< Exodus 13 >
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Ẹ ya àwọn àkọ́bí yín ọkùnrin sọ́tọ̀ fún mi. Èyí ti ó bá jẹ́ àkọ́bí láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́ tèmi, ìbá à ṣe ènìyàn tàbí ẹranko.”
“Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
3 Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ rántí ọjọ́ òní, ọjọ́ ti ẹ jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kúrò ní ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣe ẹrú, nítorí Olúwa mú un yín jáde kúrò ni inú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó ni ìwúkàrà nínú.
So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.
4 Òní, ní oṣù Abibu (oṣù kẹta ọdún tiwa) lónìí ẹ̀yin ń jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti.
Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
5 Ní ìgbà tí Olúwa mú un yín jáde wá sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Hiti, Amori, Hifi àti ilẹ̀ àwọn Jebusi; ilẹ̀ tí ó ti ṣe búra láti fi fún àwọn baba ńlá yín, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, ẹ ni láti pa ìsìn yìí mọ́ ní oṣù yìí.
And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.
6 Fún ọjọ́ méje ni ìwọ yóò fi jẹ àkàrà tí kò ní ìwúkàrà nínú àti pé ní ọjọ́ keje ni àjọ yóò wà fún Olúwa.
For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 Kí ẹ̀yin ó jẹ àkàrà tí kò ní ìwúkàrà fún ọjọ́ méje yìí; kó má ṣe sí ohunkóhun tí a fi ìwúkàrà ṣe ní sàkání yín.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.
8 Ní ọjọ́ náà, ìwọ yóò sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin, ‘Mo ń ṣe èyí nítorí ohun tí Olúwa ṣe fún mi nígbà tí èmi jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’
And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
9 Ṣíṣe èyí yóò wà fún àmì ní ọwọ́ rẹ, àti bí àmì ìrántí ni iwájú orí rẹ, tí yóò máa rán ọ létí òfin Olúwa ní ẹnu rẹ. Nítorí Olúwa mú ọ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá rẹ̀.
It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.
10 Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin náà mọ́ ní àkókò tí a yàn bí ọdún tí ń gorí ọdún.
Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
11 “Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa tí mú ọ wá sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kenaani tí ó sì fi fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ṣe ìlérí pẹ̀lú ìbúra fún ọ àti fún àwọn baba ńlá rẹ̀,
And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,
12 ìwọ yóò fi àkọ́bí inú rẹ fún Olúwa. Gbogbo àkọ́bí ti ó jẹ́ akọ ti ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ ní ó jẹ́ ti Olúwa.
you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
13 Ìwọ yóò fi ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ra àkọ́bí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ padà, ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá rà á padà, ǹjẹ́ kí ìwọ ṣẹ́ ẹ ní ọrùn, gbogbo àkọ́bí ọkùnrin ni kí ìwọ kí ó rà padà.
You must redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. And every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
14 “Yóò sí ṣe ní àwọn ọjọ́ tí ń bọ̀, ní ìgbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín yóò béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín, ‘Kí ni èyí túmọ̀ sí?’ Kí ìwọ kí ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ní Olúwa fi mú wa jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
15 Ní ìgbà ti Farao ṣe orí kunkun, ti ó kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí a lọ, Olúwa pa gbogbo àwọn àkọ́bí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, àti ènìyàn àti ẹranko. Ìdí èyí ni àwa fi ń fi gbogbo àkọ́bí tí í ṣe akọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa láti fi ṣe ìràpadà fún àwọn àkọ́bí wa ọkùnrin.’
And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb, but I redeem all the firstborn of my sons.’
16 Èyí yóò sì jẹ́ àmì ni ọwọ́ yín àti àmì ní iwájú orí yín pé Olúwa mú wa jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá.”
So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
17 Ní ìgbà tí Farao jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn ó lọ, Ọlọ́run kò mú wọn tọ ojú ọ̀nà ti ó la orílẹ̀-èdè àwọn Filistini kọjá, bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọ̀nà náà kúrú. Nítorí Ọlọ́run sọ pé, “Bí wọ́n bá dojúkọ ogun, wọ́n lè yí ọkàn wọn padà kí wọ́n padà sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”
18 Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run darí àwọn ènìyàn rọkọ gba ọ̀nà aginjù ní apá Òkun Pupa. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ìmúra fún ogun.
So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.
19 Mose kó egungun Josẹfu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nítorí Josẹfu tí mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli búra. Ó ti wí pé, “Dájúdájú Ọlọ́run yóò dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín ẹ sì gbọdọ̀ kó egungun mi lọ pẹ̀lú yín kúrò níhìn-ín yìí.”
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”
20 Wọ́n sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n láti Sukkoti lọ, wọ́n sì pàgọ́ sí Etamu ní etí aginjù.
They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
21 Olúwa sì ń lọ níwájú wọn, nínú ọ̀wọ̀n ìkùùkuu ní ọ̀sán láti máa ṣe amọ̀nà wọn àti ní òru nínú ọ̀wọ̀n iná láti máa tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún wọn, kí wọn lè máa lọ nínú ìrìnàjò wọn ní tọ̀sán tòru.
And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night.
22 Ìkùùkuu náà kò kúrò ní ààyè rẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ọ̀wọ̀n iná kò kúrò ní ààyè rẹ̀ ni òru, ní iwájú àwọn ènìyàn náà.
Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
