Okutukuza Ebibereberye
13 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, 2 (A)“Ebibereberye byonna binjawulireko. Abaana abaggulanda mu Isirayiri yonna banaabanga bange; n’ebisolo ebiggulanda nabyo binaabanga byange.”
Embaga ey’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse
3 (B)Awo Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Mujjukiranga olunaku luno, olunaku lwe mwaviirako mu Misiri, ensi gye mwafugibwanga ng’abaddu, kubanga Mukama yabaggyayo n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi. Temuliirangako mugaati gulimu kizimbulukusa. 4 (C)Ku lunaku lwa leero olw’omwezi guno Abibu, lwe musitudde okuva mu Misiri. 5 (D)Mukama bw’alimala okubatuusa mu nsi y’Abakanani, n’Abakiiti, n’Abamoli; n’ey’Abakiivi, n’Abayebusi, ensi gye yalayirira bajjajjammwe okugibawa, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, mukwatanga omukolo guno mu mwezi guno. 6 (E)Mumalanga ennaku musanvu nga mulya emigaati egitaliimu kizimbulukusa, ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu kwe munaakoleranga embaga ya Mukama. 7 Munaalyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku musanvu; tewabangawo alabika n’omugaati omuzimbulukuse, wadde ekizimbulukusa okusangibwa nammwe mu nsi yammwe. 8 (F)Ku lunaku olwo mulitegeeza abaana bammwe nti, ‘Tukola tuti nga tujjukira ebyo Mukama bye yatukolera nga tuva mu Misiri.’ 9 (G)Omukolo guno gunaababeereranga ng’akabonero ku mikono gyammwe, oba mu byenyi wakati w’amaaso gammwe, okubajjukizanga etteeka lya Mukama eritaavenga ku mimwa gyammwe. Kubanga Mukama yabaggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi. 10 (H)Noolwekyo onookolanga ekiragiro kino bye kigamba, mu kiseera kyakyo buli mwaka, buli mwaka.
Ebibereberye
11 “Mukama ng’amaze okubatuusa mu nsi y’Abakanani, nga bwe yabalayirira mmwe ne bajjajja bammwe, era agenda kugibawa, 12 (I)Mukama mumwawulirangako ebiggulanda byonna. Zisseddume zonna embereberye ez’amagana gammwe zinaabanga za Mukama. 13 (J)Buli kalogoyi[a] akabereberye mukawaanyisangamu omwana gw’endiga ne mukanunulayo, naye bwe mutaakanunulenga mukamenyanga ensingo ne kafa. Ne buli mutabani wammwe omubereberye mumununulanga.
14 (K)“Awo olulituuka batabani bammwe, bwe bababuuzanga nti, ‘Kino kye mukola kitegeeza ki?’ Mubaddangamu nti, ‘Kubanga Mukama yatuggya mu Misiri, ensi ey’obuddu, n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi. 15 (L)Naye Falaawo bwe yali ng’akakanyadde ng’atugaanye okuvaayo, Mukama n’atta ebibereberye byonna mu nsi y’e Misiri; ababereberye b’abantu n’ebibereberye by’ebisolo. Noolwekyo kyetuva tuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama ey’ebiggulanda byonna ebisajja; naye batabani baffe abaggulanda tubanunulayo.’ 16 (M)Omukolo ogwo gunaababeereranga ng’akabonero akookebbwa ku mikono gyammwe, oba mu byenyi wakati w’amaaso gammwe; kubanga Mukama yabaggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.”
Empagi ey’Ekire n’Empagi ey’Omuliro
17 (N)Awo abantu, bwe baasitula nga Falaawo amaze okubaleka, Katonda teyabayisa mu kkubo eriyita mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti, newaakubadde lye lyali ery’okumpi.[b] Kubanga Katonda yagamba nti, “Singa bagwa mu lutalo, bayinza okwejjusa ne bawetamu ne baddayo e Misiri.” 18 (O)Bw’atyo Katonda n’abeekooloobya ng’abayisa mu kkubo ery’omu ddungu eriggukira ku Nnyanja Emyufu. Abaana ba Isirayiri baava mu nsi y’e Misiri nga bakutte ebyokulwanyisa byabwe nga beetegekedde okulwana.
19 (P)Awo Musa n’avaayo n’amagumba ga Yusufu, kubanga Yusufu yali alayizza abaana ba Isirayiri. Yabagamba nti, “Ddala, ddala Mukama agenda kubadduukirira. Kale, amagumba gange mugendanga nago nga muva wano.”
20 (Q)Bwe baava e Sukkosi ne bakuba eweema zaabwe mu Yesamu eddungu we litandikira. 21 (R)Emisana Mukama yabakulemberanga ng’ali mu mpagi ey’ekire okubalaga ekkubo, n’ekiro ng’ali mu mpagi ey’omuliro okubamulisiza, balyoke batambulenga emisana n’ekiro. 22 Empagi ey’ekire ey’emisana, n’empagi ey’omuliro ey’ekiro tezaggibwawo mu maaso g’abantu obudde bwonna.

Exodus 13
English Standard Version
Consecration of the Firstborn
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 (A)“Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.”
The Feast of Unleavened Bread
3 Then Moses said to the people, (B)“Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, (C)for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. (D)No leavened bread shall be eaten. 4 Today, in the month of (E)Abib, you are going out. 5 And when the Lord brings you into (F)the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which (G)he swore to your fathers to give you, a land (H)flowing with milk and honey, (I)you shall keep this service in this month. 6 (J)Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory. 8 (K)You shall tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 And it shall (L)be to you as a sign on your hand and as (M)a memorial (N)between your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. 10 (O)You shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
11 “When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, (P)as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you, 12 (Q)you shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the Lord's. 13 (R)Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every (S)firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 (T)And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, (U)‘By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of (V)slavery. 15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the (W)Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but (X)all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ 16 (Y)It shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes, for (Z)by a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”
Pillars of Cloud and Fire
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did (AA)not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, “Lest the people (AB)change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.” 18 But God (AC)led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph[a] had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, (AD)“God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.” 20 And (AE)they moved on from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. 21 And (AF)the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.

Dedication of the First-Born
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 (A) “Dedicate to me the first-born son of every family and the first-born males of your flocks and herds. These belong to me.”
The Festival of Thin Bread
3-4 Moses said to the people:
Remember this day in the month of Abib.[a] It is the day when the Lord's mighty power rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Do not eat anything made with yeast. 5 The Lord promised your ancestors that he would bring you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites. It is a land rich with milk and honey.
Each year during the month of Abib, celebrate these events in the following way: 6 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, and on the seventh day you are to celebrate a festival in honor of the Lord. 7 During those seven days, you must not eat anything made with yeast or even have yeast anywhere near your homes. 8 Then on the seventh day you must explain to your children that you do this because the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
9 This celebration will be like wearing a sign on your hand or on your forehead, because then you will pass on to others the teaching of the Lord, whose mighty power brought you out of Egypt. 10 Celebrate this festival each year at the same time.
11 The Lord will give you the land of the Canaanites, just as he promised you and your ancestors. 12 (B) From then on, you must give him every first-born son from your families and every first-born male from your animals, because these belong to him. 13 You can spare the life of a first-born donkey[b] by sacrificing a lamb; if you don't, you must break the donkey's neck. You must spare every first-born son.
14 In the future your children will ask what this ceremony means. Explain it to them by saying, “The Lord used his mighty power to rescue us from slavery in Egypt. 15 The king[c] stubbornly refused to set us free, so the Lord killed the first-born male of every animal and the first-born son of every Egyptian family. This is why we sacrifice to the Lord every first-born male of every animal and save every first-born son.”
16 This ceremony will serve the same purpose as a sign on your hand or on your forehead to tell how the Lord's mighty power rescued us from Egypt.
The Lord Leads His People
17 After the king[d] had finally let the people go, the Lord did not lead them through Philistine territory,[e] though that was the shortest way. God had said, “If they are attacked, they may decide to return to Egypt.” 18 So he led them around through the desert and toward the Red Sea.[f]
The Israelites left Egypt, prepared for battle.
19 (C) Moses had them take the bones of Joseph, whose dying words had been, “God will come to your rescue, and when he does, be sure to take my bones with you.”
20 The people of Israel left Succoth and camped at Etham at the border of Egypt near the desert. 21-22 (D) During the day the Lord went ahead of his people in a thick cloud, and during the night he went ahead of them in a flaming fire. That way the Lord could lead them at all times, whether day or night.
