Exodus 2
1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Ie amy zao, nañenga ty anak’ ampela’ i Levy t’indaty boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Levy.
2 The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Niareñe i rakembay, nitoly ana-dahy, le nioni’e te soa i ajajamenay vaho naeta’e telo volañe.
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
Aa ie tsy nahafañetak’ aze ka, le nangala’e vakoa-vinda naho nipakora’e mozòtse naho lite-laka vaho najo’e ao i anak’ ajajay vaho natsorofo’e am-binda añolon-drano ey.
4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
Nijohañe ey ty zoke’e ampela nisamba ze hanoañe aze.
5 Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.
Nizotso mb’an-tsaka mb’eo amy zao ty anak’ ampela’ i Parò hiandro, le nijelanjelañe añ’olotse ey o somondrara’eo. Aa naho nitrea’e añate-vinda ao i vakoay le nirahe’e hangalak’ aze ty mpitoro’e ampela,
6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
vaho sinoka’e le nahaisake i anak’ ajajay. Nitañy i ajajamenay vaho niferenaiña’e, ami’ty hoe: Toe anan-te-Evre toke.
7 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?”
Le hoe i rahavave’ey amy ana’ i Paròy, Akore t’ie añitrifako mpampinono amo rakemba nte-Evreo hampinono i ajajay?
8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.
Akia, hoe i anak’ ampela’ i Paròy; aa le nimb’eo i ajajampelay nitoka ty rene’ i ajajay.
9 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.
Hoe i ana’ i Paròy ama’e, Endeso ty ajaja toy le ampinonò ho ahiko vaho ho tambezeko irehe. Aa le nendese’ i rakembay i anak’ ajajay vaho nampinonoe’e.
10 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.”
itombo i ajajay le nendese’e mb’amy anak’ampela’ i Paròy añe vaho rinambe’e ho ana-dahi’e. Natao’e Mosè ty añara’e amy ty hoe, Tinariko boak’an-drano.
11 In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
Ie te indraik’ andro naho fa niañoñ’ ay t’i Mosè, le niakatse mb’ am’ ondati’eo nahaoniñe ty nijinia’iareo naho nioni’e ty nte-Mitsraime namofoke ty nte-Evre, raik’ amo longo’eo.
12 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.
Nijilojilo mb’ etia mb’ eroy, aa ie tsy nahatrea ondaty, le nañohofa’e loza i nte-Mitsraimey vaho naeta’e am-paseñe ao.
13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”
Ie niakatse mb’eo naho loak’ andro le nanjo ty nte-Evre roe nifandrapake ty aly, le hoe re ami’ty aman-kakeo, Ino ty andafà’o o longo’oo?
14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”
Le hoe re. Ia ty nañoriñ’ azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Hañe-doza amako ka hao irehe manahake i namonoa’o i nte-Mitsraimeiy? Nihembañ’ amy zao t’i Mosè nitsakore ty hoe, Toe nirendreke i rahay.
15 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.
Jinanji’ i Parò, le nipay ty hañe-doza amy Mosè. Le nibioñe ami’ty tarehe’ i Parò t’i Mosè, noly mb’an-tane Midiane añe vaho niambesatse am-bovoñe eo.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Aman-anak’ ampela fito ty mpisoro’ i Midiane. Nimb’ eo iereo nitari-drano nañatsake o dabaogao hampinomeñe ty lia-rain-drae’e.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Pok’eo amy zao o mpiarak’ añondrio nanao soike iareo. Niongake t’i Mosè le rinomba’e le nampinome’e i lia-rai’iareoy.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
Ie nimpoly mb’an-drae’e Reoele mb’eo le hoe re, Ino ty nampasika ty fimpoli’ areo androany?
19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”
Hoe iereo, Nañolots’ anay amo mpiarak’ añondrio ty nte-Mitsraime vaho nitariha’e rano mbore nampinome’e i lia-raikey.
20 He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
Hoe re amo anak’ ampela’eo, Aia re? Ino ty nienga’ areo indatiy? Ambarao hikama.
21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
Niantofa’ i Mosè t’ie holy amy ‘ndatiy vaho natolo’e amy Mosè t’i Tsiporàe anak’ ampela’e ho vali’e.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Nahatoly ana-dahy ho aze re vaho natao’e Geresòme, ami’ty hoe, Renetane iraho mañialo an-tanen’ ambahiny.
23 In the course of those many days, 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.
Ie roñoñe añe, nihomake i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey naho nampiselekaiñe o ana’ Israeleo i fandrohizañey, le nirohadrohake vaho nionjoñe mb’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amy fitromahañey ty fitoreo’ iareo.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Jinanjin’ Añahare ty toreo’ iareo vaho nitiahin’ Añahare i fañìna’e amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsàke vaho am’ Iakòbey.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.
Nivazohon’ Añahare o ana’ Israeleo vaho nihaoñen’ Andrianañahare.
