2 Mojžišova 2
1 Odšed pak muž jeden z domu Léví, vzal dceru z pokolení Léví.
It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
2 I počala žena ta, a porodila syna; a viduci, že jest krásný, kryla ho za tři měsíce.
She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him 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.
But when she couldn't hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 A postavila sestru jeho zdaleka, aby zvěděla, co se s ním díti bude.
His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on 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.
Then Pharaoh's daughter arrived to bathe in the Nile. Her ladies-in-waiting were walking along the bank of the river. When she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it and bring it to her.
6 A když otevřela, uzřela dítě; a aj, plakalo pacholátko. A slitovavši se nad ním, řekla: Z dětí Hebrejských jest toto.
When she opened it she saw the baby boy. He was crying and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew boys,” she said.
7 I řekla sestra jeho k dceři Faraonově: Mám-li jíti a zavolati tobě chůvy z žen Hebrejských, kteráž by odchovala tobě dítě?
His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, “Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?”
8 Odpověděla dcera Faraonova: Jdi. Tedy šla děvečka a zavolala matky toho dítěte.
“Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
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.
“Take this baby boy and nurse him for me,” she told his mother. “I will pay you myself.” So his mother took him home and nursed him.
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.
When the boy was older she took him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son. She called him Moses, because she said, “I pulled 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.
Later, when Moses had grown up, he went to visit his people, the Hebrews. He saw them doing hard labor. He also saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 A sem i tam se ohlédna, vida, že žádného tu není, zabil Egyptského, a zahrabal jej v písku.
He looked all around to make sure no one was watching, and then he killed the Egyptian and buried his body in the sand.
13 Vyšed potom druhého dne, a aj, dva muži Hebrejští vadili se. I řekl tomu, kterýž křivdu činil: Proč tepeš bližního svého?
The following day he went back and he saw two Hebrews fighting with each other. He said to the one at fault, “Why are you beating one of your own people?”
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.
“Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
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.
When Pharaoh found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. One day as he was sitting by a well,
16 Kníže pak Madianské mělo sedm dcer. Kteréžto přišedše, vážily vodu, a nalívaly do koryt, aby napájely dobytek otce svého.
and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
17 I přišli pastýři, a odehnali je. Tedy Mojžíš vstav, pomohl jim a napojil dobytek jejich.
Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.
18 A když se navrátily k Raguelovi, otci svému, řekl on: Jakž jste to dnes tak brzo přišly?
When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”
19 Odpověděly: Muž Egyptský vysvobodil nás z ruky pastýřů; ano také ochotně navážil nám vody, a napojil dobytek.
“An Egyptian rescued us from some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”
20 I řekl dcerám svým: Kdež pak jest? Pročež jste pustily muže toho? Povolejte ho, ať pojí chleba.
“So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
21 A svolil Mojžíš k tomu, aby bydlil s mužem tím. Kterýžto dal Zeforu, dceru svou, Mojžíšovi.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
22 I porodila syna, a nazval jméno jeho Gerson; nebo řekl: Příchozí jsem byl v zemi cizí.
She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
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.
Years later, the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still groaning under their hard labor. Their cries for help because of their hardship reached God.
24 A uslyšel Bůh naříkání jejich, a rozpomenul se Bůh na smlouvu svou s Abrahamem, Izákem a Jákobem.
God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 I vzhlédl Bůh na syny Izraelské, a poznal Bůh.
God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
