Tâconae 2
1 Hatnae tueng nah, Levih tami tongpa buet touh ni Levih tami napui a yu lah a la.
A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
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.
The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, 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.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 A tawncanu ni bangtelah vaimoe ao han vaiyoe tie panue han a ngai dawkvah ahlahnawnnae koehoi a tuet.
His sister stood far off, 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.
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket amongst the reeds, and sent her servant to get 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.
She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
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 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 Faro canu ni cet loe telah kâ a poe dawkvah, napuica ni a cei teh camo e a manu hah a kaw.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.
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.
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 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.
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 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,
In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
12 A tengpam a khet teh apihai awm hoeh tie a panue navah, Izip tami hah a thei teh sadi dawk a pakawp.
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 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.
He went out the second day, and behold, 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 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.
He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this 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,
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 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. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s 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.
The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped 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.
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
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.
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 A na pa ni hai hote tami teh na maw ao. Bangkongmaw yout na ban takhai awh. Bu ca hanlah kaw awh, telah atipouh.
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 Hottelah hoiyah Mosi teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah o hanelah, a hnâbo hnukkhu Reuel ni a canu Zipporah hah Mosi hoi a kâpaluen sak.
Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
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.
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign 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.
In the course of those many days, 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 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.
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.
God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.
