出埃及记 13
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “以色列中凡头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都是我的，要分别为圣归我。”
Sanctify unto me every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are all mine.
3 摩西对百姓说：“你们要记念从埃及为奴之家出来的这日，因为耶和华用大能的手将你们从这地方领出来。有酵的饼都不可吃。
And Moses said to the people: Remember this day in which you came forth out of Egypt, and out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought you forth out of this place: that you eat no leavened bread.
4 亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子。
This day you go forth in the month of new corn.
5 将来耶和华领你进迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、希未人、耶布斯人之地，就是他向你的祖宗起誓应许给你那流奶与蜜之地，那时你要在这月间守这礼。
And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers that he would give thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey, thou shalt celebrate this manner of sacred rites in this month.
6 你要吃无酵饼七日，到第七日要向耶和华守节。
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be the solemnity of the Lord.
7 这七日之久，要吃无酵饼；在你四境之内不可见有酵的饼，也不可见发酵的物。
Unleavened bread shall you eat seven days: there shall not be seen any thing leavened with thee, nor in all thy coasts.
8 当那日，你要告诉你的儿子说：‘这是因耶和华在我出埃及的时候为我所行的事。
And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: This is what the Lord did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 这要在你手上作记号，在你额上作纪念，使耶和华的律法常在你口中，因为耶和华曾用大能的手将你从埃及领出来。
And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a memorial before thy eyes: and that the law of the Lord be always in thy mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
10 所以你每年要按着日期守这例。’”
Thou shalt keep this observance at the set time from days to days.
11 “将来，耶和华照他向你和你祖宗所起的誓将你领进迦南人之地，把这地赐给你，
And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the Chanaanite, as he swore to thee and thy fathers, and shall give it thee:
12 那时你要将一切头生的，并牲畜中头生的，归给耶和华；公的都要属耶和华。
Thou shalt set apart all that openeth the womb for the Lord, and all that is first brought forth of thy cattle: whatsoever thou shalt have of the male sex, thou shalt consecrate to the Lord.
13 凡头生的驴，你要用羊羔代赎；若不代赎，就要打折它的颈项。凡你儿子中头生的都要赎出来。
The firstborn of an ass thou shalt change for a sheep: and if thou do not redeem it, thou shalt kill it. And every firstborn of men thou shalt redeem with a price.
14 日后，你的儿子问你说：‘这是什么意思？’你就说：‘耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及为奴之家领出来。
And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What is this? thou shalt answer him: With a strong hand did the Lord bring us forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
15 那时法老几乎不容我们去，耶和华就把埃及地所有头生的，无论是人是牲畜，都杀了。因此，我把一切头生的公牲畜献给耶和华为祭，但将头生的儿子都赎出来。
For when Pharao was hardened, and would not let us go, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb of the male sex, and all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
16 这要在你手上作记号，在你额上作经文，因为耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来。’”
And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a thing hung between thy eyes, for a remembrance: because the Lord hath brought us forth out of Egypt by a strong hand.
17 法老容百姓去的时候，非利士地的道路虽近， 神却不领他们从那里走；因为 神说：“恐怕百姓遇见打仗后悔，就回埃及去。”
And when Pharao had sent out the people, the Lord led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines which is near: thinking lest perhaps they would repent, if they should see wars arise against them, and would return into Egypt.
18 所以 神领百姓绕道而行，走红海旷野的路。以色列人出埃及地，都带着兵器上去。
But he led them about by the way of the desert, which is by the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
19 摩西把约瑟的骸骨一同带去；因为约瑟曾叫以色列人严严地起誓，对他们说：“神必眷顾你们，你们要把我的骸骨从这里一同带上去。”
And Moses took Joseph’s bones with him: because he had adjured the children of Israel, saying: God shall visit you, carry out my bones from hence with you.
20 他们从疏割起行，在旷野边的以倘安营。
And marching from Socoth they encamped in Etham in the utmost coasts of the wilderness.
21 日间，耶和华在云柱中领他们的路；夜间，在火柱中光照他们，使他们日夜都可以行走。
And the Lord went before them to shew the way by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire: that he might be the guide of their journey at both times.
22 日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
There never failed the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before the people.
