Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
Alò, yon mesye lakay Lévi te marye avèk yon fi Lévi.
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.
Fanm nan te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis. Lè l te wè ke li te byen bèl, li te kache li pandan twa mwa.
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.
Men lè li pa t kab kache li ankò, li te pran yon panyen wozo, e li te kouvri li avèk goudwon ak gòm rezen. Konsa, li te mete pitit la ladann, e te plase li pami wozo yo akote lariviyè Nil lan.
4 And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
Sè li a te kanpe nan yon distans, pou wè kisa ki kab rive li.
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.
Fi a Farawon an te vin desann pou benyen nan Nil lan avèk sèvant li yo e yo t ap mache akote Nil lan. Konsa, li te wè panyen an pami wozo yo. Li te voye sèvant li an pou pote bay li.
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.
Lè li te ouvri li; li te wè pitit la, e gade byen, li t ap kriye. Konsa, li te gen pitye pou li e te di: “Sa se youn nan pitit Ebre yo.”
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?
Epi sè li a te di a fi Farawon an: “Èske mwen ta dwe al chache yon fanm nouris pami fanm Ebre yo pou ou pou l ka ba li tete pou ou?”
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Ale”. Konsa, fi a te al rele manman a pitit la.
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.
Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Pran pitit sa a ale, bay li tete pou mwen e mwen va ba ou salè ou.” Epi fanm nan te pran pitit la e li te bay li tete.
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.
Pitit la te grandi, li te pote li bay fi a Farawon an, li te devni fis li. Li te bay li non Moïse, e li te di: “Akoz ke m te rale li sòti nan dlo a.”
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.
Li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke lè Moïse te fin grandi, li te sòti vè frè li yo, e li te wè fàdo yo. Li te wè yon Ejipsyen ki t ap bat yon Ebre, youn nan frè li yo.
12 And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
Alò li te gade toupatou e lè l pa t wè pèsòn, li te touye li, e li te kache li nan sab la.
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?
Li te sòti nan pwochen jou a, e gade, de Ebre t ap goumen youn avèk lòt. Li te di a sa ki gen tò a: “Poukisa ou ap frape pwochen ou an?”
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.
Men li te di: “Kilès ki te fè ou prens, oswa jij sou nou? Èske ou gen entansyon vin touye mwen jan ou te touye Ejipsyen an?” Alò konsa Moïse te vin pè. Konsa li te di: “Anverite, afè sa gen tan vin konnen.”
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.
Lè Farawon te tande afè sila a, li te eseye touye Moïse. Men Moïse te sove ale de prezans li, li te vin demere nan peyi Madian, e li te vin chita la akote yon pwi.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
Alò, prèt Madian an te gen sèt fi. Yo te vin rale dlo e te ranpli veso yo pou bay bann mouton papa yo dlo.
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.
Bèje yo te vin pouse yo ale, men Moïse te kanpe pou ede fi yo, e te bay bann mouton pa yo bwè.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
Lè yo te vin kote Réuel, papa yo, li te di: “Poukisa nou gen tan tounen tèlman vit konsa jodi a?”
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.
Yo te di: “Yon Ejipsyen te delivre nou anba men a bèje yo, e anplis, li te menm rale dlo pou nou e te bay bann mouton an dlo.”
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.
Li te di fi li yo: “Alò, kibò li ye? Poukisa nou te kite mesye sa a dèyè? Envite li vin manje yon bagay.”
21 And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
Moïse te dakò rete avèk mesye a, e li te bay fi li, Séphora a Moïse.
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.
Konsa, li te bay nesans a yon fis e li te nonmen li Guerschom, paske li te di: “Mwen te yon vwayajè nan yon peyi etranje.”
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.
Alò li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke wa Égypte la te mouri. Epi fis Israël yo t ap fè gwo souf e t ap kriye akoz esklavaj la. Alò, kri pa yo akoz esklavaj sila a, te leve rive jwenn Bondye.
24 And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
Konsa, Bondye te tande plent pa yo, epi Bondye te sonje akò Li avèk Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob.
25 And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
Bondye te wè fis Israël yo, e Bondye te konprann.
