< Исход 2 >

1 Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
2 и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she 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:
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.
4 и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
5 Сниде же дщерь фараонова измытися на реку, и рабыни ея прохождаху при реце. И видевши ковчежец в лучице, пославши рабыню, взя и.
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the box among the rushes, and sent her handmaid to get it.
6 Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
7 И рече сестра его дщери фараонове: хощеши ли, призову ти жену кормилицу от Еврей, и воздоит ти отроча?
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?"
8 И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's 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.
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.
10 Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
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."
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.
It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
12 Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
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.
13 Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
He went out the second day, and look, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"
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?
He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is 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.
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.
16 Священнику же Мадиамскому беша седмь дщерей, пасущих овцы отца своего Иофора: пришедшя же черпаху, дондеже наполниша корыта, напоити овцы отца своего Иофора.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Пришедше же пастырие изгнаша я. Востав же Моисей избави их, и налия им и напои овцы их.
The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
18 Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
19 Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
20 Он же рече дщерем своим: и где есть? И вскую сице остависте человека? Призовите убо его, да яст хлеб.
He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
21 Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
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.
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
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.
It happened in the course of those many days, that 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.
24 И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
