I used Google Translate, which says
Connection iPod first generation MacBook Pro retina 2013 - I am a happy owner of a first generation iPod 5GB and let me know how can link this iPod with my Mac book pro retina acquired in November 2013...
You need a FireWire port to connect a 1st gen iPod to a computer. Since your Mac does not have a FireWire port, you can get a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter, and that should work

However, this adapter has a FireWire 800 connector, so you'll also need a cable with FireWire 800 at one end and FireWire 400 at the other end (where you connect the iPod. Here's an example

Alternately, if you have the original FireWire (400) cable that came with iPod (and want to use it), you can get an adapter like this one

Connect this adapter to Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter, and then connect original FireWire cable.
DO NOT USE a cable that is described as a "USB to FireWire." Such products are fake and do not work, and may even cause damage to your iPod or Mac if used. You cannot connect a FireWire device to a USB port.
