Baʼuu 13
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Dhiira hangafa hunda addaan naa baasi; Israaʼeloota keessaa namas taʼu horiin hangafni gadameessa banu kam iyyuu kan koo ti.”
“Every firstborn male is to be dedicated to me. The firstborn from every Israelite family belongs to me, and also every firstborn animal.”
3 Yommus Museen uummataan akkana jedhe; “Sababii Waaqayyo irree jabaadhaan achii isin baaseef guyyaa itti mana garbummaatii Gibxi keessaa baatan kana yaadadhaa. Waan raacitii qabu tokko illee hin nyaatinaa.
So Moses told the people, “Remember this is the day you left Egypt, the land of your slavery, for the Lord led you out of it by his amazing power. (Nothing with yeast in it shall be eaten.)
4 Isin jiʼa Abiibii keessa guyyaa harʼaa baatan.
Today you are on your way, this day in the month of Abib.
5 Yeroo Waaqayyo gara biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Heetotaa, Amoorotaa, biyya Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusotaatti jechuunis biyya aannanii fi damma baasu kan inni akka siif kennu abbootii keetiif kakate sanatti si galchutti ati jiʼa kana keessa ayyaana kana ayyaaneffatta;
The Lord is going to take you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites, the land he promised your forefathers he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey. So you are to observe this ceremony in this month.
6 ati bultii torba Maxinoo nyaatta; guyyaa torbaffaatti immoo ayyaana Waaqayyoo taʼa.
For seven days you are to only eat bread without yeast, and on the seventh day hold a religious festival to honor the Lord.
7 Guyyaa torban sana Maxinoo nyaadhu; wanni raacitii qabu tokko iyyuu si biratti hin argamin; daangaa kee hunda keessattis raacitiin hin argamin.
Only bread without yeast is to be eaten during those seven days. You are not to have any yeast, in fact there is to be no yeast in any place where you live.
8 Gaafas, ‘Ani waan Waaqayyo yeroo ani Gibxi keessaa baʼetti naa godhe sanaaf jedhee waan kana godha’ jedhiitii ilma keetti himi.
On that day tell your children, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I left Egypt.’
9 Sirni kunis akka seerri Waaqayyoo arraba kee irra jiraatuuf harka kee irratti akka mallattoo, adda kee irratti immoo akka yaadannoo siif taʼa. Waaqayyo harka isaa jabaa sanaan Gibxii si baaseetii.
When you celebrate this ceremony it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes that this teaching of the Lord should be spoken about regularly. For the Lord led you out of Egypt with his great power.
10 Atis sirna kana wagguma waggaan yeroo isaatti eeguu qabda.
That's why you are to observe this ceremony at the proper time every year.
11 “Yommuu Waaqayyo akkuma siʼii fi abbootii keetiif kakuudhaan waadaa gale sanatti biyya Kanaʼaanotaatti si galchee biyyattii siif kennutti,
Once the Lord takes you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised you and your forefathers,
12 ati hangafa gadameessa banu hunda Waaqayyoof kennita. Kormi horii keetii hangafni hundinuus kan Waaqayyoo ti.
you are to present to the Lord all firstborn males, human or animal. The firstborn males of your livestock all belong to the Lord.
13 Harree hangafa kam iyyuu ilmoo hoolaatiin furi; yoo furuu baatte garuu morma isaa cabsi. Ilmaan kee keessaas hangafa kam iyyuu furi.
You must buy back every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you don't do so, you have to break its neck. You must buy back every firstborn of your sons.
14 “Bara dhufuuf jiru keessa yoo ilmi kee, ‘Kun maal jechuu dha?’ jedhee si gaafate ati akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo harka jabaadhaan Gibxii, mana garbummaa keessaa nu baase.
When in the future your children come to you and ask, ‘Why is this ceremony important to you?’ you are to tell them, ‘The Lord led us out of Egypt, the land of our slavery, by his amazing power.
15 Yommuu Faraʼoon mataa jabaatee gad nu dhiisuu didetti, Waaqayyo hangafa Gibxi hunda namaa fi horii ajjeese. Sababiin ani korma hangafa gadameessa banu hunda Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuu fi sababiin ani ilmaan koo keessaa hangafa hunda furuuf kanuma.’
Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us leave, so the Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human and animal. That's the reason why I sacrifice to the Lord the firstborn male of every animal, and I buy back all the firstborn of my sons.’
16 Waaqayyo irree jabaadhaan Gibxii nu baasuu isaatiif wanni kun harka kee irratti mallattoo, adda kee irrattis mallattoo taʼa.”
In this way it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes, for the Lord led us out of Egypt by his amazing power.”
17 Yeroo Faraʼoon saba sana gad dhiisetti karichi gabaabaa taʼu iyyuu Waaqni karaa biyya Filisxeem irra isaan hin qajeelchine; sababiin isaas Waaqni, “Isaan yoo waraanni isaan mudate yaada geeddarratanii Gibxitti deebiʼuu dandaʼan” jedhee ti.
When Pharaoh let the Israelites leave, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, even though that was a shorter way. For God said, “If they are forced to fight, they might change their minds and go back to Egypt.”
18 Kanaafuu Waaqni karaa naannoo gammoojjiitiin gara Galaana Diimaatti saba sana qajeelche. Israaʼeloonnis waraanaaf qophaaʼanii biyya Gibxiitii baʼan.
So God led the people by the longer way through the desert towards the Red Sea. When the Israelites left the land of Egypt they were like an army ready for battle.
19 Sababii Yoosef, “Waaqni dhugumaan isin gargaara; isinis gaafas lafee koo asii fuudhaa baʼaa” jedhee Israaʼeloonni kakachiisee tureef Museen lafee Yoosef fuudhee baʼe.
Moses carried Joseph's bones with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn promise, saying, “God will definitely take care of you, and then you must take my bones with you when you leave here.”
20 Isaanis Sukootii kaʼanii Eetaam keessa qarqara gammoojjii qubatan.
They traveled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
21 Waaqayyo akka isaan halkanii guyyaa deemuu dandaʼaniif guyyaa utubaa duumessaatiin isaan dura deemee karaa isaan argisiise; halkan immoo isaaniif ibsuuf jedhee utubaa ibiddaatiin isaan dura deemaa ture.
The Lord went ahead of them as a pillar of cloud to show them the way during the day, and as a pillar of fire to provide them with light at night. Like this they could travel by day or night.
22 Utubaan duumessaa guyyaa guyyaa, utubaan ibiddaa immoo halkan halkan uummata duraa hin dhabamne ture.
The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night were always in front of the people.
