Exodus 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 “Sanctify to Me every firstborn, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.”
Sanctifica mihi omne primogenitum quod aperit vulvam in filiis Israel, tam de hominibus quam de iumentis: mea sunt enim omnia.
3 And Moses says to the people, “Remember this day [in] which you have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought you out from this, and anything fermented is not eaten;
Et ait Moyses ad populum: Mementote diei huius in qua egressi estis de Aegypto et de domo servitutis, quoniam in manu forti eduxit vos Dominus de loco isto: ut non comedatis fermentatum panem.
4 you are going out today, in the month of Abib.
Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.
5 And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you have done this service in this month.
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei et Hethaei et Amorrhaei et Hevaei et Iebusaei, quam iuravit patribus tuis ut daret tibi, terram fluentem lacte et melle, celebrabis hunc morem sacrorum mense isto.
6 Seven days you eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a celebration to YHWH;
Septem diebus vesceris azymis: et in die septimo erit sollemnitas Domini.
7 unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and anything fermented is not seen with you; indeed, leaven is not seen with you in all your border.
Azyma comedes septem diebus: non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.
8 And you have declared to your son in that day, saying, [It is] because of what YHWH did to me, in my going out from Egypt,
Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens: Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Aegypto.
9 and it has been to you for a sign on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, so that the Law of YHWH is in your mouth, for by a strong hand YHWH has brought you out from Egypt;
Et erit quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi monumentum ante oculos tuos: et ut lex Domini semper sit in ore tuo, in manu enim forti eduxit te Dominus de Aegypto.
10 and you have kept this statute at its appointed time from days to days.
Custodies huiuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.
11 And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite as He has sworn to you and to your fathers, and has given it to you,
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei, sicut iuravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam:
12 that you have caused everyone opening a womb to pass over to YHWH, and every firstling—the increase of beasts which you have: the males [are] YHWH’s.
separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis: quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.
13 And every firstling of a donkey you ransom with a lamb, and if you do not ransom [it], then you have beheaded it; and you ransom every firstborn of man among your sons.
Primogenitum asini mutabis ove: quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.
14 And it has been, when your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [is] this? That you have said to him, By strength of hand YHWH has brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid est hoc? respondebis ei: In manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis.
15 indeed, it comes to pass, when Pharaoh has been pained to send us away, that YHWH slays every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man even to the firstborn of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to YHWH all opening a womb who [are] males, and I ransom every firstborn of my sons;
Nam cum induratus esset Pharao, et nollet nos dimittere, occidit Dominus omne primogenitum in Terra Aegypti a primogenito hominis usque ad primogenitum iumentorum: idcirco immolo Domino omne quod aperit vulvam masculini sexus, et omnia primogenita filiorum meorum redimo.
16 and it has been for a token on your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought us out of Egypt.”
Erit igitur quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi appensum quid, ob recordationem, ante oculos tuos: eo quod in manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto.
17 And it comes to pass in Pharaoh’s sending the people away, that God has not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, “Lest the people sigh in their seeing war, and have turned back toward Egypt”;
Igitur cum emisisset Pharao populum, non eos duxit Dominus per viam Terrae Philisthiim quae vicina est: reputans ne forte poeniteret eum, si vidisset adversum se bella consurgere, et reverteretur in Aegyptum.
18 and God turns around the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and the sons of Israel have gone up by fifties from the land of Egypt.
Sed circumduxit per viam deserti, quae est iuxta Mare rubrum: et armati ascenderunt filii Israel de Terra Aegypti.
19 And Moses takes the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place] with you.”
Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Ioseph secum: eo quod adiurasset filios Israel, dicens: Visitabit vos Deus, efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.
20 And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,
Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham in extremis finibus solitudinis.
21 and YHWH 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;
Dominus autem praecedebat eos ad ostendendam viam per diem in columna nubis, et per noctem in columna ignis: ut dux esset itineris utroque tempore.
22 He does not remove the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
