< Exodus 13 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb amongst the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
“Dooro m nsọ onye ọbụla bụ ọkpara, onye ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel, na nʼetiti mmadụ ma nʼetiti anụ ụlọ, nke m ka ọ bụ.”
3 Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị, “Chetanụ ụbọchị taa, ụbọchị unu si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala ebe unu bụ ndị ohu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼike aka ya dị ukwu kpọpụta unu site nʼebe ahụ. Unu erikwala achịcha ọbụla e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee.
4 Today you go out in the month Abib.
Taa, nʼọnwa Abib, bụ ụbọchị unu na-ahapụ ala Ijipt.
5 It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị dubatara unu nʼala ndị Kenan, ndị Het, ndị Amọrait, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus bi nʼime ya, bụ ala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha na ọ ga-enye unu, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, unu ga-eme ofufe mmemme a nʼọnwa a.
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Unu ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa ahụ. Nʼụbọchị nke ikpeazụ nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, unu ga-eme mmemme oke oriri nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.
Rienụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko nʼime ụbọchị asaa ndị ahụ. Achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee agaghị adị nʼụlọ unu. Achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee agaghị adị nʼoke ala unu niile.
8 You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Nʼoge ọbụla ị na-eme mmemme a, kọwaara nwa gị nwoke ihe kpatara i ji eme mmemme a, si ya, ‘Ana m eme mmemme a maka icheta ihe Onyenwe anyị meere m, mgbe m si nʼIjipt pụta.’
9 It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.
Imezu mmemme a ga-adịrị unu dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼala unu, dịrịkwa ka ihe ngosi nʼegedege ihu unu, ichetara unu na Onyenwe anyị ji aka ike ya dupụta anyị site nʼala Ijipt.
10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Unu ga na-eme mmemme a nʼoge a kara aka nʼafọ ọbụla.
11 “It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
“Mgbe Onyenwe anyị dubatara unu nʼala ndị Kenan, nyefee unu ala ahụ dịka ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha,
12 that you shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be the LORD’s.
unu ga-enyefe Onyenwe anyị ụmụ ndị ikom unu niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ. Ọzọ, ụmụ oke anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man amongst your sons.
Jiri nwa atụrụ gbapụta nwa ịnyịnya ibu mbụ e bụ ụzọ mụọ. Ọ bụrụ na unu achọghị ịgbara nwa ịnyịnya ibu ahụ, unu aghaghị ịgbaji ya olu. Ma unu aghaghị ịgbara ụmụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ.
14 It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
“Nʼoge dị nʼihu, mgbe nwa gị nwoke ga-ajụ gị sị, ‘Gịnị ka ihe ndị a pụtara?’ Ị ga-azaghachi ya sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị jiri aka ike dị ukwu dupụta anyị site nʼIjipt, site nʼala nke ohu.
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
Mgbe Fero mesiri obi ya ike, jụ ka anyị si nʼala ya pụọ, Onyenwe anyị gburu ụmụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ. Nʼihi ya, ana m eji ụmụ oke anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ achụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma ụmụ m ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ ka m na-agbapụta.’
16 It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
Mmemme a ga-adị ka ihe ịrịbama nʼanya unu, dịrịkwa ka ihe ngosi nʼegedege ihu unu, ichetara unu na Onyenwe anyị ji aka ike ya dupụta anyị site nʼala Ijipt.”
17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
Mgbe Fero mesịrị kwere ka ụmụ Izrel laa, Chineke edughị ha site nʼụzọ ahụ gafere ala ndị Filistia. Ọ bụ ezie na ụzọ ahụ dị nso karịa. Chineke mere nke a nʼihi na o chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị a ezute agha, ha nwere ike ịgbanwe obi ha tụgharịa ịlaghachi azụ nʼIjipt.”
18 but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Ya mere, Chineke duuru ha ga nʼụzọ Osimiri Uhie, nke gara nʼụzọ nke ọzara. Ụmụ Izrel kwadokwara akwado ibu agha mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụọ.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”
Mosis buuru ọkpụkpụ Josef mgbe ha na-ala. Nʼihi na o mere ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọ iyi na ha ga-eme otu a, na-asị, “Chineke ga-eleta unu nʼezie, mgbe ahụ, unu aghaghị iburu ọkpụkpụ m si nʼebe a pụọ.”
20 They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Ha si Sukọt bilie ije, maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Etam, na nsọtụ ọzara.
21 The LORD 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, that they might go by day and by night:
Onyenwe anyị ji ogidi igwe ojii na-eje nʼihu ha nʼehihie, idu ha nʼụzọ ha niile. Nʼabalị, o ji ogidi ọkụ, inye ha ìhè ka ha nwee ike ịga njem nʼehihie nakwa nʼabalị.
22 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.
Ma ogidi igwe ojii nʼehihie na ogidi ọkụ ahụ nʼabalị, ọ dịghị nke hapụrụ ọnọdụ ya nʼihu ha.
