< Exodus 2 >

1 Ke pacl se inge sie mukul ke sruf lal Levi el payukyak sin sie mutan in sruf sacna,
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 ac mutan sac el oswela tulik mukul se. Ke el liye lah tulik na wowo se, el okanulla malem tolu.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 Na ke el tia ku in sifil okanulla, el orala fotoh se ke ah, na el itangla ke mwe fulful in tia wohn. El filiya tulik sac loac ac usla filiya inmasrlon ah sisken infacl uh.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 Tulik mutan se wien tulik sac el tu loes kutu lukel in liye lah mea ac sikyak nu sel.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 Na acn se natul tokosra tufoki in yihyih ke infacl soko ah, ac mutan kulansap lal tuelik sisken infacl ah. Na el liyauk fotoh sac inmasrlon ac ah, ac el sap sie mutan kulansap lal in som use.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6 Fisrak sac ikasla ac liyauk tulik mukul srisrik se. Tulik sac tung, na el pakomutal ac fahk, “Tulik srisrik Hebrew se pa nge.”
And she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
7 Na tulik mutan se wien tulik sac siyuk, “Mea, nga ac tia som konauk sie mutan Hebrew ah in katiti tulik se inge?”
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?'
8 El topuk, “Wona.” Ouinge tulik mutan sac som solama nina na kien tulik sac.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
9 Fisrak sac fahk nu sin nina sac, “Eis tulik se inge ac liyalang, ac nga fah moli nu sum.” Ouinge el us tulik sac ac liyalang.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her: 'Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.' And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 Tok, ke tulik sac matula, nina sac el usalla nu yurin acn natul tokosra, su nutella oana ma na natul. El fahk mu, “Nga fah sang inel ‘Moses’ mweyen nga ololak liki inkof uh.”
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said: 'Because I drew him out of the water.'
11 Ke Moses el matula, el som mutwata yurin mwet lal mwet Hebrew, ac el liye lupan orekma upa ma itukyang elos in oru. El liye pac ke sie mwet Egypt el uni sie mwet Hebrew wial ah.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Moses el ngetot ngetma in suk lah oasr mwet liyal, na ke wangin, el uniya mwet Egypt sac ac pikinya manol in puk uh.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Len tok ah, el folokla ac liye ke sie mwet Hebrew uni sie pac. Na Moses el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku uni mwet Hebrew wiom?”
And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
14 Mwet sac topuk ac fahk, “Su oru tuh kom in mwet leum ac mwet nununku facsr? Mea, kom ac uniyuwi oana ke kom uniya mwet Egypt sac?” Ke Moses el akilen lah mwet uh etu tari ma se el orala, na el sangeng.
And he said: 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is known.'
15 Ke pacl se tokosra el lohngak, el suk in unilya Moses. Tusruktu Moses el kaingla ac som muta in acn Midian. Sie len ah, ke Moses el muta pe lufin kof se,
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
16 na acn itkosr natul Jethro, mwet tol lun Midian, tuku in ut kof ac oayapa nwek mwe nim kof nimen sheep ac nani nutin papa tumaltal ah.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Na oasr kutu mwet liyaung sheep ac nani tuku lusak acn natul Jethro ah. Moses el tuyak ac kasru acn ekasr ah, ac el sang kof nimen kosro nutin papa tumaltal ah.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Ke elos folokla nu yurin papa sac, el siyuk selos, “Komtak ku sa folok misenge?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?'
19 Elos topuk, “Mwet Egypt se kasrekut ke kutu pac mwet liyaung sheep aklokoalokye kut, ac el oayapa ut kof lasr ac kiteya pac kosro natusr ah.”
And they said: 'An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.'
20 El siyuk seltal, “El aya? Komtal ku tia usalu? Fahla solalma elan wi kut mongo.”
And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.'
21 Ouinge Moses el sulela elan mutana we. Na Jethro el esalang Zipporah, acn natul, in mutan kial.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Zipporah el oswela wen se, ac Moses el fahk, “Nga mwetsac se nu fin facl se inge, ouinge nga fah sang inel Gershom.”
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.'
23 Tukun yac pus, tokosra lun acn Egypt el misa, tusruktu mwet Israel srakna yohk akkohs nu selos, ac elos sasaolana ke orekma upa lalos. Elos wowoyak ac suk kasru sin God.
And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Ac God El lohng pusren sasao lalos ac El esam wuleang lal yorol Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 El liye ac etu ouiyen keok lun mwet Israel, ac El kena kasrelos.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
