Thaama 13
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And 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 every first-born, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: 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.
And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.
4 Ũmũthĩ, mweri-inĩ ũyũ wa Abibu, nĩguo mũroimagara mũthiĩ.
For on this day ye go forth in the month of new [corn].
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:
And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt perform 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.
Six days ye shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is 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.
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with thee, neither shalt thou have leaven in all thy borders.
8 Mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ ere mũriũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩreka ũũ tondũ wa ũrĩa Jehova aanjĩkĩire rĩrĩa ndoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.’
And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going 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.
And it shall be to thee a sign upon thy hand and a memorial before thine eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in thy mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought thee out of Egypt.
10 No nginya mũrũmie watho ũyũ mwathane ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya, mwaka o mwaka.
And preserve ye this law according to the times of the seasons, 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,
And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 nĩmũkahe Jehova maciaro ma mbere ma nda ciothe. Marigithathi ma njamba mothe ma ũhiũ wanyu nĩ ma Jehova.
that thou shalt set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or among thy cattle, as many as thou shalt have: thou shalt sanctify the males to the Lord.
13 Mũgaakũũraga irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa ndigiri na gatũrũme, no mũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra-rĩ, mũriune ngingo. Kũũragai marigithathi mothe manyu ma aanake.
Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass thou shalt change for a sheep; and if thou wilt not change it, thou shalt redeem it: every first-born of man of thy sons shalt thou redeem.
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.
And if thy son should ask thee hereafter, saying, What is this? then thou shalt say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of 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.
And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he slew every first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every first-born of my sons I will 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.’”
And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and immovable before thine eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought thee 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.”
And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and 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.
And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea: and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up 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.”
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.
20 Thuutha wa kuuma Sukothu maambire kambĩ ciao Ethamu ndeere-inĩ cia werũ.
And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by 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.
And God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way, and in the night by a pillar of fire.
22 Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu mũthenya kana gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, gũtirĩ kĩeheraga handũ hakĩo mbere ya andũ acio.
And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
