Exodus 13
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di:
2 Let the first male child of every mother among the children of Israel be kept holy for me, even the first male birth among man or beast; for it is mine.
“Konsakre pou Mwen chak premye ne; premye ne pami fis Israël yo, ni lòm, ni bèt, se pou Mwen.”
3 And Moses said to the people, Let this day, on which you came out of Egypt, out of your prison-house, be kept for ever in memory; for by the strength of his hand the Lord has taken you out from this place; let no leavened bread be used.
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 On this day, in the month Abib, you are going out.
Nan jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, nou prepare pou nou soti.
5 And it will be that, when the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, the land which he made an oath to your fathers that he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will do this act of worship 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 let your food be unleavened cakes; and on the seventh day there is to 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 cakes are to be your food through all the seven days; let no leavened bread be seen among you, or any leaven, in any part of your land.
“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 you will say to your son in that day, It 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 And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took 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 So let this order be kept, at the right time, from year to year.
Pou sa nou va kenbe òdonans sa a nan tan ki chwazi chak ane a.
11 And when the Lord takes you into the land of Canaan, as he made his oath to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,
“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 put on one side for the Lord every mother's first male child, the first-fruit of her body, and the first young one of every beast; every male is holy 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 And for the young of an ass you may give a lamb in payment, or if you will not make payment for it, its neck is to be broken; but for all the first sons among your children, let payment be made.
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 And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for this? say to him, By the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the prison-house:
“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 made his heart hard and would not let us go, the Lord sent death on all the first sons in Egypt, of man and of beast: and so every first male who comes to birth is offered to the Lord; but for all the first of my sons I give a price.
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 And this will be for a sign on your hand and for a mark on your brow: for by the strength of his hand the Lord took 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 Now after Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not take them through the land of the Philistines, though that was near: for God said, If the people see war, they may have a change of heart and go back 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 But God took the people round by the waste land near the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up in fighting order out of the land of Egypt.
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 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly keep you in mind; and you are to take my bones away with you.
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 Then they went on their journey from Succoth, and put up their tents in Etham at the edge of the waste land.
Alò yo te pati depi Succoth pou te vin kanpe Étham akote dezè a.
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, guiding them on their way; and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light: so that they were able to go on day and 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 The pillar of cloud went ever before them by day, and the pillar of fire by night.
Li pa t retire pilye nwaj la nan lajounen, ni pilye dife a nan lannwit devan pèp la.
