Exodus 13
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
2 Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel. Both of man and of beast, it is mine.
“Ana onse aamuna oyamba kubadwa uwapatule, ndi anga. Aliyense woyamba kubadwa pakati pa Aisraeli ndi wanga, kaya ndi wa munthu kapena wa chiweto.”
3 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from this place. There shall no leavened bread be eaten.
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.
4 This day ye go forth in the month Abib.
Pa tsiku la lero mwezi uno wa Abibu, mukutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
5 And it shall be, when Jehovah shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shall keep this service in this month.
Yehova akadzakulowetsani mʼdziko la Akanaani, Ahiti, Aamori, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi, muzikachita mwambo uwu mwezi uno.
6 Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Jehovah.
Muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwirilo muzichita chikondwerero cha Yehova.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy borders.
Mudye buledi wopanda yisiti masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pasapezeke chinthu chilichonse chokhala ndi yisiti pakati panu, kapena paliponse mʼdziko lanu.
8 And thou shall tell thy son in that day, saying, It is because of that which Jehovah did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Tsiku limenelo muzidzawuza ana anu kuti, ‘Ine ndimachita zimenezi chifukwa cha zimene Yehova anandichitira pamene ndimatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.’
9 And it shall be for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of Jehovah may be in thy mouth, for with a strong hand has Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt.
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.
10 Thou shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Muzichita mwambo uwu pa nthawi yake chaka ndi chaka.
11 And it shall be, when Jehovah shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee,
“Yehova akadzakulowetsani ndi kukupatsani dziko la Kanaani monga analonjezera kwa inu ndi makolo anu,
12 that thou shall set apart to Jehovah all that opens the womb. And every firstling which thou have that comes of a beast, the males shall be Jehovah's.
muzikapereka kwa Ambuye ana onse oyamba kubadwa. Ziweto zonse zazimuna zoyamba kubadwa ndi za Ambuye.
13 And every firstling of a donkey thou shall redeem with a lamb, and if thou will not redeem it, then thou shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among thy sons thou shall redeem.
Koma mwana woyamba kubadwa wa bulu muzikamuwombola ndi mwana wankhosa, koma ngati simukamuwombola, muzikamuthyola khosi. Mwana wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa muzikamuwombola.
14 And it shall be, when thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shall say to him, By strength of hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
“Mʼtsogolomo mwana wanu akakafunsa kuti, ‘Zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani?’ Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Yehova anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, dziko la ukapolo ndi dzanja lamphamvu.
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Jehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that opens the womb, being males, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
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.’
16 And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.
Ndipo chidzakhala kwa inu ngati chizindikiro chomangidwa pa dzanja lanu ndi pamphumi panu kuonetsa kuti Yehova anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu.”
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, Lest perhaps the people regret when they see war, and they return to Egypt.
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.”
18 But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea. And the sons of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Choncho Mulungu anawadzeretsa anthuwo njira yozungulira ya mʼchipululu kulowera ku Nyanja Yofiira. Komabe Aisraeli anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto atakonzekera nkhondo.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had strictly sworn the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones away from here with you.
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.”
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Atachoka ku Sukoti anakagona ku Etamu mʼmphepete mwa chipululu.
21 And Jehovah 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 them light, that they might go by day and by night.
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.
22 The pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night departed not from before the people.
Usana, chipilala cha mtambo ndi usiku, chipilala cha moto zinali patsogolo kuwatsogolera anthu aja.
