Exodus 13
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.”
“Set apart all the firstborn males in order that they may belong to me. The firstborn males of the Israeli people and of their animals will be mine.”
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.
Moses/I said to the people, “Do not forget this day! This is the day that you are leaving Egypt. This is the day you [are freed from] being their slaves. Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]. Do not eat any bread that has yeast in it [whenever you celebrate] this day.
4 Òní, ní oṣù Abibu (oṣù kẹta ọdún tiwa) lónìí ẹ̀yin ń jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti.
You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
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.
Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Hiv, and Jebus [now live], the land that he solemnly promised to give to you, a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY], you must celebrate this festival during this month [every year].
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 the bread that you eat must not have any yeast in it. On the seventh day there must be a festival to [honor] Yahweh.
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.
For seven days do not eat bread that has yeast in it. You should not have any yeast or bread made with yeast anywhere in your land.
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.’
On the day [the festival starts], you must tell your children, ‘[We are doing this to remember] what Yahweh did for our ancestors when they left 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.
This ritual will remind you how Yahweh brought your ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY]. [The ritual will be like something] you tie on your forehead or on your wrist. It will remind you to recite to others what Yahweh has instructed you.
10 Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin náà mọ́ ní àkókò tí a yàn bí ọdún tí ń gorí ọdún.
So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
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,
Yahweh will bring you into the land where the descendants of Canaan live, just as he promised you and your ancestors that he would do. When he gives that land to you,
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 must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
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 may keep the firstborn male donkeys, but you must buy them back by sacrificing a lamb as a substitute for the donkey. If you do not want to buy back the donkey, you must [kill it by] breaking its neck. You must also buy back every one of your own firstborn sons.
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 one of your children asks, ‘What does this mean?’, you must say to him, ‘Yahweh brought our ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY], and freed us from being slaves there.
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.’
The king of Egypt stubbornly refused to let them leave his country, so Yahweh killed all the firstborn males in Egypt, both the boys and the firstborn of their livestock. That is why we now sacrifice to Yahweh all the firstborn of our livestock, but we buy back our own firstborn 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.”
I repeat that this ritual will remind you about how Yahweh brought our [ancestors] out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]; it will be like something you tie on your wrist or on your forehead [to remind you of that].”
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 the king [of Egypt] let the [Israeli] people go, God did not lead them to go through the land of the Philistines. That was a shorter way, but God said, “It would be bad if my people change their minds when they realize that they will have to fight [the Philistines to take their land], and then [decide to] 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.
Instead, God led them to go around through the desert toward the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). When the Israeli people left Egypt, they were carrying weapons to fight [their enemies].
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/I [had them] take along the bones of Joseph with them/us, because Joseph long ago had made the Israeli people promise solemnly that they would do that. He had said to them, “God will enable your descendants to leave Egypt. When that happens, you must carry my bones with you.”
20 Wọ́n sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n láti Sukkoti lọ, wọ́n sì pàgọ́ sí Etamu ní etí aginjù.
The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
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.
[When they traveled] during the daytime, Yahweh went in front of them in a tall [white] cloud to show them the way. During the night, he went in front of them in a tall cloud that looked like a fire. By doing that, he enabled them to travel in the daytime and also at nighttime.
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.
The tall cloud did not leave them. It was always in front of them, as a bright white cloud in the daytime and like a fire at night.
