Exodus 13

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:

2 "Set apart to me all the firstborn. Whatever is first from the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal; it is mine."

-Se pou nou mete tout premye pitit gason ak tout premye mal bèt yo apa pou mwen. Tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo, tout premye mal bèt yo fè, se pou mwen yo ye.

3 And Moses said to the people, "Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

Moyiz di pèp la: -Pa janm bliye jou sa a, jou nou te soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la, paske se Seyè a menm ki te fè nou soti ak fòs ponyèt li. Jou sa a, se pa pou nou manje pen ki gen ledven ladan l'.

4 On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.

Se jòdi a, se jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, n'ap soti kite peyi Lejip.

5 And it shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you must keep this ceremony in this month.

Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi ki pou moun Kanaran yo, pou moun Et yo, pou moun Amori yo, pou moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a Seyè a te pwomèt l'ap bay zansèt nou yo. Lè l'a fè nou antre nan peyi sa a, n'a toujou fè sèvis sa a nan menm mwa a.

6 Six days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the LORD.

Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a fè yon fèt pou Seyè a.

7 Unleavened bread is to be eaten throughout the seven days. Nothing leavened is to be seen among you, nor is any leaven to be seen among you in all your territory.

Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Yo pa dwe jwenn ni pen ki fèt ak ledven, ni ledven menm lakay nou, nan tout peyi a.

8 And you are to tell your son on that day, saying, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'

Jou sa a, men sa n'a di pitit gason nou yo: Nou fè tou sa pou Seyè a, lè nou chonje tou sa li te fè pou nou lè nou soti kite Lejip la.

9 And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.

Sèvis sa a ap tankou yon mak nan men nou osinon yon bagay nou mete nan tèt nou pou nou pa bliye, pou nou ka toujou fè konnen lòd Seyè a. Paske, se avèk fòs ponyèt li li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.

10 Therefore you are to keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.

Toujou fè sèvis sa a chak lanne, nan dat mwen te fikse a.

11 "And it shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

Lè Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi moun Kanaran yo, dapre pwomès li te fè nou an, nou menm ansanm ak zansèt nou yo, lè Seyè a va ban nou peyi sa a,

12 that you are to set apart to the LORD everything that is first from the womb. Every firstborn male animal belongs to the LORD.

n'a pran tout premye pitit gason nou yo, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. Konsa tou, tout premye pitit bèt nou yo, depi se mal yo ye, se pou mwen yo ye.

13 Every firstborn of a donkey you are to redeem with a lamb, but if you will not redeem it, then you must break its neck. And every firstborn of man among your sons you must redeem.

Nan plas tout premye pitit bourik nou yo, se pou nou ban mwen yon ti mouton. Si nou pa fè sa, se pou nou kase kou l'. Men, n'a ofri m' bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men mwen.

14 And it shall be, when your son asks you in the future, saying, 'What is this?' then you are to tell him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.

Denmen, lè pitit gason nou yo va mande nou poukisa nou fè sa, n'a di yo: Se paske se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.

15 And it happened, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. This is why I am sacrificing to the LORD any male that is first from the womb of an animal, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.'

Seyè a te touye depi premye pitit gason moun peyi Lejip yo rive jouk premye mal bèt yo fè, paske farawon an t'ap fè tèt di, li pa t' vle kite nou ale. Se poutèt sa nou ofri bay Seyè a tout premye mal bèt nou yo fe, epi nou ofri lòt bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men l'.

16 So it will be as a sign on your hand and at the front of a headband around your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."

Sèvis sa a va tounen tankou yon mak sou men nou, tankou bando nou mare sou fwon nou, pou fè nou chonje se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip.

17 Then it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt."

Lè farawon an kite pèp Izrayèl la pati, Bondye pa mennen yo nan wout ki pase bò lanmè a pou ale nan peyi moun Filisti yo, atout se wout sa a ki te pi kout, paske Bondye te di: Mwen pa vle pou pèp la gen remò pou yo kase tèt tounen nan peyi Lejip la ankò, lè y'a wè batay yo gen pou yo fè.

18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up from the land of Egypt prepared for battle.

Se konsa, Bondye fè pèp la pran chemen dezè a nan direksyon lanmè Wouj la. Pèp Izrayèl la te soti kite peyi Lejip la tankou yon lame.

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear an oath, saying, "God will surely attend to you, and you are to carry my bones up with you from this place."

Moyiz pran zosman Jozèf yo avèk li, paske Jozèf te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sèman. Li te di yo: Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, se pou nou pati ak zosman mwen soti isit la.

20 Then they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.

Yo kite Soukòt, yo rive yon kote ki rele Etam, sou lizyè dezè a, yo pase kèk tan la.

21 And God went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night.

Lajounen, Seyè a t'ap mache devan yo nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto pou moutre yo chemen pou yo pran. Lannwit, li t'ap mache devan yo nan yon dife ki te tankou yon flanm ki t'ap klere yo. Konsa, yo te ka vwayaje lajounen kou lannwit.

22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire at night from in front of the people.

Lajounen, nwaj la te toujou ap mache devan pèp la. Lannwit, se te dife a.
