< Exodus 13 >

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
2 “Set apart to me all the firstborn, every firstborn male among the Israelites, both of people and animals. The firstborn belongs to me.”
Hamasino ho Ahy ny lahimatoa rehetra, dia izay voalohan-teraka rehetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, na olona na biby fiompy: Ahy ireny.
3 Moses said to the people, “Call this day to mind, the day on which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by Yahweh's strong hand he brought you out from this place. No bread with yeast may be eaten.
Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny olona: Tsarovy izao andro izao, izay nivoahanareo avy tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana, fa tamin’ ny tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah anareo nivoaka avy tany; koa aza misy mihinana izay misy masirasira.
4 You are going out of Egypt on this day, in the month of Aviv.
Izao andro amin’ ny volana Abiba izao no ivoahanareo
5 When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and the Jebusites, the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—then you must observe this act of worship in this month.
Ary raha hitondra anao Jehovah ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao homena anao, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, dia hanao izany fanompoana izany ianao amin’ izao volana izao.
6 For seven days you must eat bread without yeast; on the seventh day there will be a feast to honor Yahweh.
Hafitoana no hihinananao mofo tsy misy masirasira, ary amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hisy andro firavoravoana ho an’ i Jehovah.
7 Bread without yeast must be eaten throughout the seven days; no bread with yeast may be seen among you. No yeast may be seen with you within any of your borders.
Ny mofo tsy misy masirasira hohanina mandritra ny hafitoana; ary tsy hisy eo aminao izay mofo misy masirasira, ary tsy hisy izay masirasira akory ao aminao eny amin’ ny taninao rehetra.
8 On that day you are to say to your children, 'This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
Dia hambaranao amin’ ny zanakao amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Noho ny nataon’ i Jehovah tamiko tamin’ ny nivoahako avy tany Egypta no anaovako izao.
9 This will be a reminder for you on your hand, and a reminder on your forehead. This is so the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.
Dia ho famantarana ho anao eo amin’ ny tananao ary ho fampahatsiarovana eo ambonin’ ny handrinao izany, mba ho ao am-bavanao ny lalàn’ i Jehovah: fa tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah anao nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
10 Therefore you must keep this law at its appointed time from year to year.
Dia tandremo amin’ ny fotoany isan-taona izao lalàna izao.
11 When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your ancestors to do, and when he gives the land to you,
Ary raha hitondra anao Jehovah ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita araka izay nianianany taminao sy ny razanao, ka homeny anao izany,
12 you must set apart to Yahweh the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn offspring of your animals that are males, will belong to Yahweh.
dia hatokanao ho an’ i Jehovah izay voalohan-teraka rehetra: ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy rehetra izay anananao, dia ho an’ i Jehovah ny lahy rehetra;
13 Every firstborn of a donkey you must buy back with a lamb. If you do not buy it back, then you must break its neck. But each of your firstborn males among all your sons—you must buy them back.
ary ny voalohan-teraky ny boriky dia hosoloanao zanak’ ondry; fa raha tsy hanolo azy ianao, dia hofolahinao ny vozony; ary ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny olona eo amin’ ny zanakao dia havotanao.
14 When your son asks you later, 'What does this mean?' then you are to tell him, 'It was by a strong hand that Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.
Ary raha hanontany anao ny zanakao amin’ ny andro ho avy ka hanao hoe: Inona no anton’ izao? dia holazainao aminy hoe: Tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana;
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. That is why I sacrifice to Yahweh the firstborn male of every animal, and why I buy back the firstborn of my sons.'
ary raha nanamafy ny fony ka tsy nandefa antsika Farao, dia novonoin’ i Jehovah ny lahimatoa rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny olona ka hatramin’ ny voalohan-teraky ny biby; koa izany no anaterako ho an’ i Jehovah ny lahy voalohan-teraka rehetra, fa ny lahimatoa rehetra amin’ ny zanako dia soloako.
16 This will become a reminder on your hands, and a reminder on your forehead, for it was by a strong hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
Ary ho famantarana eo amin’ ny tananao sy ho fehy eo ambonin’ ny handrinao izany; fa tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that land was nearby. For God said, “Perhaps the people will change their minds when they experience war and will then return to Egypt.”
Ary rehefa nalefan’ i Farao ny olona, dia tsy mba nentin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny lalana nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina izy, na dia akaiky aza izany; fa hoy Andriamanitra: Andrao hanenina ny olona, raha mahita ady, ka hiverina any Egypta.
18 So God led the people around through the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt armed for battle.
Fa nentin’ Andriamanitra nivily ho amin’ ny lalana mahazo any an-efitra amoron’ ny Ranomasina Mena ny olona; ary voaomana hiady ny fiakatry ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear and said, “God will surely rescue you, and you must carry away my bones with you.”
Ary nentin’ i Mosesy niaraka taminy ny taolan’ i Josefa, satria Josefa efa nampianiana dia nampianiana ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Hamangy anareo tokoa Andriamanitra, dia hitondra ny taolako hiala atỳ miaraka aminareo ianareo.
20 The Israelites journeyed from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Dia nifindra niala tao Sokota izy ka nitoby tao Etama teo an-tsisin’ ny efitra.
21 Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way. By night he went in a pillar of fire to give them light. In this way they could travel by day and by night.
Ary Jehovah nandeha teo alohany tamin’ ny andri-rahona raha antoandro hitari-dalana azy, ary tamin’ ny andri-afo nony alina ho fahazavana ho azy, handehanany andro aman’ alina.
22 Yahweh did not take away from before the people the daytime pillar of cloud or the nighttime pillar of fire.
Ny andri-rahona tsy niala teo alohan’ ny olona raha antoandro, na ny andri-afo nony alina.
