Exodus 2
1 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,
Awo olwatuuka omusajja ow’omu kika kya Leevi, n’agenda n’awasa omukazi, nga naye Muleevi.
2 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,
Omukazi oyo n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi; naye bwe yalaba nga mwana alabika obulungi ennyo, n’amukwekera emyezi esatu.
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;
Naye bwe yatuusa ekiseera nga takyasobola kumukweka, n’amufunira ekibaya eky’ebitoogo, n’akisiigako ebitosi ne koolaasi; omwana n’amuteeka omwo, n’akissa mu bitoogo ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira.
4 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.
Mwannyina w’omwana n’ayimiriranga nga yeesuddeko akabanga, alabe ebinaamutuukangako.
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,
Awo muwala wa Falaawo n’aserengeta ku mugga Kiyira okunaaba; abaweereza be abawala ne batambulira ku lubalama lw’omugga; muwala wa Falaawo n’alaba ekibaya mu bitoogo, n’atuma omu ku bawala okukikima, n’akireeta.
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.'
Bwe yakisaanukulako, n’alabamu omwana. Omwana yali akaaba, n’amusaasira nnyo, n’agamba nti, “Ono y’omu ku baana abawere aba Baebbulaniya.”
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;'
Awo mwannyina w’omwana n’asembera, n’agamba muwala wa Falaawo nti, “Ŋŋende nkuyitire omulezi w’abaana Omwebbulaniya ajje akumulerere?”
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Go;' and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,
Muwala wa Falaawo n’amuddamu nti, “Kale, genda.” Omuwala mwannyina w’omwana oyo bwe yagenda, yaleeta nnyina wa mwana!
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.
Muwala wa Falaawo n’agamba nnyina w’omwana nti, “Twala omwana ono omunderere, nnaakusasulanga.” Omukazi oyo n’atwala omwana n’amulera.
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.'
Omwana bwe yakula, n’amutwalira muwala wa Falaawo, n’afuuka omwana wa muwala wa Falaawo. N’amutuuma erinnya Musa, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga namuggya mu mazzi.”
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,
Awo olwatuuka, Musa ng’amaze okukula, n’agendako mu bantu be Abaebbulaniya, n’alaba emirimu emikakanyavu gye baali bakozesebwa. N’alaba Omumisiri ng’akuba Omwebbulaniya, omuntu ow’omu baganda be.
12 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.
Awo Musa n’amagamaga, bwe yalaba nga teri muntu mulala amulaba, n’akwata Omumisiri n’amutta, n’amukweka mu musenyu.
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?'
Bwe yaddayo enkeera, n’alaba abasajja babiri Abaebbulaniya nga balwana. N’abuuza oyo eyali asobezza nti, “Lwaki okuba Mwebbulaniya munno?”
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.'
Omusajja n’amuddamu nti, “Ani eyakulonda okuba omufuzi waffe era omulamuzi waffe? Oyagala kunzita nga bwe watta Omumisiri?” Musa n’atya, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Ekintu kye nakola kirabika kyategeerebwa.”
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.
Awo Falaawo bwe yakiwulira, n’agezaako okutta Musa. Naye Musa n’aviira Falaawo, n’addukira mu nsi ya Midiyaani; n’atuula awali oluzzi.
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,
Waaliwo kabona mu Midiyaani eyalina abaana be abawala musanvu, ne bajja okusena amazzi bajjuze ebyesero banywese endiga za kitaabwe.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.
Kyokka ne wabaawo abasumba ne bajja ne babagobawo; naye Musa n’asituka n’abalwanirira, n’anywesa endiga zaabwe.
18 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, 'Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'
Abawala bwe baddayo eka eri kitaabwe Leweri, n’ababuuza nti, “Nga mukomyewo mangu leero?”
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;'
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Omusajja Omumisiri atulwaniridde ng’abasumba batujoogereza; y’atusenedde n’amazzi n’anywesa ekisibo kyaffe.”
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.'
N’abuuza bawala be nti, “Ali ludda wa? Ye lwaki mumuleseeyo? Mumuyite ajje alye ku mmere.”
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,
Musa n’akkiriza. N’abeerera ddala mu maka ga Leweri. Leweri n’awa Musa muwala we Zipola okuba mukyala we.
22 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, 'A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
Zipola n’amuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi. Musa n’amutuuma erinnya Gerusomu, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga ndi mugwira mu nsi etali yange.”
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;
Awo nga wayiseewo ebbanga ggwanvu, kabaka w’e Misiri n’afa. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basindanga era ne bakaabanga olw’obuddu bwe baalimu, n’okukaaba kwabwe ne kutuuka eri Katonda.
24 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Katonda n’awulira okusinda kwabwe. Katonda n’ajjukira endagaano ye gye yalagaana ne Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.
25 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
Katonda n’atunuulira abaana ba Isirayiri, n’ategeera okubonaabona kwabwe.
