Exodus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di:
2 Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
“Konsakre pou Mwen chak premye ne; premye ne pami fis Israël yo, ni lòm, ni bèt, se pou Mwen.”
3 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.
Moïse te di a pèp la: “Sonje jou sa a lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, nou te pati kite kay esklavaj la. Paske ak yon men pwisan, SENYÈ a te fè nou sòti nan plas sa a. Epi anyen avèk ledven pa pou manje.
4 For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].
Nan jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, nou prepare pou nou soti.
5 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.
Li va fèt ke lè SENYÈ a fè nou antre nan peyi ki pou Kananeyen yo, Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Evityen yo, ak Jebisyen yo, peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou, yon peyi k ap koule avèk lèt ak myèl, pou nou kab obsève sèvis sakre sa a nan mwa sa a.
6 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.
“Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, e nan setyèm jou a va fè yon gwo fèt a SENYÈ a.
7 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.
“Pen san ledven an va manje pandan tout sèt jou yo; epi anyen avèk ledven p ap menm parèt pami nou. Ni nou p ap wè li pami nou nan tout fwontyè nou yo.
8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.
Ou va pale fis ou a nan jou sa, e ou va di: ‘Se akoz sa ke SENYÈ a te fè pou mwen lè m te sòti an Égypte la.’
9 And it shall be to you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.
Epi sa va sèvi kòm yon sign pou ou sou men ou, e kòm yon souvni nan fon ou, pou lalwa SENYÈ a kapab nan bouch ou; paske se te avèk yon men pwisan ke SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte.
10 And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.
Pou sa nou va kenbe òdonans sa a nan tan ki chwazi chak ane a.
11 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to your fathers, and shall give it you,
“Alò li va rive lè SENYÈ a mennen ou nan peyi pèp Kanaran yo, jan Li te sèmante bannou avèk zansèt nou yo, e bay ou li,
12 that you shall set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or among your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.
ou va konsakre a SENYÈ a premye ne nan tout vant, ak premye ne nan chak bèt ke ou posede. Mal yo se pou SENYÈ a ke yo ye.
13 Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons shall you redeem.
Men chak premye pòtre a yon bourik, ou va bay li kòm ranson avèk yon jenn mouton. Men si ou pa bay li kòm ranson, alò, ou va kase kou li, epi chak premye ne nan lòm pami fis ou yo ou va bay li kòm ranson.
14 And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Epi sa va fèt lè fis ou mande ou nan tan ki vini yo, pou di: ‘Kisa sa ye?’, alò ou va di li: ‘Avèk yon men pwisan SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte, nan kay esklavaj la.
15 And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.
Li te rive ke lè Farawon te fè tèt di sou afè kite nou ale a, ke SENYÈ a te touye chak premye ne ki te fèt nan peyi Égypte la, ni premye ne nan lòm, ni premye ne nan bèt. Pou sa, mwen fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, mal yo; premye pòtre a chak vant, men premye ne nan fis mwen yo, mwen ransone yo.’
16 And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and immovable before your eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
Alò li va sèvi kòm yon sign sou men ou e kòm yon bando bwat kwi komemoratif ki mare sou fwon tèt ou; paske avèk yon men pwisan, SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte.”
17 And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
Alò, lè Farawon te kite pèp la ale, Bondye pa t Mennen yo pa wout peyi Filisten yo, malgre li te toupre. Paske Bondye te di: “Pèp la kab petèt chanje lide yo lè yo wè lagè, pou yo retounen an Égypte.”
18 And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea: and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt.
Pou sa, Bondye te mennen pèp la bò wout dezè a vè lanmè wouj la; epi fis Israël yo te monte byen prepare tankou yon lame pou kite peyi Égypte la.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
Moïse te pran zo Joseph yo avèk li, paske li te fè fis Israël yo sèmante solanèlman e te di: “Bondye va anverite pran swen nou, e nou va pote zo mwen yo soti isit la avèk nou.”
20 And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.
Alò yo te pati depi Succoth pou te vin kanpe Étham akote dezè a.
21 And God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way, and in the night by a pillar of fire.
SENYÈ a t ap prale devan yo nan yon pilye nwaj pandan lajounen pou mennen yo nan chemen an, e nan yon pilye dife pandan lannwit pou bay yo limyè pou yo ta kapab vwayaje lajounen, kon lannwit.
22 And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
Li pa t retire pilye nwaj la nan lajounen, ni pilye dife a nan lannwit devan pèp la.
