Exodus 13
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
2 “Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
“Ana onse aamuna oyamba kubadwa uwapatule, ndi anga. Aliyense woyamba kubadwa pakati pa Aisraeli ndi wanga, kaya ndi wa munthu kapena wa chiweto.”
3 So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall 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 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
Pa tsiku la lero mwezi uno wa Abibu, mukutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
5 And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you 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 For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
Muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwirilo muzichita chikondwerero cha Yehova.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.
Mudye buledi wopanda yisiti masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pasapezeke chinthu chilichonse chokhala ndi yisiti pakati panu, kapena paliponse mʼdziko lanu.
8 And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Tsiku limenelo muzidzawuza ana anu kuti, ‘Ine ndimachita zimenezi chifukwa cha zimene Yehova anandichitira pamene ndimatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.’
9 It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you 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 Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
Muzichita mwambo uwu pa nthawi yake chaka ndi chaka.
11 And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,
“Yehova akadzakulowetsani ndi kukupatsani dziko la Kanaani monga analonjezera kwa inu ndi makolo anu,
12 you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
muzikapereka kwa Ambuye ana onse oyamba kubadwa. Ziweto zonse zazimuna zoyamba kubadwa ndi za Ambuye.
13 You must redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. And every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
Koma mwana woyamba kubadwa wa bulu muzikamuwombola ndi mwana wankhosa, koma ngati simukamuwombola, muzikamuthyola khosi. Mwana wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa muzikamuwombola.
14 In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
“Mʼtsogolomo mwana wanu akakafunsa kuti, ‘Zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani?’ Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Yehova anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, dziko la ukapolo ndi dzanja lamphamvu.
15 And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb, but I redeem all the firstborn of my sons.’
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 So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us 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 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and 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 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.
Choncho Mulungu anawadzeretsa anthuwo njira yozungulira ya mʼchipululu kulowera ku Nyanja Yofiira. Komabe Aisraeli anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto atakonzekera nkhondo.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”
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 They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Atachoka ku Sukoti anakagona ku Etamu mʼmphepete mwa chipululu.
21 And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or 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 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
Usana, chipilala cha mtambo ndi usiku, chipilala cha moto zinali patsogolo kuwatsogolera anthu aja.
