Wuok 2
1 Ja-Lawi moro nokendo nyar ja-dhoodgi,
A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
2 mi nomako ich monywolo nyathi ma wuowi. Ka noneno ni en nyathi ma jaber, nopande kuom dweche adek.
The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine 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.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.
4 Nyamin nyathino nochungʼ gichien mondo one ane gima biro timore ni nyathino.
And his sister stood at a distance, to see 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.
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the box among the rushes, and sent her handmaid to get it.
6 Ne oele mi oyudo nyathi. Nyathino ne ywak, kendo nokeche mowacho niya, “Ma en achiel kuom nyithind jo-Hibrania.”
She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. 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 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 Nyar farao nodwoke niya, “Ee, dhiyo.” Kuom mano nyakono nodhi mokelo mana min nyathino.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
12 Nogoyo machiemo koni gi koni, kendo kane ok oneno ngʼato, nonego ja-Misrino mi oike ei kuoyo.
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 Kinyne nodok mi oneno jo-Hibrania ariyo ka dhawo. Nopenjo ngʼat ma nokwinyo nyawadgino niya, “Marangʼo igoyo ja-Hibrania wadu?”
He went out the second day, and look, 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 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.”
He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was afraid, 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 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 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. 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.
The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
18 Bangʼe kane nyirigo odok ir Reuel wuon-gi, nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo udwogo chon kawuono?”
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
19 Negidwoke niya, “Ja-Misri moro noresowa e lwet jokwath, mi otuomonwa pi kendo omiyo jamni pi omodho.”
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 Reuel nopenjo nyige niya, “En kanye? Marangʼo uweye? Luongeuru mondo oyud gimoro ocham.”
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 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 in marriage.
22 Zipora nonywolo wuowi mi Musa nochako nyinge ni Gershom, kowacho niya, “Asedoko jadak e piny ma ok marwa.”
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign 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.
It happened in the course of those many days, that 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 Nyasaye nowinjo ngʼurgi mi oparo singruokne gi Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.
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.
God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
