出埃及記 13
1 奉獻長子的法律1. 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
2 以色列子民中，無論是人或牲畜，凡是開胎首生的，都應祝聖於我，屬於我。」
Consecrate to me every firstborn [the] firstborn of every womb among [the] people of Israel among humankind and among the livestock [belongs] to me it.
3 梅瑟向百姓說：「你們應當記念從埃及，從為奴之家出來的這一天，因為上主在這一天用強有力的手臂，從那裡領出了你們，故此不可吃有酵的食物。
And he said Moses to the people remember the day this when you went out from Egypt from a house of slaves for with strength of hand he brought out Yahweh you from here and not it will be eaten leaven.
4 今天你們出來正在「阿彼布」月。
This day you [are] about to go out in [the] month of Abib.
5 幾時上主領你們進了客納罕人、赫特人、阿摩黎人、希威人和耶步斯人的地方，就是他同你的祖先起誓應許給你那流奶流蜜之地，你應在這一月舉行此禮：
And it will be that he will bring you Yahweh into [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] which he swore to ancestors your to give to you a land flowing of milk and honey and you will serve the service this in the month this.
6 七天之內應吃無酵餅，第七天是敬禮上主的節日。
Seven days you will eat unleavened bread and [will be] on the day seventh a festival of Yahweh.
7 七天之內吃無酵餅，在你面前不可有發酵之物，在你四境之內也不可見有酵母。
Unleavened bread it will be eaten [the] seven the days and not it will be seen by you leaven and not it will be seen by you leaven in all territory your.
8 在那一天要告訴你們的兒子說：因為上主在我出埃及時，為我所行的事。
And you will tell to child your on the day that saying for sake of what he did Yahweh for me when came out I from Egypt.
9 應把這事做你手上的記號，做你額上的記念，好使上主的法律常在你口中，因為上主用強有力的手臂，領你出了埃及。
And it will become for you a sign on hand your and a reminder between eyes your so that may be [the] law of Yahweh in mouth your for by a hand strong he brought out you Yahweh from Egypt.
10 所以你應年年按照定期遵守這規定。
And you will keep the statute this to appointed time its from days days towards.
11 當上主照他起誓向你和你祖先所許的話，領你到了客納罕人的地方，將那地給了你之後，
And it will be that he will bring you Yahweh into [the] land of the Canaanite[s] just as he swore to you and to ancestors your and he will give it to you.
12 你應將一切開胎首生者歸於上主；你牲畜中，凡開胎首生的牲畜，亦應歸於上主。
And you will dedicate every firstborn of a womb to Yahweh and every firstborn of - [the] offspring of cattle which it will be[long] to you the males [will belong] to Yahweh.
13 凡首生的驢，應用羊贖回；你若不贖回，應打斷牠的頸項。你的子孫中，凡是長子，你應贖回。
And every firstborn of a donkey you will redeem with a sheep and if not you will redeem [it] and you will break neck its and every firstborn of humankind among sons your you will redeem.
14 將來若你的兒子問你：這是什麼意思﹖你要回答他說：這是因為上主用強有力的手臂領我們出離了埃及，出離了為奴之家。
And it will be that he will ask you son your in future time saying what? [is] this and you will say to him with strength of hand he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt from a house of slaves.
15 原來法朗頑固，不釋放我們，上主就把埃及國一切首生者，不拘是人或牲畜的首生者都殺了，為此我把一切首開母胎的雄性都祭獻於上主；但首生的男孩，我卻要贖回。
And it was that he made stubborn Pharaoh to let go us and he killed Yahweh every firstborn in [the] land of Egypt from [the] firstborn of humankind and unto [the] firstborn of livestock there-fore I [am] sacrificing to Yahweh every firstborn of a womb the males and every firstborn of sons my I redeem.
16 應將這事作你手上的記號，作你額上的標誌，記念上主用強有力的手臂領我們出了埃及。」往紅海進行
And it will become a sign on hand your and marks between eyes your for with strength of hand he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt.
17 法朗放走百姓以後，天主沒有領他們走培肋舍特地的近路，因為上主想：「怕百姓遇見戰爭而後悔，再回到埃及。」
And it was when let go Pharaoh the people and not he led them God [the] way of [the] land of [the] Philistines for [was] near it for - he said God lest it should regret the people when see they battle and they will return Egypt towards.
18 因此天主領百姓繞道，走向靠紅海的曠野。以色列子民都武裝著離開了埃及。
And he caused to go around God - the people [the] way of the wilderness [the] sea of reed[s] and arrayed for battle they went up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt.
19 梅瑟也帶了若瑟的骨骸，因為若瑟曾叫以色列的兒子們起誓說：「天主必要眷顧你們，那時你們應把我的骨骸從此地帶回去。」
And he took Moses [the] bones of Joseph with him for certainly he had made swear [the] people of Israel saying certainly he will visit God you and you will take up bones my from here with you.
20 他從穌苛特起程前行，就在位於曠野邊緣的厄堂安了營。
And they set out from Succoth and they encamped at Etham on [the] edge of the wilderness.
21 上主在他們前面行，白天在雲柱裏給他們領路，夜間在火柱裏光照他們，為叫他們白天黑夜都能走路：
And Yahweh [was] going before them by day in a pillar of cloud to guide them the journey and night in a pillar of fire to give light to them to go by day and night.
22 白天的雲柱，黑夜的火柱，總不離開百姓面前。
Not it departed [the] pillar of cloud by day and [the] pillar of fire night before the people.
