Exodus 13

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,

And Jehovah speaketh 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 to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among 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 saith unto the people, 'Remember this day [in] which ye have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this, and any thing fermented is not eaten;

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

To-day ye are going out, in the month of 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 hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou hast done 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 dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a feast to Jehovah;

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 things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.

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 hast declared to thy son in that day, saying, '[It is] because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out from 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 hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;

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

and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season from days to days.

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 hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it to 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 hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling — the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males [are] Jehovah'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 dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom [it], then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.

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 hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [is] this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;

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.

yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who [are] males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;

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 hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us 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 cometh to pass in Pharaoh's sending the people away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, 'Lest the people repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards 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.

and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up from 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 taketh the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this with you.'

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

And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,

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

and Jehovah is going before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night;

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

He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
