Exodus 2
1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Seorang laki-laki dari keluarga Lewi kawin dengan seorang perempuan Lewi;
2 The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
lalu mengandunglah ia dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ketika dilihatnya, bahwa anak itu cantik, disembunyikannya tiga bulan lamanya.
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
Tetapi ia tidak dapat menyembunyikannya lebih lama lagi, sebab itu diambilnya sebuah peti pandan, dipakalnya dengan gala-gala dan ter, diletakkannya bayi itu di dalamnya dan ditaruhnya peti itu di tengah-tengah teberau di tepi sungai Nil;
4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
kakaknya perempuan berdiri di tempat yang agak jauh untuk melihat, apakah yang akan terjadi dengan dia.
5 Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.
Maka datanglah puteri Firaun untuk mandi di sungai Nil, sedang dayang-dayangnya berjalan-jalan di tepi sungai Nil, lalu terlihatlah olehnya peti yang di tengah-tengah teberau itu, maka disuruhnya hambanya perempuan untuk mengambilnya.
6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Ketika dibukanya, dilihatnya bayi itu, dan tampaklah anak itu menangis, sehingga belas kasihanlah ia kepadanya dan berkata: "Tentulah ini bayi orang Ibrani."
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
Lalu bertanyalah kakak anak itu kepada puteri Firaun: "Akan kupanggilkah bagi tuan puteri seorang inang penyusu dari perempuan Ibrani untuk menyusukan bayi itu bagi tuan puteri?"
8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.
Sahut puteri Firaun kepadanya: "Baiklah." Lalu pergilah gadis itu memanggil ibu bayi itu.
9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.
Maka berkatalah puteri Firaun kepada ibu itu: "Bawalah bayi ini dan susukanlah dia bagiku, maka aku akan memberi upah kepadamu." Kemudian perempuan itu mengambil bayi itu dan menyusuinya.
10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Ketika anak itu telah besar, dibawanyalah kepada puteri Firaun, yang mengangkatnya menjadi anaknya, dan menamainya Musa, sebab katanya: "Karena aku telah menariknya dari air."
11 In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
Pada waktu itu, ketika Musa telah dewasa, ia keluar mendapatkan saudara-saudaranya untuk melihat kerja paksa mereka; lalu dilihatnyalah seorang Mesir memukul seorang Ibrani, seorang dari saudara-saudaranya itu.
12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Ia menoleh ke sana sini dan ketika dilihatnya tidak ada orang, dibunuhnya orang Mesir itu, dan disembunyikannya mayatnya dalam pasir.
13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”
Ketika keesokan harinya ia keluar lagi, didapatinya dua orang Ibrani tengah berkelahi. Ia bertanya kepada yang bersalah itu: "Mengapa engkau pukul temanmu?"
14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”
Tetapi jawabnya: "Siapakah yang mengangkat engkau menjadi pemimpin dan hakim atas kami? Apakah engkau bermaksud membunuh aku, sama seperti engkau telah membunuh orang Mesir itu?" Musa menjadi takut, sebab pikirnya: "Tentulah perkara itu telah ketahuan."
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
Ketika Firaun mendengar tentang perkara itu, dicarinya ikhtiar untuk membunuh Musa. Tetapi Musa melarikan diri dari hadapan Firaun dan tiba di tanah Midian, lalu ia duduk-duduk di tepi sebuah sumur.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Adapun imam di Midian itu mempunyai tujuh anak perempuan. Mereka datang menimba air dan mengisi palungan-palungan untuk memberi minum kambing domba ayahnya.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Maka datanglah gembala-gembala yang mengusir mereka, lalu Musa bangkit menolong mereka dan memberi minum kambing domba mereka.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
Ketika mereka sampai kepada Rehuel, ayah mereka, berkatalah ia: "Mengapa selekas itu kamu pulang hari ini?"
19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”
Jawab mereka: "Seorang Mesir menolong kami terhadap gembala-gembala, bahkan ia menimba air banyak-banyak untuk kami dan memberi minum kambing domba."
20 He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Di manakah ia? Mengapakah kamu tinggalkan orang itu? Panggillah dia makan."
21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
Musa bersedia tinggal di rumah itu, lalu diberikan Rehuellah Zipora, anaknya, kepada Musa.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Perempuan itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka Musa menamainya Gersom, sebab katanya: "Aku telah menjadi seorang pendatang di negeri asing."
23 In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
Lama sesudah itu matilah raja Mesir. Tetapi orang Israel masih mengeluh karena perbudakan, dan mereka berseru-seru, sehingga teriak mereka minta tolong karena perbudakan itu sampai kepada Allah.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Allah mendengar mereka mengerang, lalu Ia mengingat kepada perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.
Maka Allah melihat orang Israel itu, dan Allah memperhatikan mereka.
