Exodus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb amongst the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
“Ebibereberye byonna binjawulireko. Abaana abaggulanda mu Isirayiri yonna banaabanga bange; n’ebisolo ebiggulanda nabyo binaabanga byange.”
3 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.
Awo Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Mujjukiranga olunaku luno, olunaku lwe mwaviirako mu Misiri, ensi gye mwafugibwanga ng’abaddu, kubanga Mukama yabaggyayo n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi. Temuliirangako mugaati gulimu kizimbulukusa.
4 For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].
Ku lunaku lwa leero olw’omwezi guno Abibu, lwe musitudde okuva mu Misiri.
5 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.
Mukama bw’alimala okubatuusa mu nsi y’Abakanani, n’Abakiiti, n’Abamoli; n’ey’Abakiivi, n’Abayebusi, ensi gye yalayirira bajjajjammwe okugibawa, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, mukwatanga omukolo guno mu mwezi guno.
6 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.
Mumalanga ennaku musanvu nga mulya emigaati egitaliimu kizimbulukusa, ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu kwe munaakoleranga embaga ya Mukama.
7 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.
Munaalyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku musanvu; tewabangawo alabika n’omugaati omuzimbulukuse, wadde ekizimbulukusa okusangibwa nammwe mu nsi yammwe.
8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.
Ku lunaku olwo mulitegeeza abaana bammwe nti, ‘Tukola tuti nga tujjukira ebyo Mukama bye yatukolera nga tuva mu Misiri.’
9 And it shall be to you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.
Omukolo guno gunaababeereranga ng’akabonero ku mikono gyammwe, oba mu byenyi wakati w’amaaso gammwe, okubajjukizanga etteeka lya Mukama eritaavenga ku mimwa gyammwe. Kubanga Mukama yabaggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.
10 And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.
Noolwekyo onookolanga ekiragiro kino bye kigamba, mu kiseera kyakyo buli mwaka, buli mwaka.
11 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to your fathers, and shall give it you,
“Mukama ng’amaze okubatuusa mu nsi y’Abakanani, nga bwe yabalayirira mmwe ne bajjajja bammwe, era agenda kugibawa,
12 that you shall set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or amongst your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.
Mukama mumwawulirangako ebiggulanda byonna. Zisseddume zonna embereberye ez’amagana gammwe zinaabanga za Mukama.
13 Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons shall you redeem.
Buli kalogoyi akabereberye mukawaanyisangamu omwana gw’endiga ne mukanunulayo, naye bwe mutaakanunulenga mukamenyanga ensingo ne kafa. Ne buli mutabani wammwe omubereberye mumununulanga.
14 And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Awo olulituuka batabani bammwe, bwe bababuuzanga nti, ‘Kino kye mukola kitegeeza ki?’ Mubaddangamu nti, ‘Kubanga Mukama yatuggya mu Misiri, ensi ey’obuddu, n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.
15 And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.
Naye Falaawo bwe yali ng’akakanyadde ng’atugaanye okuvaayo, Mukama n’atta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri; ababereberye b’abantu n’ebibereberye by’ebisolo. Noolwekyo kyetuva tuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama ey’ebiggulanda byonna ebisajja; naye batabani baffe abaggulanda tubanunulayo.’
16 And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and immovable before your eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
Omukolo ogwo gunaababeereranga ng’akabonero akookebbwa ku mikono gyammwe, oba mu byenyi wakati w’amaaso gammwe; kubanga Mukama yabaggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.”
17 And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
Awo abantu, bwe baasitula nga Falaawo amaze okubaleka, Katonda teyabayisa mu kkubo eriyita mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti, newaakubadde lye lyali ery’okumpi. Kubanga Katonda yagamba nti, “Singa bagwa mu lutalo, bayinza okwejjusa ne bawetamu ne baddayo e Misiri.”
18 And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea: and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt.
Bw’atyo Katonda n’abeekooloobya ng’abayisa mu kkubo ery’omu ddungu eriggukira ku Nnyanja Emyufu. Abaana ba Isirayiri baava mu nsi y’e Misiri nga bakutte ebyokulwanyisa byabwe nga beetegekedde okulwana.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
Awo Musa n’avaayo n’amagumba ga Yusufu, kubanga Yusufu yali alayizza abaana ba Isirayiri. Yabagamba nti, “Ddala, ddala Mukama agenda kubadduukirira. Kale, amagumba gange mugendanga nago nga muva wano.”
20 And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.
Bwe baava e Sukkosi ne bakuba eweema zaabwe mu Yesamu eddungu we litandikira.
21 And God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way, and in the night by a pillar of fire.
Emisana Mukama yabakulemberanga ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire okubalaga ekkubo, n’ekiro ng’ali mu mpagi ey’omuliro okubamulisiza, balyoke batambulenga emisana n’ekiro.
22 And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
Empagi ey’ekire ey’emisana, n’empagi ey’omuliro ey’ekiro tezaggibwawo mu maaso g’abantu obudde bwonna.
