Exodus 13
1 The Lord told Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
2 “Every firstborn male is to be dedicated to me. The firstborn from every Israelite family belongs to me, and also every firstborn animal.”
Hamasino ho Ahy ny lahimatoa rehetra, dia izay voalohan-teraka rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na olona na biby fiompy: Ahy ireny.
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.)
Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny olona: Tsarovy izao andro izao, izay nivoahanareo avy tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana, fa tamin’ ny tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah anareo nivoaka avy tany; koa aza misy mihinana izay misy masirasira.
4 Today you are on your way, this day in the month of Abib.
Izao andro amin’ ny volana Abiba izao no ivoahanareo
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.
Ary raha hitondra anao Jehovah ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao homena anao, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, dia hanao izany fanompoana izany ianao amin’ izao volana izao.
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.
Hafitoana no hihinananao mofo tsy misy masirasira, ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hisy andro firavoravoana ho an’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ny mofo tsy misy masirasira hohanina mandritra ny hafitoana; ary tsy hisy eo aminao izay mofo misy masirasira, ary tsy hisy izay masirasira akory ao aminao eny amin’ ny taninao rehetra.
8 On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Dia hambaranao amin’ ny zanakao amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Noho ny nataon’ i Jehovah tamiko tamin’ ny nivoahako avy tany Egypta no anaovako izao.
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.
Dia ho famantarana ho anao eo amin’ ny tananao ary ho fampahatsiarovana eo ambonin’ ny handrinao izany, mba ho ao am-bavanao ny lalàn’ i Jehovah: fa tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah anao nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
10 That's why you are to observe this ceremony at the proper time every year.
Dia tandremo amin’ ny fotoany isan-taona izao lalàna izao.
11 Once the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised you and your forefathers,
Ary raha hitondra anao Jehovah ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita araka izay nianianany taminao sy ny razanao, ka homeny anao izany,
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.
dia hatokanao ho an’ i Jehovah izay voalohan-teraka rehetra: ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy rehetra izay anananao, dia ho an’ i Jehovah ny lahy rehetra;
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.
ary ny voalohan-teraky ny boriky dia hosoloanao zanak’ ondry; fa raha tsy hanolo azy ianao, dia hofolahinao ny vozony; ary ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny olona eo amin’ ny zanakao dia havotanao.
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.
Ary raha hanontany anao ny zanakao amin’ ny andro ho avy ka hanao hoe: Inona no anton’ izao? dia holazainao aminy hoe: Tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana;
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.’
ary raha nanamafy ny fony ka tsy nandefa antsika Farao, dia novonoin’ i Jehovah ny lahimatoa rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny olona ka hatramin’ ny voalohan-teraky ny biby; koa izany no anaterako ho an’ i Jehovah ny lahy voalohan-teraka rehetra, fa ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny zanako dia soloako.
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.”
Ary ho famantarana eo amin’ ny tananao sy ho fehy eo ambonin’ ny handrinao izany; fa tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
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.”
Ary rehefa nalefan’ i Farao ny olona, dia tsy mba nentin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny lalana nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina izy, na dia akaiky aza izany; fa hoy Andriamanitra: Andrao hanenina ny olona, raha mahita ady, ka hiverina any Egypta.
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.
Fa nentin’ Andriamanitra nivily ho amin’ ny lalana mahazo any an-efitra amoron’ ny Ranomasina Mena ny olona; ary voaomana hiady ny fiakatry ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
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.”
Ary nentin’ i Mosesy niaraka taminy ny taolan’ i Josefa, satria Josefa efa nampianiana dia nampianiana ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Hamangy anareo tokoa Andriamanitra, dia hitondra ny taolako hiala atỳ miaraka aminareo ianareo.
20 They traveled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
Dia nifindra niala tao Sokota izy ka nitoby tao Etama teo an-tsisin’ ny efitra.
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.
Ary Jehovah nandeha teo alohany tamin’ ny andri-rahona raha antoandro hitari-dalana azy, ary tamin’ ny andri-afo nony alina ho fahazavana ho azy, handehanany andro aman’ alina.
22 The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night were always in front of the people.
Ny andri-rahona tsy niala teo alohan’ ny olona raha antoandro, na ny andri-afo nony alina.
