Exodus 13
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
“Kɔ Israelviwo ƒe ŋutsuvi gbãtɔ ɖe sia ɖe kple lãwo ƒe atsu gbãtɔwo ŋu nam; eɖanye ame alo lã o, tɔnyewoe!”
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 Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be gbe si gbe miedzo le Egipte, eye miedo le kluvinyenye me la, nanye ŋkeke aɖe si dzi miaɖo ŋkui tegbetegbe, elabena Yehowa ɖe mi kple nukunu gãwo. Migaɖu naneke si me amɔʋãtike le la o.
4 Today you go out in the month Abib.
Egbe, ɣleti Abib me, miele ʋuʋum.
5 It shall be, when Yahweh 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.
Ne Yehowa kplɔ mi va Kanaantɔwo, Hititɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo ƒe anyigba si wòka atam na mia fofowo be yeatsɔ ana mi, anyigba ‘si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo’ dzi la, ekema miaɖu ŋkeke sia le dzinu sia me.
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yahweh.
Hena ŋkeke adre la, miaɖu abolo maʋamaʋã, eye le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, miaɖu ŋkekenyui na Yehowa.
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.
Miaɖu abolo maʋamaʋã le ŋkeke adre mawo me; womakpɔ naneke si ʋã la le mia dome o alo akpɔ amɔʋãtike le miaƒe liƒowo me o.
8 You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
Le gbe ma gbe la, migblɔ na mia viŋutsuwo be, ‘Mele esia wɔm ɖe nu si Yehowa wɔ nam, esi medo go le Egipte la ta.’
9 It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that Yahweh’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.
Ŋkeke sia ɖuɖu anɔ na mi abe dzesi ene le miaƒe asiwo kple ŋkuɖodzinu le miaƒe ŋgonu, ale be Yehowa ƒe se la anɔ miaƒe nu me, elabena Yehowa kplɔ mi do goe le Egipte kple asi sesẽ.
10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Eya ta miɖo ŋku nuɖoanyi sia dzi le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la dzi ƒe sia ƒe.
11 “It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
“Ne Yehowa kplɔ mi yi anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na mia fofowo ƒe geɖewo nye esi va yi, afi si Kanaantɔwo le fifia dzi la, miɖo ŋku edzi be,
12 that you shall set apart to Yahweh all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be Yahweh’s.
miaƒe viŋutsuvi gbãtɔwo katã kple lãtsu siwo katã aʋu dɔ nu na miaƒe lãwo la katã nye Yehowa tɔ. Ele be miatsɔ wo nɛ.
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 among your sons.
Miate ŋu atsɔ agbo alo gbɔ̃tsu aɖɔli tedzitsu. Ke ne ame aɖe medi be yeawɔ alea o la, ele na amea be wòawu tedzi la. Ke ele be miaƒle viŋutsuvi ŋgɔgbeviwo katã ta.
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 Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
“Ne mia viwo abia mi be, ‘Nu ka ta miewɔa nu siawo ɖo?’ la, ele be miagblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa tsɔ nukunu gãwo ɖe mí tso kluvinyenye me, tso Egiptenyigba dzi.
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
Farao meɖe mɔ na mí be míadzo o, eya ta Yehowa wu woƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa le Egipte, eya ta míetsɔa atsu sia atsu, si ʋu dɔ nu na dadaa, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa naa Yehowa. Ke woƒlea ŋutsuvi tsitsitɔwo katã ta.’
16 It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
Megale egblɔm na mi be ele be ŋkekenyui sia ɖuɖu nade dzesi mi abe Yehowa ƒe amewo ene, abe ɖe wòtsɔ eƒe nutɔnyenye ƒe dzesi ɖo ŋgonu na mi ene. Enye ŋkuɖodzi be Yehowa tsɔ ŋusẽ gã aɖe ɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi.”
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”;
Esi Farao ɖe asi le ameawo ŋu be woadzo mlɔeba la, Mawu mekplɔ wo to Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi o, togbɔ be eyae nye mɔ kpuitɔ hafi, elabena Mawu gblɔ be ne aʋa dzɔ ɖe wo kple Filistitɔwo dome la, woatrɔ ta me be yewoatrɔ, agbugbɔ ayi Egipte.
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.
Ale Mawu kplɔ wo to gbegbemɔ la dzi ɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la nu. Israelviwo ʋu tso Egipte, nɔ akpababla me hena aʋawɔwɔ.
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.”
Mose tsɔ Yosef ƒe ƒuwo ɖe asi, elabena Yosef na Israelviwo ka atam le Mawu ƒe ŋkume be yewoatsɔ eƒe ƒuwo ɖe asi ne Mawu akplɔ yewo adzoe tso Egipte, abe ale si wòka ɖe edzi be Mawu awɔe ene.
20 They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Esi wodzo le Sukɔt la, woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Etam le gbegbe la to.
21 Yahweh 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:
Yehowa kplɔa wo kple lilikpo dodo aɖe le ŋkeke me. Le zã me la, ekplɔa wo kple dzo bibi aɖe. Ale wotea ŋu zɔa mɔ le ŋkeke me kple zã me siaa.
22 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.
Lilikpo dodo la kple dzo bibi la siaa mebuna ɖe wo ɣe aɖeke ɣi o.
