< Potdohbu 2 >

1 Hiche phatlai hin, Levi insung'a kon pasal khat leh Levi insungmi numei khat ma aki cheng lhon tan ahi.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Numeinu chu ahung gaijin chapa khat ahing tai. Amanun achapa chu aven ahile lunglhai umtah naosen ahin, lhathum sung'in asel tan ahi.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 Ahivang'in amanun achapa chu asel joulou phat in, sinkhup Pyparus naang'a kisa khat agalan twilut na lou ding'in avonglai jouse ahubit sohkeiye. Chuin sinkhup sung'a naocha chu akhum'in Nile Vadung pang phaipheng lah achun alha lut tai.
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a box of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it amidst the flags by the brink of the river.
4 Chuin naosen unu jong gamlha thim'a kon'in ading'in naosen chu i-atidem tin agalvet in ahi.
And his sister placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would be done to him.
5 Chu jouvin Pharaoh chanu vadung'a kisil ding'in ahung suh tan, asot tolle hojong vadung pang achun avah le uvin ahi. Chuin amanun phaipheng phung lah a sinkhup chu ahin mudoh tan, aga la din asoh nu chu asol tan ahi.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the side of the river; and when she saw the box among the flags, she sent her maid and fetched it.
6 Lengpa chanun jong sinkhup chu ahongdoh in ahile, naocha chu amu in ahi. Chu-in naocha chu akap'in, amanun jong naocha chu avoujang natpi lheh in, “Hiche hi Hebrew mite cha khat hitei ding ahi,” ati.
And she opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, it was a weeping boy; and she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Hichun naosen sopinun jong Lengpa chanu heng ahin naijin. “Keima kache a Hebrew numei khat naosen don ding kagahol peh ding ham?” tin adong'e.
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse for thee the child?
8 Lengpa chanu in jong, “Henge, gapui jin!” tin adonbut in, numeinu jong ache-in naosen hingnu mama chu aga puiye.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go; and the maiden went and called the mother of the child.
9 Chuin lengpa chanu'n jong naosen hingnu jah'a aseijin. “Naosen hi lanlang neidon peh'in, Keiman na don man ka peh ding nahi,” ati. Chuin numeinu in jong naosen chu a-inlam'a adom'in amapa chu adon tan ahi.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take away this child, and nurse him for me, and I will give thee thy wages; and the woman took the child, and nursed him.
10 Khonung'in, chapang pa jong akhang len tan ahile, anu in amapa chu Pharaoh chanu henga ahung thah tan, amapa chu lengpa chanu chapa in ahung pang tai. Lengpa chanu in amapa chu amin Mose asah tai, ajeh chu amanun aseijin, “kei man amapa hi twi lah a kon kaloidoh ahi,” ati.
And the child grew up, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became to her as a son; and she called his name Moses; and she said, Because out of the water have I drawn him.
11 Kum phabep ache nung in, Mose jong ahung khang lentan, amapa jong asopiho vil din ache toutan, aman jong asopi Hebrew mite hunam'a na atohsah nau aga mudoh tai. Agavil pet chun, Egypt mikhat in asopi Hebrew mikhat chung'a akhut alha chu amu paijin ahi.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdensome labors; and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew man, one of his brethren.
12 Akimvel avet a koima eive poi ti aphot chen phat in, Mose'n Egypt mipa chu athat in neldi lah a asel tan ahi.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one by, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Ajing nikho in, asopi ho vildin Mose apot doh kit tan ahile, Hebrew mini akinah lhon aga amun ahi. “Ipi jeh a na golpa navoh ham?” tin kinah hin panpa heng'a chun Mose'n aseiye.
And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were striving together; and he said unto him that was in the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 Amapan adonbut in, “Koiham nangma keiho chunga leng'a na pansah le thutan ding'a thaneina nape? Janhi a Egypt mipa natha banga chu keima jong tha ding neigot ham?” tin aseiyin ahileh, Mose jong akichan “Ka thil bol mijousen ahetai.” tin angai ton ahi.”
And he said, Who made thee a chief and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou hast killed the Egyptian! And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is become known.
15 Mose thilbol chu Pharaoh in ahin jadoh tahbeh tan, chuin amapan Mose chu tha ding ago tan ahi. Ahivang'in Mose jong Pharaoh angsung'a kon'in ajam'in Median gamsung'a chengdin ache tai. Median alhun chun Mose jong twikul pang'a atou tan ahi.
And Pharaoh heard this thing, and he sought to slay Moses; but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and tarried in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
16 Tun Median thempupa chun chanu sagi aneiyin amaho chengse chu apau ganchahon ho ding'in twi kongho chu athal ngai bang'un ahung thal dim'un ahi.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Ahinlah kelngoi ching midang phabep ahung'uvin amaho chu anodoh un ahi. Hichun Mose jong achomdoh jeng'in kelngoi ching hoa kon chun numei chapang ho chu ahuhdoh tan ahi. Chuin amapan amaho ganchate a ding twi chu athal peh tan ahi.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses arose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Numei chapang ho chu apau Reuel heng ale lhun uchun, amapan adong un, “Ipi jeh-a tuni nahung kimale uham?” ati'in ahile,
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Wherefore are ye come home so soon today?
19 amahon jong adonbut uvin, “Egypt mi khat in kelngoi ching hoa kon'a eihuhdoh uva, chule amapa chun keiho ding le igancha hon houva ding twi eithal peh jeh'u ahi,” atiuve.
And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he also drew water for us, and watered the flock.
20 “Ahile amapa hoiba ham?” tin apauvin adong'in, “ipi ding'a amapa chu chukom'a chu nahin dalhah uham? Ahung'a ankong isokhom diuvin gakouvun,” ati.
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? wherefore have ye left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Mose'n jong akounau chu asanpeh in, lengpa toh chun hiva chun acheng khom tan ahi. Hiche phatlai chun, Reuel'in achanu Zipporah chu Mose ji ding in ape tan ahi.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 Phat chomkhat jouvin, amanun chapa khat ahing'in, Mose'n Gershom asah tai “Ajeh chu keima hi gamchom beh'a khopem kahi,” tina ahi.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
23 Kum phabep ache nung in, Egypt lengpa athitan ahi. Hinlah Israelte chu soh kihen ohna noiya pohgih poa khoisa jing nalai ahiuve. Panpi ngaiyin akap un, aka awgin'u chu Pathen angsung alhung tan ahi.
And it came to pass in this long time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried; and their complaint came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Akhoisat nau Pathen in aja tan, chuin Abraham, Isaac leh Jacob heng'a akitepna ahin geldoh tan ahi.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Aman Israel mite chu avesuh in, chuin tunvang toh phat ahitai ti chu ahe tan ahi.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
