Exodus 13
1 The Lord told Moses,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 “Every firstborn male is to be dedicated to me. The firstborn from every Israelite family belongs to me, and also every firstborn animal.”
“Nyathi ka nyathi madichwo makayo nyaka walna. Nyak mokwongo mar nyodo e kind jo-Israel en mara, bed ni en dhano kata chiayo.”
3 So Moses told the people, “Remember this is the day you left Egypt, the land of your slavery, for the Lord led you out of it by his amazing power. (Nothing with yeast in it shall be eaten.)
Eka Musa nowacho ne ogandano niya, “Paruru odiechiengni, chiengʼ mane uwuokie piny Misri, piny mane ubedoe wasumbini, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nogolou e pinyno gi lwedo maratego. Kik ucham gimoro amora moketie thowi.
4 Today you are on your way, this day in the month of Abib.
Kawuono e dwe mar Abib, ema uwuokie.
5 The Lord is going to take you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites, the land he promised your forefathers he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey. So you are to observe this ceremony in this month.
Ka Jehova Nyasaye okelou e piny jo-Kanaan gi jo-Hiti gi jo-Amor gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus, piny ma nosingore ne kwereu ni nomiu, piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich; to nyaka utim sawoni e dweni:
6 For seven days you are to only eat bread without yeast, and on the seventh day hold a religious festival to honor the Lord.
Kuom ndalo abiriyo chamuru Makati ma ok oketie thowi kendo chiengʼ mar abiriyo timuru nyasi ni Jehova Nyasaye.
7 Only bread without yeast is to be eaten during those seven days. You are not to have any yeast, in fact there is to be no yeast in any place where you live.
Chamuru makati ma ok oketie thowi kuom ndalo abiriyogo; gimoro amora man-gi thowi kik yudi e kindu kata e pinyu duto.
8 On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Chiengʼno wachne wuodi ni, ‘Atimo ma nikech gima Jehova Nyasaye notimona kane awuok e piny Misri.’
9 When you celebrate this ceremony it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes that this teaching of the Lord should be spoken about regularly. For the Lord led you out of Egypt with his great power.
Raparni biro bedonu kaka ranyisi e lwetu kendo e lela wangʼu ni chik Jehova Nyasaye nyaka bed e dhou kinde duto, Jehova Nyasaye nogolou e piny Misri gi lwete maratego.
10 That's why you are to observe this ceremony at the proper time every year.
Rit chikni e ndalo mowal higa ka higa.
11 Once the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised you and your forefathers,
“Bangʼ ka Jehova Nyasaye osekelou e piny jo-Kanaan mi omiyougo, kaka ne osingo ka okwongʼorenu kaachiel gi kwereu,
12 you are to present to the Lord all firstborn males, human or animal. The firstborn males of your livestock all belong to the Lord.
to nyaka uchiw ni Jehova Nyasaye nyak mokwongo mar nyodo. Chiayo ka chiayo madichwo makayo gin mag Jehova Nyasaye.
13 You must buy back every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you don't do so, you have to break its neck. You must buy back every firstborn of your sons.
Nyaka uwar nyathi punda ka nyathi punda mokwong nywol ka uchiwo nyarombo kare, to ka ok iware, to tur ngʼute. Waruru kayo duto mag yawuotu.
14 When in the future your children come to you and ask, ‘Why is this ceremony important to you?’ you are to tell them, ‘The Lord led us out of Egypt, the land of our slavery, by his amazing power.
“E kinde mabiro, ka wuodi nopenji ni, ‘Ma to nyiso angʼo?’ To nyise ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye nogolowa e piny Misri gi lwete maratego kama ne wabede wasumbini.
15 Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us leave, so the Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human and animal. That's the reason why I sacrifice to the Lord the firstborn male of every animal, and I buy back all the firstborn of my sons.’
Kane Farao kuom wich teko mare otamore weyowa mondo wadhi, Jehova Nyasaye nonego nyithindo makayo duto mag dhano gi mag jamni, e piny Misri. Ma emomiyo atimo ne Jehova Nyasaye misango gi nyithind jamni machwo makayo, to wawaro yawuotwa kwachiwo gik moko kargi.’
16 In this way it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes, for the Lord led us out of Egypt by his amazing power.”
Kendo obiro bedoni kaka ranyisi e lweti kendo kido e lela wangʼi ni Jehova Nyasaye nogolowa e piny Misri gi lwete maratego.”
17 When Pharaoh let the Israelites leave, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, even though that was a shorter way. For God said, “If they are forced to fight, they might change their minds and go back to Egypt.”
Kane Farao oweyo ogandano odhi, Nyasaye ne ok oweyogi giluwo yo mangʼado e piny jo-Filistia, kata obedo ni yorno ne ngʼado machiegni. Nimar Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka jogi oromo gi lweny, to ginyalo loko pachgi mi gidog e piny Misri.”
18 So God led the people by the longer way through the desert towards the Red Sea. When the Israelites left the land of Egypt they were like an army ready for battle.
Omiyo Nyasaye notelonegi ma giluwo yo malworo thim mochomo Nam Makwar. Jo-Israel nowuok e piny Misri ka oikore ne lweny.
19 Moses carried Joseph's bones with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn promise, saying, “God will definitely take care of you, and then you must take my bones with you when you leave here.”
Musa nokawo choke Josef ka nowuok nimar Josef noketo yawuot Israel osingore ka kwongʼore. Nowacho niya, “Nyasaye biro resou adier, bangʼe nyaka utingʼ chokena ka ua ka.”
20 They traveled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
Kane gisewuok Sukoth, ne gibworo Etham e lak thim.
21 The Lord went ahead of them as a pillar of cloud to show them the way during the day, and as a pillar of fire to provide them with light at night. Like this they could travel by day or night.
Godiechiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye netelonegi gi bor polo mondo otelnegi e yorgi kendo gotieno notelonegi gi ligek mach mondo omigi ler, mondo mi negiwuothi odiechiengʼ kata otieno.
22 The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night were always in front of the people.
Boche mag polo mane otelonegi godiechiengʼ kata ligek mach mane otelonegi gotieno ne ok owuok kama ne entiere e nyim ogandano.
