Eksodosy 2
1 Ie amy zao, nañenga ty anak’ ampela’ i Levy t’indaty boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Levy.
Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a woman of Levi.
2 Niareñe i rakembay, nitoly ana-dahy, le nioni’e te soa i ajajamenay vaho naeta’e telo volañe.
The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy boy, she hid him for three months.
3 Aa ie tsy nahafañetak’ aze ka, le nangala’e vakoa-vinda naho nipakora’e mozòtse naho lite-laka vaho najo’e ao i anak’ ajajay vaho natsorofo’e am-binda añolon-drano ey.
But when she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. Then she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds in the water along the side of the river.
4 Nijohañe ey ty zoke’e ampela nisamba ze hanoañe aze.
His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
5 Nizotso mb’an-tsaka mb’eo amy zao ty anak’ ampela’ i Parò hiandro, le nijelanjelañe añ’olotse ey o somondrara’eo. Aa naho nitrea’e añate-vinda ao i vakoay le nirahe’e hangalak’ aze ty mpitoro’e ampela,
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river while her attendants walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her attendant to get it.
6 vaho sinoka’e le nahaisake i anak’ ajajay. Nitañy i ajajamenay vaho niferenaiña’e, ami’ty hoe: Toe anan-te-Evre toke.
When she opened it, she saw the child. Behold, the baby was crying. She had compassion on him and said, “This is certainly one of the Hebrews' children.”
7 Le hoe i rahavave’ey amy ana’ i Paròy, Akore t’ie añitrifako mpampinono amo rakemba nte-Evreo hampinono i ajajay?
Then the baby's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Should I go and find you a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for you?”
8 Akia, hoe i anak’ ampela’ i Paròy; aa le nimb’eo i ajajampelay nitoka ty rene’ i ajajay.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the young girl went and got the child's mother.
9 Hoe i ana’ i Paròy ama’e, Endeso ty ajaja toy le ampinonò ho ahiko vaho ho tambezeko irehe. Aa le nendese’ i rakembay i anak’ ajajay vaho nampinonoe’e.
Pharaoh's daughter said to the baby's mother, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay you wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10 itombo i ajajay le nendese’e mb’amy anak’ampela’ i Paròy añe vaho rinambe’e ho ana-dahi’e. Natao’e Mosè ty añara’e amy ty hoe, Tinariko boak’an-drano.
When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and said, “Because I drew him from the water.”
11 Ie te indraik’ andro naho fa niañoñ’ ay t’i Mosè, le niakatse mb’ am’ ondati’eo nahaoniñe ty nijinia’iareo naho nioni’e ty nte-Mitsraime namofoke ty nte-Evre, raik’ amo longo’eo.
When Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and observed their hard work. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 Nijilojilo mb’ etia mb’ eroy, aa ie tsy nahatrea ondaty, le nañohofa’e loza i nte-Mitsraimey vaho naeta’e am-paseñe ao.
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one there, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
13 Ie niakatse mb’eo naho loak’ andro le nanjo ty nte-Evre roe nifandrapake ty aly, le hoe re ami’ty aman-kakeo, Ino ty andafà’o o longo’oo?
He went out the next day, and, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting. He said to the one who was in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your companion?”
14 Le hoe re. Ia ty nañoriñ’ azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Hañe-doza amako ka hao irehe manahake i namonoa’o i nte-Mitsraimeiy? Nihembañ’ amy zao t’i Mosè nitsakore ty hoe, Toe nirendreke i rahay.
But the man said, “Who made you a leader and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed that Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid and said, “What I did has certainly become known to others.”
15 Jinanji’ i Parò, le nipay ty hañe-doza amy Mosè. Le nibioñe ami’ty tarehe’ i Parò t’i Mosè, noly mb’an-tane Midiane añe vaho niambesatse am-bovoñe eo.
Now when Pharaoh heard about it, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. There he sat down by a well.
16 Aman-anak’ ampela fito ty mpisoro’ i Midiane. Nimb’ eo iereo nitari-drano nañatsake o dabaogao hampinomeñe ty lia-rain-drae’e.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came, drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Pok’eo amy zao o mpiarak’ añondrio nanao soike iareo. Niongake t’i Mosè le rinomba’e le nampinome’e i lia-rai’iareoy.
The shepherds came and tried to drive them away, but Moses went and helped them. Then he watered their flock.
18 Ie nimpoly mb’an-drae’e Reoele mb’eo le hoe re, Ino ty nampasika ty fimpoli’ areo androany?
When the girls went to Reuel their father, he said, “Why are you home so early today?”
19 Hoe iereo, Nañolots’ anay amo mpiarak’ añondrio ty nte-Mitsraime vaho nitariha’e rano mbore nampinome’e i lia-raikey.
They said, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 Hoe re amo anak’ ampela’eo, Aia re? Ino ty nienga’ areo indatiy? Ambarao hikama.
He said to his daughters, “So where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him so he can eat a meal with us.”
21 Niantofa’ i Mosè t’ie holy amy ‘ndatiy vaho natolo’e amy Mosè t’i Tsiporàe anak’ ampela’e ho vali’e.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who also gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage.
22 Nahatoly ana-dahy ho aze re vaho natao’e Geresòme, ami’ty hoe, Renetane iraho mañialo an-tanen’ ambahiny.
She bore a son, and Moses called his name Gershom; he said, “I have been a resident in a foreign land.”
23 Ie roñoñe añe, nihomake i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey naho nampiselekaiñe o ana’ Israeleo i fandrohizañey, le nirohadrohake vaho nionjoñe mb’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amy fitromahañey ty fitoreo’ iareo.
A long time later, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out for help, and their pleas went up to God because of their bondage.
24 Jinanjin’ Añahare ty toreo’ iareo vaho nitiahin’ Añahare i fañìna’e amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsàke vaho am’ Iakòbey.
When God heard their groaning, God called to mind his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Nivazohon’ Añahare o ana’ Israeleo vaho nihaoñen’ Andrianañahare.
God saw the Israelites, and he understood their situation.
