Thaama 13
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “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.”
“Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
3 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.
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.
4 Ũmũthĩ, mweri-inĩ ũyũ wa Abibu, nĩguo mũroimagara mũthiĩ.
Today you go out in the month Abib.
5 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:
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.
6 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia na mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũthondeke iruga inene nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova.
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 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.
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.
8 Mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ ere mũriũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩreka ũũ tondũ wa ũrĩa Jehova aanjĩkĩire rĩrĩa ndoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.’
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.’
9 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.
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.
10 No nginya mũrũmie watho ũyũ mwathane ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya, mwaka o mwaka.
You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
11 “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,
“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,
12 nĩmũkahe Jehova maciaro ma mbere ma nda ciothe. Marigithathi ma njamba mothe ma ũhiũ wanyu nĩ ma Jehova.
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.
13 Mũgaakũũraga irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa ndigiri na gatũrũme, no mũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra-rĩ, mũriune ngingo. Kũũragai marigithathi mothe manyu ma aanake.
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.
14 “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.
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.
15 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.
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.’
16 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.’”
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.”
17 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.”
When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not 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”;
18 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.
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.
19 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.”
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.”
20 Thuutha wa kuuma Sukothu maambire kambĩ ciao Ethamu ndeere-inĩ cia werũ.
They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 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.
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:
22 Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu mũthenya kana gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, gũtirĩ kĩeheraga handũ hakĩo mbere ya andũ acio.
the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, did not depart from before the people.
