< 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 bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so 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 an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.
4 Chuin naosen unu jong gamlha thim'a kon'in ading'in naosen chu i-atidem tin agalvet in ahi.
Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —to see 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.
So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, 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 and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
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 unto 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. So the maid 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 to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.
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, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew 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 grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—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.
So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, 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 he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite 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 hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the thing is, 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.
So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the 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 and filled the troughs, to water their fathers 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.
Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured 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,
Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
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, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, 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 is it that 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 well-pleased 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 bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange 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, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
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.
so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
