Exodus 13

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 caa lu boih kai khaeah ciimcai o sak ah; Israel kaminawk ih zok thung hoi tapen tangsuek loe, kami doeh, moi doeh, kai ih ni, tiah a naa.

Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] mine.

3 To naah Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah a ban thacakhaih hoiah to prae thung hoi ang zaeh o pongah, misong ah na oh o haih Izip prae thung hoi na tacawt o haih ni, hae ni hae pakuem o poe ah; taeh thuh ih takaw to caa o hmah.

And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place: ] there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

4 Vaihni Abib khrah thungah, na caeh o tih boeh.

This day came ye out in the month Abib.

5 Angraeng mah nangcae paek hanah nam panawk khaeah lokkam ih, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih Kanaan, Hit, Amor, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae thungah ang caeh o haih naah, hae khrah ah hae tiah toksak hanah pahnet o hmah.

And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

6 Ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa oh loe, ni sarihto naah Angraeng khaeah hae poih hae sah oh.

Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.

7 Ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa oh; nangcae salakah taeh thuh ih takaw tidoeh suem o hmah; na oh o haih a taengah doeh taeh hoi sak ih takaw to amtueng o sak hmah.

Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 To na niah na capa khaeah, Kaicae Izip prae thung hoi ka tacawt o naah, Angraeng mah tahmenhaih hoi kaicae nuiah hmuen to sak pongah, hae baktih hmuen hae ka sak o, tiah thui pae oh.

And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 Hae hmuen loe nangcae ban ah angmathaih ah om tih, na mik salak ih lupataeh ah panoeksakkung ah om ueloe, na pakha ah Angraeng ih kaalok to om tih; Angraeng mah a thacakhaih rang hoiah Izip prae thung hoiah ang zaeh o.

And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Saningto pacoeng saningto, hae tue phak khruek, hae sakzong ih atawk hae sah oh.

Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

11 Angraeng mah nangcae hoi nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, Kanaan prae ah ang caeh o haih moe, prae ang paek o naah,

And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

12 zok thung hoi tapen tangsuek caa to Angraeng han pahoe oh; na tawnh ih tapen tangsuek moi doeh, ataenawk loe Angraeng ih ni.

That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males [shall be] the LORD’s.

13 Tapen tangsuek laa hrang to tuucaa hoiah akrang oh; akrang koeh o ai nahaeloe, laa hrang ih tahnong to khaek oh; na caanawk thungah caa lu to akrang oh.

And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

14 Hmabang ah na caanawk mah, Hae hmuen loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah na dueng o nahaeloe, Misong ah ohhaih Izip prae thung hoiah Angraeng mah a ban thacakhaih hoiah zaehhaih niah oh;

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

15 Faro mah aicae tacawtsak han koeh ai naah, Angraeng mah Izip prae thung ih caa lu boih, tapen tangsuek moi to dueksak boih; to pongah zok thung hoi tapen tangsuek moi boih Angraeng khaeah ka paek moe, caalunawk to ka krang, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

16 Angraeng mah a ban thacakhaih rang hoiah Izip prae thung hoi zaeh pongah, hae loe na ban hoi na mik salak ih lupataeh ah, angmathaih ah om tih, tiah a naa.

And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

17 Faro mah kaminawk caehsak naah, Philistin prae caehhaih loklam loe anghnaih kue, toe to loklam hoiah Angraeng mah nihcae to caeh haih ai; Angraeng mah kaminawk misatukhaih tongh o naah, poekhaih amkhraih o ueloe, Izip prae ah amlaem o let moeng tih, tiah thuih.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not [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:

18 To pongah Sithaw mah kaminawk to tuipui kathim caehhaih praezaek loklam bang hoiah caeh haih lat; Israel kaminawk loe misatukhaih khukbuen angkhukhaih hoiah ni Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt o.

But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

19 Joseph mah Israel caanawk khaeah, Nangcae abomh hanah Sithaw angzo tih; to naah kai ih ahuh to hae ahmuen hoiah la o let ah, tiah lokkam baktih toengah, Mosi mah Joseph ih ahuh to laksak.

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

20 Nihcae leo Sukkoth hoi caeh o moe, praezaek taeng, Etham vangpui ah atai o.

And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

21 Angraeng mah nihcae to khodai ah tamai hoiah zaeh moe, nihcae aanghaih paek hanah, khoving ah hmaithaw hoiah zaeh.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

22 Khodai naah tamai tung, khoving naah hmaithaw hoiah kaminawk to hmabang ah a caeh haih.

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
