< Exodus 13 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
2 “Every firstborn male is to be dedicated to me. The firstborn from every Israelite family belongs to me, and also every firstborn animal.”
“Ẹ ya àwọn àkọ́bí yín ọkùnrin sọ́tọ̀ fún mi. Èyí ti ó bá jẹ́ àkọ́bí láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́ tèmi, ìbá à ṣe ènìyàn tàbí ẹranko.”
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.)
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ rántí ọjọ́ òní, ọjọ́ ti ẹ jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kúrò ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣe ẹrú, nítorí Olúwa mú un yín jáde kúrò ni inú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó ni ìwúkàrà nínú.
4 Today you are on your way, this day in the month of Abib.
Òní, ní oṣù Abibu (oṣù kẹta ọdún tiwa) lónìí ẹ̀yin ń jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti.
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.
Ní ìgbà tí Olúwa mú un yín jáde wá sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Hiti, Amori, Hifi àti ilẹ̀ àwọn Jebusi; ilẹ̀ tí ó ti ṣe búra láti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ẹ ni láti pa ìsìn yìí mọ́ ní oṣù yìí.
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.
Fún ọjọ́ méje ni ìwọ yóò fi jẹ àkàrà tí kò ní ìwúkàrà nínú àti pé ní ọjọ́ keje ni àjọ yóò wà fún Olúwa.
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.
Kí ẹ̀yin ó jẹ àkàrà tí kò ní ìwúkàrà fún ọjọ́ méje yìí; kó má ṣe sí ohunkóhun tí a fi ìwúkàrà ṣe ní sàkání yín.
8 On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
Ní ọjọ́ náà, ìwọ yóò sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin, ‘Mo ń ṣe èyí nítorí ohun tí Olúwa ṣe fún mi nígbà tí èmi jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’
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.
Ṣíṣe èyí yóò wà fún àmì ní ọwọ́ rẹ, àti bí àmì ìrántí ni iwájú orí rẹ, tí yóò máa rán ọ létí òfin Olúwa ní ẹnu rẹ. Nítorí Olúwa mú ọ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá rẹ̀.
10 That's why you are to observe this ceremony at the proper time every year.
Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin náà mọ́ ní àkókò tí a yàn bí ọdún tí ń gorí ọdún.
11 Once the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised you and your forefathers,
“Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa tí mú ọ wá sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kenaani tí ó sì fi fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ṣe ìlérí pẹ̀lú ìbúra fún ọ àti fún àwọn baba ńlá rẹ̀,
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.
ìwọ yóò fi àkọ́bí inú rẹ fún Olúwa. Gbogbo àkọ́bí ti ó jẹ́ akọ ti ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ ní ó jẹ́ ti Olúwa.
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.
Ìwọ yóò fi ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ra àkọ́bí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ padà, ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá rà á padà, ǹjẹ́ kí ìwọ ṣẹ́ ẹ ní ọrùn, gbogbo àkọ́bí ọkùnrin ni kí ìwọ kí ó rà padà.
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.
“Yóò sí ṣe ní àwọn ọjọ́ tí ń bọ̀, ní ìgbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín yóò béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín, ‘Kí ni èyí túmọ̀ sí?’ Kí ìwọ kí ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ní Olúwa fi mú wa jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
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.’
Ní ìgbà ti Farao ṣe orí kunkun, ti ó kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí a lọ, Olúwa pa gbogbo àwọn àkọ́bí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, àti ènìyàn àti ẹranko. Ìdí èyí ni àwa fi ń fi gbogbo àkọ́bí tí í ṣe akọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa láti fi ṣe ìràpadà fún àwọn àkọ́bí wa ọkùnrin.’
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.”
Èyí yóò sì jẹ́ àmì ni ọwọ́ yín àti àmì ní iwájú orí yín pé Olúwa mú wa jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá.”
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.”
Ní ìgbà tí Farao jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn ó lọ, Ọlọ́run kò mú wọn tọ ojú ọ̀nà ti ó la orílẹ̀-èdè àwọn Filistini kọjá, bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọ̀nà náà kúrú. Nítorí Ọlọ́run sọ pé, “Bí wọ́n bá dojúkọ ogun, wọ́n lè yí ọkàn wọn padà kí wọ́n padà sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
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.
Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run darí àwọn ènìyàn rọkọ gba ọ̀nà aginjù ní apá Òkun Pupa. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ìmúra fún ogun.
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.”
Mose kó egungun Josẹfu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nítorí Josẹfu tí mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli búra. Ó ti wí pé, “Dájúdájú Ọlọ́run yóò dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín ẹ sì gbọdọ̀ kó egungun mi lọ pẹ̀lú yín kúrò níhìn-ín yìí.”
20 They traveled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
Wọ́n sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n láti Sukkoti lọ, wọ́n sì pàgọ́ sí Etamu ní etí aginjù.
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.
Olúwa sì ń lọ níwájú wọn, nínú ọ̀wọ̀n ìkùùkuu ní ọ̀sán láti máa ṣe amọ̀nà wọn àti ní òru nínú ọ̀wọ̀n iná láti máa tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún wọn, kí wọn lè máa lọ nínú ìrìnàjò wọn ní tọ̀sán tòru.
22 The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night were always in front of the people.
Ìkùùkuu náà kò kúrò ní ààyè rẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ọ̀wọ̀n iná kò kúrò ní ààyè rẹ̀ ni òru, ní iwájú àwọn ènìyàn náà.
