Kobima 13
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 « Bulisela Ngai mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso kati na bana ya Isalaele; ezala moto to nyama, azali ya Ngai. »
Sanctifie vnto me all the first borne: that is, euery one that first openeth the wombe among the children of Israel, as well of man as of beast: for it is mine.
3 Moyize alobaki na bato: « Bokanisa mokolo oyo bobimaki na Ejipito, mokolo oyo bobimaki na bowumbu, pamba te Yawe abimisaki bino na loboko na Ye ya nguya. Bokolia eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire.
Then Moses sayd vnto the people, Remember this day in the which ye came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: for by a mightie hande the Lord brought you out from thence: therefore no leauened bread shall bee eaten.
4 Bozali kobima nde lelo oyo, na sanza ya abibi.
This day come yee out in the moneth of Abib.
5 Tango Yawe akokotisa yo na mokili ya bato ya Kanana, ya bato ya Iti, ya bato ya Amori, ya bato ya Evi mpe ya bato ya Yebusi, mokili oyo alakaki na batata na bino, na nzela ya ndayi, ete akopesa bino yango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, okosala feti oyo na sanza oyo.
Now when the Lord hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Hiuites, and Iebusites (which he sware vnto thy fathers, that he woulde giue thee, a land flowing with milke and honie) then thou shalt keepe this seruice in this moneth.
6 Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire; na mokolo ya sambo, bokosala feti mpo na Yawe.
Seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, and the seuenth day shall be the feast of the Lord.
7 Bokolia mapa ezanga levire mikolo sambo, mpe eloko moko te oyo ezali na levire ekomonana kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
Vnleauened bread shall bee eaten seuen dayes, and there shall no leauened bread be seene with thee, nor yet leauen be seene with thee in all thy quarters.
8 Na mokolo wana, bokoyebisa na bana na bino ya mibali: ‹ Nazali kosala molulu oyo mpo na kokanisa makambo oyo Yawe asalelaki ngai tango abimisaki ngai na Ejipito. ›
And thou shalt shew thy sonne in that day, saying, This is done, because of that which the Lord did vnto me, when I came out of Egypt.
9 Feti oyo bokosala ekozala lokola elembo na loboko na bino mpe ekaniseli na elongi na bino mpo ete mibeko ya Yawe ezala na bibebu na bino, pamba te Ye nde abimisaki bino na Ejipito na loboko na Ye ya nguya.
And it shalbe a signe vnto thee vpon thine hande, and for a remembrance betweene thine eyes, that the Lawe of the Lord may be in thy mouth: for by a strong hand the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Bokobatela mobu na mobu mibeko oyo na eleko na yango.
Keepe therefore this ordinance in his season appoynted from yeere to yeere.
11 Tango Yawe akokotisa bino na mokili ya Kanana mpe akopesa bino yango ndenge alakaki yango, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino mpe epai na bino,
And when the Lord shall bring thee into the lande of the Canaanites, as hee sware vnto thee and to thy fathers, and shall giue it thee,
12 bokobonzela Ye bana mibali nyonso ya liboso: bana nyonso ya liboso ya banyama ekozala ya Yawe.
Then thou shalt set apart vnto the Lord all that first openeth the wombe: also euery thing that first doeth open the wombe, and commeth forth of thy beast: the males shalbe the Lordes.
13 Kasi soki mwana yango ya liboso ya nyama ezali mwana ya ane, bosengeli kobonza na esika na yango mwana meme; soki te, bokobuka yango kingo. Kasi bokosikola na mbongo mwana nyonso ya liboso kati na bana na bino ya mibali.
But euery first foale of an asse, thou shalt redeeme with a lambe: and if thou redeeme him not, then thou shalt breake his necke: likewise all the first borne of man among thy sonnes shalt thou bye out.
14 Mikolo ekoya, tango bana na bino ya mibali bakotuna bino: ‹ Molulu oyo elakisi nini? › Bokoloba na bango: ‹ Ezali na nguya na Ye nde Yawe abimisaki biso na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu.
And when thy sonne shall aske thee to morowe, saying, What is this? thou shalt then say vnto him, With a mightie hande the Lord brought vs out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
15 Tango Faraon aboyaki kotika biso kokende, Yawe abomaki kati na Ejipito mwana nyonso ya liboso, ezala ya moto to ya nyama. Yango wana nazali kobonzela Yawe bana nyonso ya liboso kati na banyama mpe nazali kosikola bana nyonso ya liboso kati na bana na ngai. ›
For when Pharaoh was harde hearted against our departing, the Lord then slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egypt: from the first borne of man euen to the first borne of beast: therefore I sacrifice vnto the Lord all the males that first open the wombe, but all the first borne of my sonnes I redeeme.
16 Mpe yango ekozala lokola elembo na loboko na bino mpe ekaniseli na elongi na bino, pamba te Yawe abimisaki bino na Ejipito na nzela ya loboko na Ye ya nguya. »
And it shalbe as a token vpon thine hand, and as frontlets betweene thine eyes, that the Lord brought vs out of Egypt by a mightie hande.
17 Tango Faraon atikaki bana ya Isalaele kokende, Nzambe amemaki bango te na nzela ya mboka ya Filisitia atako yango nde ezalaki mokuse, pamba te Nzambe amilobelaki: « Soki bakutani na bitumba, bakoyoka mawa na ndenge babimaki na Ejipito mpe bakoluka kozonga kuna. »
Nowe when Pharaoh had let the people go, God caried them not by the way of the Philistims countrey, though it were neerer: (for God sayd, Lest the people repent whe they see warre, and turne againe to Egypt)
18 Boye, Nzambe amemaki bato na nzela ya molayi, na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe, na ngambo ya ebale monene ya barozo. Bato ya Isalaele babimaki libanda ya Ejipito na molongo lokola mampinga ya basoda.
But God made the people to go about by the way of the wildernesse of the red sea: and the children of Israel went vp armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 Moyize azwaki mikuwa ya Jozefi, pamba te Jozefi alapisaki bana ya Isalaele ndayi; alobaki: « Solo, Nzambe akozanga te kosunga bino, boye bokolongola mikuwa na ngai na esika oyo mpe bokomema yango elongo na bino. »
(And Moses tooke the bones of Ioseph with him: for he had made the children of Israel sweare, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall take my bones away hence with you)
20 Tango balongwaki na Sukoti mpe batongaki molako na Etami, na mondelo ya esobe,
So they tooke their iourney from Succoth, and camped in Etham in the edge of the wildernesse.
21 Yawe atambolaki liboso na bango, na moyi lokola likonzi ya lipata mpo na kolakisa bango nzela, mpe na butu lokola likonzi ya moto mpo na kongengisa bango, mpo ete batambola butu mpe moyi.
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloude to leade them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to giue them light, that they might go both by day and by night.
22 Likonzi ya lipata na moyi to likonzi ya moto na butu elongwaki na esika na yango te liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
He tooke not away the pillar of ye cloude by day, nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
