1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Nyathi ka nyathi madichwo makayo nyaka walna. Nyak mokwongo mar nyodo e kind jo-Israel en mara, bed ni en dhano kata chiayo.”
Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 Eka Musa nowacho ne ogandano niya, “Paruru odiechiengni, chiengʼ mane uwuokie piny Misri, piny mane ubedoe wasumbini, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nogolou e pinyno gi lwedo maratego. Kik ucham gimoro amora moketie thowi.
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, on which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from here: and no leavened bread shall be eaten.
4 Kawuono e dwe mar Abib, ema uwuokie.
This day go ye out, in the month of Abib.
5 Ka Jehova Nyasaye okelou e piny jo-Kanaan gi jo-Hiti gi jo-Amor gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus, piny ma nosingore ne kwereu ni nomiu, piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich; to nyaka utim sawoni e dweni:
And it shall be, when the Lord doth bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt perform this service in this month.
6 Kuom ndalo abiriyo chamuru Makati ma ok oketie thowi kendo chiengʼ mar abiriyo timuru nyasi ni Jehova Nyasaye.
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 Chamuru makati ma ok oketie thowi kuom ndalo abiriyogo; gimoro amora man-gi thowi kik yudi e kindu kata e pinyu duto.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten these seven days; and there shall not be seen with thee any leavened bread, neither shall there be seen with thee any leaven in all thy boundaries.
8 Chiengʼno wachne wuodi ni, ‘Atimo ma nikech gima Jehova Nyasaye notimona kane awuok e piny Misri.’
And thou shalt tell thy son on that day, saying, This is done for the sake of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 Raparni biro bedonu kaka ranyisi e lwetu kendo e lela wangʼu ni chik Jehova Nyasaye nyaka bed e dhou kinde duto, Jehova Nyasaye nogolou e piny Misri gi lwete maratego.
And it shall be unto thee for a sign upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy eyes, in order that the law of the Lord may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee forth out of Egypt.
10 Rit chikni e ndalo mowal higa ka higa.
And thou shalt keep this ordinance in its season, from year to year.
11 “Bangʼ ka Jehova Nyasaye osekelou e piny jo-Kanaan mi omiyougo, kaka ne osingo ka okwongʼorenu kaachiel gi kwereu,
And it shall be, when the Lord doth bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy fathers, and giveth it to thee,
12 to nyaka uchiw ni Jehova Nyasaye nyak mokwongo mar nyodo. Chiayo ka chiayo madichwo makayo gin mag Jehova Nyasaye.
That thou shalt set apart all that openeth the womb unto the Lord; and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou shalt have, the males, shall belong to the Lord.
13 Nyaka uwar nyathi punda ka nyathi punda mokwong nywol ka uchiwo nyarombo kare, to ka ok iware, to tur ngʼute. Waruru kayo duto mag yawuotu.
And every firstling of an ass shalt thou redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck: and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 “E kinde mabiro, ka wuodi nopenji ni, ‘Ma to nyiso angʼo?’ To nyise ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye nogolowa e piny Misri gi lwete maratego kama ne wabede wasumbini.
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 forth out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
15 Kane Farao kuom wich teko mare otamore weyowa mondo wadhi, Jehova Nyasaye nonego nyithindo makayo duto mag dhano gi mag jamni, e piny Misri. Ma emomiyo atimo ne Jehova Nyasaye misango gi nyithind jamni machwo makayo, to wawaro yawuotwa kwachiwo gik moko kargi.’
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh obstinately refused to let us go, that the Lord slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast; therefore do I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my children must I redeem.
16 Kendo obiro bedoni kaka ranyisi e lweti kendo kido e lela wangʼi ni Jehova Nyasaye nogolowa e piny Misri gi lwete maratego.”
And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes; that by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 Kane Farao oweyo ogandano odhi, Nyasaye ne ok oweyogi giluwo yo mangʼado e piny jo-Filistia, kata obedo ni yorno ne ngʼado machiegni. Nimar Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka jogi oromo gi lweny, to ginyalo loko pachgi mi gidog e piny Misri.”
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh let the people go, that God did not lead them the way through the land of the Philistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
18 Omiyo Nyasaye notelonegi ma giluwo yo malworo thim mochomo Nam Makwar. Jo-Israel nowuok e piny Misri ka oikore ne lweny.
But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 Musa nokawo choke Josef ka nowuok nimar Josef noketo yawuot Israel osingore ka kwongʼore. Nowacho niya, “Nyasaye biro resou adier, bangʼe nyaka utingʼ chokena ka ua ka.”
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had caused the children of Israel to swear, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall then carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 Kane gisewuok Sukoth, ne gibworo Etham e lak thim.
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the wilderness.
21 Godiechiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye netelonegi gi bor polo mondo otelnegi e yorgi kendo gotieno notelonegi gi ligek mach mondo omigi ler, mondo mi negiwuothi odiechiengʼ kata otieno.
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them; that they might go by day and by night:
22 Boche mag polo mane otelonegi godiechiengʼ kata ligek mach mane otelonegi gotieno ne ok owuok kama ne entiere e nyim ogandano.
He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
