Eksodosy 13
1 Nitsara ty hoe amy Mosè t’Iehovà:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Avaho ho ahy ze hene lahilahy valohan’ anake. I manoka-koviñe amo ana’ Israeleo, ke ondaty he hare, ahiko irezay.
“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 Hoe t’i Mosè am’ondatio, Tiahio ty andro toy, ty niavota’ areo i Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao; amy t’ie nampiengà’ Iehovà atoy an-kaozaram-pità’e; le tsy ho kamaeñe ty mofo aman-dalivay.
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 Androany ami’ty volan-kofahofa, ty niavota’ areo.
You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
5 Aa naho minday azo mb’an-tane’ o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Kheteo naho o nte-Emòreo naho o nte-Kiveo vaho mb’amo nte-Iebosìo añe t’Iehovà, ie nampitamae’e an-droae’o am-pànta hatolots’ azo; tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele, le hambena’o ami’ty volañe toy o fitalahoañe zao.
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 Fito andro ty hikama’o mofo po-dalivay vaho ano Sabadidake. am’ Iehovà amy andro faha-fitoy.
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 Ho kamaeñe fito andro ty mofo po-dalivay, le tsy ho tendrek’ ama’o ty mofo aman-dalivay vaho tsy ho zoeñe ama’o, an-toe’o iaby ty lalivay.
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 Ty hoe ty hatoro’o ami’ty ana-dahi’o amy andro zay, Ie i nanoe’ Iehovà ho ahikoy, t’ie niavotse i Mitsraime.
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 Ho viloñe ama’o am-pità’o naho tiahy añivom-pihaino’o eo soa te ho am-palie’o ty Ha’ Iehovày, amy te am-pitàñe maozatse ty nampiavota’ Iehovà azo amy Mitsraime.
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 Aa le hambena’o amy namotoaña’e azey boa-taoñe o fañè zao.
So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
11 Naho ninday azo an-tane’ o nte-Kanàneo t’Iehovà, ie nifañina ama’o naho an-droae’o vaho fa natolo’e azo,
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 le havì’o ho a Iehovà ze hene manoka-koviñe naho ze fonga valohan’ anan-kare’o, a Iehovà o lahi’eo.
you must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
13 Fa ho jebañe’o ami’ty añondry ka ty valohan’ ana-borìke, aa naho tsy lefe’o jebañeñe, le tsi-mete tsy kitsihe’o ty loha’e. Aa le ho jebañe’o ty tañoloñoloñan-anadahi’o.
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 Ie añe naho mañontane azo ty ana’o ami’ty hoe: Ino zao. Le hatoi’o ty hoe, An-kaozaram-pità’e ro nampiengà’ Iehovà anay i Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao.
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 Ie nifoneñe tsy hampienga anay t’i Parò, le vinono’ Iehovà ze fonga valohan’ anake an-tane Mitsraime ao, ty tañoloñoloña’ ondaty naho ty valohan’ anan-kare. Aa le soroñeko am’ Iehovà ze lahi’e manokake ty hoviñe, fe ho jebañeko ze tañoloñoloñan’ anadahiko.
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 Le ho sokitse am-pità’o eo zay vaho alama aolo’ o maso’oo te ninday antika niavotse e Mitsraime am-pità’e maozatse t’Iehovà.
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 Naho nampienga’ i Parò ondatio, le tsy niaoloan’ Añahare mb’an-tane o nte-Pilistio mb’eo ndra t’ie narine. Fa hoe t’i Andrianañahare, hera hibalintoa ondatio te miatrek’ aly naho hibalike mb’e Mitsraime añe.
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 Te mone nampiarien’ Añahare mb’ an-dalan-diolio’ i Riake Menay ondatio. Le nangovovoke boake Mitsraime o ana’ Israeleo.
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 Le nendese’ i Mosè mindre ama’e ty taola’ Iosefe amy nampifantà’e o ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Toe hitilik’ anahareo t’i Andrianañahare vaho hampindreze’ areo ama’areo boak’ atoa o taolakoo.
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 Ie niavotse i Sokote iereo le nitobe Etame añ’olo’ i ratraratray.
The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
21 Niaoloa’ Iehovà an-drahoñe mitiotiotse te antoandro nitarike i liay vaho an’afo mijoala te haleñe hañomea’e hazavàñe hañaveloañe handro naho haleñe.
[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 Tsy nisitak’ ami’ty fiaoloa’e ondatio i rahoñe nitiotiotsey te antoandro, ndra i afo nijoalay te haleñe.
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.
