Exodus 2
1 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa nyũmba ya Lawi nĩahikirie mũtumia wa mũhĩrĩga wa Alawii,
2 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,
nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara kahĩĩ. Rĩrĩa onire kaarĩ kaana gathaka-rĩ, agĩkahitha nyũmba mĩeri ĩtatũ.
3 and she hath not been able any more to hide him, and she taketh for him an ark of rushes, and daubeth it with bitumen and with pitch, and putteth the lad in it, and putteth [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;
No rĩrĩa aaremirwo nĩgũkahitha rĩngĩ-rĩ, agĩgathondekera gĩkabũ gĩa ithanjĩ na agĩgĩthinga na rami. Agĩcooka agĩkomia kaana kau thĩinĩ wakĩo, agĩkahitha mathanjĩ-inĩ kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Nili.
4 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.
Mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau aarũgamaga haraaya nĩguo one ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgakora.
5 And a daughter of Pharaoh cometh down to bathe at the River, and her damsels are walking by the side of the River, and she seeth the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sendeth her handmaid, and she taketh it,
Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩ wa Firaũni agĩikũrũka Nili nĩguo agethambe, nacio ndungata ciake ciaceerangaga kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ rũu. Nake akĩona gĩkabũ kĩu kũu ithanjĩ-inĩ, na agĩtũma ngombo yake ya mũirĩtu ĩkĩgĩĩre.
6 and openeth, and seeth him — the lad, and lo, a child weeping! and she hath pity on him, and saith, 'This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.'
Agĩkunũra gĩkabũ kĩu na akĩona kaana kau. Agĩkaiguĩra tha tondũ nĩkarĩraga. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gaka nĩ kaana kamwe ga twana twa Ahibirania.”
7 And his sister saith unto the daughter of Pharaoh, 'Do I go? when I have called for thee a suckling woman of the Hebrews, then she doth suckle the lad for thee;'
Nake mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau akĩũria mwarĩ wa Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ngacarie mũtumia ũmwe Mũhibirania akũrerere kaana gaka?”
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Go;' and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, thiĩ.” Nake mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ, akĩgĩĩra nyina wa kaana kau.
9 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Take this lad away, and suckle him for me, and I — I give thy hire;' and the woman taketh the lad, and suckleth him.
Mwarĩ wa Firaũni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya kaana gaka ũkanderere, nĩndĩrĩkũrĩhaga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtumia ũcio akĩoya kaana kau agĩkarera.
10 And the lad groweth, and she bringeth him in to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calleth his name Moses, and saith, 'Because — from the water I have drawn him.'
Rĩrĩa kaana kau gaakũrire-rĩ, agĩgatwarĩra mwarĩ wa Firaũni nako gagĩtuĩka ta mũriũ. Agĩgeeta Musa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ ndakarutire maaĩ-inĩ.”
11 And it cometh to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goeth out unto his brethren, and looketh on their burdens, and seeth a man, an Egyptian, smiting a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brethren,
Thuutha wa Musa gũtuĩka mũndũ mũgima-rĩ, mũthenya ũmwe nĩathiire gũceera harĩa andũ ao maarĩ, nake akĩmabaara makĩrutithio wĩra na hinya. Ningĩ akĩona Mũmisiri akĩhũũra Mũhibirania, ũmwe wa andũ ake mwene.
12 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.
Nake acũthĩrĩria mĩena yothe na ndone mũndũ-rĩ, akĩũraga Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũthika mũthanga-inĩ.
13 And he goeth out on the second day, and lo, two men, Hebrews, striving! and he saith to the wrong-doer, 'Why dost thou smite thy neighbour?'
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ akiumagara na akĩona Ahibirania eerĩ makĩrũa. Akĩũria ũrĩa wogitanĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũraringa Mũhibirania wanyu nĩkĩ?”
14 and he saith, 'Who set thee for a head and a judge over us? to slay me art thou saying [it], as thou hast slain the Egyptian?' and Moses feareth, and saith, 'Surely the thing hath been known.'
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wagũtuire mwathi na mũtuithania wa maciira maitũ? Anga nĩũreciiria kũnjũraga o ta ũrĩa ũrooragire Mũmisiri?” Nake Musa agĩĩtigĩra na agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ndĩrekire no nginya ũkorwo nĩũmenyekete.”
15 And Pharaoh heareth of this thing, and seeketh to slay Moses, and Moses fleeth from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelleth in the land of Midian, and dwelleth by the well.
Rĩrĩa Firaũni aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akĩgeria kũũragithia Musa, nowe Musa akĩũrĩra Firaũni agĩthiĩ gũtũũra Midiani, kũrĩa aikarire thĩ hakuhĩ na gĩthima.
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,
Na rĩrĩ, Jethero mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Midiani aarĩ na airĩtu ake mũgwanja, nao magĩũka gũtaha maaĩ na kũiyũria mĩharatĩ manyuithie rũũru rwa mbũri rwa ithe wao.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.
Arĩithi amwe nĩmookire na makĩingata airĩtu acio, no Musa agĩũkĩra, akĩmateithũra na akĩhe ũhiũ wao maaĩ.
18 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, 'Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'
Rĩrĩa airĩtu acio maainũkire kũrĩ ithe wao Reueli-rĩ, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũcooke narua ũguo ũmũthĩ?”
19 and they say, 'A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for us, and watereth the flock;'
Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũmisiri ũmwe nĩatũteithũrire kũrĩ arĩithi; o na nĩwe ũtũtahĩire maaĩ na atũheera mbũri ciitũ maaĩ.”
20 and he saith unto his daughters, 'And where [is] he? why [is] this? — ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.'
Jethero akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na akĩrĩ kũ?” “Mũmũtigire nĩkĩ? Thiĩi mũmwĩte, oke arĩĩanĩre na ithuĩ.”
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,
Nake Musa agĩĩtĩkĩra gũikara kwa mũndũ ũcio, nake akĩmũhe mwarĩ wetagwo Zipora amũhikie.
22 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, 'A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
Zipora agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, nake Musa agĩgeeta Gerishomu, tondũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Nduĩkĩte mũgeni bũrũri wene.”
23 And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of the service;
Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya-rĩ, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩakuire. Andũ a Isiraeli magĩcaaya nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo, na makĩrĩrĩra Ngai; nakĩo kĩrĩro kĩao atĩ mateithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo gĩgĩkinyĩra Ngai.
24 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Nake Ngai akĩigua gũcaaya kwao nake akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu.
25 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩona gũtangĩka kwa andũ a Isiraeli, nake akĩrũmbũiya ũhoro wao.
