ʻEkisotosi 13

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Fakatapui maʻaku ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae mānava ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tangata mo e manu: ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia.”

Sanctify to me all the first-born, whatever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] mine.

3 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “Manatu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻa ia, kuo mou haʻu ai mei ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula: he kuo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova mei he potu ni ʻi he nima mālohi: ʻoua naʻa kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani.

And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place]: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

4 Kuo mou hao mai he ʻaho ni ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.

This day ye came out in the month Abib.

5 Pea ka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe, ʻae fonua mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, te ke fai ʻae ngāue ni ʻi he māhina ni.

And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey; that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

6 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu te ke kai mā taʻeaihalēvani, pea ʻe fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova.

Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.

7 ‌ʻE kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ʻe ʻikai ha mā kuo ʻai ki ai ha lēvani ʻe ʻilo ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻiate koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi potu kotoa pē.

Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days: and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 Pea te ke fakahā ki ho foha ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘[ʻOku fai ʻeni, ]koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ko ia ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ʻi heʻeku hao mei ʻIsipite.’

And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaʻilonga ʻi ho nima, pea ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ho ngutu ʻae fono ʻa Sihova: he kuo ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite ʻi he nima mālohi.

And it shall be for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy eyes; that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Ko ia ke ke tauhi ai ʻae fekau ni ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu tukufakaholo ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.

Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

11 “Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava kiate koe mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻo ne foaki ia kiate koe,

And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee,

12 Te ke vaheʻi maʻa Sihova ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi he manu ʻoku ke maʻu: ko e manu tangata ʻoku ʻa Sihova ia.

That thou shall set apart to the LORD all that openeth the matrix; and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast, the males [shall be] the LORD'S.

13 Pea ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae ʻasi te ke huhuʻi ʻaki ʻae lami: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, te ke fesiʻi hono kia: pea ko e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi hoʻo fānau tangata te ke huhuʻi.

And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

14 Pea ʻe pehē ʻoka fehuʻi ʻe ho foha kiate koe ʻamui, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā eni? Te ke tala ʻo pehē kiate ia, naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula ʻi he nima mālohi.

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say to him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

15 Pea ʻi he ʻikai fie tuku mai ʻakimautolu ʻe Felo, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻae tangata mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae manu: ko ia ʻoku ou feilaulau ʻaki ai kia Sihova ʻae fānau tangata kotoa pē, ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva: ka ko e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku fānau ʻoku ou huhuʻi.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the first-born of my children I redeem.

16 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki ho nima, mo e meʻa fakamanatu ki ho laʻē: he naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima mālohi.”

And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

17 Pea ko ʻeni, ʻi he tukuange ʻae kakai ʻe Felo ke nau ʻalu, naʻe ʻikai tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he hala ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia, neongo hono ofi ia; he naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, Telia naʻa fakatomala ʻae kakai ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he tau, pea te nau foki ki ʻIsipite.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near, for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.

18 Ka naʻe tataki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kakai ke afe ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa ʻoe tahi Kulokula: pea naʻe hiki teuteu tau pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up harnassed from the land of Egypt.

19 Pea naʻe hikitanga ʻe Mōsese ʻae hui ʻo Siosefa ke ʻave: he naʻa ne fakafuakavaʻi totonu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu; pea te mou hikitanga hoku hui ʻo ʻave mei heni mo kimoutolu.’

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had strictly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.

20 Pea naʻa nau fononga mei Sukote, ʻonau ʻapitanga, ʻi ʻEtami, ʻi he veʻe toafa.

And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

21 Pea naʻe hāʻele ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ʻi he pou ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, ke tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala: pea mo e pou afi ʻi he poʻuli, ke fakamaama kiate kinautolu; ke nau ʻalu ʻaho, mo ʻalu ʻi he poʻuli:

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light: to go by day and night.

22 Naʻe ʻikai te ne hiki ʻo ʻave ʻae pou ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pe ko e pou afi ʻi he poʻuli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai.

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
