Exodus 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The LORD spoke to Moses and said,	1 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
2 "Consecrate to me every first-born that opens the womb among the Israelites, both of man and beast, for it belongs to me."	2 αγιασον μοι παν πρωτοτοκον πρωτογενες διανοιγον πασαν μητραν εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους εμοι εστιν
3 Moses said to the people, "Remember this day on which you came out of Egypt, that place of slavery. It was with a strong hand that the LORD brought you away. Nothing made with leaven must be eaten.	3 ειπεν δε μωυσης προς τον λαον μνημονευετε την ημεραν ταυτην εν η εξηλθατε εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν υμας κυριος εντευθεν και ου βρωθησεται ζυμη
4 This day of your departure is in the month of Abib.	4 εν γαρ τη σημερον υμεις εκπορευεσθε εν μηνι των νεων
5 Therefore, it is in this month that you must celebrate this rite, after the LORD, your God, has brought you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers he would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey.	5 και εσται ηνικα εαν εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην των χαναναιων και χετταιων και ευαιων και γεργεσαιων και αμορραιων και φερεζαιων και ιεβουσαιων ην ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν σου δουναι σοι γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι και ποιησεις την λατρειαν ταυτην εν τω μηνι τουτω
6 For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and the seventh day shall also be a festival to the LORD.	6 εξ ημερας εδεσθε αζυμα τη δε ημερα τη εβδομη εορτη κυριου
7 Only unleavened bread may be eaten during the seven days; no leaven and nothing leavened may be found in all your territory.	7 αζυμα εδεσθε τας επτα ημερας ουκ οφθησεται σοι ζυμωτον ουδε εσται σοι ζυμη εν πασιν τοις οριοις σου
8 On this day you shall explain to your son, 'This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'	8 και αναγγελεις τω υιω σου εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων δια τουτο εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος μοι ως εξεπορευομην εξ αιγυπτου
9 It shall be as a sign on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead; thus the law of the LORD will ever be on your lips, because with a strong hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.	9 και εσται σοι σημειον επι της χειρος σου και μνημοσυνον προ οφθαλμων σου οπως αν γενηται ο νομος κυριου εν τω στοματι σου εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος εξ αιγυπτου
10 Therefore, you shall keep this prescribed rite at its appointed time from year to year.	10 και φυλαξεσθε τον νομον τουτον κατα καιρους ωρων αφ' ημερων εις ημερας
11 "When the LORD, your God, has brought you into the land of the Canaanites, which he swore to you and your fathers he would give you,	11 και εσται ως αν εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην των χαναναιων ον τροπον ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν σου και δωσει σοι αυτην
12 you shall dedicate to the LORD every son that opens the womb; and all the male firstlings of your animals shall belong to the LORD.	12 και αφελεις παν διανοιγον μητραν τα αρσενικα τω κυριω παν διανοιγον μητραν εκ των βουκολιων η εν τοις κτηνεσιν σου οσα εαν γενηται σοι τα αρσενικα αγιασεις τω κυριω
13 Every first-born of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep. If you do not redeem it, you shall break its neck. Every first-born son you must redeem.	13 παν διανοιγον μητραν ονου αλλαξεις προβατω εαν δε μη αλλαξης λυτρωση αυτο παν πρωτοτοκον ανθρωπου των υιων σου λυτρωση
14 If your son should ask you later on, 'What does this mean?' you shall tell him, 'With a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, that place of slavery.	14 εαν δε ερωτηση σε ο υιος σου μετα ταυτα λεγων τι τουτο και ερεις αυτω οτι εν χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν ημας κυριος εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every first-born in the land of Egypt, every first-born of man and of beast. That is why I sacrifice to the LORD everything of the male sex that opens the womb, and why I redeem every first-born of my sons.'	15 ηνικα δε εσκληρυνεν φαραω εξαποστειλαι ημας απεκτεινεν παν πρωτοτοκον εν γη αιγυπτω απο πρωτοτοκων ανθρωπων εως πρωτοτοκων κτηνων δια τουτο εγω θυω τω κυριω παν διανοιγον μητραν τα αρσενικα και παν πρωτοτοκον των υιων μου λυτρωσομαι
16 Let this, then, be as a sign on your hand and as a pendant on your forehead: with a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."	16 και εσται εις σημειον επι της χειρος σου και ασαλευτον προ οφθαλμων σου εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν σε κυριος εξ αιγυπτου
17 Now, when Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the Philistines' land, though this was the nearest; for he thought, should the people see that they would have to fight, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.	17 ως δε εξαπεστειλεν φαραω τον λαον ουχ ωδηγησεν αυτους ο θεος οδον γης φυλιστιιμ οτι εγγυς ην ειπεν γαρ ο θεος μηποτε μεταμεληση τω λαω ιδοντι πολεμον και αποστρεψη εις αιγυπτον
18 Instead, he rerouted them toward the Red Sea by way of the desert road. In battle array the Israelites marched out of Egypt.	18 και εκυκλωσεν ο θεος τον λαον οδον την εις την ερημον εις την ερυθραν θαλασσαν πεμπτη δε γενεα ανεβησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου
19 Moses also took Joseph's bones along, for Joseph had made the Israelites swear solemnly that, when God should come to them, they would carry his bones away with them.	19 και ελαβεν μωυσης τα οστα ιωσηφ μεθ' εαυτου ορκω γαρ ωρκισεν ιωσηφ τους υιους ισραηλ λεγων επισκοπη επισκεψεται υμας κυριος και συνανοισετε μου τα οστα εντευθεν μεθ' υμων
20 Setting out from Succoth, they camped at Etham near the edge of the desert.	20 εξαραντες δε οι υιοι ισραηλ εκ σοκχωθ εστρατοπεδευσαν εν οθομ παρα την ερημον
21 The LORD preceded them, in the daytime by means of a column of cloud to show them the way, and at night by means of a column of fire to give them light. Thus they could travel both day and night.	21 ο δε θεος ηγειτο αυτων ημερας μεν εν στυλω νεφελης δειξαι αυτοις την οδον την δε νυκτα εν στυλω πυρος
22 Neither the column of cloud by day nor the column of fire by night ever left its place in front of the people.	22 ουκ εξελιπεν ο στυλος της νεφελης ημερας και ο στυλος του πυρος νυκτος εναντιον παντος του λαου
