Exodus 13

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

٢ «قَدِّسْ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ، كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. إِنَّهُ لِي».

3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, on which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from here: and no leavened bread shall be eaten.

٣ وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «ٱذْكُرُوا هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَا. وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ خَمِيرٌ.

4 This day go ye out, in the month of Abib.

٤ اَلْيَوْمَ أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ.

5 And it shall be, when the Lord doth bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt perform this service in this month.

٥ وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، أَنَّكَ تَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْخِدْمَةَ فِي هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ.

6 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.

٦ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ عِيدٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten these seven days; and there shall not be seen with thee any leavened bread, neither shall there be seen with thee any leaven in all thy boundaries.

٧ فَطِيرٌ يُؤْكَلُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَلَا يُرَى عِنْدَكَ مُخْتَمِرٌ، وَلَا يُرَى عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ.

8 And thou shalt tell thy son on that day, saying, This is done for the sake of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

٨ «وَتُخْبِرُ ٱبْنَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ.

9 And it shall be unto thee for a sign upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy eyes, in order that the law of the Lord may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee forth out of Egypt.

٩ وَيَكُونُ لَكَ عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَتَذْكَارًا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِيعَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي فَمِكَ. لِأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

10 And thou shalt keep this ordinance in its season, from year to year.

١٠ فَتَحْفَظُ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرِيضَةَ فِي وَقْتِهَا مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ.

11 And it shall be, when the Lord doth bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy fathers, and giveth it to thee,

١١ «وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لَكَ وَلِآبَائِكَ، وَأَعْطَاكَ إِيَّاهَا،

12 That thou shalt set apart all that openeth the womb unto the Lord; and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou shalt have, the males, shall belong to the Lord.

١٢ أَنَّكَ تُقَدِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَكُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ نِتَاجِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ لَكَ. ٱلذُّكُورُ لِلرَّبِّ.

13 And every firstling of an ass shalt thou redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck: and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

١٣ وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ بِكْرِ حِمَارٍ تَفْدِيهِ بِشَاةٍ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ فَتَكْسِرُ عُنُقَهُ. وَكُلُّ بِكْرِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكَ تَفْدِيهِ.

14 And it shall be, when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;

١٤ «وَيَكُونُ مَتَى سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هَذَا؟ تَقُولُ لَهُ: بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh obstinately refused to let us go, that the Lord slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast; therefore do I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my children must I redeem.

١٥ وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَقَسَّى فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ إِطْلَاقِنَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَى بِكْرِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلذُّكُورَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَأَفْدِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِي.

16 And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes; that by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.

١٦ فَيَكُونُ عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَعِصَابَةً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ. لِأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh let the people go, that God did not lead them the way through the land of the Philistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.

١٧ وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَطْلَقَ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلشَّعْبَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَهْدِهِمْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مَعَ أَنَّهَا قَرِيبَةٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَالَ: «لِئَلَّا يَنْدَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِذَا رَأَوْا حَرْبًا وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ».

18 But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.

١٨ فَأَدَارَ ٱللهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. وَصَعِدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for he had caused the children of Israel to swear, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall then carry up my bones away hence with you.

١٩ وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ مَعَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ ٱسْتَحْلَفَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَلْفٍ قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ ٱللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا مَعَكُمْ».

20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the wilderness.

٢٠ وَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي إِيثَامَ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them; that they might go by day and by night:

٢١ وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهُمْ نَهَارًا فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَلَيْلًا فِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لِيُضِيءَ لَهُمْ. لِكَيْ يَمْشُوا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا.

22 He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

٢٢ لَمْ يَبْرَحْ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ نَهَارًا وَعَمُودُ ٱلنَّارِ لَيْلًا مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.
