< Exodus 2 >

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
Ja-Lawi moro nokendo nyar ja-dhoodgi,
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
mi nomako ich monywolo nyathi ma wuowi. Ka noneno ni en nyathi ma jaber, nopande kuom dweche adek.
3 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.
To ka koro ne ok onyal medo pande, nokawo osera mochwe gi togo momuono gi lowo kod odok. Bangʼe noketo nyathino ei oserano kendo noketo oserano ei odundu e tiend aora Nael.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
Nyamin nyathino nochungʼ gichien mondo one ane gima biro timore ni nyathino.
5 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.
Eka nyar Farao nodhi e aora Nael mondo olwokre, ka jotichne to ne wuotho e geng aora. Nyar Farao noneno oserano ka ni e kind odundu, mine ooro jatichne ma nyako mondo ogeme.
6 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.'
Ne oele mi oyudo nyathi. Nyathino ne ywak, kendo nokeche mowacho niya, “Ma en achiel kuom nyithind jo-Hibrania.”
7 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?'
Eka nyamin nyathino nopenjo nyar Farao niya, “Bende anyalo dhi mondo aluongni achiel kuom mond jo-Hibrania mondo opirni nyathini.”
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
Nyar farao nodwoke niya, “Ee, dhiyo.” Kuom mano nyakono nodhi mokelo mana min nyathino.
9 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.
Nyar Farao nowachone niya, “Kaw nyathini mondo ipidhna bangʼe abiro chuli.” Omiyo dhakono nokawo nyathino kendo norite.
10 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.'
Ka nyathino nosedongo mobedo maduongʼ nokawe motere ne nyar Farao kendo nyathino nodoko wuod nyar Farao. Nochake ni Musa kowacho niya, “Ne agole e pi.”
11 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.
Kane Musa osedoko ngʼat maduongʼ, chiengʼ moro nodhi ir owetene ma jo-Israel kendo noneno kaka negitiyo tich matek. Noneno achiel kuom jo-Hibrania wetene, ka igoyo kod ja-Misri.
12 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.
Nogoyo machiemo koni gi koni, kendo kane ok oneno ngʼato, nonego ja-Misrino mi oike ei kuoyo.
13 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?'
Kinyne nodok mi oneno jo-Hibrania ariyo ka dhawo. Nopenjo ngʼat ma nokwinyo nyawadgino niya, “Marangʼo igoyo ja-Hibrania wadu?”
14 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.'
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura? Iparo mar nega kaka nyoro inego ja-Misri cha?” Ka Musa nowinjo kamano, kibaji nogoye mobedo maluor koparo niya, “Gima nyoro atimo nyaka bed ni osengʼere.”
15 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.
Kane Farao owinjo wachno notemo mondo oneg Musa, kata kamano Musa noringo modhi odak e piny Midian, mi obet e bath soko moro.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Jadolo moro mar jo-Midian ne nigi nyiri abiriyo, negibiro tuomo pi ka giolo e karaya mondo jamb wuon-gi omodhi.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Jokwath moko nobiro mondo oriembgi, to Musa noa malo moresogi kendo nomiyo jambgi pi omodho.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?'
Bangʼe kane nyirigo odok ir Reuel wuon-gi, nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo udwogo chon kawuono?”
19 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.'
Negidwoke niya, “Ja-Misri moro noresowa e lwet jokwath, mi otuomonwa pi kendo omiyo jamni pi omodho.”
20 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.'
Reuel nopenjo nyige niya, “En kanye? Marangʼo uweye? Luongeuru mondo oyud gimoro ocham.”
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Musa noyie mondo odag gi ngʼatno, mi Reuel nomiye nyare miluongo ni Zipora mondo obed chiege.
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.'
Zipora nonywolo wuowi mi Musa nochako nyinge ni Gershom, kowacho niya, “Asedoko jadak e piny ma ok marwa.”
23 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.
E kinde mane Musa pod odak Midian, Farao ruodh Misri notho. Jo-Israel ne ngʼur ahinya kuom tichgi mar wasumbini mi giywak malit, kendo ywakgi mondo oresgi e tich mar bedo misumba nochopo ir Nyasaye.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Nyasaye nowinjo ngʼurgi mi oparo singruokne gi Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.
25 And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
Kuom mano Nyasaye noneno kaka jo-Israel thagore mi wachno ne odonjo e chunye.
