Exodus 13
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctifica mihi omne primogenitum quod aperit vulvam in filiis Israel, tam de hominibus quam de iumentis: mea sunt enim omnia.
'Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.'
3 Et ait Moyses ad populum: Mementote diei huius in qua egressi estis de Aegypto et de domo servitutis, quoniam in manu forti eduxit vos Dominus de loco isto: ut non comedatis fermentatum panem.
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Remember this day [in] which ye have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this, and any thing fermented is not eaten;
4 Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.
To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib.
5 Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei et Hethaei et Amorrhaei et Hevaei et Iebusaei, quam iuravit patribus tuis ut daret tibi, terram fluentem lacte et melle, celebrabis hunc morem sacrorum mense isto.
'And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou hast done this service in this month.
6 Septem diebus vesceris azymis: et in die septimo erit sollemnitas Domini.
'Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a feast to Jehovah;
7 Azyma comedes septem diebus: non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.
unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.
8 Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens: Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Aegypto.
'And thou hast declared to thy son in that day, saying, '[It is] because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out from Egypt,
9 Et erit quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi monumentum ante oculos tuos: et ut lex Domini semper sit in ore tuo, in manu enim forti eduxit te Dominus de Aegypto.
and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;
10 Custodies huiuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.
and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season from days to days.
11 Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei, sicut iuravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam:
'And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it to thee,
12 separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis: quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.
that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling — the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males [are] Jehovah's.
13 Primogenitum asini mutabis ove: quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.
'And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom [it], then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.
14 Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid est hoc? respondebis ei: In manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis.
'And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [is] this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
15 Nam cum induratus esset Pharao, et nollet nos dimittere, occidit Dominus omne primogenitum in Terra Aegypti a primogenito hominis usque ad primogenitum iumentorum: idcirco immolo Domino omne quod aperit vulvam masculini sexus, et omnia primogenita filiorum meorum redimo.
yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who [are] males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;
16 Erit igitur quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi appensum quid, ob recordationem, ante oculos tuos: eo quod in manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto.
and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.'
17 Igitur cum emisisset Pharao populum, non eos duxit Dominus per viam Terrae Philisthiim quae vicina est: reputans ne forte poeniteret eum, si vidisset adversum se bella consurgere, et reverteretur in Aegyptum.
And it cometh to pass in Pharaoh's sending the people away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, 'Lest the people repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards Egypt;'
18 Sed circumduxit per viam deserti, quae est iuxta Mare rubrum: et armati ascenderunt filii Israel de Terra Aegypti.
and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up from the land of Egypt.
19 Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Ioseph secum: eo quod adiurasset filios Israel, dicens: Visitabit vos Deus, efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.
And Moses taketh the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this with you.'
20 Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham in extremis finibus solitudinis.
And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,
21 Dominus autem praecedebat eos ad ostendendam viam per diem in columna nubis, et per noctem in columna ignis: ut dux esset itineris utroque tempore.
and Jehovah is going 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 light to them, to go by day and by night;
22 Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
