< Exodus 13 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
« Bulisela Ngai mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso kati na bana ya Isalaele; ezala moto to nyama, azali ya Ngai. »
3 Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
Moyize alobaki na bato: « Bokanisa mokolo oyo bobimaki na Ejipito, mokolo oyo bobimaki na bowumbu, pamba te Yawe abimisaki bino na loboko na Ye ya nguya. Bokolia eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire.
4 Today you go out in the month Abib.
Bozali kobima nde lelo oyo, na sanza ya abibi.
5 It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Tango Yawe akokotisa yo na mokili ya bato ya Kanana, ya bato ya Iti, ya bato ya Amori, ya bato ya Evi mpe ya bato ya Yebusi, mokili oyo alakaki na batata na bino, na nzela ya ndayi, ete akopesa bino yango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, okosala feti oyo na sanza oyo.
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire; na mokolo ya sambo, bokosala feti mpo na Yawe.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.
Bokolia mapa ezanga levire mikolo sambo, mpe eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire ekomonana kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
8 You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Na mokolo wana, bokoyebisa na bana na bino ya mibali: ‹ Nazali kosala molulu oyo mpo na kokanisa makambo oyo Yawe asalelaki ngai tango abimisaki ngai na Ejipito. ›
9 It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.
Feti oyo bokosala ekozala lokola elembo na loboko na bino mpe ekaniseli na elongi na bino mpo ete mibeko ya Yawe ezala na bibebu na bino, pamba te Ye nde abimisaki bino na Ejipito na loboko na Ye ya nguya.
10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Bokobatela mobu na mobu mibeko oyo na eleko na yango.
11 “It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
Tango Yawe akokotisa bino na mokili ya Kanana mpe akopesa bino yango ndenge alakaki yango, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino mpe epai na bino,
12 that you shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be the LORD’s.
bokobonzela Ye bana mibali nyonso ya liboso: bana nyonso ya liboso ya banyama ekozala ya Yawe.
13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.
Kasi soki mwana yango ya liboso ya nyama ezali mwana ya ane, bosengeli kobonza na esika na yango mwana meme; soki te, bokobuka yango kingo. Kasi bokosikola na mbongo mwana nyonso ya liboso kati na bana na bino ya mibali.
14 It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Mikolo ekoya, tango bana na bino ya mibali bakotuna bino: ‹ Molulu oyo elakisi nini? › Bokoloba na bango: ‹ Ezali na nguya na Ye nde Yawe abimisaki biso na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu.
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
Tango Faraon aboyaki kotika biso kokende, Yawe abomaki kati na Ejipito mwana nyonso ya liboso, ezala ya moto to ya nyama. Yango wana nazali kobonzela Yawe bana nyonso ya liboso kati na banyama mpe nazali kosikola bana nyonso ya liboso kati na bana na ngai. ›
16 It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
Mpe yango ekozala lokola elembo na loboko na bino mpe ekaniseli na elongi na bino, pamba te Yawe abimisaki bino na Ejipito na nzela ya loboko na Ye ya nguya. »
17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
Tango Faraon atikaki bana ya Isalaele kokende, Nzambe amemaki bango te na nzela ya mboka ya Filisitia atako yango nde ezalaki mokuse, pamba te Nzambe amilobelaki: « Soki bakutani na bitumba, bakoyoka mawa na ndenge babimaki na Ejipito mpe bakoluka kozonga kuna. »
18 but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Boye, Nzambe amemaki bato na nzela ya molayi, na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe, na ngambo ya ebale monene ya barozo. Bato ya Isalaele babimaki libanda ya Ejipito na molongo lokola mampinga ya basoda.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”
Moyize azwaki mikuwa ya Jozefi, pamba te Jozefi alapisaki bana ya Isalaele ndayi; alobaki: « Solo, Nzambe akozanga te kosunga bino, boye bokolongola mikuwa na ngai na esika oyo mpe bokomema yango elongo na bino. »
20 They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Tango balongwaki na Sukoti mpe batongaki molako na Etami, na mondelo ya esobe,
21 The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:
Yawe atambolaki liboso na bango, na moyi lokola likonzi ya lipata mpo na kolakisa bango nzela, mpe na butu lokola likonzi ya moto mpo na kongengisa bango, mpo ete batambola butu mpe moyi.
22 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, did not depart from before the people.
Likonzi ya lipata na moyi to likonzi ya moto na butu elongwaki na esika na yango te liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
