< Exodus 13 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:١
2 “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
«خَصِّصْ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ. كُلُّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ لِي. كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَوِ الْبَهَائِمِ».٢
3 Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
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.٣
4 Today you go out in the month Abib.
الْيَوْمَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ فِي شَهْرِ آذَارَ – مَارِسَ) أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ،٤
5 It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
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.٥
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَا تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا خُبْزاً مُخْتَمِراً، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ يَكُونُ احْتِفَالٌ لِلرَّبِّ.٦
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.
سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا خُبْزاً فَطِيراً وَلا تَحْتَفِظُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ أَوْ بِخَمِيرٍ.٧
8 You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَقُولُ لابْنِكَ: إنَّنِي أُمَارِسُ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَهُ الرَّبُّ لِي، حِينَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ.٨
9 It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.
فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةُ بِمَثَابَةِ عَلامَةٍ عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَتَذْكَاراً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ، لِتَكُونَ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ فِي فَمِكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَخْرَجَكَ بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ.٩
10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
فَتُمَارِسُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ فِي مِيعَادِهَا مَرَّةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.١٠
11 “It shall be, when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
وَيَكُونُ حِينَ يُدْخِلُكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ لَكَ وَلِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يَهَبَكَ إِيَّاهَا،١١
12 that you shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be the LORD’s.
أَنَّكَ تَفْرِزُ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ. وَكَذَلِكَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي تَمْلِكُهَا يَكُونُ لِلرَّبِّ.١٢
13 Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.
إِنَّمَا كُلُّ بِكْرِ حِمَارٍ تَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ تَكْسِرْ عُنُقَهُ. وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْدِي أَيْضاً كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ بَنِيكَ.١٣
14 It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
وَحِينَ يَسْأَلُكَ ابْنُكَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ: مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا؟ تُجِيبُهُ: إِنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ دِيَارِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ.١٤
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
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.١٥
16 It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةُ بِمَثَابَةِ عَلامَةٍ عَلَى يَدِكَ وَرَمْزاً عَلَى جَبْهَتِكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَخْرَجَنَا بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ».١٦
17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
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.١٧
18 but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
إِنَّمَا اقْتَادَ اللهُ الشَّعْبَ عَبْرَ صَحْرَاءِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ. وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ غَادَرُوا مِصْرَ مُتَسَلِّحِينَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْقِتَالِ.١٨
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”
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».١٩
20 They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَخَيَّمُوا فِي إِيثَامَ عَلَى طَرَفِ الصَّحْرَاءِ.٢٠
21 The LORD 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, that they might go by day and by night:
وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ نَهَاراً فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَلَيْلاً فِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لِيُضِيءَ لَهُمْ.٢١
22 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.
وَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ نَهَاراً وَعَمُودُ النَّارِ لَيْلاً مِنْ أَمَامِ الشَّعْبِ.٢٢
