اَلْخُرُوجُ 13

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

٢ 2 «قَدِّسْ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ، كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. إِنَّهُ لِي».

Hallow to me every firstborn, that which any female first beareth among the sons of Israel, among men and among beasts, —mine! it is.

٣ 3 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱذْكُرُوا هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَا. وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ خَمِيرٌ.

And Moses said unto the people—[Ye are] to remember this day, on which ye came forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves, that with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring you forth from hence, —there shall not, therefore be eaten anything leavened.

٤ 4 اَلْيَوْمَ أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ.

To-day, are, ye, coming forth, —in the month Abib.

٥ 5 وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، أَنَّكَ تَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْخِدْمَةَ فِي هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ.

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he sware to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, then shalt thou serve with this service, in this month.

٦ 6 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ عِيدٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

Seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and on the seventh day, [shall be] a festival to Yahweh.

٧ 7 فَطِيرٌ يُؤْكَلُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَلَا يُرَى عِنْدَكَ مُخْتَمِرٌ، وَلَا يُرَى عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ.

Unleavened cakes, shall be eaten for the seven days, —neither shall there be seen with thee anything leavened, nor shall there be seen with thee leaven, within any of thy bounds,

٨ 8 «وَتُخْبِرُ ٱبْنَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ.

And thou shalt tell thy son, on that day, saying, —[This is] because, of that which Yahweh did for me, when he brought me forth out of Egypt.

٩ 9 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَتَذْكَارًا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِيعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي فَمِكَ. لِأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth, —for with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.

١٠ 10 فَتَحْفَظُ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرِيضَةَ فِي وَقْتِهَا مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ.

So shalt thou observe this statute in its appointed time, —from year to year.

١١ 11 «وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لَكَ وَلِآبَائِكَ، وَأَعْطَاكَ إِيَّاهَا،

And it shall be when Yahweh shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware to thee and to thy fathers, —and shalt give it thee,

١٢ 12 أَنَّكَ تُقَدِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَكُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ نِتَاجِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ لَكَ. ٱلذُّكُورُ لِلرَّبِّ.

that thou shalt set apart whatsoever is born first, to Yahweh; and, of all firstlings of beasts which thou shalt have, the males, shall pertain to Yahweh.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ بِكْرِ حِمَارٍ تَفْدِيهِ بِشَاةٍ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ فَتَكْسِرُ عُنُقَهُ. وَكُلُّ بِكْرِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكَ تَفْدِيهِ.

But every firstling of an ass, shalt thou redeem with a lamb or if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck, —but every firstborn of men among thy sons, shalt thou redeem.

١٤ 14 «وَيَكُونُ مَتَى سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هَذَا؟ تَقُولُ لَهُ: بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

And it shall be when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What is this? Then shalt thou say unto him: With strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt out of the house of slaves.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَقَسَّى فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ إِطْلَاقِنَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَى بِكْرِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلذُّكُورَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَأَفْدِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِي.

And it came to pass when Pharaoh had shown himself too hardened to let us go, then did Yahweh slay every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of men even unto the firstborn of beasts. For this cause, am, I, sacrificing to Yahweh whatsoever is born first, of the males, and every firstborn of my sons, must I redeem.

١٦ 16 فَيَكُونُ عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَعِصَابَةً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ. لِأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, —that, with strength of hand, did Yahweh bring us forth out of Egypt.

١٧ 17 وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَطْلَقَ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلشَّعْبَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَهْدِهِمْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مَعَ أَنَّهَا قَرِيبَةٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَالَ: «لِئَلَّا يَنْدَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِذَا رَأَوْا حَرْبًا وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ».

And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, —for God said—Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt.

١٨ 18 فَأَدَارَ ٱللهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. وَصَعِدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, —and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.

١٩ 19 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ مَعَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ ٱسْتَحْلَفَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَلْفٍ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ ٱللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا مَعَكُمْ».

And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, —for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.

٢٠ 20 وَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي إِيثَامَ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

And they brake up from Succoth, —and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهُمْ نَهَارًا فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَلَيْلًا فِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لِيُضِيءَ لَهُمْ. لِكَيْ يَمْشُوا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا.

Now, Yahweh, was going before them—by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, —that they might journey day and night:

٢٢ 22 لَمْ يَبْرَحْ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ نَهَارًا وَعَمُودُ ٱلنَّارِ لَيْلًا مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, —from before the people.
