Exodus 13
1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 "Set apart to me all the firstborn. Whatever is first from the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal; 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 said to the people, "Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
Et ait Moyses ad populum: Mementote diei huius in qua egressi estis de Ægypto et de domo servitutis, quoniam in manu forti eduxit vos Dominus de loco isto: ut non comedatis fermentatum panem.
4 On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.
Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.
5 And it shall be, when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you must keep this ceremony in this month.
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananæi et Hethæi et Amorrhæi et Hevæi et Iebusæi, quam iuravit patribus tuis ut daret tibi, terram fluentem lacte et melle, celebrabis hunc morem sacrorum mense isto.
6 Six days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah.
Septem diebus vesceris azymis: et in die septimo erit sollemnitas Domini.
7 Unleavened bread is to be eaten throughout the seven days. Nothing leavened is to be seen among you, nor is any leaven to be seen among you in all your territory.
Azyma comedetis septem diebus: non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.
8 And you are to tell your son on that day, saying, 'It is because of what Jehovah did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens: Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Ægypto.
9 And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that the law of Jehovah may be in your mouth, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought you out of Egypt.
Et erit quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi monimentum ante oculos tuos: et ut lex Domini semper sit in ore tuo, in manu enim forti eduxit te Dominus de Ægypto.
10 Therefore you are to keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.
Custodies huiuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.
11 "And it shall be, when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananæi, sicut iuravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam:
12 that you are to set apart to Jehovah everything that is first from the womb. Every firstborn male animal belongs to Jehovah.
separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis: quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.
13 Every firstborn of a donkey you are to redeem with a lamb, but if you will not redeem it, then you must break its neck. And every firstborn of man among your sons you must redeem.
Primogenitum asini mutabis ove: quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.
14 And it shall be, when your son asks you in the future, saying, 'What is this?' then you are to tell him, 'With a mighty hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.
Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid est hoc? respondebis ei: In manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
15 And it happened, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Jehovah killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. This is why I am sacrificing to Jehovah any male that is first from the womb of an animal, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.'
Nam cum induratus esset Pharao, et nollet nos dimittere, occidit Dominus omne primogenitum in Terra Ægypti a primogenito hominis usque ad primogenitum iumentorum: idcirco immolo Domino omne quod aperit vulvam masculini sexus, et omnia primogenita filiorum meorum redimo.
16 So it will be as a sign on your hand and at the front of a headband around your forehead, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought us out of Egypt."
Erit igitur quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi appensum quid, ob recordationem, inter oculos tuos: eo quod in manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto.
17 Then it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt."
Igitur cum emisisset Pharao populum, non eos duxit Deus per viam Terræ Philisthiim quæ vicina est: reputans ne forte pœniteret eum, si vidisset adversum se bella consurgere, et reverteretur in Ægyptum.
18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up from the land of Egypt prepared for battle.
Sed circumduxit per viam deserti, quæ est iuxta Mare Rubrum: et armati ascenderunt filii Israel de Terra Ægypti.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear an oath, saying, "God will surely attend to you, and you are to carry my bones up with you from this place."
Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Ioseph secum: eo quod adiurasset filios Israel, dicens: Visitabit vos Deus, efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.
20 Then they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham in extremis finibus solitudinis.
21 And God went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night.
Dominus autem præcedebat eos ad ostendendam viam per diem in columna nubis, et per noctem in columna ignis: ut dux esset itineris utroque tempore.
22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire at night from in front of the people.
Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
