Exodus 2
1 And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters of Levi.
Te vaengah Levi imkhui lamkah tongpa pakhat te cet tih Levi nu te a loh.
2 And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
A yuu te vawn tih capa a cun hatah anih tea then la a sawt tih hla thum a thuh.
3 And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
Anih te koep thuh ham a coeng pawt vaengah tah anih ham talik lawng a loh pah tih lungpaat kunhnai neh a hluk. Te phoeiah a khuiah camoe te a khueh tih sokko tuikaeng kah carhaek ding ah a khueh.
4 And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
Anih taengah metla a om khaw ming hamla a ngannu loh a hla lamkah a pai thil.
5 And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
Te vaengah Pharaoh canu te tui hlu la sokko ah cet tih a hula puei neh sokko lihmoi ah pongpa uh. Tedae carhaek ding kah lawng te a hmuh vaengah a salnu te a tueih tih a loh pah.
6 And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
A ong vaengah camoe te a hmuh tih camoe khaw tarha ana rhap. Te dongah anih ham a thinphat tih, “Hebrew camoe la he,” a ti.
7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Will you that I call to you a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for you?
Te vaengah a ngannu loh Pharaoh canu te, “Ka cet vetih nang ham Hebrew nu te, cakhoem la ka khue eh. Te daengah ni nang ham camoe hang khoem eh?,” a ti nah.
8 And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
Anih te Pharaoh canu loh, “Cet saw,” a ti nah dongah hula te cet tih camoe manu te a khue pah.
9 And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give you the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
Pharaoh canu loh anih te, “Camoe he caeh puei lamtah kai ham han cun, kamah loh na thapang kam paek bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah manu loh camoe te a khuen tih a cun.
10 And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
Camoe te a pantai phoeiah Pharaoh canu taengla a khuen. Te vaengah a capa la om tih a ming te Moses a sui tih, “Anih he tui dong lamlong ni ka doek,” a ti.
11 And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian striking a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
A khohnin loh a pha tih Moses khaw pantai coeng. Te dongah a manuca rhoek taengla pawk tih amih kah bitloh te a hmuh. Te vaengah a manuca Hebrew hlang mai Egypt hlang loh a ngawn pah te a hmuh.
12 And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Tedae heben hebang la a mael akhaw hlang te hmu pawh. Te dongah Egypt te a ngawn tih laivin khuiah a up.
13 And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Therefore smite you your neighbour?
A hnin bae dongkah a mop vaengah tah Hebrew hlang rhoi te tarha ana hnuei uh rhoi. Te dongah aka halang te, “Balae tih na hui na ngawn?” a ti nah.
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? will you kill me as you yesterday killed the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
Te vaengah, “Hlang khaw, Kaimih sokah mangpa neh laitloek la ulong nang ng'khueh, Egypt na ngawn bangla kai ngawn ham na cai nama?” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses loh a rhih coeng tih, “Dumlai khaw phoe taktak coeng,” a ti.
15 And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to kill Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and lived in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
Te ol te Pharaoh loh a yaak vaengah Moses te ngawn ham a mae. Tedae Moses tah Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh yong tih Midian khohmuen ah kho a sak. Te vaengah tuito ah ngol hatah,
16 And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
Midian khosoih kah a canu parhih te ha pawk uh tih tui a dueh uh. Te phoeiah a napa kah boiva te tul ham tuisoi dongah a loei uh.
17 And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
Te vaengah boiva aka dawn rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta rhoek te a haek uh. Tedae Moses te thoo tih huta rhoek a rhun tih a boiva te tui a tul pah.
18 And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
A napa Reuel taengla a pawk uh vaengah, “Tihnin ah tah balae tih yue na pawk uh,” a ti nah.
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
Te vaengah, “Egypt hlang loh kaimih he boiva aka dawn rhoek kut lamloh n'huul. Te phoeiah tui pataeng kaimih ham han dueh han dueh tih boiva te a tul,” a ti nauh.
20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have you left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
Te dongah a ca rhoek te, “Melae anih? Balae tih hlang te na hnoo uh? Anih te khue uh lamtah buh ca dae saeh,” a ti nah.
21 And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
Hlang neh khosak ham khaw Moses loh a ueh van coeng dongah a canu Zipporah te Moses taengah a paek.
22 And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
Te vaengah capa a cun pah hatah kholong kho ah yinlai la ka om a ti tih a ming te Gershom a sui.
23 And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
A tue muep a khum phoeiah tah Egypt manghai khaw duek. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te thohtatnah khui lamloh huei uh tih pang uh. Thohtatnah lamloh a pang uh te Pathen taengla cet.
24 And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
Tedae Pathen loh amih kah nguekcoinah te a yaak tih Abraham taengkah, Isaak taengkah, Jakob taengkah a paipi te Pathen loh a poek.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
Te dongah Pathen loh Israel ca rhoek te a hmuh tih amih te Pathen loh a ming.
