出埃及记 13
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] 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 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 亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子。
To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib.
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 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 你要吃无酵饼七日，到第七日要向耶和华守节。
'Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a feast to Jehovah;
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 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 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 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 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 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 所以你每年要按着日期守这例。’”
and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season 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 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 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。
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 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。
'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 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 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 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。
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 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 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 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 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 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。
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 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 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 他们从疏割起行，在旷野边的以倘安营。
And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity 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 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 日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
