Ekoruhe 13
1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Whakatapua maku nga mea matamua katoa; nga mea katoa a nga tama a Iharaira e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, a te tangata, a te kararehe, maku.
“Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
3 A i mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kia mahara ki tenei ra i haere atu ai koutou i Ihipa, i te whare pononga; he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina ai koutou e Ihowa i konei: kaua hoki te taro rewena e kainga.
Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
4 Ko te ra tenei i haere atu ai koutou, ko Apipi te marama.
Today you go out in the month Abib.
5 Na ka kawea koe a mua e Ihowa ki te whenua o nga Kanaani, o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi, i oati ai ia ki ou matua ka hoatu ki a koe, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, ko reira koe mahi ai i tenei mea, i tenei mara ma ano.
It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
6 E whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore, a hei te ra whitu te hakari a Ihowa.
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 E whitu nga ra e kainga ai te taro rewenakore: aua hoki te taro rewena e kitea ki a koe; aua ano e kitea ki a koe he rewena i ou rohe katoa.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.
8 A mau e korero ki tau tama i taua ra, e mea, Mo ta Ihowa i mea ai ki ahau tenei, i toku haerenga mai i Ihipa.
You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
9 Hei tohu ano tena ki a koe i tou ringa, hei whakamahara hoki ki waenganui i ou kanohi; kia mau ai te ture a Ihowa i roto i tou waha: he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina ai koe e Ihowa i Ihipa.
It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.
10 Na kia mau ki tenei tikanga i tona wa ano, i tenei tau, i tenei tau.
You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
11 Na ka kawea koe e Ihowa ki te whenua o nga Kanaani, ki tana i oati ai ki a koutou ko ou matua, a ka homai a reira e ia ki a koe,
“It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
12 Ko reira wehea ai e koe ma Ihowa nga mea katoa e puta tuatahi mai ana i te kopu, me nga matamua katoa o au kararehe; ko nga tane ma Ihowa.
that you shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be the LORD’s.
13 Otiia, me utu e koe ki te reme nga matamua katoa a te kaihe; a ki te kahore e utua e koe, whatiia tona kaki: ko nga matamua katoa hoki a te tangata, i roto i au tamariki, me utu e koe.
Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.
14 A, tenei ake, ki te ui tau tama ki a koe a mua, ki te mea, He aha tenei? Na ka mea ki a ia, He kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa, i te whare pononga:
It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
15 A, i te mea ka pakeke a Parao ki te tuku i a matou, na patua iho e Ihowa nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa, te matamua a te tangata, te matamua ano hoki a te kararehe: na reira i patua ai e ahau ma Ihowa nga mea katoa e puta tuatahi mai ana i te kopu, nga toa; ko nga matamua katoa ia o aku tama e utua ana e ahau.
When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
16 A, hei tohu tena ki tou ringa hei pare ki waenganui i ou kanohi: he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa.
It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
17 A, i te tukunga o te iwi e Parao, kihai a Ihowa i arahi i a ratou na te huarahi i te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ahakoa tata tera: i mea hoki te Atua, Kei awangawanga te iwi, ua kite ratou i te pakanga, a ka hoki ki Ihipa:
When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
18 Engari i arahina awhiotia te iwi e te Atua na te huarahi i te koraha o te Moana Whero: a haere topuni ana nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa.
but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 I maua atu ano e Mohi nga wheua o Hohepa; nana hoki i whakaoati marie nga tama a Iharaira, i mea, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua; a ma koutou e mau atu oku wheua i konei.
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”
20 A ka turia mai e ratou i Hukota, a noho rawa ki Etama, ki te pito o te koraha.
They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 A haere ana a Ihowa i mua i a ratou, i te pou kapua i te awatea, hei arahi i a ratou i te huarahi; i te pou kapura ano i te po, hei whakamarama i a ratou; kia haere ai ratou i te ao, i te po.
The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:
22 Kihai i tangohia e ia te pou kapua i te aroaro o te iwi i te awatea, me te pou kapura hoki i te po.
the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, did not depart from before the people.
