< Exodus 13 >

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “Srela wounse mukul nukewa nu sik, tuh wounse mukul nutin mwet Israel ac wounse mukul nutin kosro ac fah ma nutik.”
'Sanctify unto Me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is Mine.'
3 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Esam len se inge — len se ma kowos tuh illa liki facl Egypt, acn se ma kowos tuh mwet kohs we. Pa inge len se ma LEUM GOD El uskowosme ke ku lulap lal. Kowos fah tia mongo bread pulol ke len se inge.
And Moses said unto 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 Kowos ac som liki Egypt ke len se inge ke malem se meet, malem in Abib.
This day ye go forth in the month Abib.
5 LEUM GOD El oru sie wulela ku nu sin mwet matu lowos meet ah mu El ac sot acn sin mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus tuh in acn suwos. Ke El ac uskowosla nu in acn sac, sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, kowos fah akfulatye len in kufwa se inge ke malem se meet in yac nukewa.
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Ke len itkosr kowos fah mongo bread wangin mwe pulol kac, ac ke len se akitkosr kowos fah orek kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 Ke len itkosr kowos fah tia mongo bread ma orekla ke mwe pulol. Ac fah wangin mwe pulol ku bread pulol in kutena acn in facl suwos.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders.
8 Ke mutaweyen len in kufwa uh, kowos in aketeya nu sin wen nutuwos lah kowos oru ma inge nukewa ke sripen ma LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos ke kowos illa liki facl Egypt.
And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 Len in kufwa se inge ac fah sie mwe esmakin, oana mwe esmakin ma kowos kapriya ke pouwos ku ke motonsruwos. Ac fah akesmakye kowos in kalwenina in fahkak ac luti Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD, mweyen LEUM GOD El uskowosme liki facl Egypt ke ku lulap lal.
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Kowos in oru na kufwa se inge ke pacl srisrsrisri nu kac ke kais sie yac.
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
11 “LEUM GOD El ac uskowosme nu in facl sin mwet Canaan, oana El tuh orek wulela ku kac nu suwos ac mwet matu lowos meet ah. Ke El ac sot facl sacn nu suwos,
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as He swore unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 kowos fah srela wounse mukul nukewa nutuwos nu sin LEUM GOD, oayapa wounse mukul nutin kosro nutuwos ac fah ma lun LEUM GOD.
that thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the womb; every firstling that is a male, which thou hast coming of a beast, shall be the LORD'S.
13 Kais soko wounse mukul nutin donkey nutuwos an kowos ac moli ke soko sheep fusr. Kowos fin tia lungse moli, na koteya kwawal. Kowos enenu na in molela wounse mukul nukewa nutuwos uh.
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck; and all the first-born of man among thy sons shalt thou redeem.
14 In pacl fahsru uh, ke wen nutuwos ac siyuk suwos, ‘Mea kalmen ma inge?’ kowos fah topkolos mu, ‘LEUM GOD El tuh uskutme ke ku lulap lal liki facl Egypt, acn se ma kut tuh mwet kohs we.
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying: What is this? that thou shalt say unto him: By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Ke pacl se tokosra lun acn Egypt el akupaye nankal ac tia filikutla in som, LEUM GOD El uniya wounse mukul nukewa nutin mwet Egypt, ac wounse mukul nukewa nutin kosro. Pa pwanang kut kisakin wounse mukul nutin kosro uh nu sin LEUM GOD, a kut molela wounse mukul natusr uh.
and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast; therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem.
16 Ouiya se inge ac fah sie mwe esmakin, oana sie ma kapiryang nu ke pouwos ku nu ke motonsruwos. Ac fah mwe esmakin ke LEUM GOD El tuh uskutme liki Egypt ke ku lulap lal!’”
And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.'
17 Pacl se ke tokosra lun Egypt el fuhlela mwet uh in som, God El tia usalos ke inkanek soko ma ut weacn uh nu Philistia, finne pa fototo uh. God El fahk mu, “Nga tia lungse mwet uh in ekulla nunak lalos ac folok nu Egypt ke elos liye lah elos ac enenu in mweuni mwet lokoalok lalos.”
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by 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 Ouinge El kololos ke inkanek na loeloes in acn mwesis ma som nu Meoa Srusra. Ke mwet Israel elos illa liki Egypt elos us kufwen mweun natulos.
But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 Moses el us srel Joseph welul, oana ke Joseph el tuh arulana wili nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Pacl se God El ac uskowosla liki facl se inge, kowos fah us srik in wi kowos som.”
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.'
20 Mwet Israel som liki acn Sukkoth ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Etham, sisken yen mwesis.
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 Ke len, LEUM GOD El fahsr meet lukelos ke sie sru in pukunyeng in akkalemye nu selos acn elos ac ut we, ac ke fong uh El fahsr meet lukelos ke sie sru in e, in sang kalem nu selos. Ouinge elos ku in fahsr ke fong ac ke len.
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; that they might go by day and by night:
22 Sru in pukunyeng uh fahsr meet lukelos pacl nukewa ke len, ac sru in e uh ke fong.
the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, departed not from before the people.
