Exodus 13
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di:
2 “Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
“Konsakre pou Mwen chak premye ne; premye ne pami fis Israël yo, ni lòm, ni bèt, se pou Mwen.”
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.
Moïse te di a pèp la: “Sonje jou sa a lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, nou te pati kite kay esklavaj la. Paske ak yon men pwisan, SENYÈ a te fè nou sòti nan plas sa a. Epi anyen avèk ledven pa pou manje.
4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
Nan jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, nou prepare pou nou soti.
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.
Li va fèt ke lè SENYÈ a fè nou antre nan peyi ki pou Kananeyen yo, Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Evityen yo, ak Jebisyen yo, peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou, yon peyi k ap koule avèk lèt ak myèl, pou nou kab obsève sèvis sakre sa a nan mwa sa a.
6 For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
“Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, e nan setyèm jou a va fè yon gwo fèt a SENYÈ a.
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.
“Pen san ledven an va manje pandan tout sèt jou yo; epi anyen avèk ledven p ap menm parèt pami nou. Ni nou p ap wè li pami nou nan tout fwontyè nou yo.
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.’
Ou va pale fis ou a nan jou sa, e ou va di: ‘Se akoz sa ke SENYÈ a te fè pou mwen lè m te sòti an Égypte la.’
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.
Epi sa va sèvi kòm yon sign pou ou sou men ou, e kòm yon souvni nan fon ou, pou lalwa SENYÈ a kapab nan bouch ou; paske se te avèk yon men pwisan ke SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte.
10 Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
Pou sa nou va kenbe òdonans sa a nan tan ki chwazi chak ane a.
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,
“Alò li va rive lè SENYÈ a mennen ou nan peyi pèp Kanaran yo, jan Li te sèmante bannou avèk zansèt nou yo, e bay ou li,
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.
ou va konsakre a SENYÈ a premye ne nan tout vant, ak premye ne nan chak bèt ke ou posede. Mal yo se pou SENYÈ a ke yo ye.
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.
Men chak premye pòtre a yon bourik, ou va bay li kòm ranson avèk yon jenn mouton. Men si ou pa bay li kòm ranson, alò, ou va kase kou li, epi chak premye ne nan lòm pami fis ou yo ou va bay li kòm ranson.
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.
“Epi sa va fèt lè fis ou mande ou nan tan ki vini yo, pou di: ‘Kisa sa ye?’, alò ou va di li: ‘Avèk yon men pwisan SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte, nan kay esklavaj la.
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.’
Li te rive ke lè Farawon te fè tèt di sou afè kite nou ale a, ke SENYÈ a te touye chak premye ne ki te fèt nan peyi Égypte la, ni premye ne nan lòm, ni premye ne nan bèt. Pou sa, mwen fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, mal yo; premye pòtre a chak vant, men premye ne nan fis mwen yo, mwen ransone yo.’
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.”
Alò li va sèvi kòm yon sign sou men ou e kòm yon bando bwat kwi komemoratif ki mare sou fwon tèt ou; paske avèk yon men pwisan, SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte.”
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.”
Alò, lè Farawon te kite pèp la ale, Bondye pa t Mennen yo pa wout peyi Filisten yo, malgre li te toupre. Paske Bondye te di: “Pèp la kab petèt chanje lide yo lè yo wè lagè, pou yo retounen an Égypte.”
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.
Pou sa, Bondye te mennen pèp la bò wout dezè a vè lanmè wouj la; epi fis Israël yo te monte byen prepare tankou yon lame pou kite peyi Égypte la.
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.”
Moïse te pran zo Joseph yo avèk li, paske li te fè fis Israël yo sèmante solanèlman e te di: “Bondye va anverite pran swen nou, e nou va pote zo mwen yo soti isit la avèk nou.”
20 They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Alò yo te pati depi Succoth pou te vin kanpe Étham akote dezè a.
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.
SENYÈ a t ap prale devan yo nan yon pilye nwaj pandan lajounen pou mennen yo nan chemen an, e nan yon pilye dife pandan lannwit pou bay yo limyè pou yo ta kapab vwayaje lajounen, kon lannwit.
22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
Li pa t retire pilye nwaj la nan lajounen, ni pilye dife a nan lannwit devan pèp la.
