Ekoruhe 13
1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
And 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 every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: 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.
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 Ko te ra tenei i haere atu ai koutou, ko Apipi te marama.
For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].
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.
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 E whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore, a hei te ra whitu te hakari a Ihowa.
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is 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.
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in 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.
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 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.
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 Na kia mau ki tenei tikanga i tona wa ano, i tenei tau, i tenei tau.
And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, 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,
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 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 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 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 [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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 A ka turia mai e ratou i Hukota, a noho rawa ki Etama, ki te pito o te koraha.
And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by 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.
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 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.
And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
