Eksodo 13
1 Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ana onse aamuna oyamba kubadwa uwapatule, ndi anga. Aliyense woyamba kubadwa pakati pa Aisraeli ndi wanga, kaya ndi wa munthu kapena wa chiweto.”
Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 Ndipo Mose anati kwa anthu, “Muzikumbukira tsiku lino, tsiku limene munatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto, dziko la ukapolo chifukwa Yehova anakutulutsani ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu. Musadye kalikonse kamene kali ndi yisiti.
And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, when 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 Pa tsiku la lero mwezi uno wa Abibu, mukutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
This day in the month Abib, ye came out.
5 Yehova akadzakulowetsani mʼdziko la Akanaani, Ahiti, Aamori, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi, muzikachita mwambo uwu mwezi uno.
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 swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwirilo muzichita chikondwerero cha Yehova.
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 Mudye buledi wopanda yisiti masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pasapezeke chinthu chilichonse chokhala ndi yisiti pakati panu, kapena paliponse mʼdziko lanu.
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 Tsiku limenelo muzidzawuza ana anu kuti, ‘Ine ndimachita zimenezi chifukwa cha zimene Yehova anandichitira pamene ndimatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.’
And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 Lamulo ili lidzakhala ngati chizindikiro chomangidwa pa dzanja lanu ndi chikumbutso choyikidwa pamphumi panu kuti malamulo a Yehova asachoke pakamwa panu. Pakuti Yehova anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu.
And it shall be for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy 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 Muzichita mwambo uwu pa nthawi yake chaka ndi chaka.
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
11 “Yehova akadzakulowetsani ndi kukupatsani dziko la Kanaani monga analonjezera kwa inu ndi makolo anu,
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee,
12 muzikapereka kwa Ambuye ana onse oyamba kubadwa. Ziweto zonse zazimuna zoyamba kubadwa ndi za Ambuye.
That thou shall set apart to the LORD all that openeth the womb, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’S.
13 Koma mwana woyamba kubadwa wa bulu muzikamuwombola ndi mwana wankhosa, koma ngati simukamuwombola, muzikamuthyola khosi. Mwana wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa muzikamuwombola.
And every firstling of a donkey 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 “Mʼtsogolomo mwana wanu akakafunsa kuti, ‘Zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani?’ Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Yehova anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, dziko la ukapolo ndi dzanja lamphamvu.
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say to him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15 Farao atakanitsitsa kuti asatitulutse, Yehova anapha aliyense woyamba kubadwa mʼdziko la Igupto, kuyambira ana a anthu ndi ziweto zomwe. Nʼchifukwa chake ine ndimapereka nsembe kwa Yehova, chachimuna chilichonse choyamba kubadwa ndipo mwana wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa ndimamuwombola.’
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 beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16 Ndipo chidzakhala kwa inu ngati chizindikiro chomangidwa pa dzanja lanu ndi pamphumi panu kuonetsa kuti Yehova anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu.”
And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 Farao atalola anthu aja kuti atuluke, Mulungu sanawadzeretse njira yodutsa dziko la Afilisti, ngakhale kuti inali yachidule popeza Mulungu anati, “Ngati anthuwa atadzakumana ndi nkhondo angadzakhumudwe ndi kubwerera ku Igupto.”
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 the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 Choncho Mulungu anawadzeretsa anthuwo njira yozungulira ya mʼchipululu kulowera ku Nyanja Yofiira. Komabe Aisraeli anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto atakonzekera nkhondo.
But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up armed from the land of Egypt.
19 Mose ananyamula mafupa a Yosefe chifukwa Yosefe anawalumbiritsa ana a Israeli. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Mulungu adzabwera ndithu kudzakuthandizani, ndipo mudzanyamule mafupa anga pochoka ku malo ano.”
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had solemnly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones from here with you.
20 Atachoka ku Sukoti anakagona ku Etamu mʼmphepete mwa chipululu.
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 Nthawi yamasana Yehova amakhala patsogolo pa anthu kuwatsogolera njira ndi chipilala cha mtambo, ndipo usiku Yehova ankawatsogolera ndi chipilala cha moto, kuwawunikira njira kuti athe kuyenda masana ndi usiku.
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 Usana, chipilala cha mtambo ndi usiku, chipilala cha moto zinali patsogolo kuwatsogolera anthu aja.
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
