Consecration of the Firstborn
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Consecrate to me every firstborn male.(A) The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”
3 Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt,(B) out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with a mighty hand.(C) Eat nothing containing yeast.(D) 4 Today, in the month of Aviv,(E) you are leaving. 5 When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,(F) Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites(G)—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey(H)—you are to observe this ceremony(I) in this month: 6 For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival(J) to the Lord. 7 Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders. 8 On that day tell your son,(K) ‘I do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand(L) and a reminder on your forehead(M) that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.(N) 10 You must keep this ordinance(O) at the appointed time(P) year after year.
11 “After the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites(Q) and gives it to you, as he promised on oath(R) to you and your ancestors,(S) 12 you are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord.(T) 13 Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey,(U) but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(V) Redeem(W) every firstborn among your sons.(X)
14 “In days to come, when your son(Y) asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(Z) 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’(AA) 16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead(AB) that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
Crossing the Sea
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”(AC) 18 So God led(AD) the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.(AE)
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph(AF) with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”[b](AG)
20 After leaving Sukkoth(AH) they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.(AI) 21 By day the Lord went ahead(AJ) of them in a pillar of cloud(AK) to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left(AL) its place in front of the people.

13 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
2 -Se pou nou mete tout premye pitit gason ak tout premye mal bèt yo apa pou mwen. Tout premye pitit gason moun pèp Izrayèl yo, tout premye mal bèt yo fè, se pou mwen yo ye.
3 Moyiz di pèp la: -Pa janm bliye jou sa a, jou nou te soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la, paske se Seyè a menm ki te fè nou soti ak fòs ponyèt li. Jou sa a, se pa pou nou manje pen ki gen ledven ladan l'.
4 Se jòdi a, se jou sa a, nan mwa Abib la, n'ap soti kite peyi Lejip.
5 Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi ki pou moun Kanaran yo, pou moun Et yo, pou moun Amori yo, pou moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a Seyè a te pwomèt l'ap bay zansèt nou yo. Lè l'a fè nou antre nan peyi sa a, n'a toujou fè sèvis sa a nan menm mwa a.
6 Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a fè yon fèt pou Seyè a.
7 Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen ki fèt san ledven. Yo pa dwe jwenn ni pen ki fèt ak ledven, ni ledven menm lakay nou, nan tout peyi a.
8 Jou sa a, men sa n'a di pitit gason nou yo: Nou fè tou sa pou Seyè a, lè nou chonje tou sa li te fè pou nou lè nou soti kite Lejip la.
9 Sèvis sa a ap tankou yon mak nan men nou osinon yon bagay nou mete nan tèt nou pou nou pa bliye, pou nou ka toujou fè konnen lòd Seyè a. Paske, se avèk fòs ponyèt li li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
10 Toujou fè sèvis sa a chak lanne, nan dat mwen te fikse a.
11 ¶ Lè Seyè a va fè nou antre nan peyi moun Kanaran yo, dapre pwomès li te fè nou an, nou menm ansanm ak zansèt nou yo, lè Seyè a va ban nou peyi sa a,
12 n'a pran tout premye pitit gason nou yo, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. Konsa tou, tout premye pitit bèt nou yo, depi se mal yo ye, se pou mwen yo ye.
13 Nan plas tout premye pitit bourik nou yo, se pou nou ban mwen yon ti mouton. Si nou pa fè sa, se pou nou kase kou l'. Men, n'a ofri m' bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men mwen.
14 Denmen, lè pitit gason nou yo va mande nou poukisa nou fè sa, n'a di yo: Se paske se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
15 Seyè a te touye depi premye pitit gason moun peyi Lejip yo rive jouk premye mal bèt yo fè, paske farawon an t'ap fè tèt di, li pa t' vle kite nou ale. Se poutèt sa nou ofri bay Seyè a tout premye mal bèt nou yo fe, epi nou ofri lòt bagay pou achte lavi tout premye pitit gason nou yo nan men l'.
16 Sèvis sa a va tounen tankou yon mak sou men nou, tankou bando nou mare sou fwon nou, pou fè nou chonje se ak fòs ponyèt li Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip.
17 ¶ Lè farawon an kite pèp Izrayèl la pati, Bondye pa mennen yo nan wout ki pase bò lanmè a pou ale nan peyi moun Filisti yo, atout se wout sa a ki te pi kout, paske Bondye te di: Mwen pa vle pou pèp la gen remò pou yo kase tèt tounen nan peyi Lejip la ankò, lè y'a wè batay yo gen pou yo fè.
18 Se konsa, Bondye fè pèp la pran chemen dezè a nan direksyon lanmè Wouj la. Pèp Izrayèl la te soti kite peyi Lejip la tankou yon lame.
19 Moyiz pran zosman Jozèf yo avèk li, paske Jozèf te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sèman. Li te di yo: Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, se pou nou pati ak zosman mwen soti isit la.
20 Yo kite Soukòt, yo rive yon kote ki rele Etam, sou lizyè dezè a, yo pase kèk tan la.
21 Lajounen, Seyè a t'ap mache devan yo nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto pou moutre yo chemen pou yo pran. Lannwit, li t'ap mache devan yo nan yon dife ki te tankou yon flanm ki t'ap klere yo. Konsa, yo te ka vwayaje lajounen kou lannwit.
22 Lajounen, nwaj la te toujou ap mache devan pèp la. Lannwit, se te dife a.
