Exodus 13
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
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.
“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 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.
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 This day go ye out, in the month of Abib.
亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子。
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.
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 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day shall be 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 thou shalt keep this ordinance in its season, from year to year.
所以你每年要按着日期守这例。’”
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,
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes; that by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the wilderness.
他们从疏割起行，在旷野边的以倘安营。
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:
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 He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
日间云柱，夜间火柱，总不离开百姓的面前。
