Tâconae 2
1 Hatnae tueng nah, Levih tami tongpa buet touh ni Levih tami napui a yu lah a la.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, —and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Napui ni camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Hote ca tongpa teh meilam hawinae hah a manu ni a hmu dawkvah, thapa yung thum touh thung a hro.
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 Hateiteh, a hro thai hoeh torei teh, lungpumkung hoi sak e thingkong hah a la teh tuipan hoi thingtapi hoi a patô hnukkhu, hote thingkong dawk camo a ta teh, Nai palang rai lah lungpum um vah a ta.
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 A tawncanu ni bangtelah vaimoe ao han vaiyoe tie panue han a ngai dawkvah ahlahnawnnae koehoi a tuet.
Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —to see what would be done to him.
5 Hat toteh, Faro canu teh tui kamhluk hanlah a tho. A sannunaw hoi tuipui rai lah a kâhlai awh navah, sumpanaw rahak vah thingkong a hmu teh la hanlah a sannu buet touh a patoun.
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 Thingkong e a khuem a paawng awh navah, ka kap e camo hah a hmu. Pahrennae lungthin a tawn dawkvah hete camo teh Hebru camo doeh telah 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 Camo e a tawncanu ni nang hanlah camo ka cun hane Hebru napui kai ni ka cei vaiteh, na kaw pouh han na ou telah Faro siangpahrang e canu koe a pacei navah,
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 Faro canu ni cet loe telah kâ a poe dawkvah, napuica ni a cei teh camo e a manu hah a kaw.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
9 Hathnukkhu, Faro siangpahrang e canu ni hete camo heh lat nateh kai hanlah na kawk pouh la a, aphu na poe han telah atipouh e patetlah hote napui ni camo hah a la teh a kawk.
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 Camo a roung torei teh, Faro siangpahrang e canu koe a thak pouh teh, siangpahrang e canu ni a ca lah a ta teh, Mosi telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui dawk hoi kai ni ka rasa e telah 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 Mosi teh a kum hruet a cue torei teh, amae a miphunnaw onae hmuen koe a cei teh, ahnimae thaw tawk e naw hah a khet. A miphun Hebru tami buet touh hah Izip tami ni a hem e a hmu navah,
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 A tengpam a khet teh apihai awm hoeh tie a panue navah, Izip tami hah a thei teh sadi dawk a pakawp.
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 Atangtho bout a tâco navah, Hebru tami kahni touh a kâyue roi e a hmu teh, nang ni namamouh roi reira hah bangkongmaw na hem telah ka yue e tami hah a pacei.
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 Hote tami ni apinimaw nang teh kaimouh lathueng vah lawkcengkung lah na ta. Izip tami na thei e patetlah kai hah na thei han na ngai maw telah atipouh. Hatnavah, Mosi ni amae hno a sak e hah a kamphawng toe telah a panue dawkvah a taki.
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 Hote kamthang hah Faro siangpahrang ni a thai torei teh, Mosi thei hanlah a tawng. Mosi teh Faro siangpahrang koehoi a yawng teh, Midian ram vah kho a sak. Ahni teh, tuido teng a tahung navah,
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 Midian vaihma e canu sari touh teh a na pa e tu hoi hmaenaw tui pânei hanlah a tho awh teh tui a do awh hnukkhu, dokkonaw dawk tui a pakawi awh.
Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, —and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
17 Hatnavah, tukhoumnaw a tho awh teh, tu hoi hmaenaw hah a hrui awh. Hatnavah, Mosi ni a thaw teh, hote napuinaw koe lah ao teh tu hoi hmaenaw hah tui a pânei pouh.
Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
18 Hote napuinaw teh a na pa Reuel koe a pha awh navah, bangkong sahnin teh palang na tho awh bo telah atipouh.
Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
19 Ahnimouh nihaiyah Izip tami buet touh ni tukhoumnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang teh tui kakhoutlah a do teh tu hoi hmaenaw hah tui a pânei atipouh awh.
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 A na pa ni hai hote tami teh na maw ao. Bangkongmaw yout na ban takhai awh. Bu ca hanlah kaw awh, telah atipouh.
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 Hottelah hoiyah Mosi teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah o hanelah, a hnâbo hnukkhu Reuel ni a canu Zipporah hah Mosi hoi a kâpaluen sak.
And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, —and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 Hote napui ni ca tongpa a khe toteh Mosi ni Gershom telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh ramlouk dawk imyin lah ka o toe telah ati.
And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
23 A kumtha asaw toteh, Izip siangpahrang hai yo a due toe. Hattoteh Isarelnaw teh san lah ao awhnae koe a cingou khuika awh. Hottelah san lah onae koehoi khuika hramki e lawk teh Cathut koe a pha.
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 Cathut ni ahnimae cingou khuika lawk teh a thai pouh. Hatnavah, Cathut ni Abraham, Isak, Jakop tinaw hoi lawkkam a sak e hah a pouk.
And God heard their groaning, —and God remembered his covenant, with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob;
25 Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Isarelnaw hah a hmu teh, a panue.
so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
