Exodus 13
1 The Lord told Moses,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 “Every firstborn male is to be dedicated to me. The firstborn from every Israelite family belongs to me, and also every firstborn animal.”
“Nditsaurire matangwe echirume ose. Chibereko chokutanga chechizvaro pakati pavaIsraeri ndechangu, chingava chomunhu kana chechipfuwo.”
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.)
Ipapo Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Rangarirai zuva iri, iro zuva ramakabuda muIjipiti, munyika youtapwa, nokuti Jehovha akakubudisai mairi noruoko rune simba. Musadya chinhu chine mbiriso.
4 Today you are on your way, this day in the month of Abib.
Nhasi, mumwedzi waAbhibhi muri kubuda.
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.
Pamunosvitswa naJehovha munyika yavaKenani, vaHiti, vaAmori, vaHivhi, navaJebhusi, iyo nyika yaakapikira madzibaba enyu kuti vazokupai iyo, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, munofanira kucherechedza chirevo ichi mumwedzi uno.
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.
Kwamazuva manomwe munofanira kuitira Jehovha mutambo.
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.
Mudye chingwa chisina mbiriso pamazuva manomwe iwayo; chinhu chine mbiriso hachifaniri kuonekwa pakati penyu, uye mbiriso zvayo haifaniri kuonekwa panzvimbo ipi zvayo pakati pemiganhu yenyu.
8 On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Pazuva iroro uudze mwanakomana wako kuti, ‘Ndinoita izvi nokuda kwezvandakaitirwa naJehovha pandakabuda muIjipiti.’
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.
Mucherechedzo uyu uchava kwauri sechiratidzo paruoko rwako uye sechirangaridzo pahuma yako chokuti murayiro waJehovha unofanira kuva pamiromo yako. Nokuti Jehovha akakubudisa muIjipiti noruoko rwake rune simba.
10 That's why you are to observe this ceremony at the proper time every year.
Unofanira kuchengeta mutemo uyu panguva dzakatarwa gore negore.
11 Once the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised you and your forefathers,
“Shure kwokunge Jehovha akusvitsa munyika yavaKenani uye aipa kwauri, sezvaakavimbisa nemhiko kwauri nokumadzitateguru ako,
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.
unofanira kupa kuna Jehovha chibereko chokutanga chezvizvaro zvose. Zvikono zvezvipfuwo zvako zvose zvinotanga kuzarura chibereko ndezvaJehovha.
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.
Udzikinure negwayana mwana wose wokutanga wembongoro, asi kana usingaudzikinuri, uvhune mutsipa wawo. Udzikinure matangwe ose pakati pavanakomana vako.
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.
“Mumazuva anouya, paunenge uchibvunzwa nomwanakomana wako kuti, ‘Zvinoreveiko izvi?’ uti kwaari, ‘Noruoko rune simba Jehovha akatibudisa muIjipiti, munyika youtapwa.
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.’
Faro paakasindimara achiramba kuti tiende, Jehovha akauraya matangwe ose omuIjipiti, zvose vanhu nezvipfuwo. Ndokusaka ndichibayira kuna Jehovha mukono wokutanga wechibereko chechizvaro chose uye ndichidzikinura dangwe rimwe nerimwe ravanakomana vangu.’
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.”
Uye chichava chiratidzo paruoko rwako nerundanyara pahuma yako kuti Jehovha akatibudisa kubva muIjipiti noruoko rune simba.”
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.”
Faro akati atendera vanhu kuti vaende, Mwari haana kuvatungamirira nenzira yaipinda nomunyika yavaFiristia, kunyange zvazvo yakanga iri pfupi. Nokuti Mwari akati, “Kana vakasangana nehondo, vangashandura pfungwa dzavo vakadzokera kuIjipiti.”
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.
Saka Mwari akatungamirira vanhu vachipoterera nomumugwagwa womurenje vakananga kuGungwa Dzvuku. VaIsraeri vakabuda kubva muIjipiti vakapakata nhumbi dzehondo.
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.”
Mozisi akatora mapfupa aJosefa nokuti Josefa akanga aita kuti vanakomana vaIsraeri vapike mhiko. Akanga ati, “Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakubatsirai, uye ipapo munofanira kutakura mapfupa angu kubva panzvimbo ino.”
20 They traveled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
Vakati vabva paSukoti vakadzika musasa paEtamu pamucheto werenje.
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.
Masikati Jehovha aivatungamirira neshongwe yegore kuti avatungamirire munzira yavo uye usiku aivatungamirira neshongwe yomoto kuti vavhenekerwe, kuti vafambe masikati kana usiku.
22 The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night were always in front of the people.
Shongwe yegore masikati kana shongwe yemoto usiku hazvina kubva panzvimbo yazvo pamberi pavanhu.
