1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
1Then the LORD said to Moses,
2“Fakatapui maʻaku ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae mānava ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tangata mo e manu: ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia.”
2“Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
3¶ Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “Manatu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻa ia, kuo mou haʻu ai mei ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula: he kuo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova mei he potu ni ʻi he nima mālohi: ʻoua naʻa kai ha mā kuo fakalēvani.
3So 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.
4Kuo mou hao mai he ʻaho ni ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.
4Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
5¶ Pea ka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe, ʻae fonua mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, te ke fai ʻae ngāue ni ʻi he māhina ni.
5And 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.
6ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fitu te ke kai mā taʻeaihalēvani, pea ʻe fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova.
6For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
7ʻE kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ʻe ʻikai ha mā kuo ʻai ki ai ha lēvani ʻe ʻilo ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lēvani ʻiate koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi potu kotoa pē.
7Unleavened 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¶ Pea te ke fakahā ki ho foha ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ ʻOku fai ʻeni, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ko ia ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ʻi heʻeku hao mei ʻIsipite.’
8And 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.’
9Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaʻilonga ʻi ho nima, pea ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ho ngutu ʻae fono ʻa Sihova: he kuo ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite ʻi he nima mālohi.
9It 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.
10Ko ia ke ke tauhi ai ʻae fekau ni ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu tukufakaholo ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
10Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
11¶ “Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava kiate koe mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻo ne foaki ia kiate koe,
11And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,
12Te ke vaheʻi maʻa Sihova ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi he manu ʻoku ke maʻu: ko e manu tangata ʻoku ʻa Sihova ia.
12you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
13Pea ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae ʻasi te ke huhuʻi ʻaki ʻae lami: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, te ke fesiʻi hono kia: pea ko e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi hoʻo fānau tangata te ke huhuʻi.
13You 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¶ Pea ʻe pehē ʻoka fehuʻi ʻe ho foha kiate koe ʻamui, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā eni? Te ke tala ʻo pehē kiate ia, naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula ʻi he nima mālohi.
14In 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.
15Pea ʻi he ʻikai fie tuku mai ʻakimautolu ʻe Felo, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻae tangata mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae manu: ko ia ʻoku ou feilaulau ʻaki ai kia Sihova ʻae fānau tangata kotoa pē, ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva: ka ko e ʻuluaki tupu kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku fānau ʻoku ou huhuʻi.
15And 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.’
16Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki ho nima, mo e meʻa fakamanatu ki ho laʻē: he naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ʻe Sihova ʻi he nima mālohi.”
16So 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¶ Pea ko ʻeni, ʻi he tukuange ʻae kakai ʻe Felo ke nau ʻalu, naʻe ʻikai tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he hala ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia, neongo hono ofi ia; he naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, Telia naʻa fakatomala ʻae kakai ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he tau, pea te nau foki ki ʻIsipite.
17When 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.”
18Ka naʻe tataki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kakai ke afe ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa ʻoe tahi Kulokula: pea naʻe hiki teuteu tau pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
18So 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.
19Pea naʻe hikitanga ʻe Mōsese ʻae hui ʻo Siosefa ke ʻave: he naʻa ne fakafuakavaʻi totonu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu; pea te mou hikitanga hoku hui ʻo ʻave mei heni mo kimoutolu.’
19Moses 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¶ Pea naʻa nau fononga mei Sukote, ʻonau ʻapitanga, ʻi ʻEtami, ʻi he veʻe toafa.
20They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
21Pea naʻe hāʻele ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ʻi he pou ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, ke tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala: pea mo e pou afi ʻi he poʻuli, ke fakamaama kiate kinautolu; ke nau ʻalu ʻaho, mo ʻalu ʻi he poʻuli:
21And 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.
22Naʻe ʻikai te ne hiki ʻo ʻave ʻae pou ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pe ko e pou afi ʻi he poʻuli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
22Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
