Eksodosy 2
1 Ie amy zao, nañenga ty anak’ ampela’ i Levy t’indaty boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Levy.
After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.
2 Niareñe i rakembay, nitoly ana-dahy, le nioni’e te soa i ajajamenay vaho naeta’e telo volañe.
And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.
3 Aa ie tsy nahafañetak’ aze ka, le nangala’e vakoa-vinda naho nipakora’e mozòtse naho lite-laka vaho najo’e ao i anak’ ajajay vaho natsorofo’e am-binda añolon-drano ey.
And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.
4 Nijohañe ey ty zoke’e ampela nisamba ze hanoañe aze.
His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.
5 Nizotso mb’an-tsaka mb’eo amy zao ty anak’ ampela’ i Parò hiandro, le nijelanjelañe añ’olotse ey o somondrara’eo. Aa naho nitrea’e añate-vinda ao i vakoay le nirahe’e hangalak’ aze ty mpitoro’e ampela,
Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,
6 vaho sinoka’e le nahaisake i anak’ ajajay. Nitañy i ajajamenay vaho niferenaiña’e, ami’ty hoe: Toe anan-te-Evre toke.
she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”
7 Le hoe i rahavave’ey amy ana’ i Paròy, Akore t’ie añitrifako mpampinono amo rakemba nte-Evreo hampinono i ajajay?
And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”
8 Akia, hoe i anak’ ampela’ i Paròy; aa le nimb’eo i ajajampelay nitoka ty rene’ i ajajay.
She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.
9 Hoe i ana’ i Paròy ama’e, Endeso ty ajaja toy le ampinonò ho ahiko vaho ho tambezeko rehe. Aa le nendese’ i rakembay i anak’ ajajay vaho nampinonoe’e.
And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.
10 itombo i ajajay le nendese’e mb’amy anak’ampela’ i Paròy añe vaho rinambe’e ho ana-dahi’e. Natao’e Mosè ty añara’e amy ty hoe, Tinariko boak’an-drano.
And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from the water.”
11 Ie te indraik’ andro naho fa niañoñ’ ay t’i Mosè, le niakatse mb’ am’ ondati’eo nahaoniñe ty nijinia’iareo naho nioni’e ty nte-Mitsraime namofoke ty nte-Evre, raik’ amo longo’eo.
In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.
12 Nijilojilo mb’ etia mb’ eroy, aa ie tsy nahatrea ondaty, le nañohofa’e loza i nte-Mitsraimey vaho naeta’e am-paseñe ao.
And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Ie niakatse mb’eo naho loak’ andro le nanjo ty nte-Evre roe nifandrapake ty aly, le hoe re ami’ty aman-kakeo, Ino ty andafà’o o longo’oo?
And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
14 Le hoe re. Ia ty nañoriñ’ azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Hañe-doza amako ka hao rehe manahake i namonoa’o i nte-Mitsraimeiy? Nihembañ’ amy zao t’i Mosè nitsakore ty hoe, Toe nirendreke i rahay.
But he responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become known?”
15 Jinanji’ i Parò, le nipay ty hañe-doza amy Mosè. Le nibioñe ami’ty tarehe’ i Parò t’i Mosè, noly mb’an-tane Midiane añe vaho niambesatse am-bovoñe eo.
And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
16 Aman-anak’ ampela fito ty mpisoro’ i Midiane. Nimb’ eo iereo nitari-drano nañatsake o dabaogao hampinomeñe ty lia-rain-drae’e.
Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.
17 Pok’eo amy zao o mpiarak’ añondrio nanao soike iareo. Niongake t’i Mosè le rinomba’e le nampinome’e i lia-rai’iareoy.
The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18 Ie nimpoly mb’an-drae’e Reoele mb’eo le hoe re, Ino ty nampasika ty fimpoli’ areo androany?
And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”
19 Hoe iereo, Nañolots’ anay amo mpiarak’ añondrio ty nte-Mitsraime vaho nitariha’e rano mbore nampinome’e i lia-raikey.
They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”
20 Hoe re amo anak’ ampela’eo, Aia re? Ino ty nienga’ areo indatiy? Ambarao hikama.
But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
21 Niantofa’ i Mosè t’ie holy amy ‘ndatiy vaho natolo’e amy Mosè t’i Tsiporàe anak’ ampela’e ho vali’e.
Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
22 Nahatoly ana-dahy ho aze re vaho natao’e Geresòme, ami’ty hoe, Renetane raho mañialo an-tanen’ ambahiny.
And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”
23 Ie roñoñe añe, nihomake i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey naho nampiselekaiñe o ana’ Israeleo i fandrohizañey, le nirohadrohake vaho nionjoñe mb’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amy fitromahañey ty fitoreo’ iareo.
In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
24 Jinanjin’ Añahare ty toreo’ iareo vaho nitiahin’ Añahare i fañìna’e amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsàke vaho am’ Iakòbey.
And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Nivazohon’ Añahare o ana’ Israeleo vaho nihaoñen’ Andrianañahare.
And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
