< Thaama 13 >

1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the LORD spake unto 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 unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of 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 unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place: ] there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 Ũmũthĩ, mweri-inĩ ũyũ wa Abibu, nĩguo mũroimagara mũthiĩ.
This day came ye 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:
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt 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 thou shalt 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 seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen 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 son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when I came forth 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 for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
10 No nginya mũrũmie watho ũyũ mwathane ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya, mwaka o mwaka.
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his 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,
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and 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 unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; 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.
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children 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 it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto 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.
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children 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.’”
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth 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 it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent 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 about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed 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 straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 Thuutha wa kuuma Sukothu maambire kambĩ ciao Ethamu ndeere-inĩ cia werũ.
And 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.
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 Gĩtugĩ gĩa itu mũthenya kana gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ, gũtirĩ kĩeheraga handũ hakĩo mbere ya andũ acio.
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
