Wuok 2
1 Ja-Lawi moro nokendo nyar ja-dhoodgi,
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi.
2 mi nomako ich monywolo nyathi ma wuowi. Ka noneno ni en nyathi ma jaber, nopande kuom dweche adek.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
3 To ka koro ne ok onyal medo pande, nokawo osera mochwe gi togo momuono gi lowo kod odok. Bangʼe noketo nyathino ei oserano kendo noketo oserano ei odundu e tiend aora Nael.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 Nyamin nyathino nochungʼ gichien mondo one ane gima biro timore ni nyathino.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 Eka nyar Farao nodhi e aora Nael mondo olwokre, ka jotichne to ne wuotho e geng aora. Nyar Farao noneno oserano ka ni e kind odundu, mine ooro jatichne ma nyako mondo ogeme.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 Ne oele mi oyudo nyathi. Nyathino ne ywak, kendo nokeche mowacho niya, “Ma en achiel kuom nyithind jo-Hibrania.”
And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Eka nyamin nyathino nopenjo nyar Farao niya, “Bende anyalo dhi mondo aluongni achiel kuom mond jo-Hibrania mondo opirni nyathini.”
Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 Nyar farao nodwoke niya, “Ee, dhiyo.” Kuom mano nyakono nodhi mokelo mana min nyathino.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 Nyar Farao nowachone niya, “Kaw nyathini mondo ipidhna bangʼe abiro chuli.” Omiyo dhakono nokawo nyathino kendo norite.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 Ka nyathino nosedongo mobedo maduongʼ nokawe motere ne nyar Farao kendo nyathino nodoko wuod nyar Farao. Nochake ni Musa kowacho niya, “Ne agole e pi.”
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 Kane Musa osedoko ngʼat maduongʼ, chiengʼ moro nodhi ir owetene ma jo-Israel kendo noneno kaka negitiyo tich matek. Noneno achiel kuom jo-Hibrania wetene, ka igoyo kod ja-Misri.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Nogoyo machiemo koni gi koni, kendo kane ok oneno ngʼato, nonego ja-Misrino mi oike ei kuoyo.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Kinyne nodok mi oneno jo-Hibrania ariyo ka dhawo. Nopenjo ngʼat ma nokwinyo nyawadgino niya, “Marangʼo igoyo ja-Hibrania wadu?”
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura? Iparo mar nega kaka nyoro inego ja-Misri cha?” Ka Musa nowinjo kamano, kibaji nogoye mobedo maluor koparo niya, “Gima nyoro atimo nyaka bed ni osengʼere.”
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Kane Farao owinjo wachno notemo mondo oneg Musa, kata kamano Musa noringo modhi odak e piny Midian, mi obet e bath soko moro.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 Jadolo moro mar jo-Midian ne nigi nyiri abiriyo, negibiro tuomo pi ka giolo e karaya mondo jamb wuon-gi omodhi.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 Jokwath moko nobiro mondo oriembgi, to Musa noa malo moresogi kendo nomiyo jambgi pi omodho.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Bangʼe kane nyirigo odok ir Reuel wuon-gi, nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo udwogo chon kawuono?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
19 Negidwoke niya, “Ja-Misri moro noresowa e lwet jokwath, mi otuomonwa pi kendo omiyo jamni pi omodho.”
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 Reuel nopenjo nyige niya, “En kanye? Marangʼo uweye? Luongeuru mondo oyud gimoro ocham.”
And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Musa noyie mondo odag gi ngʼatno, mi Reuel nomiye nyare miluongo ni Zipora mondo obed chiege.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Zipora nonywolo wuowi mi Musa nochako nyinge ni Gershom, kowacho niya, “Asedoko jadak e piny ma ok marwa.”
And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 E kinde mane Musa pod odak Midian, Farao ruodh Misri notho. Jo-Israel ne ngʼur ahinya kuom tichgi mar wasumbini mi giywak malit, kendo ywakgi mondo oresgi e tich mar bedo misumba nochopo ir Nyasaye.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Nyasaye nowinjo ngʼurgi mi oparo singruokne gi Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Kuom mano Nyasaye noneno kaka jo-Israel thagore mi wachno ne odonjo e chunye.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto [them].
