Exodus 13
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Hallow to me every firstborn, that which any female first beareth among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —mine! it is.
“Nyamũrĩra marigithathi mothe ma twana twa tũhĩĩ. Maciaro ma mbere ma nda o yothe gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli nĩ makwa, marĩ ma mũndũ kana ma nyamũ.”
3 And Moses said unto the people—[Ye are] to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, —there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.
Nake Musa akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Ririkanagai mũthenya ũyũ, mũthenya ũrĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, mũkiuma bũrũri wa ũkombo, tondũ Jehova nĩamũrutire kuo na guoko kwa hinya. Mũtikarĩĩage kĩndũ kĩrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
4 To-day, are, ye, coming forth, —in the month Abib.
Ũmũthĩ, mweri-inĩ ũyũ wa Abibu, nĩguo mũroimagara mũthiĩ.
5 And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.
Rĩrĩa Jehova akaamũkinyia bũrũri wa Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi bũrũri ũrĩa eehĩtire mbere ya maithe manyu ma tene atĩ nĩakamũhe bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ-rĩ, mũkaamenyagĩrĩra gĩathĩ gĩkĩ mweri-inĩ ũyũ:
6 Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia na mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũthondeke iruga inene nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova.
7 Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, —neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,
Rĩĩagai mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja; gũtikoneke kĩndũ kĩrĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia gatagatĩ kanyu, kana ndawa ya kũimbia yoneke handũ o hothe mĩhaka-inĩ yanyu.
8 And thou shalt tell thy son, on that day, saying, —[This is] because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.
Mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ ere mũriũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩreka ũũ tondũ wa ũrĩa Jehova aanjĩkĩire rĩrĩa ndoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.’
9 And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, —for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.
Kũmenyerera mũthenya ũyũ nĩkuo kũrĩtuĩkaga ta rũũri guoko-inĩ gwaku, na kĩririkania ũthiũ-inĩ waku, atĩ watho wa Jehova nĩũrĩikaraga iromo-inĩ ciaku. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwake kwa hinya.
10 So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, —from year to year.
No nginya mũrũmie watho ũyũ mwathane ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya, mwaka o mwaka.
11 And it shall be when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware to thee and to thy fathers, —and shalt give it thee,
“Thuutha wa Jehova kũmũkinyia bũrũri wa Akaanani na amũhe guo, o ta ũrĩa eeranĩire na mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ inyuĩ o na maithe manyu ma tene-rĩ,
12 that thou shalt set apart whatsoever is born first, to Yahweh; and, of all firstlings of beasts which thou shalt have, the males, shall pertain to Yahweh.
nĩmũkahe Jehova maciaro ma mbere ma nda ciothe. Marigithathi ma njamba mothe ma ũhiũ wanyu nĩ ma Jehova.
13 But every firstling of an ass, shalt thou redeem with a lamb or if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck, —but every firstborn of men among thy sons, shalt thou redeem.
Mũgaakũũraga irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa ndigiri na gatũrũme, no mũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra-rĩ, mũriune ngingo. Kũũragai marigithathi mothe manyu ma aanake.
14 And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.
“Matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka, rĩrĩa mũrũguo agaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩ kuuga atĩa?’ mwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova aatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri, agĩtũruta bũrũri wa ũkombo, na guoko gwake kwa hinya.
15 And it came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.
Rĩrĩa Firaũni omirie mũtwe akĩrega gũtũrekereria-rĩ, Jehova nĩooragire marigithathi ma bũrũri wa Misiri mothe, andũ o na nyamũ. Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga ndutĩre Jehova igongona rĩa njamba ciothe iria ciambaga kuuma nda, na ngakũũra mũriũ wakwa wothe wa irigithathi.
16 And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, —that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.
Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũrĩtuĩkaga ta rũũri guoko-inĩ gwaku, o na ũtuĩkage kĩonania gĩĩkĩrĩtwo ũthiũ-inĩ waku, atĩ Jehova nĩatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwake kwa hinya.’”
17 And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, —for God said—Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.
Rĩrĩa Firaũni aarekereirie andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ-rĩ, Ngai ndaamatongoreirie njĩra-inĩ ya kũhĩtũkĩra bũrũri wa Afilisti, o na gũtuĩka ĩyo nĩyo yarĩ njĩra ĩrĩa nguhĩ. Nĩgũkorwo Ngai oigire atĩrĩ, “Mangĩcemania na mbaara-rĩ, maahota kwĩricũkwo, macooke bũrũri wa Misiri.”
18 So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, —and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai agĩgĩtongoria andũ acio mathiũrũrũkĩire njĩra ya werũ-inĩ merekeire Iria Itune. Andũ a Isiraeli maambatire makiuma bũrũri wa Misiri meeohete indo cia mbaara.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, —for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.
Musa nĩakuuire mahĩndĩ ma Jusufu, nĩ ũndũ Jusufu nĩehĩtithĩtie ariũ a Isiraeli na mwĩhĩtwa. Oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩakamũteithia, na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo no nginya mũgaakuua mahĩndĩ makwa kuuma kũndũ gũkũ.”
20 And they brake up from Succoth, —and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.
Thuutha wa kuuma Sukothu maambire kambĩ ciao Ethamu ndeere-inĩ cia werũ.
21 Now, Yahweh, was going before them—by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, —that they might journey day and night:
Mũthenya, Jehova aathiiaga mbere yao arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ gĩa itu gĩa kũmoonereria njĩra, na ũtukũ-rĩ, aathiiaga mbere yao arĩ gĩtugĩ-inĩ kĩa mwaki amamũrĩkĩire njĩra, nĩgeetha mahote gũthiĩ mũthenya o na ũtukũ.
22 the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, —from before the people.
Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu mũthenya kana gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, gũtirĩ kĩeheraga handũ hakĩo mbere ya andũ acio.
