Egzòd 13
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 -Se pou nou mete tout premye pitit gason ak tout premye mal bèt yo apa pou mwen. Tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo, tout premye mal bèt yo fè, se pou mwen yo ye.
'Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.'
3 Moyiz di pèp la: -Pa janm bliye jou sa a, jou nou te soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la, paske se Seyè a menm ki te fè nou soti ak fòs ponyèt li. Jou sa a, se pa pou nou manje pen ki gen ledven ladan l'.
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Remember this day [in] which ye have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this, and any thing fermented is not eaten;
4 Se jòdi a, se jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, n'ap soti kite peyi Lejip.
To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib.
5 Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi ki pou moun Kanaran yo, pou moun Et yo, pou moun Amori yo, pou moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a Seyè a te pwomèt l'ap bay zansèt nou yo. Lè l'a fè nou antre nan peyi sa a, n'a toujou fè sèvis sa a nan menm mwa a.
'And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou hast done this service in this month.
6 Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a fè yon fèt pou Seyè a.
'Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a feast to Jehovah;
7 Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Yo pa dwe jwenn ni pen ki fèt ak ledven, ni ledven menm lakay nou, nan tout peyi a.
unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.
8 Jou sa a, men sa n'a di pitit gason nou yo: Nou fè tou sa pou Seyè a, lè nou chonje tou sa li te fè pou nou lè nou soti kite Lejip la.
'And thou hast declared to thy son in that day, saying, '[It is] because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out from Egypt,
9 Sèvis sa a ap tankou yon mak nan men nou osinon yon bagay nou mete nan tèt nou pou nou pa bliye, pou nou ka toujou fè konnen lòd Seyè a. Paske, se avèk fòs ponyèt li li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;
10 Toujou fè sèvis sa a chak lanne, nan dat mwen te fikse a.
and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season from days to days.
11 Lè Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi moun Kanaran yo, dapre pwomès li te fè nou an, nou menm ansanm ak zansèt nou yo, lè Seyè a va ban nou peyi sa a,
'And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it to thee,
12 n'a pran tout premye pitit gason nou yo, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. Konsa tou, tout premye pitit bèt nou yo, depi se mal yo ye, se pou mwen yo ye.
that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling — the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males [are] Jehovah's.
13 Nan plas tout premye pitit bourik nou yo, se pou nou ban mwen yon ti mouton. Si nou pa fè sa, se pou nou kase kou l'. Men, n'a ofri m' bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men mwen.
'And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom [it], then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.
14 Denmen, lè pitit gason nou yo va mande nou poukisa nou fè sa, n'a di yo: Se paske se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
'And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [is] this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
15 Seyè a te touye depi premye pitit gason moun peyi Lejip yo rive jouk premye mal bèt yo fè, paske farawon an t'ap fè tèt di, li pa t' vle kite nou ale. Se poutèt sa nou ofri bay Seyè a tout premye mal bèt nou yo fe, epi nou ofri lòt bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men l'.
yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who [are] males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;
16 Sèvis sa a va tounen tankou yon mak sou men nou, tankou bando nou mare sou fwon nou, pou fè nou chonje se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip.
and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.'
17 Lè farawon an kite pèp Izrayèl la pati, Bondye pa mennen yo nan wout ki pase bò lanmè a pou ale nan peyi moun Filisti yo, atout se wout sa a ki te pi kout, paske Bondye te di: Mwen pa vle pou pèp la gen remò pou yo kase tèt tounen nan peyi Lejip la ankò, lè y'a wè batay yo gen pou yo fè.
And it cometh to pass in Pharaoh's sending the people away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, 'Lest the people repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards Egypt;'
18 Se konsa, Bondye fè pèp la pran chemen dezè a nan direksyon lanmè Wouj la. Pèp Izrayèl la te soti kite peyi Lejip la tankou yon lame.
and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up from the land of Egypt.
19 Moyiz pran zosman Jozèf yo avèk li, paske Jozèf te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sèman. Li te di yo: Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, se pou nou pati ak zosman mwen soti isit la.
And Moses taketh the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this with you.'
20 Yo kite Soukòt, yo rive yon kote ki rele Etam, sou lizyè dezè a, yo pase kèk tan la.
And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,
21 Lajounen, Seyè a t'ap mache devan yo nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto pou moutre yo chemen pou yo pran. Lannwit, li t'ap mache devan yo nan yon dife ki te tankou yon flanm ki t'ap klere yo. Konsa, yo te ka vwayaje lajounen kou lannwit.
and Jehovah is going before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night;
22 Lajounen, nwaj la te toujou ap mache devan pèp la. Lannwit, se te dife a.
He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
