2 Mojžišova 2
1 Odšed pak muž jeden z domu Léví, vzal dceru z pokolení Léví.
Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a woman of Levi.
2 I počala žena ta, a porodila syna; a viduci, že jest krásný, kryla ho za tři měsíce.
The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy boy, 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 could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. Then she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds in the water along the side of the river.
4 A postavila sestru jeho zdaleka, aby zvěděla, co se s ním díti bude.
His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to 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.
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river while her attendants walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her attendant to get it.
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 child. Behold, the baby was crying. She had compassion on him and said, “This is certainly 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 the baby's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Should I go and find you a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for you?”
8 Odpověděla dcera Faraonova: Jdi. Tedy šla děvečka a zavolala matky toho dítěte.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the young 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.
Pharaoh's daughter said to the baby's mother, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay you wages.” So the woman took the child 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 child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and said, “Because I drew him from 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.
When Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and observed their hard work. He saw an Egyptian striking 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 this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one there, he killed the Egyptian and hid 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?
He went out the next day, and, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting. He said to the one who was in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your companion?”
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.
But the man said, “Who made you a leader and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed that Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid and said, “What I did has certainly become known to others.”
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 heard about it, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. There he sat down by a well.
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. They came, drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 I přišli pastýři, a odehnali je. Tedy Mojžíš vstav, pomohl jim a napojil dobytek jejich.
The shepherds came and tried to drive them away, but Moses went and helped them. Then he watered their flock.
18 A když se navrátily k Raguelovi, otci svému, řekl on: Jakž jste to dnes tak brzo přišly?
When the girls went to Reuel their father, he said, “Why are you home so early today?”
19 Odpověděly: Muž Egyptský vysvobodil nás z ruky pastýřů; ano také ochotně navážil nám vody, a napojil dobytek.
They said, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 I řekl dcerám svým: Kdež pak jest? Pročež jste pustily muže toho? Povolejte ho, ať pojí chleba.
He said to his daughters, “So where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him so he can eat a meal 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 also gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage.
22 I porodila syna, a nazval jméno jeho Gerson; nebo řekl: Příchozí jsem byl v zemi cizí.
She bore a son, and Moses called his name Gershom; he said, “I have been a resident in a foreign 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.
A long time later, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out for help, and their pleas went up to God because of their bondage.
24 A uslyšel Bůh naříkání jejich, a rozpomenul se Bůh na smlouvu svou s Abrahamem, Izákem a Jákobem.
When God heard their groaning, God called to mind his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 I vzhlédl Bůh na syny Izraelské, a poznal Bůh.
God saw the Israelites, and he understood their situation.
