nga basigala mu lusiisira lwabwe nga bawummudde, ate Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okutambula, nga basitula okutambula. Baagonderanga ekiragiro kya Mukama nga bwe yalagira Musa.

The Passover

The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month(A) of the second year after they came out of Egypt.(B) He said, “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover(C) at the appointed time.(D) Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month,(E) in accordance with all its rules and regulations.(F)

So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,(G) and they did so in the Desert of Sinai(H) at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.(I) The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(J)

But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean(K) on account of a dead body.(L) So they came to Moses and Aaron(M) that same day and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?(N)

Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”(O)

Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body(P) or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate(Q) the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month(R) at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.(S) 12 They must not leave any of it till morning(T) or break any of its bones.(U) When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.(V) 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people(W) for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.

14 “‘A foreigner(X) residing among you is also to celebrate the Lord’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’”

The Cloud Above the Tabernacle

15 On the day the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant law,(Y) was set up,(Z) the cloud(AA) covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire.(AB) 16 That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire.(AC) 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the tent, the Israelites set out;(AD) wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped.(AE) 18 At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained(AF) in camp. 19 When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the Lord’s order(AG) and did not set out.(AH) 20 Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the Lord’s command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. 23 At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command through Moses.
