Exodus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “Sanctify to me every firstborn which opens the womb among the sons of Israel, as much of men as of cattle. For they are all mine.”
« Bulisela Ngai mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso kati na bana ya Isalaele; ezala moto to nyama, azali ya Ngai. »
3 And Moses said to the people: “Remember this day, on which you were taken away from Egypt and from the house of servitude. For with a strong hand the Lord has led you away from this place. Thus, you shall eat no leavened bread.
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 forth in the month of new grain.
Bozali kobima nde lelo oyo, na sanza ya abibi.
5 And when the Lord has brought 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 that he would give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will celebrate this manner of sacred rites 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 For seven days, you shall feed on unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, it will be the solemnity of the Lord.
Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire; na mokolo ya sambo, bokosala feti mpo na Yawe.
7 You shall consume unleavened bread for seven days. There shall not be seen anything leavened with you, nor in all your parts.
Bokolia mapa ezanga levire mikolo sambo, mpe eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire ekomonana kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
8 And you will explain to your son in that day, saying: ‘This is what the Lord did for me when I was taken away from 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 And it will be like a sign in your hand and like a memorial before your eyes. And so may the law of the Lord be always in your mouth. For with a strong hand, the Lord led you away from the land 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 will keep this observance, at the established time, from day to day.
Bokobatela mobu na mobu mibeko oyo na eleko na yango.
11 And when the Lord has brought you into the land of the Canaanite, just as he swore to you and to your fathers, and when he will give it 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 then you shall set aside for the Lord all that opens the womb and all that is first to go forth among your cattle. Whatever you will have of the male sex, you shall consecrate to the Lord.
bokobonzela Ye bana mibali nyonso ya liboso: bana nyonso ya liboso ya banyama ekozala ya Yawe.
13 The firstborn of a donkey you will exchange for a sheep. And if you will not redeem it, you shall put it to death. But every firstborn of man among your sons, you shall redeem with a price.
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 And when your son will question you tomorrow, saying, ‘What is this?’ you will respond, ‘With a strong hand the Lord led us away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
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 For when Pharaoh had been hardened and was unwilling to release us, the Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man, even to the firstborn of beasts. For this reason, I immolate to the Lord all of the male sex that opens the womb, and 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 Therefore, it will be like a sign in your hand and like something hanging between your eyes as a remembrance, because with a strong hand the Lord has led us away from 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 And so, when Pharaoh had sent the people away, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, which is nearby, considering that perhaps they might relapse, if they saw wars rise up against them, and then they might 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 he led them around by the way of the desert, which is next to the Red Sea. And so the sons of Israel ascended, 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 Also, Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, because he had sworn to the sons of Israel, saying: “God will visit you. Carry 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 And setting out from Soccoth, they encamped at Etham, in the most distant parts of the wilderness.
Tango balongwaki na Sukoti mpe batongaki molako na Etami, na mondelo ya esobe,
21 Now the Lord preceded them to show them the way, by day with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire, so that he might be the leader of their journey at both times.
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 These never failed: a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night, in the sight of the people.
Likonzi ya lipata na moyi to likonzi ya moto na butu elongwaki na esika na yango te liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
