Sunglatnah 13
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Israel ca bung boeih kah cacuek caming boeih tah kamah ham ciim laeh. Hlang dongkah khaw, rhamsa dongkah khaw cacuek he kamah ham ni,” a ti nah.
“Set apart to me all the firstborn, every firstborn male among the Israelites, both of people and animals. The firstborn belongs to me.”
3 Te phoeiah Moses loh pilnam te, “Egypt lamkah na coe khohnin he poek ham om. Sal imkhui lamkah nangmih te BOEIPA kut thaa neh n'doek coeng dongah tolrhu ca uh boeh.
Moses said to the people, “Call this day to mind, the day on which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by Yahweh's strong hand he brought you out from this place. No bread with yeast may be eaten.
4 Tihnin Abib hla ah na khoe uh coeng.
You are going out of Egypt on this day, in the month of Aviv.
5 BOEIPA loh nang te Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Khivee neh Jebusi khohmuen la n'thak. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen he nang taengah paek ham khaw na pa rhoek taengah a toemngam coeng. Te dongah tahae hla dongah he thothuengnah neh thothueng uh.
When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and the Jebusites, the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—then you must observe this act of worship in this month.
6 Hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca lamtah a hnin rhih dongah tah BOEIPA kah khotue la om saeh.
For seven days you must eat bread without yeast; on the seventh day there will be a feast to honor Yahweh.
7 Vaidamding te hnin rhih ca saeh lamtah na khuiah tolrhu hmu boel saeh. Na khui neh na khorhi boeih ah tol hmu boel saeh.
Bread without yeast must be eaten throughout the seven days; no bread with yeast may be seen among you. No yeast may be seen with you within any of your borders.
8 Te hnin ah tah na ca taengah puen lamtah, ‘Egypt lamkah ka thoh vaengah BOEIPA loh kai ham he he a saii dongah ni,’ ti nah.
On that day you are to say to your children, 'This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
9 Nang ham na kut dongah miknoek la, na mik laklo ah poekkoepnah la om ni. A tlungluen kut neh BOEIPA loh nang te Egypt lamloh n'khuen coeng dongah BOEIPA kah olkhueng he na ka dongah om saeh.
This will be a reminder for you on your hand, and a reminder on your forehead. This is so the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.
10 A khohnin lamloh a khohnin patoeng duela amah khoning vaengah he khosing he tuem uh.
Therefore you must keep this law at its appointed time from year to year.
11 Kanaan khohmuen hil nang aka khuen la BOEIPA ha om bitni. Namah taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah a caeng bangla te te nang taengah m'paek coeng.
When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your ancestors to do, and when he gives the land to you,
12 Bung dongkah cacuek boeih te BOEIPA taengla paan puei. Rhamsa saelca cacuek boeih neh na taengkah tongpa rhoek te BOEIPA kah ni.
you must set apart to Yahweh the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn offspring of your animals that are males, will belong to Yahweh.
13 Tedae laak cacuek boeih te tu neh koep lat. Na lat pawt atah pahoi at laeh. Na ca rhoek khuiah tongpa caming boeih na lat ni.
Every firstborn of a donkey you must buy back with a lamb. If you do not buy it back, then you must break its neck. But each of your firstborn males among all your sons—you must buy them back.
14 Na ca loh nang n'dawt tih, ‘Balae he?’ aka ti khaw om ni. Te vaengah anih te, ‘BOEIPA loh Egypt sal im lamkah Mamih he a ban thaa neh n'khuen.
When your son asks you later, 'What does this mean?' then you are to tell him, 'It was by a strong hand that Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.
15 Mamih hlah ham te Pharaoh mangkhak la a om vaengah Egypt khohmuen kah caming boeih tah hlang caming lamloh rhamsa caming hil khaw BOEIPA loh a ngawn. Te dongah ni bung dongkah cacuek a tal boeih tah BOEIPA ham boeih ka nawn tih ka ca caming boeih tah ka lat,’ ti nah.
When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. That is why I sacrifice to Yahweh the firstborn male of every animal, and why I buy back the firstborn of my sons.'
16 BOEIPA loh mamih he Egypt lamloh a ban thaa neh n'khuen coeng dongah na kut dongah miknoek la, na mik laklo samtoelrhui la om ni,” a ti nah.
This will become a reminder on your hands, and a reminder on your forehead, for it was by a strong hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
17 Pharaoh loh pilnam te a hlah coeng dae Pathen loh, “Pilnam he caemtloeknah a hmuh vaengah hal vetih Egypt la mael ve,” a ti. Te dongah amih te Pathen loh Philisti kho kah longpuei longah pat mawt pawh.
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that land was nearby. For God said, “Perhaps the people will change their minds when they experience war and will then return to Egypt.”
18 Te dongah Pathen loh pilnam te carhaek tuili kah khosoek longpuei a lan puei tih Israel ca rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh caem la khong uh.
So God led the people around through the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt armed for battle.
19 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te a caeng, a caeng tih, “Na Pathen loh a hip khaw n'hip bitni. Te vaengah ka rhuh he, he lamloh namamih neh puei uh,” a ti nah vanbangla Moses loh Joseph rhuh te amah taengla a loh.
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear and said, “God will surely rescue you, and you must carry away my bones with you.”
20 Sukkoth lamloh cet uh tangloeng tih khosoek hmatoeng kah Etham ah rhaeh uh.
The Israelites journeyed from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
21 BOEIPA te amih hmai ah cet. Khoyin khothaih a caeh ham vaengah tah amih longpuei mawt ham khothaih ah cingmai tung la, khoyin ah amih te tue ham hmai tung la a caeh pah.
Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way. By night he went in a pillar of fire to give them light. In this way they could travel by day and by night.
22 Khothaih kah cingmai tung neh khoyin kah hmai tung he pilnam mikhmuh lamloh nong sak pawh.
Yahweh did not take away from before the people the daytime pillar of cloud or the nighttime pillar of fire.
