Exodus 2
1 And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters of Levi.
Zvino mumwe murume weimba yaRevhi akawana mukadzi,
2 And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
uye mukadzi uyu akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Paakaona kuti akanga ari mwana akanaka, akamuvanza kwemwedzi mitatu.
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.
Asi akati asisagoni kumuvanza, akamutorera tswanda yenhokwe akainama netara nenamo. Ipapo akaisa mwana imomo ndokuiisa pakati petsanga dzaiva mumahombekombe aNairi.
4 And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
Hanzvadzi yake yakamira iri chinhambwe kuti ione kuti chii chaizoitika kwaari.
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.
Ipapo mwanasikana waFaro akaburuka akaenda kurwizi Nairi kuti andoshamba, uye varandakadzi vake vakanga vachifamba vachitevedza mahombekombe. Akaona tswanda pakati petsanga ndokubva atuma murandakadzi wake kuti andoitora.
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.
Akaizarura akaona mwana. Akanga achichema, uye akamunzwira tsitsi. Akati, “Uyu ndomumwe wavana vavaHebheru.”
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?
Ipapo hanzvadzi yake yakakumbira mwanasikana waFaro ikati, “Ndingaenda here ndikandokutorerai mumwe wavakadzi vechiHebheru kuti azokurererai mwana?”
8 And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
Uye mwanasikana waFaro akapindura akati, “Hongu.” Uye musikana akaenda akandotora mai vomwana.
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.
Mwanasikana waFaro akati kwavari, “Tora mwana uyu unondirererawo, uye ini ndichakupa muripo wako.” Saka mukadzi akatora mwana akamurera.
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.
Mwana akati akura, akamutora akaenda naye kumwanasikana waFaro akava mwanakomana wake. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Mozisi, achiti, “Ndakamutora mumvura.”
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.
Rimwe zuva Mozisi akura, akaenda kwakanga kuna vanhu vokwake uye akavatarira vari pabasa ravo rakaoma. Akaona muIjipita achirova muHebheru, mumwe wavanhu vokwake.
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.
Akaringa-ringa ndokuona kusina munhu achibva auraya muIjipita, ndokumuviga mujecha.
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?
Zuva rakatevera, akabuda akaona vaHebheru vaviri vachirwa. Akabvunza uya akanga akanganisa akati, “Seiko uchirova mumwe wako muHebheru?”
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.
Murume uya akati, “Ndianiko akakuita mubati nomutongi pamusoro pedu? Uri kuda kundiuraya sokuuraya kwawakaita muIjipita nhai?” Ipapo Mozisi akatya akafunga akati, “Zvandakaita zvinofanira kuva zvava kuzivikanwa.”
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.
Faro akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kuuraya Mozisi, asi Mozisi akatiza Faro akaenda kundogara kuMidhiani, uye akagara patsime.
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.
Zvino muprista weMidhiani akanga ana vanasikana vanomwe uye vakauya kuzochera mvura yokuti vazadze midziyo yainwira zvipfuwo zvababa vavo.
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.
Vamwe vafudzi vakasvika vakavadzinga, asi Mozisi akasimuka akavanunura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo zvavo.
18 And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
Vasikana pavakadzokera kuna Reueri baba vavo, akavabvunza akati, “Makurumidza seiko kudzoka nhasi?”
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
Vakapindura vakati, “Tanunurwa nomuIjipita kubva kuvafudzi. Abva aticherera mvura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo.”
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.
Akabvunza vanasikana vake akati, “Aripiko? Mamusiyirei? Mudanei, auye azodya.”
21 And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
Mozisi akabvuma kugara nomurume uyu, uyo akazopa mwanasikana wake Zipora kuna Mozisi kuti ave mukadzi wake.
22 And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
Zipora akabereka mwanakomana, uye Mozisi akamutumidza zita rokuti Gerishomi, achiti, “Ndava mueni munyika yavatorwa.”
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.
Zvino makore mazhinji akati apfuura, mambo weIjipiti akafa. VaIsraeri vakagomera muutapwa hwavo uye vakachema, kuchemera rubatsiro rwavo nokuda kwoutapwa hwavo kukakwira kuna Mwari.
24 And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
Mwari akanzwa kugomera kwavo uye akarangarira sungano yake naAbhurahama, naIsaka uye naJakobho.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
Saka Mwari akatarisa pamusoro pavaIsraeri akava nehanya navo.
