12 Zoti u foli Moisiut dhe Aaronit në vendin e Egjiptit, duke u thënë:
2 "Ky muaj do të jetë për ju muaji më i rëndësishëm, do të jetë për ju muaji i parë i vitit.
3 I thoni gjithë asamblesë së Izraelit: "Ditën e dhjetë të këtij muaji, çdo burrë të marrë për vete një qengj, sipas madhësisë së familjes të të atit, një qengj për shtëpi.
4 Por në qoftë se shtëpia është tepër e vogël për një qengj, le të marrë një së bashku me fqinjin më të afërt, duke llogaritur numrin e personave; ju do të përcaktoni sasinë e qengjit të nevojshëm, në bazë të asaj që çdonjëri mund tëhajë.
5 Qengji juaj duhet të jetë pa të meta, mashkull, motak; mund të merrni një qengj ose një kec.
6 Do ta ruani deri në ditën e katërmbëdhjetë të këtij muaji, dhe tërë asambleja e popullit të Izraelit do ta therë atë në të ngrysur.
7 Pastaj do të marrin nga ai gjak dhe do ta vënë mbi dy shtalkat dhe mbi arkitraun e shtëpive ku do ta hanë.
8 Do të hanë mishin e pjekur në zjarr, po atë natë, do ta hanë atë me bukë pa maja dhe me barishte të hidhura.
9 Nuk do të hani fare mish të gjallë apo të zier në ujë, por të pjekur në zjarr me kokën, këmbët dhe të brendshmet.
10 Dhe nuk do të lini asnjë mbetje deri në mëngjes; dhe ç’të mbetet deri në mëngjes, do ta digjni në zjarr.
11 Do ta hani në këtë mënyrë: ijengjeshur, sandalembathur dhe me bastunin tuaj në dorë; do të hani me nxitim: se është Pashka e Zotit.
12 Atë natë unë do të kaloj nëpër vendin e Egjiptit dhe do të godas çdo të parëlindur në vendin e Egjiptit, qoftë njeri apo kafshë, dhe do t’i jap hakun gjithë perëndive të Egjiptit. Unë jam Zoti.
13 Dhe gjaku do të jetë për ju një shenjë mbi shtëpitë ku ndodheni; kur unë të shoh gjakun do të kaloj tutje dhe nuk do të ketë plagë mbi ju për t’ju zhdukur, kur të godas vendin e Egjiptit.
14 Ajo ditë do të jetë për ju një ditë për t’u mbajtur mend dhe ta kremtoni si festë kushtuar Zotit; do ta kremtoni nëpër kohëra si ligj të përjetshëm.
15 Për shtatë ditë do të hani bukë të ndorme. Ditën e parë do të kujdeseni të hiqni çdo maja nga shtëpitë tuaja, sepse kushdo që do të hajë bukë të mbrujtur, nga dita e parë deri në të shtatën, do të këputet nga Izraeli.
16 Ditën e parë do të keni një mbledhje të shenjtë, dhe një mbledhje të shenjtë edhe ditën e shtatë. Të mos bëhet asnjë punë ato ditë; të përgatitet vetëm ajo që do të hajë secili dhe asgjë tjetër.
17 Do të kremtoni, pra, festën e të ndormëve, sepse pikërisht në këtë ditë bëra të dalin radhët tuaja nga vendi i Egjiptit; do ta kremtoni, pra, këtë ditë nëpër kohëra si ligj të përjetshëm.
18 Gjatë muajit të parë, nga dita e katërmbëdhjetë e muajit, në mbrëmje, deri ditën e njëzetenjëtë, në mbrëmje, do të hani bukë të ndorme.
19 Për shtatë ditë të mos gjendet maja në shtëpitë tuaja, sepse kushdo që do të hajë diçka të mbrujtur, do të këputet nga asambleja e Izraelit, qoftë ai i huaj apo i lindur në vend.
20 Nuk do të hani asgjë të mbrujtur; në të gjitha banesat tuaja do të hani bukë të ndorme"".
21 Moisiu, pra, thirri gjithë pleqtë e Izraelit dhe u tha atyre: "Shkoni dhe merrni qengja për ju dhe për familjet tuaja, dhe flijoni Pashkët.
22 Pastaj do të merrni një tufëz hisopi, do ta ngjyeni në gjakun që është në legen, dhe me gjakun që është në legen do të spërkatni arkitraun dhe të dy shtalkat e dyerve; dhe asnjë prej jush nuk do të dalë nga dera e shtëpisë së tij deri në mëngjes.
23 Sepse Zoti do të kalojë për të goditur Egjiptasit; po, kur do të shohë gjakun mbi arkitraun dhe mbi dy shtalkat, Zoti do të kalojë më tej derës dhe nuk do ta lejojë shkatërruesin të hyjë në shtëpitë tuaja për t’ju goditur.
24 Zbatojeni, pra, këtë si një porosi të përjetshme për ju dhe për bijtë tuaj.
25 Kur të hyni në vendin që do t’ju japë Zoti, siç e ka thënë, zbatoni këtë rit.
26 Kur bijtë tuaj do t’ju pyesin: "Ç’kuptim ka ky rit për ju?,"
27 ju do t’u përgjigjeni: "Kjo është flija e Pashkës së Zotit, që kaloi tej shtëpive të bijve të Izraelit në Egjipt, kur goditi Egjiptasit dhe i fali shtëpitë tona"". Dhe populli u përkul dhe adhuroi.
28 Atëherë bijtë e Izraelit shkuan dhe vepruan ashtu; ata bënë ashtu si i kishte urdhëruar Zoti Moisiun dhe Aaronin.
29 Prandaj ndodhi që në mesnatë Zoti goditi tërë të parëlindurit në vendin e Egjiptit, që nga i parëlinduri i Faraonit që rrinte mbi fronin e tij, deri te i parëlinduri i të burgosurit që ishte në burg, si dhe çdo pjellë e parë e bagëtive.
30 Kështu Faraoni u ngrit natën, ai me gjithë shërbëtorët e tij dhe gjithë Egjiptasit; dhe u dëgjua një klithmë e madhe në Egjipt, sepse nuk kishte shtëpi ku të mos kishte një të vdekur.
31 Atëherë ai thirri Moisiun dhe Aaronin natën dhe u tha: "Çohuni dhe largohuni nga mesi i popullit tim, ju dhe bijtë e Izraelit; dhe shkoni t’i shërbeni Zotit, siç e keni thënë.
32 Merrni me vete kopetë e bagëtive të imta dhe të trasha, siç keni thënë, dhe shkoni; dhe më bekoni edhe mua!".
33 Dhe Egjiptasit e nxisnin popullin për të shpejtuar nisjen nga vendi, sepse thonin: "Do të vdesim të gjithë".
34 Populli mori me vete brumin e bukës para se ai të vinte; i mbështolli magjet e tij me rroba trupi dhe i vuri mbi kurriz.
35 Dhe bijtë e Izraelit bënë ashtu siç i kishte thënë Moisiu dhe u kërkuan Egjiptasve sende argjendi, sende ari dhe rroba;
36 dhe Zoti bëri që Egjiptasit ta shikonin me sy të mirë popullin dhe t’i jepnin atë që kërkonte. Kështu i zhveshën Egjiptasit.
37 Bijtë e Izraelit u nisën nga Ramsesi për në Sukoth, ishin rreth gjashtëqind mijë njerëz më këmbë, pa llogaritur fëmijët.
38 Dhe me ta iku gjithashtu një përzierje e madhe njerëzish, bashkë me kopetë e tyre të bagëtive të imta dhe të trasha, një numër i madh kafshësh.
39 Dhe ata e poqën brumin që kishin sjellë nga Egjipti, duke bërë kuleçë të ndormë; në fakt brumi nuk kishte maja, sepse ata u dëbuan nga Egjipti dhe nuk mundën të mënojnë, as të përgatisin rezerva për udhëtimin.
40 Koha që bijtë e Izraelit kaluan në Egjipt qe katërqind e tridhjetë vjet.
41 Në fund të katërqind e tridhjetë vjetëve, pikërisht atë ditë, ndodhi që të gjitha radhët e Zotit dolën nga vendi i Egjiptit.
42 Kjo është një natë për t’u kremtuar për nder të Zotit, sepse ai i nxori nga vendi i Egjiptit; kjo natë do të jetë një kremtim solemn ndaj Zotit, për të gjithë bijtë e Izraelit brez pas brezi.
43 Pastaj Zoti i tha Moisiut dhe Aaronit: "Ky është rregulli i Pashkëve: asnjë i huaj nuk do të hajë;
44 por çdo skllav, i blerë me para, mbasi të jetë rrethprerë, mund të hajë.
45 Të ardhurit dhe mercenarët nuk do të hanë.
46 Qengji do të hahet vetëm në një shtëpi; asnjë pjesë të mishit të tij nuk do ta nxirrni jashtë shtëpisë dhe nuk do të thyeni asnjë kockë të tij.
47 Tërë asambleja e Izraelit do ta kremtojë atë.
48 Dhe kur një i huaj do të banojë me ty do të dojë të kremtojë Pashkët për nder të Zotit, tërë meshkujt e familjes së tij duhet të rrethpriten më parë dhe pastaj ai le të afrohet për të kremtuar këtë ditë, ai do të konsiderohet si i lindur në vend; por asnjë i parrethprerë s’ka për të ngrënë.
49 Do të ketë një ligj të vetëm për atë që ka lindur në vend dhe për të huajin që banon me ju".
50 Tërë bijtë e Izraelit vepruan në këtë mënyrë; ata bënë pikërisht atë që Zoti i kishte urdhëruar Moisiut dhe Aaronit.
51 Kështu ndodhi që pikërisht atë ditë Zoti i bëri bijtë e Izraelit të dalin nga vendi i Egjiptit, simbas radhëve të tyre.
13 Zoti i foli Moisiut duke i thënë:
2 "Më shenjtëro çdo të parëlindur, ai që çel barkun ndër bijtë e Izraelit, qofshin njerëz apo kafshë; më takon mua".
3 Pastaj Moisiu i tha popullit: "Mbajeni mend këtë ditë, gjatë së cilës dolët nga Egjipti, nga shtëpia e skllavërisë; sepse Zoti ju nxori nga ky vend me dorë të fuqishme; nuk do të hahet bukë me maja.
4 Ju po dilni sot, në muajin e Abibit.
5 Atëherë pra kur Zoti do të bëjë që të hyni në vendin e Kananejve, të Hitejve, të Amorejve, të Hivejve dhe të Jebusejve që u është betuar etërve të tu të të japë, vend ku rrjedh qumështi dhe mjalti, do të kryesh këtë rit gjatë këtij muaji.
6 Shtatë ditë me radhë do të hash bukë të ndorme; dhe ditën e shtatë do të bëhet një festë për Zotin.
7 Do të hahet bukë e ndorme gjatë shtatë ditëve; dhe nuk do të duket bukë me maja tek ju, as do të duket maja pranë teje, brenda tërë kufijve të tu.
8 Atë ditë do t’ia shpjegosh këtë gjë birit tënd, duke i thënë: "Veprohet kështu për shkak të asaj që bëri Zoti për mua kur dola nga Egjipti".
9 Dhe do të jetë për ty si një shenjë mbi dorën tënde dhe si një kujtim ndër sytë e tu, me qëllim që ligji i Zotit të jetë në gojën tënde; sepse Zoti të bëri të dalësh nga Egjipti me dorë të fuqishme.
10 Zbatoje pra këtë rregull në kohën e caktuar, vit pas viti.
11 Kur Zoti do të ketë bërë që të hysh në vendin e Kananejve, ashtu siç të është betuar ty dhe etërve të tu, dhe do të ta ketë dhënë atë,
12 do t’i shenjtërosh Zotit tërë ata që çelin barkun dhe çdo pjellje të parë të bagëtisë që ti zotëron: meshkujt do t’i takojnë Zotit.
13 Kështu do të shpengosh çdo pjellje të parë të gomarit me një qengj; por në qoftë se nuk dëshiron ta shpengosh, atëherë thyeja qafën; kështu do të shpengosh çdo të parëlindur të njeriut ndër bijtë e tu.
14 Kur në të ardhmen biri yt do të të pyesë, duke thënë: "Çfarë do të thotë kjo?," ti do t’i përgjigjesh: "Zoti na bëri të dalim nga Egjipti, nga shtëpia e skllavërisë, me dorë të fuqishme;
15 dhe ndodhi që, kur Faraoni nguli këmbë të mos na linte të shkonim, Zoti vrau tërë të parëlindurit në vendin e Egjiptit, si të parëlindurit e njerëzve ashtu dhe të parëlindurit e kafshëve. Prandaj unë i bëj fli Zotit tërë meshkujt që çelin barkun, por shpengoj çdo të parëlindur të bijve të mi".
16 Kjo do të jetë si një shenjë mbi dorën tënde dhe një ballore midis syve të tu, sepse Zoti na bëri të dalim nga Egjipti me dorë të fuqishme".
17 Kur Faraoni e la popullin të shkojë, Perëndia nuk e çoi nëpër rrugën e vendit të Filistejve, megjithëse kjo ishte më e shkurtëra, sepse Perëndia tha: "Që të mos pendohet populli, kur të shohë luftën, dhe të mos kthehet në Egjipt".
18 Por Perëndia bëri që populli të vinte një herë përqark, nëpër rrugën e shkretëtirës, drejt Detit të Kuq. Dhe bijtë e Izraelit dolën të armatosur nga vendi i Egjiptit.
19 Dhe Moisiu mori me vete eshtrat e Jozefit, sepse i kishte vënë bijtë e Izraelit të betoheshin shprehimisht, duke thënë: "Me siguri Perëndia do t’ju vizitojë; atëhere i bartni me vete eshtrat e mia".
20 Kështu ata u nisën nga Sukothi dhe fushuan në Etham, buzë shkretëtirës.
21 Dhe Zoti shkonte para tyre, ditën në një kolonë resh për t’i udhëhequr në rrugë, dhe natën në një kolonë zjarri për t’u bërë atyre dritë, që të mund të ecnin ditën dhe natën.
22 Kolona e reve nuk tërhiqej kurrë ditën përpara popullit, as kolona e zjarrit natën.

The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread(A)
12 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month,(B) the first month of your year. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a](C) for his family, one for each household.(D) 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect,(E) and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month,(F) when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.(G) 7 Then they are to take some of the blood(H) and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night(I) they are to eat the meat roasted(J) over the fire, along with bitter herbs,(K) and bread made without yeast.(L) 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs.(M) 10 Do not leave any of it till morning;(N) if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste;(O) it is the Lord’s Passover.(P)
12 “On that same night I will pass through(Q) Egypt and strike down(R) every firstborn(S) of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods(T) of Egypt. I am the Lord.(U) 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over(V) you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.(W)
14 “This is a day you are to commemorate;(X) for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.(Y) 15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.(Z) On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off(AA) from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work(AB) at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.
17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AC) because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.(AD) Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(AE) 18 In the first month(AF) you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner(AG) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off(AH) from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,(AI) you must eat unleavened bread.”(AJ)
21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover(AK) lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop,(AL) dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood(AM) on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. 23 When the Lord goes through the land to strike(AN) down the Egyptians, he will see the blood(AO) on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over(AP) that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer(AQ) to enter your houses and strike you down.
24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance(AR) for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land(AS) that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. 26 And when your children(AT) ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ 27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover(AU) sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’”(AV) Then the people bowed down and worshiped.(AW) 28 The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded(AX) Moses and Aaron.
29 At midnight(AY) the Lord(AZ) struck down all the firstborn(BA) in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock(BB) as well. 30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing(BC) in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.
The Exodus
31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship(BD) the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds,(BE) as you have said, and go. And also bless(BF) me.”
33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry(BG) and leave(BH) the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”(BI) 34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs(BJ) wrapped in clothing. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold(BK) and for clothing.(BL) 36 The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed(BM) toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered(BN) the Egyptians.
37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses(BO) to Sukkoth.(BP) There were about six hundred thousand men(BQ) on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people(BR) went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out(BS) of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt[b] was 430 years.(BT) 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions(BU) left Egypt.(BV) 42 Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come.(BW)
Passover Restrictions
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:(BX)
“No foreigner(BY) may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised(BZ) him, 45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker(CA) may not eat it.
46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.(CB) 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land.(CC) No uncircumcised(CD) male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner(CE) residing among you.”
50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded(CF) Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt(CG) by their divisions.(CH)
Consecration of the Firstborn
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Consecrate to me every firstborn male.(CI) The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”
3 Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt,(CJ) out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with a mighty hand.(CK) Eat nothing containing yeast.(CL) 4 Today, in the month of Aviv,(CM) you are leaving. 5 When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,(CN) Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites(CO)—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey(CP)—you are to observe this ceremony(CQ) in this month: 6 For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival(CR) to the Lord. 7 Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders. 8 On that day tell your son,(CS) ‘I do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand(CT) and a reminder on your forehead(CU) that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.(CV) 10 You must keep this ordinance(CW) at the appointed time(CX) year after year.
11 “After the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites(CY) and gives it to you, as he promised on oath(CZ) to you and your ancestors,(DA) 12 you are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord.(DB) 13 Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey,(DC) but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(DD) Redeem(DE) every firstborn among your sons.(DF)
14 “In days to come, when your son(DG) asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(DH) 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’(DI) 16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead(DJ) that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
Crossing the Sea
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”(DK) 18 So God led(DL) the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[c] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.(DM)
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph(DN) with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”[d](DO)
20 After leaving Sukkoth(DP) they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.(DQ) 21 By day the Lord went ahead(DR) of them in a pillar of cloud(DS) to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left(DT) its place in front of the people.

King James Version
Exodus 12-13
King James Version
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 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:
4 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.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 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.
7 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.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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.
18 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.
19 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.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 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.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27 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.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 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.
30 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.
31 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.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 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.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 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:
36 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.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 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.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 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.
42 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.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 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.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 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.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 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.
13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord's.
13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

16 Pastaj iu afruan farisenjtë dhe saducenjtë dhe, për ta tunduar, i kërkuan që t’u tregojë një shenjë nga qielli.
2 Por ai iu përgjigj atyre dhe tha: “Në mbrëmje ju thoni: "Do të jetë mot i mirë, sepse qielli është i kuq".
3 Dhe në mëngjes thoni: "Sot do të jetë stuhi, sepse qielli është i kuq dhe i vranët". Hipokritë, pra, ju dini të dalloni dukuritë e qiellit, por nuk arrini të kuptoni shenjat e kohës?
4 Një brez i mbrapshtë dhe kurorëshkelës kërkon një shenjë, por nuk do t’i jepet asnjë shenjë, përveç shenjës së profetit Jona.” Dhe i la ata dhe shkoi.
5 Kur dishepujt e vet arritën në bregun tjetër, ja që kishin harruar të marrin bukë me vete.
6 Dhe Jezusi u tha atyre: “Kini kujdes dhe ruhuni nga majaja e farisenjve dhe e saducenjve!.”
7 Dhe ata arsyetuan ndërmjet tyre duke thënë: “Se nuk kemi marrë bukë.”
8 Por Jezusi i vuri re e iu tha atyre: “O njerëz besimpakë, përse diskutoni ndërmjet jush që nuk keni marrë bukë?
9 Nuk e keni kuptuar akoma dhe nuk kujtoni të pesë bukët për pesë mijë burrat dhe sa kosha keni mbledhur?
10 Dhe të shtatë bukët për katër mijë bu-rra dhe sa kosha keni mbushur?
11 Si nuk kuptoni që nuk e kisha fjalën për bukën kur ju thashë të ruheni nga majaja e farisenjve dhe saducenjve?.”
12 Atëherë ata e kuptuan se ai nuk u kishte thënë të ruheshin nga majaja e bukës, por nga doktrina e farisenjve dhe të saducenjve.
13 Pastaj Jezusi, mbasi arriti në krahinën e Cezaresë së Filipit, i pyeti dishepujt e vet: “Kush thonë njerëzit se jam unë, i Biri i njeriut?.”
14 Dhe ata thanë: “Disa Gjon Pagëzori, të tjerë Elia, të tjerë Jeremia, ose një nga profetët.”
15 Ai u tha atyre: “Po ju, kush thoni se jam unë?.”
16 Dhe Simon Pjetri duke u përgjigjur tha: “Ti je Krishti, Biri i Perëndisë të gjallë.”
17 Dhe Jezusi duke përgjigjur u tha: “I lumur je ti, o Simon, bir i Jonas, sepse këtë nuk ta zbuloi as mishi as gjaku, por Ati im që është në qiej.
18 Dhe unë po të them gjithashtu se ti je Pjetri, dhe mbi këtë shkëmb unë do të ndërtoj kishën time dhe dyert e ferrit nuk do ta mundin atë.
19 Dhe unë do të të jap çelësat e mbretërisë së qiejve; gjithçka që të kesh lidhur mbi tokë, do të jetë lidhur në qiej, dhe gjithçka që të kesh zgjidhur mbi tokë, do të jetë zgjidhur në qiej.”
20 Atëherë i urdhëroi dishepujt e vet që të mos i thonin askujt se ai ishte Jezusi, Krishti.
21 Që nga ai çast Jezusi filloi t’u sqarojë dishepujve të vet se i duhej të shkonte në Jeruzalem, të vuante shumë për shkak të pleqve, të krerëve të priftërinjve dhe të skribëve, se do të vritej dhe do të ringjallej të tretën ditë.
22 Atëherë Pjetri e mori mënjanë dhe nisi ta qortojë duke thënë: “O Zot, të shpëtoftë Perëndia; kjo nuk do të të ndodhë kurrë.”
23 Por ai u kthye dhe i tha Pjetrit: “Shporru prej meje, o Satan! Ti je një skandal për mua, sepse s’ke ndër mënd punët e Perëndisë, por punët e njerëzve.”
24 Atëherë Jezusi u tha dishepujve të vet: “Në qoftë se dikush don të vijë pas meje, ta mohojë vetveten, ta marrë kryqin e vet dhe të më ndjekë.
25 Sepse ai që do të dojë ta shpëtojë jetën e vet, do ta humbasë; por ai që do ta humbasë jetën e vet për hirin tim, do ta gjejë atë.
26 Ç’përfitim ka njeriu nëse fiton gjithë botën dhe pastaj e humb shpirtin e vet? Ose çfarë do të japë njeriu si shkëmbim të shpirtit të vet?
27 Sepse Biri i njeriut do të vijë në lavdinë e Atit të vet bashkë me engjëjt e tij; dhe atëherë ai do të shpërblejë secilin sipas veprës së tij.
28 Në të vërtetë ju them se disa nga ata që janë të pranishëm këtu nuk do të vdesin pa e shikuar më parë Birin e njeriut duke ardhur në mbretërinë e vet.”

The Demand for a Sign(A)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(B) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(C)
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a](D) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(E) Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(H) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(I) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(J)
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(K)
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(L) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(M)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(N)
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(O) but by my Father in heaven.(P) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b](Q) and on this rock I will build my church,(R) and the gates of Hades[c] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(S) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.”(T) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(U) that he was the Messiah.
Jesus Predicts His Death(V)
21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(W) and suffer many things(X) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(Y) and that he must be killed(Z) and on the third day(AA) be raised to life.(AB)
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(AC) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AD) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(AE) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(AF) is going to come(AG) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(AH)
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

King James Version
16 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
