Fitowa 13
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Keɓe mini kowane ɗan fari. Ɗan fari wanda ya fara buɗe mahaifa a cikin Isra’ilawa nawa ne, ko na mutum ko na dabba.”
“Set apart all the firstborn males in order that they may belong to me. The firstborn males of the Israeli people and of their animals will be mine.”
3 Sai Musa ya ce wa mutane, “Ku tuna da wannan rana, ranar da kuka fito daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta, gama Ubangiji ya fito da ku da hannu mai iko. Kada ku ci wani abin da yake da yisti.
Moses/I said to the people, “Do not forget this day! This is the day that you are leaving Egypt. This is the day you [are freed from] being their slaves. Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]. Do not eat any bread that has yeast in it [whenever you celebrate] this day.
4 A wannan rana kuka fita, wato, a watan Abib.
You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
5 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya kawo ku cikin ƙasar Kan’aniyawa, Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Hiwiyawa da Yebusiyawa, ƙasar da ya rantse wa kakanninku cewa zai ba ku, ƙasar da take zub da madara da zuma, za ku kiyaye wannan biki a wannan wata.
Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Hiv, and Jebus [now live], the land that he solemnly promised to give to you, a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY], you must celebrate this festival during this month [every year].
6 Kwana bakwai za ku ci burodi marar yisti, a kan rana ta bakwai kuma za ku yi biki ga Ubangiji.
For seven days the bread that you eat must not have any yeast in it. On the seventh day there must be a festival to [honor] Yahweh.
7 Ku ci burodi marar yisti cikin kwana bakwai; kada a sami wani abu mai yisti a cikinku, ko a sami yisti a ko’ina a wurinku.
For seven days do not eat bread that has yeast in it. You should not have any yeast or bread made with yeast anywhere in your land.
8 A ranan nan kowa zai faɗa wa ɗanka, ‘Ina yin haka saboda abin da Ubangiji ya yi mini, sa’ad da na fita daga Masar.’
On the day [the festival starts], you must tell your children, ‘[We are doing this to remember] what Yahweh did for our ancestors when they left Egypt.
9 Wannan abin tunawa zai zama muku alama a hannunku, da kuma a goshinku cewa dokar Ubangiji tana a bakinku. Gama Ubangiji ya fitar da ku daga Masar da hannu mai iko.
This ritual will remind you how Yahweh brought your ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY]. [The ritual will be like something] you tie on your forehead or on your wrist. It will remind you to recite to others what Yahweh has instructed you.
10 Dole ku kiyaye wannan farilla kowace shekara a lokacinta.
So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
11 “Bayan Ubangiji ya kawo ku cikin ƙasar Kan’aniyawa, ya kuma ba da ita yadda ya alkawarta muku da rantsuwa, ku da kakanninku,
Yahweh will bring you into the land where the descendants of Canaan live, just as he promised you and your ancestors that he would do. When he gives that land to you,
12 sai ku miƙa kowane ɗan fari ga Ubangiji. Duk ɗan farin dabbobinku na Ubangiji ne.
you must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
13 Amma a fanshi kowane ɗan farin jakinku da ɗan rago. In kuwa ba za ku fanshe shi ba, sai ku karye wuyansa. Sai ku fanshe kowane ɗan farin daga cikin’ya’yanku.
You may keep the firstborn male donkeys, but you must buy them back by sacrificing a lamb as a substitute for the donkey. If you do not want to buy back the donkey, you must [kill it by] breaking its neck. You must also buy back every one of your own firstborn sons.
14 “A kwanaki masu zuwa, in ɗanka ya tambaye ka, ‘Mene ne manufar wannan?’ Ka faɗa masa cewa, ‘Da hannu mai iko Ubangiji ya fito da mu daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta.
In the future, when one of your children asks, ‘What does this mean?’, you must say to him, ‘Yahweh brought our ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY], and freed us from being slaves there.
15 Sa’ad da Fir’auna ya taurare zuciyarsa, bai yarda ya sallame mu ba, sai Ubangiji ya kashe dukan’ya’yan farin ƙasar Masar, na mutum da na dabba, gaba ɗaya. Domin haka nake yin hadaya ga Ubangiji da’ya’yan fari, maza, da suka fara buɗe mahaifa, amma nakan fanshi dukan’ya’yan farina maza.’
The king of Egypt stubbornly refused to let them leave his country, so Yahweh killed all the firstborn males in Egypt, both the boys and the firstborn of their livestock. That is why we now sacrifice to Yahweh all the firstborn of our livestock, but we buy back our own firstborn sons.’
16 Za tă kuma zama alama a hannunku da kuma shaida a goshinku cewa Ubangiji ya fito da mu daga Masar da hannunsa mai iko.”
I repeat that this ritual will remind you about how Yahweh brought our [ancestors] out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]; it will be like something you tie on your wrist or on your forehead [to remind you of that].”
17 Sa’ad da Fir’auna ya bar mutane su tafi, Allah bai bi da su a hanyar da ta bi ta iyakar Filistiyawa ba, ko da yake wannan hanya ce ta fi kusa. Gama Allah ya ce, “In suka fuskanci yaƙi, wataƙila su canja ra’ayinsu su koma Masar.”
When the king [of Egypt] let the [Israeli] people go, God did not lead them to go through the land of the Philistines. That was a shorter way, but God said, “It would be bad if my people change their minds when they realize that they will have to fight [the Philistines to take their land], and then [decide to] return to Egypt.”
18 Saboda haka Allah ya kewaye da mutanen ta hamada zuwa Jan Teku. Isra’ilawa kuwa suka fita daga Masar da shirin yaƙi.
Instead, God led them to go around through the desert toward the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). When the Israeli people left Egypt, they were carrying weapons to fight [their enemies].
19 Musa ya ɗauki ƙasusuwan Yusuf tare da shi, gama Yusuf ya sa Isra’ilawa su rantse masa. Ya ce, “Tabbatacce Allah zai taimake ku, sai ku ɗibi ƙasusuwana tare da ku daga wannan wuri.”
Moses/I [had them] take along the bones of Joseph with them/us, because Joseph long ago had made the Israeli people promise solemnly that they would do that. He had said to them, “God will enable your descendants to leave Egypt. When that happens, you must carry my bones with you.”
20 Bayan sun bar Sukkot sai suka kafa sansani a Etam a bakin hamada.
The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
21 Da rana Ubangiji yakan ja gabansu a cikin al’amudin girgije domin yă bishe su a kan hanyarsu, da dare kuma a cikin al’amudin wuta domin yă ba su haske, domin su iya tafiya dare da rana.
[When they traveled] during the daytime, Yahweh went in front of them in a tall [white] cloud to show them the way. During the night, he went in front of them in a tall cloud that looked like a fire. By doing that, he enabled them to travel in the daytime and also at nighttime.
22 Al’amudan nan biyu, na girgije da na wuta, ba su daina yi wa jama’a jagora ba.
The tall cloud did not leave them. It was always in front of them, as a bright white cloud in the daytime and like a fire at night.
