2 Mojžišova 2
1 Odšed pak muž jeden z domu Léví, vzal dceru z pokolení Léví.
Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
2 I počala žena ta, a porodila syna; a viduci, že jest krásný, kryla ho za tři měsíce.
And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.
3 A když ho nemohla déle tajiti, vzala mu ošitku z sítí, a omazala ji klím a smolou; a vložila do ní to dítě, a vyložila do rákosí u břehu řeky.
And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.
4 A postavila sestru jeho zdaleka, aby zvěděla, co se s ním díti bude.
And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
5 A v tom sešla dcera Faraonova, aby se myla v řece; a děvečky její procházely se po břehu řeky. A uzřevši ošitku mezi rákosím, poslala děvečku svou, a vzala ji.
Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.
6 A když otevřela, uzřela dítě; a aj, plakalo pacholátko. A slitovavši se nad ním, řekla: Z dětí Hebrejských jest toto.
And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 I řekla sestra jeho k dceři Faraonově: Mám-li jíti a zavolati tobě chůvy z žen Hebrejských, kteráž by odchovala tobě dítě?
Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?
8 Odpověděla dcera Faraonova: Jdi. Tedy šla děvečka a zavolala matky toho dítěte.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
9 I řekla jí dcera Faraonova: Vezmi toto dítě, a odchovej mi je; a jáť dám mzdu tvou. I vzala žena dítě, a chovala je.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.
10 A když odrostlo pachole, dovedla je k dceři Faraonově, kteráž jej měla za syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Mojžíš, řkuci: Nebo jsem ho z vody vytáhla.
And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.
11 I stalo se ve dnech těch, když vyrostl Mojžíš, že vyšel k bratřím svým, a hleděl na trápení jejich. Uzřel také muže Egyptského, an tepe muže Hebrejského, jednoho z bratří jeho.
Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.
12 A sem i tam se ohlédna, vida, že žádného tu není, zabil Egyptského, a zahrabal jej v písku.
And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
13 Vyšed potom druhého dne, a aj, dva muži Hebrejští vadili se. I řekl tomu, kterýž křivdu činil: Proč tepeš bližního svého?
And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?
14 Kterýžto odpověděl: Kdo tě ustanovil knížetem a soudcí nad námi? Zdali zabiti mne myslíš, jako jsi zabil Egyptského? Protož ulekl se Mojžíš a řekl: Jistě známá jest ta věc.
And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.
15 A uslyšav Farao tu věc, hledal zabiti Mojžíše. Ale Mojžíš utekl od tváři Faraonovy, a bydlil v zemi Madianské; i usadil se podlé studnice.
Now when Pharaoh had news of this, he would have put Moses to death. But Moses went in flight from Pharaoh into the land of Midian: and he took his seat by a water-spring.
16 Kníže pak Madianské mělo sedm dcer. Kteréžto přišedše, vážily vodu, a nalívaly do koryt, aby napájely dobytek otce svého.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
17 I přišli pastýři, a odehnali je. Tedy Mojžíš vstav, pomohl jim a napojil dobytek jejich.
And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.
18 A když se navrátily k Raguelovi, otci svému, řekl on: Jakž jste to dnes tak brzo přišly?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
19 Odpověděly: Muž Egyptský vysvobodil nás z ruky pastýřů; ano také ochotně navážil nám vody, a napojil dobytek.
And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.
20 I řekl dcerám svým: Kdež pak jest? Pročež jste pustily muže toho? Povolejte ho, ať pojí chleba.
And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.
21 A svolil Mojžíš k tomu, aby bydlil s mužem tím. Kterýžto dal Zeforu, dceru svou, Mojžíšovi.
And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
22 I porodila syna, a nazval jméno jeho Gerson; nebo řekl: Příchozí jsem byl v zemi cizí.
And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.
23 Stalo se pak po mnohých časích, že umřel král Egyptský; a synové Izraelští úpěli pro roboty, a křičeli. I vstoupil k Bohu křik jejich pro roboty.
Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.
24 A uslyšel Bůh naříkání jejich, a rozpomenul se Bůh na smlouvu svou s Abrahamem, Izákem a Jákobem.
And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
25 I vzhlédl Bůh na syny Izraelské, a poznal Bůh.
And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
