1 El Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 «De ahora en adelante, este mes será el primero y el más importante del año judío.
2 “This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Díganles a los israelitas que cada año, en el décimo día de este mes, cada familia tomará un cordero. Si la familia es pequeña, compartirá el cordero con otra familia pequeña del vecindario; el hacer o no esto dependerá del tamaño de la familia.
3 Speak 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;
4 Not in this translation
4 and 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. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.
5 Este animal, ya sea cordero o cabrito, será un macho de un año y sin ningún defecto.
5 Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 »El animal deberá ser cuidado hasta el día catorce del mes. Ese día, al atardecer, cada familia de Israel sacrificará su cordero o cabrito.
6 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.
7 Luego tomarán un poco de sangre del animal y la colocarán en los dos postes y en el travesaño de la puerta de la casa en que se han de comer al animal.
7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 Asarán la carne al fuego y la comerán esa noche con panes sin levadura y hierbas amargas.
8 They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 Nada crudo ni cocido comerán del animal, sino asado, incluso la cabeza, las piernas, el corazón y el hígado.
9 Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 No comerán nada de esa carne el día siguiente, y si algo sobra esa noche, deberá ser quemado.
10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 »Comerán con la ropa y el calzado puestos, como si estuvieran listos para emprender un largo viaje, y con el bordón en la mano. Comerán apresuradamente. Esta fiesta es la Pascua en honor al Señor.
11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’s Passover.
12 »Esa noche yo pasaré por la tierra de Egipto, y daré muerte a todos los primogénitos de los hombres y de los animales de Egipto, y así ejecutaré mi juicio sobre todos los dioses de Egipto; porque yo soy el Señor.
12 For 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. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
13 La sangre que ustedes colocarán en los postes y en las puertas será prueba de que me han obedecido; y cuando vea la sangre, pasaré de largo y no destruiré a los primogénitos de ustedes, cuando castigue a Egipto.
13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 »Este día lo celebrarán cada año (como una ley permanente), para recordar esta noche.
14 This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
15 La celebración durará siete días. En todo ese tiempo sólo podrán comer pan sin levadura. Cualquiera que desobedezca esta norma durante los siete días que dura la celebración, será expulsado de la comunidad de Israel.
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.
16 El primer día de la celebración, y el séptimo día, habrá reunión sagrada para toda la congregación, y no harán trabajos de ningún tipo en esos días, salvo la preparación de alimentos.
16 In 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, only that may be done by you.
17 »Esta celebración anual de panes sin levadura hará que siempre recuerden este día como el día en que yo los saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Será obligatorio observar esta festividad anualmente de ahora en adelante, de generación en generación.
17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 Desde la tarde del día catorce del mes hasta la tarde del día veintiuno sólo podrán comer panes sin levadura.
18 In 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.
19 En esos siete días no debe haber rastro de levadura en sus hogares. Durante ese tiempo, cualquiera que coma algo con levadura será expulsado de la comunidad de Israel. Esta misma regla se aplica a los extranjeros que vivan entre ustedes y a todos los que hayan nacido en el país.
19 There 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 is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
20 Repito, durante esos días no deben comer ninguna cosa que contenga levadura; sólo comerán panes sin levadura».
20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”
21 Moisés convocó a todos los ancianos de Israel y les dijo: «Vayan y tomen corderos del rebaño, uno por cada familia, según el número de personas que la componen; y maten el cordero, para que celebren la Pascua.
21 Then 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.
22 Recojan la sangre del cordero en una vasija, tomen una rama de hisopo, mójenla en la sangre del cordero y unten la sangre en los postes de la puerta y el travesaño. ¡Que nadie salga de su casa en toda la noche!
22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 El Señor pasará por Egipto y dará muerte a los egipcios; pero cuando vea la sangre sobre el travesaño de la puerta y sobre los dos postes, pasará de largo y no permitirá que el destructor entre a matar a sus hijos.
23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 Recuerden: esta es una ley permanente para ustedes y para sus descendientes.
24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25 Cuando entren en la tierra que el Señor les dará, como ha prometido, y estén celebrando la Pascua,
25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 y sus hijos les pregunten: “¿Qué significa esto? ¿Qué ceremonia es esta?”,
26 It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
27 ustedes les responderán: “Es la celebración del paso del Señor, porque pasó de largo por los hogares del pueblo de Israel cuando mató a los egipcios. Pasó de largo por nuestras casas y no entró a destruirnos”». Y todos los israelitas inclinaron la cabeza y adoraron,
27 that 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.
28 e hicieron lo que el Señor les había ordenado por medio de Moisés y de Aarón.
28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 A medianoche, el Señor dio muerte a los primogénitos de Egipto, desde el hijo mayor del faraón hasta el hijo mayor del cautivo que estaba en el calabozo. Además, dio muerte a toda primera cría de animal.
29 At midnight, 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.
30 El faraón, sus funcionarios y todo el pueblo de Egipto se levantaron en la noche. Y hubo amargo llanto en todo Egipto, porque no había casa donde no hubiera un muerto.
30 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 El faraón llamó a Moisés y a Aarón durante la noche y les dijo: «Salgan, por favor, de en medio de mi pueblo; vayan y sirvan a su Dios como querían.
31 He 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!
32 Tomen sus vacas y sus ovejas, y váyanse. Pues para mí será un alivio que se vayan».
32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
33 Y los egipcios pedían a los israelitas que se fueran lo antes posible. Les decían: «Si no se van pronto, todos moriremos».
33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”
34 Los israelitas tomaron la masa para el pan sin levadura, la envolvieron en sábanas y la pusieron sobre sus hombros.
34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 El pueblo de Israel hizo lo que Dios les había ordenado, y pidieron a los egipcios plata, oro y telas.
35 The 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.
36 Y el Señor hizo que los egipcios miraran favorablemente a los israelitas y les dieran todo lo que ellos les pedían. Y los egipcios fueron prácticamente despojados de todo lo que poseían.
36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.
37 Aquella noche, el pueblo de Israel salió de Ramsés y emprendió la marcha hacia Sucot. Eran como seiscientos mil hombres de a pie, sin contar las mujeres ni los niños.
37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38 También salieron con ellos personas de diferentes nacionalidades, con gran cantidad de vacas y ovejas.
38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
39 Cuando se detuvieron a comer, cocieron panes sin levadura. Como no tuvieron tiempo para preparar comida antes de salir de Egipto, tuvieron que usar la masa sin levadura que lograron sacar.
39 They 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, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 Los hijos de Jacob y sus descendientes habían vivido en Egipto cuatrocientos treinta años, y el último día del año cuatrocientos treinta todo el pueblo del Señor salió de Egipto.
40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.
41 Not in this translation
41 At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Yahweh’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Toda esa noche, el Señor estuvo despierto sacando a su pueblo de la tierra de Egipto. Por eso, a los israelitas se les mandó que esa noche de la Pascua la pasaran despiertos, como una manera de honrar al Señor, recordando lo que él hizo por ellos.
42 It 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 by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
43 El Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: «Estas son las instrucciones acerca de la observancia de la Pascua. Ningún extranjero comerá del animal,
43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
44 pero cualquier esclavo que haya sido comprado podrá comerlo, siempre y cuando haya sido circuncidado.
44 but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 Un empleado, o un visitante extranjero, no podrá participar de la Pascua.
45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 Todos los que coman del animal, deberán comerlo juntos en una casa, y no podrá sacarse ni siquiera un pedazo de carne. Al animal sacrificado tampoco se le podrá quebrar ni un solo hueso.
46 It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 Todo el pueblo de Israel deberá celebrar esta fiesta.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 »En cuanto a los extranjeros, si viven con ustedes y desean celebrar la Pascua, deberán circuncidarse y circuncidar a todos los varones que pertenezcan a su familia. De esa manera serán considerados como parte del pueblo, y por lo tanto, podrán participar de la Pascua. Ninguna persona incircuncisa podrá comer del cordero.
48 When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 »Esta ley se aplicará tanto a los israelitas como a los extranjeros nacidos en Israel».
49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”
50 Y el pueblo de Israel siguió todas las instrucciones que el Señor les había dado a Moisés y a Aarón.
50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 Este mismo día el Señor sacó a Israel de Egipto, tribu por tribu, como si fueran un ejército.
51 That same day, Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… fact that from one man, Abraham, in not much more than four hundred years, the numbers of the Hebrew race so increased, that in the exodus of that people from Egypt there are recorded to have been six hundred thousand men capable of bearing arms, and this over and above the Idumæans, who, though not numbered with Israel's descendants, were …
