Sunglatnah 13

1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Israel ca bung boeih kah cacuek caming boeih tah kamah ham ciim laeh. Hlang dongkah khaw, rhamsa dongkah khaw cacuek he kamah ham ni,” a ti nah.

Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb amongst the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.

3 Te phoeiah Moses loh pilnam te, “Egypt lamkah na coe khohnin he poek ham om. Sal imkhui lamkah nangmih te BOEIPA kut thaa neh n'doek coeng dongah tolrhu ca uh boeh.

And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.

4 Tihnin Abib hla ah na khoe uh coeng.

For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].

5 BOEIPA loh nang te Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Khivee neh Jebusi khohmuen la n'thak. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen he nang taengah paek ham khaw na pa rhoek taengah a toemngam coeng. Te dongah tahae hla dongah he thothuengnah neh thothueng uh.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.

6 Hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca lamtah a hnin rhih dongah tah BOEIPA kah khotue la om saeh.

Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.

7 Vaidamding te hnin rhih ca saeh lamtah na khuiah tolrhu hmu boel saeh. Na khui neh na khorhi boeih ah tol hmu boel saeh.

Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.

8 Te hnin ah tah na ca taengah puen lamtah, “Egypt lamkah ka thoh vaengah BOEIPA loh kai ham he he a saii dongah ni, “ti nah.

And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.

9 Nang ham Na kut dongah miknoek la, na mik laklo ah poekkoepnah la om ni. A tlungluen kut neh BOEIPA loh nang Egypt lamloh n'khuen coeng dongah BOEIPA kah olkhueng he na ka dongah om saeh.

And it shall be to you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.

10 A khohnin lamloh a khohnin patoeng duela amah khoning vaengah he khosing he tuem uh.

And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.

11 Kanaan khohmuen hil nang aka khuen la BOEIPA ha om bitni. Namah taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah a caeng bangla te te nang taengah m'paek coeng.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to your fathers, and shall give it you,

12 Bung dongkah cacuek boeih te BOEIPA taengla paan puei. Rhamsa saelca cacuek boeih neh na taengkah tongpa rhoek te BOEIPA kah ni.

that you shall set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or amongst your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.

13 Tedae laak cacuek boeih te tu neh koep lat. Na lat pawt atah pahoi at laeh. Na ca rhoek khuiah tongpa caming boeih na lat ni.

Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons shall you redeem.

14 Na ca loh nang n'dawt tih, “Balae he?” aka ti khaw om ni. Te vaengah anih te, “BOEIPA loh Egypt sal im lamkah Mamih he a ban thaa neh n'khuen.

And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

15 Mamih hlah ham te Pharaoh mangkhak la a om vaengah Egypt khohmuen kah caming boeih tah hlang caming lamloh rhamsa caming hil khaw BOEIPA loh a ngawn. Te dongah ni bung dongkah cacuek a tal boeih tah BOEIPA ham boeih ka nawn tih ka ca caming boeih tah ka lat,’ ti nah.

And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.

16 BOEIPA loh mamih he Egypt lamloh a ban thaa neh n'khuen coeng dongah na kut dongah miknoek la, na mik laklo samtoelrhui la om ni.

And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and immovable before your eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.

17 Pharaoh loh pilnam te a hlah coeng dae Pathen loh, “Pilnam he caemtloeknah a hmuh vaengah hal vetih Egypt la mael ve,” a ti. Te dongah amih te Pathen loh Philisti kho kah longpuei longah pat mawt pawh.

And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.

18 Te dongah Pathen loh pilnam te carhaek tuili kah khosoek longpuei a lan puei tih Israel ca rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh caem la khong uh.

And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea: and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt.

19 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te a caeng, a caeng tih, “Na Pathen loh a hip khaw n'hip bitni. Te vaengah ka rhuh he, he lamloh namamih neh puei uh,” a ti nah vanbangla Moses loh Joseph rhuh te amah taengla a loh.

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones hence with you.

20 Sukkoth lamloh cet uh tangloeng tih khosoek hmatoeng kah Etham ah rhaeh uh.

And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.

21 BOEIPA te amih hmai ah cet. Khoyin khothaih a caeh ham vaengah tah amih longpuei mawt ham khothaih ah cingmai tung la, khoyin ah amih te tue ham hmai tung la a caeh pah.

And God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way, and in the night by a pillar of fire.

22 Khothaih kah cingmai tung neh khoyin kah hmai tung he pilnam mikhmuh lamloh nong sak pawh.

And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
