< Ọpụpụ 13 >
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Dooro m nsọ onye ọbụla bụ ọkpara, onye ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel, na nʼetiti mmadụ ma nʼetiti anụ ụlọ, nke m ka ọ bụ.”
Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
3 Mosis gwara ndị Izrel sị, “Chetanụ ụbọchị taa, ụbọchị unu si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala ebe unu bụ ndị ohu, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼike aka ya dị ukwu kpọpụta unu site nʼebe ahụ. Unu erikwala achịcha ọbụla e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee.
And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you 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 Taa, nʼọnwa Abib, bụ ụbọchị unu na-ahapụ ala Ijipt.
For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].
5 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị dubatara unu nʼala ndị Kenan, ndị Het, ndị Amọrait, ndị Hiv na ndị Jebus bi nʼime ya, bụ ala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha na ọ ga-enye unu, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, unu ga-eme ofufe mmemme a nʼọnwa a.
And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.
6 Unu ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko ụbọchị asaa ahụ. Nʼụbọchị nke ikpeazụ nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ, unu ga-eme mmemme oke oriri nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.
7 Rienụ achịcha na-ekoghị eko nʼime ụbọchị asaa ndị ahụ. Achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee agaghị adị nʼụlọ unu. Achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee agaghị adị nʼoke ala unu niile.
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.
8 Nʼoge ọbụla ị na-eme mmemme a, kọwaara nwa gị nwoke ihe kpatara i ji eme mmemme a, si ya, ‘Ana m eme mmemme a maka icheta ihe Onyenwe anyị meere m, mgbe m si nʼIjipt pụta.’
And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.
9 Imezu mmemme a ga-adịrị unu dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼala unu, dịrịkwa ka ihe ngosi nʼegedege ihu unu, ichetara unu na Onyenwe anyị ji aka ike ya dupụta anyị site nʼala Ijipt.
And it shall be to you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.
10 Unu ga na-eme mmemme a nʼoge a kara aka nʼafọ ọbụla.
And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.
11 “Mgbe Onyenwe anyị dubatara unu nʼala ndị Kenan, nyefee unu ala ahụ dịka ọ ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye nna nna unu ha,
And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to your fathers, and shall give it you,
12 unu ga-enyefe Onyenwe anyị ụmụ ndị ikom unu niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ. Ọzọ, ụmụ oke anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
that you shall set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or among your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.
13 Jiri nwa atụrụ gbapụta nwa ịnyịnya ibu mbụ e bụ ụzọ mụọ. Ọ bụrụ na unu achọghị ịgbara nwa ịnyịnya ibu ahụ, unu aghaghị ịgbaji ya olu. Ma unu aghaghị ịgbara ụmụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ.
Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons shall you redeem.
14 “Nʼoge dị nʼihu, mgbe nwa gị nwoke ga-ajụ gị sị, ‘Gịnị ka ihe ndị a pụtara?’ Ị ga-azaghachi ya sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị jiri aka ike dị ukwu dupụta anyị site nʼIjipt, site nʼala nke ohu.
And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
15 Mgbe Fero mesiri obi ya ike, jụ ka anyị si nʼala ya pụọ, Onyenwe anyị gburu ụmụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ. Nʼihi ya, ana m eji ụmụ oke anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ achụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma ụmụ m ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ ka m na-agbapụta.’
And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.
16 Mmemme a ga-adị ka ihe ịrịbama nʼanya unu, dịrịkwa ka ihe ngosi nʼegedege ihu unu, ichetara unu na Onyenwe anyị ji aka ike ya dupụta anyị site nʼala Ijipt.”
And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and immovable before your eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
17 Mgbe Fero mesịrị kwere ka ụmụ Izrel laa, Chineke edughị ha site nʼụzọ ahụ gafere ala ndị Filistia. Ọ bụ ezie na ụzọ ahụ dị nso karịa. Chineke mere nke a nʼihi na o chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị a ezute agha, ha nwere ike ịgbanwe obi ha tụgharịa ịlaghachi azụ nʼIjipt.”
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 Ya mere, Chineke duuru ha ga nʼụzọ Osimiri Uhie, nke gara nʼụzọ nke ọzara. Ụmụ Izrel kwadokwara akwado ibu agha mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụọ.
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 Mosis buuru ọkpụkpụ Josef mgbe ha na-ala. Nʼihi na o mere ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọ iyi na ha ga-eme otu a, na-asị, “Chineke ga-eleta unu nʼezie, mgbe ahụ, unu aghaghị iburu ọkpụkpụ m si nʼebe a pụọ.”
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 you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
20 Ha si Sukọt bilie ije, maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Etam, na nsọtụ ọzara.
And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.
21 Onyenwe anyị ji ogidi igwe ojii na-eje nʼihu ha nʼehihie, idu ha nʼụzọ ha niile. Nʼabalị, o ji ogidi ọkụ, inye ha ìhè ka ha nwee ike ịga njem nʼehihie nakwa nʼabalị.
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 Ma ogidi igwe ojii nʼehihie na ogidi ọkụ ahụ nʼabalị, ọ dịghị nke hapụrụ ọnọdụ ya nʼihu ha.
And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
