Eksodosy 2
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin’ ny mpianakavin’ i Levy lasa naka vady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Levy.
After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.
2 Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.
And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.
3 Ary rehefa tsy azony nafenina intsony izy, dia nangalany fiara zozoro, ka nopetahany asfalta sy dity ny fiara, dia napetrany tao ny zaza; ary napetrany tao anaty zozoro teo amoron’ i Neily ny fiara.
And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.
4 Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.
His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.
5 Ary nidina ny zanakavavin’ i Farao mba handro tao Neily; ary ny ankizivaviny nitsangatsangana teny amoron’ i Neily; ary raha nahita ny fiara teo anaty zozoro ny zanakavavin’ i Farao, dia naniraka ny mpanompovaviny iray izy ka nampaka azy.
Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,
6 Ary nony nosokafany, dia hitany ny zazakely; ary indro fa zazalahy mitomany. Dia namindra fo taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Isan’ ny zanaky ny Hebreo ity.
she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”
7 Dia hoy kosa ny anabaviny tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao: Handeha haka mpitaiza amin’ ny vehivavy Hebreo va aho hankatỳ aminao mba hitaiza ny zaza ho anao?
And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”
8 Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin’ ny zaza.
She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.
9 Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Ento ity zaza ity, ka tezao ho ahy, fa izaho handoa ny karamanao. Dia nentin-dravehivavy ny zaza ka notezainy.
And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.
10 Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia nentiny tao amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao izy, ka dia tonga zanany. Ary ny anarany nataony hoe Mosesy; fa hoy izy: Satria tamin’ ny rano no nangalako azy.
And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from the water.”
11 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, rehefa lehibe Mosesy, dia nivoaka nankany amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nijery ny fanompoany mafy, ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana nanavokavoka ny anankiray tamin’ ny Hebreo rahalahiny.
In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.
12 Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin’ ny fasika ny faty.
And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Ary nony ampitson’ iny, dia nivoaka indray izy, ary, indreo, nisy Hebreo roa lahy niady; dia hoy izy tamin’ ilay diso: Nahoana no mamono ny namanao ianao?
And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
14 Fa hoy izy: Iza no nanendry an’ ialahy ho mpanapaka sy mpitsara anay? Moa mikasa hamono ahy koa va ialahy, tahaka ny namonoan’ ialahy ilay Egyptiana? Dia raiki-tahotra Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Hay! fantatr’ olona izany!
But he responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become known?”
15 Ary rehefa ren’ i Farao izany zavatra izany, dia nitady hamono an’ i Mosesy izy. Fa Mosesy nandositra ny tavan’ i Farao ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Midiana; ny nipetraka teo anilan’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy.
And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
16 Ary ny mpisorona tao Midiana nanana zanaka fito mirahavavy; ary avy izy ireo, dia nanovo rano ka nameno ny tavin-drano hampisotroany ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy.
Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.
17 Ary avy kosa ny lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nandroaka azy; fa Mosesy nitsangana ka namonjy azy, dia nampisotro rano ny ondry aman’ osiny.
The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin-dRegoela rainy izy, dia hoy izy: Nahoana no dia nalaky tonga toy izany ianareo androany?
And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”
19 Ary hoy izy ireo: Nisy lehilahy Egyptiana anankiray namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpiandry ondry sady nanovo rano ho anay, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman’ osy.
They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”
20 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zananivavy: Ka aiza izy? Nahoana no nilaozanareo izany lehilahy izany? Alao izy mba hihinan-kanina.
But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
21 Ary sitrak’ i Mosesy ny hitoetra tao amin-dralehilahy. Ary Zipora zananivavy dia nomeny ho vadin’ i Mosesy.
Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
22 Dia niteraka zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany nataon-drainy hoe Gersoma; fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin’ ny tanin’ ny firenena hafa aho.
And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”
23 Ary tao anatin’ izany andro maro izany dia maty ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nisento noho ny fanompoany ka nitaraina; ary niakatra tany amin’ Andriamanitra ny fitarainany noho ny fanompoany.
In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
24 Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
