Exodus 13
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of 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, when 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.
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 This day in the month Abib, ye came out.
Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.
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.
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 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Septem diebus vesceris azymis: et in die septimo erit sollemnitas Domini.
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.
Azyma comedes septem diebus: non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.
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.
Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens: Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Aegypto.
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.
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 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Custodies huiuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.
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,
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in Terram Chananaei, sicut iuravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam:
12 That thou shall set apart to the LORD all that openeth the womb, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’S.
separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis: quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.
13 And every firstling of a donkey 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.
Primogenitum asini mutabis ove: quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.
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:
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 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 beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I 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 token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth 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 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 the people repent when they see war, and they 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 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up armed from 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 sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones from here with you.
Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Ioseph secum: eo quod adiurasset filios Israel, dicens: Visitabit vos Deus, efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham in extremis finibus solitudinis.
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:
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 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
