Exodus 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
2 Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
“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。”
3 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.
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。
4 For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].
亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子。
5 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.
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。
6 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.
你要吃无酵饼七日，到第七日要向耶和华守节。
7 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.
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。
8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.
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。
9 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.
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。
10 And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.
所以你每年要按着日期守这例。’”
11 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,
“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，
12 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 among your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.
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。
13 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.
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。
14 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.
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。
15 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.
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。
16 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.
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。’”
17 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.
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。”
18 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.
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。
19 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.
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。”
20 And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.
他们从疏割起行，在旷野边的以倘安营。
21 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.
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。
22 And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
