Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
Seorang laki-laki dari keluarga Lewi kawin dengan seorang perempuan Lewi;
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.
lalu mengandunglah ia dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ketika dilihatnya, bahwa anak itu cantik, disembunyikannya tiga bulan lamanya.
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.
Tetapi ia tidak dapat menyembunyikannya lebih lama lagi, sebab itu diambilnya sebuah peti pandan, dipakalnya dengan gala-gala dan ter, diletakkannya bayi itu di dalamnya dan ditaruhnya peti itu di tengah-tengah teberau di tepi sungai Nil;
4 And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
kakaknya perempuan berdiri di tempat yang agak jauh untuk melihat, apakah yang akan terjadi dengan dia.
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.
Maka datanglah puteri Firaun untuk mandi di sungai Nil, sedang dayang-dayangnya berjalan-jalan di tepi sungai Nil, lalu terlihatlah olehnya peti yang di tengah-tengah teberau itu, maka disuruhnya hambanya perempuan untuk mengambilnya.
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.
Ketika dibukanya, dilihatnya bayi itu, dan tampaklah anak itu menangis, sehingga belas kasihanlah ia kepadanya dan berkata: "Tentulah ini bayi orang Ibrani."
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?
Lalu bertanyalah kakak anak itu kepada puteri Firaun: "Akan kupanggilkah bagi tuan puteri seorang inang penyusu dari perempuan Ibrani untuk menyusukan bayi itu bagi tuan puteri?"
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
Sahut puteri Firaun kepadanya: "Baiklah." Lalu pergilah gadis itu memanggil ibu bayi itu.
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.
Maka berkatalah puteri Firaun kepada ibu itu: "Bawalah bayi ini dan susukanlah dia bagiku, maka aku akan memberi upah kepadamu." Kemudian perempuan itu mengambil bayi itu dan menyusuinya.
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.
Ketika anak itu telah besar, dibawanyalah kepada puteri Firaun, yang mengangkatnya menjadi anaknya, dan menamainya Musa, sebab katanya: "Karena aku telah menariknya dari air."
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.
Pada waktu itu, ketika Musa telah dewasa, ia keluar mendapatkan saudara-saudaranya untuk melihat kerja paksa mereka; lalu dilihatnyalah seorang Mesir memukul seorang Ibrani, seorang dari saudara-saudaranya itu.
12 And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
Ia menoleh ke sana sini dan ketika dilihatnya tidak ada orang, dibunuhnya orang Mesir itu, dan disembunyikannya mayatnya dalam pasir.
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?
Ketika keesokan harinya ia keluar lagi, didapatinya dua orang Ibrani tengah berkelahi. Ia bertanya kepada yang bersalah itu: "Mengapa engkau pukul temanmu?"
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.
Tetapi jawabnya: "Siapakah yang mengangkat engkau menjadi pemimpin dan hakim atas kami? Apakah engkau bermaksud membunuh aku, sama seperti engkau telah membunuh orang Mesir itu?" Musa menjadi takut, sebab pikirnya: "Tentulah perkara itu telah ketahuan."
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.
Ketika Firaun mendengar tentang perkara itu, dicarinya ikhtiar untuk membunuh Musa. Tetapi Musa melarikan diri dari hadapan Firaun dan tiba di tanah Midian, lalu ia duduk-duduk di tepi sebuah sumur.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
Adapun imam di Midian itu mempunyai tujuh anak perempuan. Mereka datang menimba air dan mengisi palungan-palungan untuk memberi minum kambing domba ayahnya.
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.
Maka datanglah gembala-gembala yang mengusir mereka, lalu Musa bangkit menolong mereka dan memberi minum kambing domba mereka.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
Ketika mereka sampai kepada Rehuel, ayah mereka, berkatalah ia: "Mengapa selekas itu kamu pulang hari ini?"
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.
Jawab mereka: "Seorang Mesir menolong kami terhadap gembala-gembala, bahkan ia menimba air banyak-banyak untuk kami dan memberi minum kambing domba."
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.
Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Di manakah ia? Mengapakah kamu tinggalkan orang itu? Panggillah dia makan."
21 And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
Musa bersedia tinggal di rumah itu, lalu diberikan Rehuellah Zipora, anaknya, kepada Musa.
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.
Perempuan itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka Musa menamainya Gersom, sebab katanya: "Aku telah menjadi seorang pendatang di negeri asing."
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.
Lama sesudah itu matilah raja Mesir. Tetapi orang Israel masih mengeluh karena perbudakan, dan mereka berseru-seru, sehingga teriak mereka minta tolong karena perbudakan itu sampai kepada Allah.
24 And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
Allah mendengar mereka mengerang, lalu Ia mengingat kepada perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
25 And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
Maka Allah melihat orang Israel itu, dan Allah memperhatikan mereka.
