μοι πᾶν πρωτότοκον πρωτογενὲς διανοῖγον πᾶσαν μήτραν ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους ἐμοί ἐστιν
Sanctify to me every firstborn, firstborn opening every womb among the sons of Israel, from man to beast; it is mine
δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαόν μνημονεύετε τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην ἐν ᾗ ἐξήλθατε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς κύριος ἐντεῦθεν καὶ οὐ βρωθήσεται ζύμη
And Moses said to the people: Remember this day, in which you came out from the land of Egypt, from a house of slavery; for by a mighty hand the Lord brought you out from here, and leaven shall not be eaten.
For today you are going out in the month of the new fruits.
ἔσται ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰσαγάγῃ σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Ευαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ Αμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Ιεβουσαίων ἣν ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν σου δοῦναί σοι γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι καὶ ποιήσεις τὴν λατρείαν ταύτην ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τούτῳ
And it shall be when the Lord your God brings you into the land of the Canaanites and Hittites and Hivites and Girgashites and Amorites and Perizzites and Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.
For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord
Unleavened bread you shall eat for the seven days; leavened bread shall not be seen by you, and there shall not be leaven for you in all your borders.
ἀναγγελεῖς τῷ υἱῷ σου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων διὰ τοῦτο ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεός μοι ὡς ἐξεπορευόμην ἐξ Αἰγύπτου
And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, Because of this the Lord God did for me, as I was going out from Egypt
ἔσται σοι σημεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός σου καὶ μνημόσυνον πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου ὅπως ἂν γένηται ὁ νόμος κυρίου ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξήγαγέν σε κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου
And it shall be for you a sign upon your hand and a memorial before your eyes, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth; for with a mighty hand the Lord God brought you out of Egypt.
And you shall keep this law at the appointed times, from days to days.
ἔσται ὡς ἂν εἰσαγάγῃ σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων ὃν τρόπον ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν σου καὶ δώσει σοι αὐτήν
And it shall be when the Lord your God brings you into the land of the Canaanites, which he swore to your fathers, and he will give it to you.
ἀφελεῖς πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν τὰ ἀρσενικά τῷ κυρίῳ πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν ἐκ τῶν βουκολίων ἢ ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσίν σου ὅσα ἐὰν γένηταί σοι τὰ ἀρσενικά ἁγιάσεις τῷ κυρίῳ
and you shall set apart every one opening the womb, the males, to the Lord, every one opening the womb from the herds or among your livestock, as many as may be born to you, the males, you shall consecrate to the Lord
διανοῖγον μήτραν ὄνου ἀλλάξεις προβάτῳ ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀλλάξῃς λυτρώσῃ αὐτό πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἀνθρώπου τῶν υἱῶν σου λυτρώσῃ
Every one opening the womb of a donkey you shall exchange for a sheep; but if you do not exchange it, you shall ransom it. Every firstborn of man among your sons you shall ransom.
δὲ ἐρωτήσῃ σε ὁ υἱός σου μετὰ ταῦτα λέγων τί τοῦτο καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς κύριος ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας
And if your son should ask you after these things, saying, What is this? then you shall say to him, Because by a mighty hand the Lord brought us out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
δὲ ἐσκλήρυνεν Φαραω ἐξαποστεῖλαι ἡμᾶς ἀπέκτεινεν πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἀπὸ πρωτοτόκων ἀνθρώπων ἕως πρωτοτόκων κτηνῶν διὰ τοῦτο ἐγὼ θύω τῷ κυρίῳ πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν τὰ ἀρσενικά καὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον τῶν υἱῶν μου λυτρώσομαι
But when Pharaoh hardened to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from firstborn of men to firstborn of beasts; therefore I sacrifice to the Lord every one that opens the womb, the males, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.
ἔσται εἰς σημεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἀσάλευτον πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξήγαγέν σε κύριος ἐξ Αἰγύπτου
And it shall be for a sign upon your hand and immovable before your eyes, for by a mighty hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt
δὲ ἐξαπέστειλεν Φαραω τὸν λαόν οὐχ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς ὁδὸν γῆς Φυλιστιιμ ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν εἶπεν γὰρ ὁ θεός μήποτε μεταμελήσῃ τῷ λαῷ ἰδόντι πόλεμον καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ εἰς Αἴγυπτον
Now when Pharaoh had sent the people away, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, because it was near; for God said, lest the people repent when they see war and turn back to Egypt.
ἐκύκλωσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον εἰς τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν πέμπτη δὲ γενεὰ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου
And God led the people around by the way that led into the wilderness to the Red Sea, and in the fifth generation the sons of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt
ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς τὰ ὀστᾶ Ιωσηφ μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ ὅρκῳ γὰρ ὥρκισεν Ιωσηφ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ λέγων ἐπισκοπῇ ἐπισκέψεται ὑμᾶς κύριος καὶ συνανοίσετέ μου τὰ ὀστᾶ ἐντεῦθεν μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had solemnly sworn the sons of Israel, saying, By visitation the Lord will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you.
And the sons of Israel, having set out from Sokchoth, camped in Othom beside the wilderness.
And God was leading them by day in a pillar of cloud to show them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire
The pillar of the cloud by day did not fail, and the pillar of fire by night, before all the people.
