Exodus 13
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Y JEHOVÁ habló á Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Set apart all the firstborn males in order that they may belong to me. The firstborn males of the Israeli people and of their animals will be mine.”
Santifícame todo primogénito, cualquiera que abre matriz entre los hijos de Israel, así de los hombres como de los animales: mío es.
3 Moses/I said to the people, “Do not forget this day! This is the day that you are leaving Egypt. This is the day you [are freed from] being their slaves. Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]. Do not eat any bread that has yeast in it [whenever you celebrate] this day.
Y Moisés dijo al pueblo: Tened memoria de aqueste día, en el cual habéis salido de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre; pues Jehová os ha sacado de aquí con mano fuerte: por tanto, no comeréis leudado.
4 You are leaving Egypt on this day, which is the first day of the month that is [named] Abib.
Vosotros salís hoy en el mes de Abib.
5 Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Hiv, and Jebus [now live], the land that he solemnly promised to give to you, a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY], you must celebrate this festival during this month [every year].
Y cuando Jehová te hubiere metido en la tierra del Cananeo, y del Hetheo, y del Amorrheo, y del Hebeo, y del Jebuseo, la cual juró á tus padres que te daría, tierra que destila leche y miel, harás este servicio en aqueste mes.
6 For seven days the bread that you eat must not have any yeast in it. On the seventh day there must be a festival to [honor] Yahweh.
Siete días comerás por leudar, y el séptimo día será fiesta á Jehová.
7 For seven days do not eat bread that has yeast in it. You should not have any yeast or bread made with yeast anywhere in your land.
Por los siete días se comerán los panes sin levadura; y no se verá contigo leudado, ni levadura en todo tu término.
8 On the day [the festival starts], you must tell your children, ‘[We are doing this to remember] what Yahweh did for our ancestors when they left Egypt.
Y contarás en aquel día á tu hijo, diciendo: Hácese esto con motivo de lo que Jehová hizo conmigo cuando me sacó de Egipto.
9 This ritual will remind you how Yahweh brought your ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY]. [The ritual will be like something] you tie on your forehead or on your wrist. It will remind you to recite to others what Yahweh has instructed you.
Y serte ha como una señal sobre tu mano, y como una memoria delante de tus ojos, para que la ley de Jehová esté en tu boca; por cuanto con mano fuerte te sacó Jehová de Egipto.
10 So you must celebrate this festival every year at the time [Yahweh] has appointed.’
Por tanto, tú guardarás este rito en su tiempo de año en año.
11 Yahweh will bring you into the land where the descendants of Canaan live, just as he promised you and your ancestors that he would do. When he gives that land to you,
Y cuando Jehová te hubiere metido en la tierra del Cananeo, como te ha jurado á ti y á tus padres, y cuando te la hubiere dado,
12 you must dedicate to Yahweh the firstborn males of all your animals. These all will belong to Yahweh.
Harás pasar á Jehová todo lo que abriere la matriz, asimismo todo primerizo que abriere la matriz de tus animales: los machos serán de Jehová.
13 You may keep the firstborn male donkeys, but you must buy them back by sacrificing a lamb as a substitute for the donkey. If you do not want to buy back the donkey, you must [kill it by] breaking its neck. You must also buy back every one of your own firstborn sons.
Mas todo primogénito de asno redimirás con un cordero; y si no lo redimieres, le degollarás: asimismo redimirás todo humano primogénito de tus hijos.
14 In the future, when one of your children asks, ‘What does this mean?’, you must say to him, ‘Yahweh brought our ancestors out of Egypt with his great power [MTY], and freed us from being slaves there.
Y cuando mañana te preguntare tu hijo, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? decirle has: Jehová nos sacó con mano fuerte de Egipto, de casa de servidumbre;
15 The king of Egypt stubbornly refused to let them leave his country, so Yahweh killed all the firstborn males in Egypt, both the boys and the firstborn of their livestock. That is why we now sacrifice to Yahweh all the firstborn of our livestock, but we buy back our own firstborn sons.’
Y endureciéndose Faraón en no dejarnos ir, Jehová mató en la tierra de Egipto á todo primogénito, desde el primogénito humano hasta el primogénito de la bestia: y por esta causa yo sacrifico á Jehová todo primogénito macho, y redimo todo primogénito de mis hijos.
16 I repeat that this ritual will remind you about how Yahweh brought our [ancestors] out of Egypt by his great power [MTY]; it will be like something you tie on your wrist or on your forehead [to remind you of that].”
Serte ha, pues, como una señal sobre tu mano, y por una memoria delante de tus ojos; ya que Jehová nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte.
17 When the king [of Egypt] let the [Israeli] people go, God did not lead them to go through the land of the Philistines. That was a shorter way, but God said, “It would be bad if my people change their minds when they realize that they will have to fight [the Philistines to take their land], and then [decide to] return to Egypt.”
Y luego que Faraón dejó ir al pueblo, Dios no los llevó por el camino de la tierra de los Filisteos, que estaba cerca; porque dijo Dios: Que quizá no se arrepienta el pueblo cuando vieren la guerra, y se vuelvan á Egipto:
18 Instead, God led them to go around through the desert toward the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). When the Israeli people left Egypt, they were carrying weapons to fight [their enemies].
Mas hizo Dios al pueblo que rodease por el camino del desierto del mar Bermejo. Y subieron los hijos de Israel de Egipto armados.
19 Moses/I [had them] take along the bones of Joseph with them/us, because Joseph long ago had made the Israeli people promise solemnly that they would do that. He had said to them, “God will enable your descendants to leave Egypt. When that happens, you must carry my bones with you.”
Tomó también consigo Moisés los huesos de José, el cual había juramentado á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Dios ciertamente os visitará, y haréis subir mis huesos de aquí con vosotros.
20 The Israeli people left Succoth and traveled to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and they set up their tents there.
Y partidos de Succoth, asentaron campo en Etham, á la entrada del desierto.
21 [When they traveled] during the daytime, Yahweh went in front of them in a tall [white] cloud to show them the way. During the night, he went in front of them in a tall cloud that looked like a fire. By doing that, he enabled them to travel in the daytime and also at nighttime.
Y Jehová iba delante de ellos de día en una columna de nube, para guiarlos por el camino; y de noche en una columna de fuego para alumbrarles; á fin de que anduviesen de día y de noche.
22 The tall cloud did not leave them. It was always in front of them, as a bright white cloud in the daytime and like a fire at night.
Nunca se partió de delante del pueblo la columna de nube de día, ni de noche la columna de fuego.
