< Exodus 2 >

1 And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters of Levi.
Odšed pak muž jeden z domu Léví, vzal dceru z pokolení Léví.
2 And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
I počala žena ta, a porodila syna; a viduci, že jest krásný, kryla ho za tři měsíce.
3 And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
A když ho nemohla déle tajiti, vzala mu ošitku z sítí, a omazala ji klím a smolou; a vložila do ní to dítě, a vyložila do rákosí u břehu řeky.
4 And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
A postavila sestru jeho zdaleka, aby zvěděla, co se s ním díti bude.
5 And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
A v tom sešla dcera Faraonova, aby se myla v řece; a děvečky její procházely se po břehu řeky. A uzřevši ošitku mezi rákosím, poslala děvečku svou, a vzala ji.
6 And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
A když otevřela, uzřela dítě; a aj, plakalo pacholátko. A slitovavši se nad ním, řekla: Z dětí Hebrejských jest toto.
7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Will you that I call to you a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for you?
I řekla sestra jeho k dceři Faraonově: Mám-li jíti a zavolati tobě chůvy z žen Hebrejských, kteráž by odchovala tobě dítě?
8 And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
Odpověděla dcera Faraonova: Jdi. Tedy šla děvečka a zavolala matky toho dítěte.
9 And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give you the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
I řekla jí dcera Faraonova: Vezmi toto dítě, a odchovej mi je; a jáť dám mzdu tvou. I vzala žena dítě, a chovala je.
10 And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
A když odrostlo pachole, dovedla je k dceři Faraonově, kteráž jej měla za syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Mojžíš, řkuci: Nebo jsem ho z vody vytáhla.
11 And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian striking a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
I stalo se ve dnech těch, když vyrostl Mojžíš, že vyšel k bratřím svým, a hleděl na trápení jejich. Uzřel také muže Egyptského, an tepe muže Hebrejského, jednoho z bratří jeho.
12 And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
A sem i tam se ohlédna, vida, že žádného tu není, zabil Egyptského, a zahrabal jej v písku.
13 And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Therefore smite you your neighbour?
Vyšed potom druhého dne, a aj, dva muži Hebrejští vadili se. I řekl tomu, kterýž křivdu činil: Proč tepeš bližního svého?
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? will you kill me as you yesterday killed the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
Kterýžto odpověděl: Kdo tě ustanovil knížetem a soudcí nad námi? Zdali zabiti mne myslíš, jako jsi zabil Egyptského? Protož ulekl se Mojžíš a řekl: Jistě známá jest ta věc.
15 And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to kill Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and lived in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
A uslyšav Farao tu věc, hledal zabiti Mojžíše. Ale Mojžíš utekl od tváři Faraonovy, a bydlil v zemi Madianské; i usadil se podlé studnice.
16 And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
Kníže pak Madianské mělo sedm dcer. Kteréžto přišedše, vážily vodu, a nalívaly do koryt, aby napájely dobytek otce svého.
17 And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
I přišli pastýři, a odehnali je. Tedy Mojžíš vstav, pomohl jim a napojil dobytek jejich.
18 And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
A když se navrátily k Raguelovi, otci svému, řekl on: Jakž jste to dnes tak brzo přišly?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
Odpověděly: Muž Egyptský vysvobodil nás z ruky pastýřů; ano také ochotně navážil nám vody, a napojil dobytek.
20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have you left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
I řekl dcerám svým: Kdež pak jest? Pročež jste pustily muže toho? Povolejte ho, ať pojí chleba.
21 And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
A svolil Mojžíš k tomu, aby bydlil s mužem tím. Kterýžto dal Zeforu, dceru svou, Mojžíšovi.
22 And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
I porodila syna, a nazval jméno jeho Gerson; nebo řekl: Příchozí jsem byl v zemi cizí.
23 And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
Stalo se pak po mnohých časích, že umřel král Egyptský; a synové Izraelští úpěli pro roboty, a křičeli. I vstoupil k Bohu křik jejich pro roboty.
24 And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
A uslyšel Bůh naříkání jejich, a rozpomenul se Bůh na smlouvu svou s Abrahamem, Izákem a Jákobem.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
I vzhlédl Bůh na syny Izraelské, a poznal Bůh.
