Exodus 13

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 Sanctify to me all the first-born, whatever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: 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 ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place]: there shall no leavened bread 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 This day ye came out in the month Abib.

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

5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey; that thou shalt keep this service 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 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.

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

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days: and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

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

8 And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did to me when I came forth 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 for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy eyes; that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee 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 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

١٠ فَتُمَارِسُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ فِي مِيعَادِهَا مَرَّةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.

11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee,

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

12 That thou shall set apart to the LORD all that openeth the matrix; and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast, the males [shall be] the LORD'S.

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

13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou 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 thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say to him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

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

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly 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 beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the first-born of my children 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 And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

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

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near, for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they 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 But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up harnassed from the land of Egypt.

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 strictly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.

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 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

٢٠ وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَخَيَّمُوا فِي إِيثَامَ عَلَى طَرَفِ الصَّحْرَاءِ.

21 And the LORD went 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 them light: to go by day and night.

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

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.

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