Exodus 13

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

«قَدِّسْ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ، كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ النَّاسِ وَمِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ. إِنَّهُ لِي».

And Moses said unto 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.

وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «اذْكُرُوا هذَا الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَا. وَلاَ يُؤْكَلُ خَمِيرٌ.

This day came ye out in the month Abib.

اَلْيَوْمَ أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ.

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 sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ الرَّبُّ أَرْضَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ الَّتِي حَلَفَ لآبَائِكَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلاً، أَنَّكَ تَصْنَعُ هذِهِ الْخِدْمَةَ فِي هذَا الشَّهْرِ.

Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابعِ عِيدٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

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.

فَطِيرٌ يُؤْكَلُ السَّبْعَةَ الأَيَّامِ، وَلاَ يُرَى عِنْدَكَ مُخْتَمِرٌ، وَلاَ يُرَى عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ.

And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

«وَتُخْبِرُ ابْنَكَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلاً: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ.

And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

وَيَكُونُ لَكَ عَلاَمَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَتَذْكَارًا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ فِي فَمِكَ. لأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

فَتَحْفَظُ هذِهِ الْفَرِيضَةَ فِي وَقْتِهَا مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ.

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

«وَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَدْخَلَكَ الرَّبُّ أَرْضَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لَكَ وَلآبَائِكَ، وَأَعْطَاكَ إِيَّاهَا،

That thou shalt set apart unto 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.

أَنَّكَ تُقَدِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَكُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ نِتَاجِ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ لَكَ. الذُّكُورُ لِلرَّبِّ.

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 firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ بِكْرِ حِمَارٍ تَفْدِيهِ بِشَاةٍ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ فَتَكْسِرُ عُنُقَهُ. وَكُلُّ بِكْرِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَوْلاَدِكَ تَفْدِيهِ.

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

«وَيَكُونُ مَتَى سَأَلَكَ ابْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلاً: مَا هذَا؟ تَقُولُ لَهُ: بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَقَسَّى فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ إِطْلاَقِنَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ النَّاسِ إِلَى بِكْرِ الْبَهَائِمِ. لِذلِكَ أَنَا أَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ الذُّكُورَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَأَفْدِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ أَوْلاَدِي.

And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

فَيَكُونُ عَلاَمَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَعِصَابَةً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ. لأَنَّهُ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ أَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

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:

وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَطْلَقَ فِرْعَوْنُ الشَّعْبَ أَنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَهْدِهِمْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَرْضِ الْفَلَسْطِينِيِّينَ مَعَ أَنَّهَا قَرِيبَةٌ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَالَ: «لِئَلاَّ يَنْدَمَ الشَّعْبُ إِذَا رَأَوْا حَرْبًا وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ».

But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

فَأَدَارَ اللهُ الشَّعْبَ فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. وَصَعِدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُتَجَهِّزِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ مَعَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَلْفٍ قَائِلاً: «إِنَّ اللهَ سَيَفْتَقِدُكُمْ فَتُصْعِدُونَ عِظَامِي مِنْ هُنَا مَعَكُمْ».

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

وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ سُكُّوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي إِيثَامَ فِي طَرَفِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهُمْ نَهَارًا فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَلَيْلاً فِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لِيُضِيءَ لَهُمْ. لِكَيْ يَمْشُوا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلاً.

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

لَمْ يَبْرَحْ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ نَهَارًا وَعَمُودُ النَّارِ لَيْلاً مِنْ أَمَامِ الشَّعْبِ.
