Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Levi a te marye ak yon fi nan menm branch fanmi an.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Lè li wè jan ti pitit la te bèl, li kache l' pandan twa mwa.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she tooke for him an arke made of reede, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laide the childe therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the riuers brinke.
Men, li pa t' kapab kache l' pi lontan pase sa. Se konsa, li pran yon panyen jon, li badijonnen l' byen badijonnen ak goudwon ansanm ak gonm bwapen. Li mete ti pitit la ladan l'. Lèfini, li mete panyen an ak tout pitit la ladan l' nan mitan yon touf wozo, sou bò gwo larivyè a.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Sè ti pitit la menm te rete kanpe yon ti distans pou l' wè sak tapral rive pitit la.
5 Then ye daughter of Pharaoh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her maidens walked by the riuers side: and when shee sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent her maide to fet it.
Pitit fi farawon an desann bò gwo larivyè a pou l' al benyen. Medam ki te avè l' yo t'ap mache bò larivyè a. Fi farawon an wè panyen an nan mitan touf wozo yo. Li voye sèvant li a al pran l'.
6 Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe: and beholde, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and sayde, This is one of the Ebrewes children.
Li louvri panyen an, li wè ti pitit la: se te yon ti gason ki t'ap kriye. Kè l' fè l' mal pou li. Li di: -Se yonn nan timoun ebre yo.
7 Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and cal vnto thee a nurce of the Ebrew women to nurce thee the childe?
Lè sa a, sè ti gason an pwoche, li di pitit fi farawon an: -Eske ou vle m al chache yon nouris pou ou nan mitan medam ebre yo pou bay ti pitit la tete pou ou?
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Fi Farawon an di li: -Ale non. Ti fi a al chache manman ti pitit la.
9 To whome Pharaohs daughter sayde, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil reward thee. Then the woman tooke the childe and nurced him.
Fi farawon an di manman an konsa: -Pran ti pitit sa a, mete l' nan tete pou mwen. m'a peye ou pou sa. Madanm lan pran ti pitit la, li ba l' tete.
10 Nowe the childe grewe, and she brought him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drewe him out of the water.
Lè ti gason an vin gran ti bway, li mennen l' bay fi farawon an ki adopte l' pou pitit li. Lè sa a, fi farawon an di: -Se nan dlo mwen wete l'. Se konsa, li rele l' Moyiz.
11 And in those dayes, when Moses was growen, he went forth vnto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he sawe an Egyptian smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren.
Lè sa a, Moyiz te fin grandi. Yon jou, li soti pou l' al vizite moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li yo. Li wè jan yo t'ap fè yo travay di. Li wè yon moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap bimen yon ebre anba kou, yonn nan moun parèy li yo.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Li voye je l' adwat, li voye je l' agoch, li pa wè pesonn. Li touye moun pèyi Lejip la, li fouye yon twou nan sab la, li kache kadav la.
13 Againe he came forth the second day, and behold, two Ebrewes stroue: and he said vnto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowe?
Nan denmen, li soti ankò, li wè de ebre ki t'ap goumen. Li di sa ki te antò a: -Poukisa w'ap maltrete moun menm ras ak ou konsa?
14 And hee answered, Who made thee a man of authoritie, and a iudge ouer vs? Thinkest thou to kill mee, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and sayde, Certainly this thing is knowen.
Men, nonm lan reponn li: -Kilès ki mete ou chèf pou kòmande nou? Gen lè ou vle touye m' menm jan ou te touye moun peyi Lejip la? Moyiz vin pè, li di nan kè l': -Aa! Gen moun ki konnen sa m' te fè a!
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the lande of Midian, and hee sate downe by a well.
Farawon an pran nouvèl sak te pase. Li t'ap chache Moyiz pou touye l'. Men Moyiz chape kò l' anba men l', l' al rete nan peyi Madyan. Rive la, li chita bò yon pi.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Prèt peyi Madyan an te gen sèt pitit fi. Yo te vin tire dlo pou plen ganmèl yo pou bay mouton papa yo bwè.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Men, kèk lòt gadò mouton vin rive, yo kouri dèyè medam yo. Moyiz leve, li pran defans yo, epi li bay mouton medam yo bwè.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Lè medam yo tounen lakay Reouyèl, papa yo, li mande yo: -Ki jan nou fè tounen vit konsa jòdi a?
19 And they saide, A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the hand of the shepherdes, and also drew vs water ynough, and watered the sheepe.
Yo reponn li: -Se yon moun peyi Lejip ki te delivre nou anba men gadò mouton yo. Apre sa, se li menm ankò ki tire dlo pou nou bay bèt yo bwè.
20 Then he saide vnto his daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man? call him that he may eate bread.
Reouyèl mande pitit fi li yo: -Kote msye? Poukisa nou kite l' laba a? Al rele l' pou l' vin pran kichòy ak nou.
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Moyiz te dakò pou l' te rete lakay nonm sa a. Reouyèl bay Moyiz Sefora, yonn nan pitit fi li yo, pou madanm.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Sefora fè yon ti gason. Lè sa a, Moyiz di: -Se moun vini mwen ye nan yon peyi etranje. Se konsa, li te rele pitit la Gèchon.
23 Then in processe of time, the King of Egypt dyed, and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cryed: and their crie for the bondage came vp vnto God.
Lontan apre sa, wa Lejip la mouri. Pèp Izrayèl la t'ap plenn pi rèd anba esklavaj. Yo t'ap rele gras mizèrikòd. Bondye te tande jan yo t'ap rele, jan yo t'ap plenn anba esklavaj la.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Bondye tande rèl yo, li vin chonje kontra li te pase ak Abraram ak Izarak epi ak Jakòb.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Bondye te wè nan ki sitiyasyon moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye, li pran kòz yo nan men l'.
