Exodus 13

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

2 Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.

Sanctifica mihi omne primogenitum quod aperit vulvam in filiis Israel, tam de hominibus quam de iumentis: mea sunt enim omnia.

3 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you forth thence; and leaven shall not be eaten.

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.

4 For on this day you go forth in the month of new [corn].

Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.

5 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Evites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites, and Pherezites, which he sware to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.

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.

6 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.

Septem diebus vesceris azymis: et in die septimo erit sollemnitas Domini.

7 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; nothing leavened shall be seen with you, neither shall you have leaven in all your borders.

Azyma comedes septem diebus: non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.

8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, Therefore the Lord dealt thus with me, as I was going out of Egypt.

Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens: Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Aegypto.

9 And it shall be to you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.

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.

10 And preserve you this law according to the times of the seasons, from year to year.

Custodies huiuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.

11 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land of the Chananites, as he sware to your fathers, and shall give it you,

Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei, sicut iuravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam:

12 that you shall set apart every [offspring] opening the womb, the males to the Lord, every one that opens the womb out of the herds or among your cattle, as many as you shall have: you shall sanctify the males to the Lord.

separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis: quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.

13 Every [offspring] opening the womb of the ass you shall change for a sheep; and if you will not change it, you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons shall you redeem.

Primogenitum asini mutabis ove: quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.

14 And if your son should ask you hereafter, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid est hoc? respondebis ei: In manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis.

15 And when Pharao hardened [his heart so as not] to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore do I sacrifice every [offspring] that opens the womb, the males to the Lord, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.

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.

16 And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and immovable before your eyes, for with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.

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.

17 And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.

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.

18 And God led the people round by the way to the wilderness, to the Red Sea: and in the fifth generation the children of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt.

Sed circumduxit per viam deserti, quae est iuxta Mare rubrum: et armati ascenderunt filii Israel de Terra Aegypti.

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had solemnly adjured the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones hence with you.

Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Ioseph secum: eo quod adiurasset filios Israel, dicens: Visitabit vos Deus, efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.

20 And the children of Israel departed from Socchoth, and encamped in Othom by the wilderness.

Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham in extremis finibus solitudinis.

21 And God led them, in the day by a pillar of cloud, to show them the way, and in the night by a pillar of fire.

Dominus autem praecedebat eos ad ostendendam viam per diem in columna nubis, et per noctem in columna ignis: ut dux esset itineris utroque tempore.

22 And the pillar of cloud failed not by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.

Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
