Exodus 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di:
2 “Sanctify to Me every firstborn, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among 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 says to the people, “Remember this day [in] which you have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought you out from this, and anything fermented is not 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 you are going out today, in the month of Abib.
Nan jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, nou prepare pou nou soti.
5 And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you have done 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 Seven days you eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a celebration to YHWH;
“Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, e nan setyèm jou a va fè yon gwo fèt a SENYÈ a.
7 unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and anything fermented is not seen with you; indeed, leaven is not seen with you in all your border.
“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 have declared to your son in that day, saying, [It is] because of what YHWH did to me, in my going out from 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 has been to you for a sign on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, so that the Law of YHWH is in your mouth, for by a strong hand YHWH has brought you out from 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 you have kept this statute at its appointed time from days to days.
Pou sa nou va kenbe òdonans sa a nan tan ki chwazi chak ane a.
11 And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite as He has sworn to you and to your fathers, and has given it to 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 have caused everyone opening a womb to pass over to YHWH, and every firstling—the increase of beasts which you have: the males [are] YHWH’s.
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 And every firstling of a donkey you ransom with a lamb, and if you do not ransom [it], then you have beheaded it; and you ransom every firstborn of man among your sons.
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 it has been, when your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [is] this? That you have said to him, By strength of hand YHWH has brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
“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 indeed, it comes to pass, when Pharaoh has been pained to send us away, that YHWH slays every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man even to the firstborn of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to YHWH all opening a womb who [are] males, and I ransom every firstborn of my sons;
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 has been for a token on your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought us 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 it comes to pass in Pharaoh’s sending the people away, that God has not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, “Lest the people sigh in their seeing war, and have turned back toward 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 turns around the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and the sons of Israel have gone up by fifties from 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 takes the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place] 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 they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,
Alò yo te pati depi Succoth pou te vin kanpe Étham akote dezè a.
21 and YHWH is going before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night;
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 He does not remove the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
Li pa t retire pilye nwaj la nan lajounen, ni pilye dife a nan lannwit devan pèp la.
