1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

2 S anctify unto me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and of beast; for it is mine.

Whakatapua maku nga mea matamua katoa; nga mea katoa a nga tama a Iharaira e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, a te tangata, a te kararehe, maku.

3 A nd Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD has brought you out of here with a strong hand; therefore, ye shall not eat with leaven.

A i mea a Mohi ki te iwi, Kia mahara ki tenei ra i haere atu ai koutou i Ihipa, i te whare pononga; he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina ai koutou e Ihowa i konei: kaua hoki te taro rewena e kainga.

4 T his day ye came out in the month Abib.

Ko te ra tenei i haere atu ai koutou, ko Apipi te marama.

5 A nd when the LORD shall have brought 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 do this service in this month.

Na ka kawea koe a mua e Ihowa ki te whenua o nga Kanaani, o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi, i oati ai ia ki ou matua ka hoatu ki a koe, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, ko reira koe mahi ai i tenei mea, i tenei mara ma ano.

6 T hou shalt eat without leaven for seven days, and the seventh day shall be a feast unto the LORD.

E whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore, a hei te ra whitu te hakari a Ihowa.

7 B read without leaven shall be eaten the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen with thee, neither shall there be any leaven in all thy borders.

E whitu nga ra e kainga ai te taro rewenakore: aua hoki te taro rewena e kitea ki a koe; aua ano e kitea ki a koe he rewena i ou rohe katoa.

8 A nd thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when he brought me out of Egypt.

A mau e korero ki tau tama i taua ra, e mea, Mo ta Ihowa i mea ai ki ahau tenei, i toku haerenga mai i Ihipa.

9 A nd it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand and for a memorial before thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought thee out of Egypt.

Hei tohu ano tena ki a koe i tou ringa, hei whakamahara hoki ki waenganui i ou kanohi; kia mau ai te ture a Ihowa i roto i tou waha: he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina ai koe e Ihowa i Ihipa.

10 T hou shalt, therefore, keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

Na kia mau ki tenei tikanga i tona wa ano, i tenei tau, i tenei tau.

11 ¶ And it shall be when the LORD shall have brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall have given it to thee,

Na ka kawea koe e Ihowa ki te whenua o nga Kanaani, ki tana i oati ai ki a koutou ko ou matua, a ka homai a reira e ia ki a koe,

12 t hat thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that opens the womb and in the same manner every firstborn that opens the wombs of thy animals; the males shall be the LORD’s.

Ko reira wehea ai e koe ma Ihowa nga mea katoa e puta tuatahi mai ana i te kopu, me nga matamua katoa o au kararehe; ko nga tane ma Ihowa.

13 A nd every firstborn of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou wilt not ransom it, then thou shalt cut off its head; and in the same manner thou shalt ransom all the human firstborn among thy sons.

Otiia, me utu e koe ki te reme nga matamua katoa a te kaihe; a ki te kahore e utua e koe, whatiia tona kaki: ko nga matamua katoa hoki a te tangata, i roto i au tamariki, me utu e koe.

14 A nd it shall be when thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Thou shalt say unto him, With a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery;

A, tenei ake, ki te ui tau tama ki a koe a mua, ki te mea, He aha tenei? Na ka mea ki a ia, He kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa, i te whare pononga:

15 a nd it came to pass when Pharaoh was hardening himself to not let us go that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from the human firstborn to the firstborn of the beast; therefore, I sacrifice to the LORD every male that opens the womb, and I ransom every firstborn of my sons.

A, i te mea ka pakeke a Parao ki te tuku i a matou, na patua iho e Ihowa nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa, te matamua a te tangata, te matamua ano hoki a te kararehe: na reira i patua ai e ahau ma Ihowa nga mea katoa e puta tuatahi mai ana i te kopu, nga toa; ko nga matamua katoa ia o aku tama e utua ana e ahau.

16 A nd it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for a memorial before thine eyes: That the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

A, hei tohu tena ki tou ringa hei pare ki waenganui i ou kanohi: he kaha hoki te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa.

17 ¶ And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go that God did not lead them through 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;

A, i te tukunga o te iwi e Parao, kihai a Ihowa i arahi i a ratou na te huarahi i te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ahakoa tata tera: i mea hoki te Atua, Kei awangawanga te iwi, ua kite ratou i te pakanga, a ka hoki ki Ihipa:

18 b ut God led the people round about through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea. And the sons of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.

Engari i arahina awhiotia te iwi e te Atua na te huarahi i te koraha o te Moana Whero: a haere topuni ana nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa.

19 A nd Moses also took the bones of Joseph with him, who had made the sons of Israel swear, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away from here with you.

I maua atu ano e Mohi nga wheua o Hohepa; nana hoki i whakaoati marie nga tama a Iharaira, i mea, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua; a ma koutou e mau atu oku wheua i konei.

20 A nd they took their journey from Succoth and encamped in Etham in the edge of the wilderness.

A ka turia mai e ratou i Hukota, a noho rawa ki Etama, ki te pito o te koraha.

21 A nd the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them in the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might walk by day and by night.

A haere ana a Ihowa i mua i a ratou, i te pou kapua i te awatea, hei arahi i a ratou i te huarahi; i te pou kapura ano i te po, hei whakamarama i a ratou; kia haere ai ratou i te ao, i te po.

22 H e never took away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

Kihai i tangohia e ia te pou kapua i te aroaro o te iwi i te awatea, me te pou kapura hoki i te po.
