Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
Ó sì ṣe, ọkùnrin ará ilé Lefi kan fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ará Lefi kan ni ìyàwó.
2 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.
Obìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Nígbà tí ó rí í pé ọmọ náà rẹwà, ó gbé ọmọ náà pamọ́ fún oṣù mẹ́ta.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in the basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí kò le è gbé e pamọ́ mọ́, ó fi ewé papirusi hun apẹ̀rẹ̀, ó sì fi ọ̀dà àti òjé igi sán apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà. Ó sì tẹ́ ọmọ náà sínú rẹ̀, ó sì gbe é sí inú eèsún ni etí odò Naili.
4 And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
Arábìnrin rẹ̀ dúró ni òkèèrè láti wo ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ náà.
5 Soon the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the Nile, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. And when she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maidservant to retrieve it.
Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin Farao sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí etí odò Naili láti wẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń rìn ni etí bèbè odò. Ó sì ri apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà ni àárín eèsún, ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin kan láti lọ gbé e wá,
6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”
ó ṣí i, ó sì rí ọmọ náà. Ọmọ náà ń sọkún, àánú ọmọ náà sì ṣe é. Ó wí pé, “Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Heberu ni èyí.”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
Nígbà náà ni arábìnrin rẹ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọmọbìnrin Farao pé, “Ṣé kí èmi lọ wá ọ̀kan lára àwọn obìnrin Heberu wá fún ọ láti bá ọ tọ́jú ọmọ náà?”
8 “Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.
Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; lọ.” Arábìnrin náà sì lọ, ó sì pe ìyá ọmọ náà wá.
9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the boy and nursed him.
Ọmọbìnrin Farao sì wí fún un pé, “Gba ọmọ yìí kí o sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò san owó iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ fún ọ.” Ọmọbìnrin náà sì gbé ọmọ náà lọ, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀.
10 When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and explained, “I drew him out of the water.”
Nígbà tí ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó mú un tọ ọmọbìnrin Farao wá, ó sì di ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Mose, ó wí pé, “Nítorí tí mo fà á jáde nínú omi.”
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí Mose ti dàgbà, ó jáde lọ sí ibi ti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wà, ó ń wò wọ́n lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ líle wọn, ó ri ará Ejibiti tí ń lu ará Heberu, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
12 After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
Ó wo ìhín, ó wo ọ̀hún, nígbà tí kò rí ẹnìkankan, ni ó bá pa ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì bò ó mọ́ inú iyanrìn.
13 The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”
Ní ọjọ́ kejì, ó jáde lọ, ó rí àwọn ará Heberu méjì tí wọ́n ń jà. Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ èyí tí ó jẹ̀bi pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lu Heberu arákùnrin rẹ?”
14 But the man replied, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “This thing I have done has surely become known.”
Ọkùnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ta ni ó fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́ lórí wa? Ṣé ìwọ fẹ́ pa mí bí o ti pa ará Ejibiti?” Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀rù ba Mose, ó sì wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni ọ̀ràn yìí ti di mí mọ̀.”
15 When Pharaoh heard about this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, where he sat down beside a well.
Nígbà ti Farao sì gbọ́ nípa èyí, ó wá ọ̀nà láti pa Mose, ṣùgbọ́n Mose sá kúrò ní àrọ́wọ́tó o Farao, ó lọ sí Midiani láti máa gbé, nígbà tí ó dé bẹ̀, ó jókòó ni ẹ̀bá a kànga kan.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Ó sì ṣe, àlùfáà Midiani kan ni àwọn ọmọbìnrin méje, wọn sì wá láti pọn omi kún ọpọ́n ìmumi fún ẹran ọ̀sìn baba wọn.
17 And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.
Àwọn darandaran kan wá, wọ́n sì lé wọn sẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n Mose dìde láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ àti láti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ láti fún ẹran wọn ní omi.
18 When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
Nígbà ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Reueli baba wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tètè dé ni òní?”
19 “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Ará Ejibiti kan ni ó gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran, ó tilẹ̀ ràn wá lọ́wọ́ láti fa omi àti láti fún agbo ẹran ní omi.”
20 “So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”
Ó sọ fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, “Níbo ni ó wà? Èéṣe ti ẹ fi fi ọkùnrin náà sílẹ̀? Ẹ pè é wá jẹun.”
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
Mose gbà láti dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí o fi Sippora, ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún Mose láti fi ṣe aya.
22 And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gerṣomu, ó wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
23 After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned and cried out under their burden of slavery, and their cry for deliverance from bondage ascended to God.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ọba Ejibiti kú. Àwọn ará Israẹli ń kérora ní oko ẹrú wọn, wọ́n ń ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ nítorí oko ẹrú tí wọ́n wà, igbe wọ́n sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
24 So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ọlọ́run gbọ́ igbe wọn, Ó sì rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Isaaki àti pẹ̀lú Jakọbu.
25 God saw the Israelites and took notice.
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run bojú wo àwọn ará Israẹli, Ó sì wà láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
