Исход 2
1 Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.
2 и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.
3 и понеже не можаху его ктому крыти, взя ему мати его ковчежец ситовый и помаза и клеем и смолою, и вложи отроча в него, и положи его в лучице при реце:
And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river’s brink,
4 и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
5 Сниде же дщерь фараонова измытися на реку, и рабыни ея прохождаху при реце. И видевши ковчежец в лучице, пославши рабыню, взя и.
And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,
6 Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
7 И рече сестра его дщери фараонове: хощеши ли, призову ти жену кормилицу от Еврей, и воздоит ти отроча?
And the child’s sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
8 И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.
9 Рече же к ней дщерь фараонова: соблюди ми отроча сие и воздой ми е: аз же дам ти мзду. Взя же отроча жена и дояше е.
And Pharao’s daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter.
10 Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.
11 Бысть же во дни многия оны, велик быв Моисей, изыде к братиям своим, сыном Израилевым. Разумев же болезнь их, виде человека Египтянина биюща некоего Евреанина от братии его сынов Израилевых.
In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.
12 Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
14 Он же рече: кто тя постави князя и судию над нами? Еда убити мя ты хощеши, имже образом убил еси вчера Египтянина? Убояся же Моисей и рече: аще сице явлен бысть глагол сей?
But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known?
15 Услыша же фараон глагол сей и искаше убити Моисеа. Отиде же Моисей от лица фараонова и вселися в земли Мадиамстей: пришед же в землю Мадиамскую седе при кладязе.
And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.
16 Священнику же Мадиамскому беша седмь дщерей, пасущих овцы отца своего Иофора: пришедшя же черпаху, дондеже наполниша корыта, напоити овцы отца своего Иофора.
And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father’s flocks.
17 Пришедше же пастырие изгнаша я. Востав же Моисей избави их, и налия им и напои овцы их.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.
18 Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
19 Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
20 Он же рече дщерем своим: и где есть? И вскую сице остависте человека? Призовите убо его, да яст хлеб.
But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
21 Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
22 Во чреве же заченши жена роди сына, и нарече Моисей имя ему Гирсам, глаголя: яко пришлец есмь в земли чуждей. Еще же заченши роди сына втораго, и нарече имя ему Елиезер, глаголя: Бог бо отца моего помощник мой и избави мя из руки фараоновы.
And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
23 По днех же многих тех, умре царь Египетский, и возстенаша сынове Израилевы от дел и возопиша, и взыде вопль их к Богу от дел.
Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.
24 И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
