Exodus 13

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 “Srela wounse mukul nukewa nu sik, tuh wounse mukul nutin mwet Israel ac wounse mukul nutin kosro ac fah ma nutik.”

Hallow to me every firstborn, that which any female first beareth among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —mine! it is.

3 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Esam len se inge — len se ma kowos tuh illa liki facl Egypt, acn se ma kowos tuh mwet kohs we. Pa inge len se ma LEUM GOD El uskowosme ke ku lulap lal. Kowos fah tia mongo bread pulol ke len se inge.

And Moses said unto the people—[Ye are] to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, —there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.

4 Kowos ac som liki Egypt ke len se inge ke malem se meet, malem in Abib.

To-day, are, ye, coming forth, —in the month Abib.

5 LEUM GOD El oru sie wulela ku nu sin mwet matu lowos meet ah mu El ac sot acn sin mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus tuh in acn suwos. Ke El ac uskowosla nu in acn sac, sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, kowos fah akfulatye len in kufwa se inge ke malem se meet in yac nukewa.

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.

6 Ke len itkosr kowos fah mongo bread wangin mwe pulol kac, ac ke len se akitkosr kowos fah orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.

Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.

7 Ke len itkosr kowos fah tia mongo bread ma orekla ke mwe pulol. Ac fah wangin mwe pulol ku bread pulol in kutena acn in facl suwos.

Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, —neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,

8 Ke mutaweyen len in kufwa uh, kowos in aketeya nu sin wen nutuwos lah kowos oru ma inge nukewa ke sripen ma LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos ke kowos illa liki facl Egypt.

And thou shalt tell thy son, on that day, saying, —[This is] because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.

9 Len in kufwa se inge ac fah sie mwe esmakin, oana mwe esmakin ma kowos kapriya ke pouwos ku ke motonsruwos. Ac fah akesmakye kowos in kalwenina in fahkak ac luti Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD, mweyen LEUM GOD El uskowosme liki facl Egypt ke ku lulap lal.

And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, —for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.

10 Kowos in oru na kufwa se inge ke pacl srisrsrisri nu kac ke kais sie yac.

So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, —from year to year.

11 “LEUM GOD El ac uskowosme nu in facl sin mwet Canaan, oana El tuh orek wulela ku kac nu suwos ac mwet matu lowos meet ah. Ke El ac sot facl sacn nu suwos,

And it shall be when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware to thee and to thy fathers, —and shalt give it thee,

12 kowos fah srela wounse mukul nukewa nutuwos nu sin LEUM GOD, oayapa wounse mukul nutin kosro nutuwos ac fah ma lun LEUM GOD.

that thou shalt set apart whatsoever is born first, to Yahweh; and, of all firstlings of beasts which thou shalt have, the males, shall pertain to Yahweh.

13 Kais soko wounse mukul nutin donkey nutuwos an kowos ac moli ke soko sheep fusr. Kowos fin tia lungse moli, na koteya kwawal. Kowos enenu na in molela wounse mukul nukewa nutuwos uh.

But every firstling of an ass, shalt thou redeem with a lamb or if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck, —but every firstborn of men among thy sons, shalt thou redeem.

14 In pacl fahsru uh, ke wen nutuwos ac siyuk suwos, ‘Mea kalmen ma inge?’ kowos fah topkolos mu, ‘LEUM GOD El tuh uskutme ke ku lulap lal liki facl Egypt, acn se ma kut tuh mwet kohs we.

And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.

15 Ke pacl se tokosra lun acn Egypt el akupaye nankal ac tia filikutla in som, LEUM GOD El uniya wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Egypt, ac wounse mukul nukewa nutin kosro. Pa pwanang kut kisakin wounse mukul nutin kosro uh nu sin LEUM GOD, a kut molela wounse mukul natusr uh.

And it came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.

16 Ouiya se inge ac fah sie mwe esmakin, oana sie ma kapiryang nu ke pouwos ku nu ke motonsruwos. Ac fah mwe esmakin ke LEUM GOD El tuh uskutme liki Egypt ke ku lulap lal!’”

And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, —that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.

17 Pacl se ke tokosra lun Egypt el fuhlela mwet uh in som, God El tia usalos ke inkanek soko ma ut weacn uh nu Philistia, finne pa fototo uh. God El fahk mu, “Nga tia lungse mwet uh in ekulla nunak lalos ac folok nu Egypt ke elos liye lah elos ac enenu in mweuni mwet lokoalok lalos.”

And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, —for God said—Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.

18 Ouinge El kololos ke inkanek na loeloes in acn mwesis ma som nu Meoa Srusra. Ke mwet Israel elos illa liki Egypt elos us kufwen mweun natulos.

So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, —and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.

19 Moses el us srel Joseph welul, oana ke Joseph el tuh arulana wili nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Pacl se God El ac uskowosla liki facl se inge, kowos fah us srik in wi kowos som.”

And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, —for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.

20 Mwet Israel som liki acn Sukkoth ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Etham, sisken yen mwesis.

And they brake up from Succoth, —and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.

21 Ke len, LEUM GOD El fahsr meet lukelos ke sie sru in pukunyeng in akkalemye nu selos acn elos ac ut we, ac ke fong uh El fahsr meet lukelos ke sie sru in e, in sang kalem nu selos. Ouinge elos ku in fahsr ke fong ac ke len.

Now, Yahweh, was going before them—by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, —that they might journey day and night:

22 Sru in pukunyeng uh fahsr meet lukelos pacl nukewa ke len, ac sru in e uh ke fong.

the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, —from before the people.
