Exodus 13

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

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."

٢ «خَصِّصْ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ. كُلُّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ لِي. كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَوِ الْبَهَائِمِ».

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 the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

٣ وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «اذْكُرُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي خَرَجْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، فَقَدْ أَطْلَقَكُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَا بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا خُبْزاً مُخْتَمِراً.

4 On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.

٤ الْيَوْمَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ فِي شَهْرِ آذَارَ – مَارِسَ) أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ،

5 And it shall be, when the LORD 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.

٥ لِذَلِكَ عِنْدَمَا يُدْخِلُكُمُ الرَّبُّ أَرْضَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَالَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يَهَبَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، تُمَارِسُونَ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ.

6 Six days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the LORD.

٦ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا خُبْزاً مُخْتَمِراً، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ يَكُونُ احْتِفَالٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

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.

٧ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا خُبْزاً فَطِيراً وَلا تَحْتَفِظُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ أَوْ بِخَمِيرٍ.

8 And you are to tell your son on that day, saying, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'

٨ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَقُولُ لابْنِكَ: إنَّنِي أُمَارِسُ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَهُ الرَّبُّ لِي، حِينَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ.

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 the LORD may be in your mouth, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.

٩ فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةُ بِمَثَابَةِ عَلامَةٍ عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَتَذْكَاراً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ، لِتَكُونَ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ فِي فَمِكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَخْرَجَكَ بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

10 Therefore you are to keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.

١٠ فَتُمَارِسُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ فِي مِيعَادِهَا مَرَّةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.

11 "And it shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

١١ وَيَكُونُ حِينَ يُدْخِلُكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ لَكَ وَلِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يَهَبَكَ إِيَّاهَا،

12 that you are to set apart to the LORD everything that is first from the womb. Every firstborn male animal belongs to the LORD.

١٢ أَنَّكَ تَفْرِزُ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ. وَكَذَلِكَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي تَمْلِكُهَا يَكُونُ لِلرَّبِّ.

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.

١٣ إِنَّمَا كُلُّ بِكْرِ حِمَارٍ تَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ تَكْسِرْ عُنُقَهُ. وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْدِي أَيْضاً كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ بَنِيكَ.

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 the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.

١٤ وَحِينَ يَسْأَلُكَ ابْنُكَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ: مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا؟ تُجِيبُهُ: إِنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ دِيَارِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

15 And it happened, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that the LORD 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 the LORD any male that is first from the womb of an animal, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.'

١٥ وَعِنْدَمَا تَصَلَّبَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَامْتَنَعَ عَنْ إِطْلاقِنَا، أَهْلَكَ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي بِلادِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ أَبْكَارِ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُقَرِّبُ لِلرَّبِّ الذُّكُورَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ وَأَفْدِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ أَوْلادِي.

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 the LORD brought us out of Egypt."

١٦ فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةُ بِمَثَابَةِ عَلامَةٍ عَلَى يَدِكَ وَرَمْزاً عَلَى جَبْهَتِكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَخْرَجَنَا بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

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."

١٧ وَعِنْدَمَا أَطْلَقَ فِرْعَوْنُ الشَّعْبَ لَمْ يَقُدْهُمُ اللهُ فِي طَرِيقِ بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ قِصَرِهَا. لأَنَّ اللهَ قَالَ لِئَلّا يَنْدَمَ الشَّعْبُ إِذَا تَعَرَّضَ لِحَرْبٍ وَيَرْجِعَ إِلَى مِصْرَ.

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.

١٨ إِنَّمَا اقْتَادَ اللهُ الشَّعْبَ عَبْرَ صَحْرَاءِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ. وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ غَادَرُوا مِصْرَ مُتَسَلِّحِينَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْقِتَالِ.

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."

١٩ وَحَمَلَ مُوسَى عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ مَعَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَلْفٍ قَائِلاً: «لابُدَّ أَنْ يَفْتَقِدَكُمُ اللهُ فَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَنْقُلُوا عِظَامِي مَعَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ».

20 Then they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.

٢٠ وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَخَيَّمُوا فِي إِيثَامَ عَلَى طَرَفِ الصَّحْرَاءِ.

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.

٢١ وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ نَهَاراً فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَلَيْلاً فِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لِيُضِيءَ لَهُمْ.

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.

٢٢ وَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ نَهَاراً وَعَمُودُ النَّارِ لَيْلاً مِنْ أَمَامِ الشَّعْبِ.
