< Thaama 13 >

1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spake vnto 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.”
Sanctifie vnto me all the first borne: that is, euery one that first openeth the wombe among the children of Israel, as well of man as of beast: for 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.
Then Moses sayd vnto the people, Remember this day in the which ye came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: for by a mightie hande the Lord brought you out from thence: therefore no leauened bread shall bee eaten.
4 Ũmũthĩ, mweri-inĩ ũyũ wa Abibu, nĩguo mũroimagara mũthiĩ.
This day come yee out in the moneth of 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:
Now when the Lord hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Hiuites, and Iebusites (which he sware vnto thy fathers, that he woulde giue thee, a land flowing with milke and honie) then thou shalt keepe this seruice in this moneth.
6 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja mũkaarĩĩaga mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia na mũthenya wa mũgwanja mũthondeke iruga inene nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova.
Seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, and the seuenth day shall be the feast of 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.
Vnleauened bread shall bee eaten seuen dayes, and there shall no leauened bread be seene with thee, nor yet leauen be seene with thee in all thy quarters.
8 Mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ ere mũriũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩreka ũũ tondũ wa ũrĩa Jehova aanjĩkĩire rĩrĩa ndoimire bũrũri wa Misiri.’
And thou shalt shew thy sonne in that day, saying, This is done, because of that which the Lord did vnto 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.
And it shalbe a signe vnto thee vpon thine hande, and for a remembrance betweene thine eyes, that the Lawe of the Lord may be in thy mouth: for by a strong hand the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 No nginya mũrũmie watho ũyũ mwathane ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya, mwaka o mwaka.
Keepe therefore this ordinance in his season appoynted from yeere to yeere.
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 when the Lord shall bring thee into the lande of the Canaanites, as hee sware vnto thee and to thy fathers, and shall giue it thee,
12 nĩmũkahe Jehova maciaro ma mbere ma nda ciothe. Marigithathi ma njamba mothe ma ũhiũ wanyu nĩ ma Jehova.
Then thou shalt set apart vnto the Lord all that first openeth the wombe: also euery thing that first doeth open the wombe, and commeth forth of thy beast: the males shalbe the Lordes.
13 Mũgaakũũraga irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa ndigiri na gatũrũme, no mũngĩaga kũrĩkũũra-rĩ, mũriune ngingo. Kũũragai marigithathi mothe manyu ma aanake.
But euery first foale of an asse, thou shalt redeeme with a lambe: and if thou redeeme him not, then thou shalt breake his necke: likewise all the first borne of man among thy sonnes shalt thou bye out.
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 when thy sonne shall aske thee to morowe, saying, What is this? thou shalt then say vnto him, With a mightie hande the Lord brought vs 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.
For when Pharaoh was harde hearted against our departing, the Lord then slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egypt: from the first borne of man euen to the first borne of beast: therefore I sacrifice vnto the Lord all the males that first open the wombe, but all the first borne of my sonnes I redeeme.
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 shalbe as a token vpon thine hand, and as frontlets betweene thine eyes, that the Lord brought vs out of Egypt by a mightie hande.
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.”
Nowe when Pharaoh had let the people go, God caried them not by the way of the Philistims countrey, though it were neerer: (for God sayd, Lest the people repent whe they see warre, and turne againe 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 made the people to go about by the way of the wildernesse of the red sea: and the children of Israel went vp 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.”
(And Moses tooke the bones of Ioseph with him: for he had made the children of Israel sweare, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall take my bones away hence with you)
20 Thuutha wa kuuma Sukothu maambire kambĩ ciao Ethamu ndeere-inĩ cia werũ.
So they tooke their iourney from Succoth, and camped in Etham in the edge of the wildernesse.
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 the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloude to leade them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to giue them light, that they might go both by day and by night.
22 Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu mũthenya kana gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, gũtirĩ kĩeheraga handũ hakĩo mbere ya andũ acio.
He tooke not away the pillar of ye cloude by day, nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
