< Exodus 13 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 “Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
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.
3 So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.
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.
4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
Tihnin Abib hla ah na khoe uh coeng.
5 And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.
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.
6 For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
Hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding ca lamtah a hnin rhih dongah tah BOEIPA kah khotue la om saeh.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.
Vaidamding te hnin rhih ca saeh lamtah na khuiah tolrhu hmu boel saeh. Na khui neh na khorhi boeih ah tol hmu boel saeh.
8 And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
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.
9 It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.
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.
10 Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
A khohnin lamloh a khohnin patoeng duela amah khoning vaengah he khosing he tuem uh.
11 And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,
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.
12 you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
Bung dongkah cacuek boeih te BOEIPA taengla paan puei. Rhamsa saelca cacuek boeih neh na taengkah tongpa rhoek te BOEIPA kah ni.
13 You must redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. And every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
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.
14 In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
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.
15 And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb, but I redeem all the firstborn of my sons.’
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.
16 So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
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.
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”
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.
18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.
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.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”
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.
20 They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Sukkoth lamloh cet uh tangloeng tih khosoek hmatoeng kah Etham ah rhaeh uh.
21 And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night.
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.
22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
Khothaih kah cingmai tung neh khoyin kah hmai tung he pilnam mikhmuh lamloh nong sak pawh.
