Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
Υπήγε δε άνθρωπός τις εκ του οίκου Λευΐ, και έλαβεν εις γυναίκα μίαν εκ των θυγατέρων Λευΐ.
2 And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.
Και συνέλαβεν η γυνή και εγέννησεν υιόν· ιδούσα δε αυτόν ότι ήτο εύμορφος, έκρυψεν αυτόν τρεις μήνας.
3 And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.
Μη δυναμένη δε να κρύπτη αυτόν πλέον, έλαβε δι' αυτόν κιβώτιον σπάρτινον και κατέχρισεν αυτό με άσφαλτον και πίσσαν και ενέβαλε το παιδίον εις αυτό και έθεσεν εις το ελώδες μέρος παρά το χείλος του ποταμού.
4 And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
Η δε αδελφή αυτού παρεμόνευε μακρόθεν, διά να ίδη το αποβησόμενον εις αυτό.
5 Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.
Και κατέβη η θυγάτηρ του Φαραώ διά να λουσθή εις τον ποταμόν, αι δε θεράπαιναι αυτής περιεπάτουν επί την όχθην του ποταμού· και ότε είδε το κιβώτιον εις το ελώδες μέρος, έστειλε την παιδίσκην αυτής και έλαβεν αυτό·
6 And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
και ανοίξασα βλέπει το παιδίον και ιδού, το νήπιον έκλαιε· και ελυπήθη αυτό, λέγουσα, Εκ των παιδίων των Εβραίων είναι τούτο.
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?
Τότε είπεν η αδελφή αυτού προς την θυγατέρα του Φαραώ, Θέλεις να υπάγω να καλέσω εις σε γυναίκα θηλάζουσαν εκ των Εβραίων, διά να σοι θηλάση το παιδίον;
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
Και είπε προς αυτήν η θυγάτηρ του Φαραώ, Ύπαγε. Και υπήγε το κοράσιον και εκάλεσε την μητέρα του παιδίου.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.
Και είπε προς αυτήν η θυγάτηρ του Φαραώ, Λάβε το παιδίον τούτο και θήλασόν μοι αυτό, και εγώ θέλω σοι δώσει τον μισθόν σου.
10 And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.
Έλαβε δε η γυνή το παιδίον και εθήλαζεν αυτό. Και αφού εμεγάλωσε το παιδίον, έφερεν αυτό προς την θυγατέρα του Φαραώ, και έγεινεν υιός αυτής· και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτού Μωϋσήν, λέγουσα, Ότι εκ του ύδατος ανέσυρα αυτό.
11 Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.
Κατά δε τας ημέρας εκείνας, αφού ο Μωϋσής εμεγάλωσεν, εξήλθε προς τους αδελφούς αυτού· και παρατηρών τα βάρη αυτών, βλέπει άνθρωπον Αιγύπτιον τύπτοντα Εβραίον τινά εκ των αδελφών αυτού.
12 And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
Περιβλέψας δε εδώ και εκεί και ιδών ότι δεν ήτο ουδείς, επάταξε τον Αιγύπτιον και έκρυψεν αυτόν εν τη άμμω.
13 And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?
Και εξήλθε την ακόλουθον ημέραν και ιδού, δύο άνδρες Εβραίοι διεπληκτίζοντο· και λέγει προς τον αδικούντα, Διά τι τύπτεις τον πλησίον σου;
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.
Ο δε είπε, Τις σε κατέστησεν άρχοντα και κριτήν εφ' ημάς; Μήπως θέλεις συ να με φονεύσης, καθώς εφόνευσας τον Αιγύπτιον; Και εφοβήθη ο Μωϋσής και είπε, Βεβαίως το πράγμα τούτο έγεινε γνωστόν.
15 Now when Pharaoh had news of this, he would have put Moses to death. But Moses went in flight from Pharaoh into the land of Midian: and he took his seat by a water-spring.
Ακούσας δε ο Φαραώ το πράγμα τούτο, εζήτει να θανατώση τον Μωϋσήν· αλλ' ο Μωϋσής έφυγεν από προσώπου του Φαραώ και κατώκησεν εν τη γη Μαδιάμ· εκάθισε δε πλησίον του φρέατος.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
Ο δε ιερεύς της Μαδιάμ είχεν επτά θυγατέρας, αίτινες ελθούσαι ήντλησαν ύδωρ και εγέμισαν τας ποτίστρας διά να ποτίσωσι τα πρόβατα του πατρός αυτών.
17 And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.
Ελθόντες δε οι ποιμένες εδίωξαν αυτάς· και σηκωθείς ο Μωϋσής εβοήθησεν αυτάς και επότισε τα πρόβατα αυτών.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
Και ότε ήλθον προς Ραγουήλ τον πατέρα αυτών, είπε προς αυτάς, Διά τι τόσον ταχέως ήλθετε σήμερον;
19 And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.
Αι δε είπον, Άνθρωπος Αιγύπτιος ελύτρωσεν ημάς εκ των χειρών των ποιμένων και προσέτι ήντλησεν εις ημάς ύδωρ και επότισε τα πρόβατα.
20 And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.
Ο δε είπε προς τας θυγατέρας αυτού, Και που είναι; διά τι αφήκατε τον άνθρωπον; καλέσατε αυτόν διά να φάγη άρτον.
21 And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
Και ευχαριστήθη ο Μωϋσής να κατοική μετά του ανθρώπου· όστις έδωκεν εις τον Μωϋσήν εις γυναίκα Σεπφώραν την θυγατέρα αυτού.
22 And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.
Και εγέννησεν υιόν· και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτού Γηρσώμ, λέγων, Πάροικος είμαι εν ξένη γή·
23 Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.
Μετά δε πολύν καιρόν, ετελεύτησεν ο βασιλεύς της Αιγύπτου· και κατεστέναξαν οι υιοί Ισραήλ διά την δουλείαν και ανεβόησαν· και η βοή αυτών ανέβη προς τον Θεόν εξ αιτίας της δουλείας.
24 And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
Και εισήκουσεν ο Θεός των στεναγμών αυτών· και ενεθυμήθη ο Θεός την διαθήκην αυτού την προς τον Αβραάμ, τον Ισαάκ και τον Ιακώβ·
25 And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
και επέβλεψεν ο Θεός επί τους υιούς Ισραήλ και ηλέησεν αυτούς ο Θεός.
