Exodus 2
1 And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters of Levi.
Na Lewini bi waree ɔbea bi fii Lewi abusuakuw mu.
2 And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
Ɔbea no nyinsɛn woo abarimaa. Abofra no na huu sɛ ne ho yɛ fɛ yiye nti ɔde no siee fie asram abiɛsa.
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.
Eduu bere bi no, na ɔde no sie a ɛnyɛ yiye nti, ɔde mfea nwenee kɛntɛn bi de ɛhyɛ ne ama faa ho sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, nsu rentumi nkɔ mu. Ɔde abofra no too mu de no kosii asu Nil konkɔn so wɔ wura a na ɛwɔ hɔ no bi mu.
4 And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
Abofra no nuabea kogyinaa akyiri baabi a na ɔwɛn no.
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.
Farao babea kɔɔ asu no mu sɛ ɔrekoguare. Bere a ɔne ne mmaawa nam asu no konkɔn so no, ohuu kɛntɛn no sɛ ɛhyɛ wuram hɔ baabi, enti ɔsomaa ne mmaawa no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔfa mmrɛ no.
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.
Ɔde bae a obuee so no, ohuu sɛ abarimaa bi da mu a ɔresu. Asɛm no yɛɛ no awerɛhow. Ɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ Hebrifo yi bi ba.”
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?
Abofra no nuabea a na ɔrewɛn no no kɔɔ ɔhene babea no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Menkɔfrɛ Hebrifo mmea no baako na ɔmmɛhwɛ no mma wo ana?”
8 And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
Ɔhene babea no buae se, “Yiw.” Enti, abeawa no tuu mmirika kɔɔ fie kɔfrɛɛ abofra no na de no bae.
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.
Ɔhene babea no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa abofra no kɔ fie na kɔhwɛ no ma me na metua wo ho ka.” Enti ɔde no kɔɔ fie kɔhwɛɛ no.
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.
Onyin kakra no, ɔde no brɛɛ ɔhene babea no ma ogyee no de no yɛɛ ne ba. Ɔkae se, “Mɛto ne din Mose efisɛ miyii no fii nsu mu.”
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.
Mose nyin no, da bi, ɔkɔsraa ne manfo Hebrifo no. Oduu hɔ no, ohuu sɛ ne manfo no reyɛ adwumaden. Nsrahwɛ no mu na Mose huu sɛ Misraimni bi reboro Hebrini a ɔyɛ ne nua.
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.
Mose hwɛɛ ha hwɛɛ ha huu sɛ obiara nni hɔ no, okum Misraimni no tutuu nwea mu de no hyɛɛ hɔ.
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?
Ade kyee no, ɔsan kɔɔ Hebrifo no nsrahwɛ. Oduu hɔ no, na wɔn mu baanu reko. Obisaa nea nʼasɛm nyɛ dɛ no se, “Dɛn na woreyɛ yi a worebobɔ wo nua Hebrini saa?”
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.
Ɔbarima no nso bisaa no se, “Wufi he? Hena na ɔde wo yɛɛ yɛn sodifo ne temmufo? Anaasɛ woayɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobekum me sɛnea nnɛra wukum Misraimni no?” Mose huu sɛ bɔne a wayɛ no ho ada hɔ no, osuroe.
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.
Na Farao nso tee asɛm no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔnkɔfa Mose mmra na wonkum no. Nanso Mose guan kɔɔ Midian asase so. Da bi a Mose kɔtenaa abura bi ho wɔ hɔ no,
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 sɔfo mmabea baason bi baa hɔ sɛ wɔrebɛtow nsu de akɔma wɔn papa nguan.
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.
Nanso nguanhwɛfo bi pampam mmeawa no. Mose begyee wɔn fii nguanhwɛfo no nsam maa mmeawa no nguan no nsu nomee.
18 And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
Wɔsan koduu wɔn agya Reuel nkyɛn no, obisaa wɔn se, “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na nnɛ de, munyaa nsu maa nguan yi nom ntɛm sɛɛ?”
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn agya se, “Misraimni bi na ogyee yɛn fii nguanhwɛfo no nsam. Ɔno ara na ɔtow nsu no maa yɛn nguan no nomee.”
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.
Wɔn agya bisae se, “Na ɔwɔ he? Mugyaw no wɔ hɔ ana? Monkɔfrɛ no na ommedidi.”
21 And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
Mose kɔɔ Reuel frɛ no. Akyiri no, ɔne wɔn kɔtenae, maa Reuel de ne babea Sipora maa no aware.
22 And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
Wɔwoo ɔbabarima maa Mose too no din Gersom, ase ne Ɔhɔho, efisɛ Mose kyerɛ ase se, “Meyɛ ɔhɔho wɔ ananafo asase so.”
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.
Mfe bi akyi no, Misraimhene no wui. Na Israelfo no resi apini wɔ wɔn nkoasom no mu. Enti na wɔresu frɛ Onyankopɔn.
24 And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
Onyankopɔn nso tiee wɔn sufrɛ no, kaee bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ ɔde nʼasefo bɛsan aba Kanaan asase so no.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
Onyankopɔn hwɛ huu sɛ bere adu sɛ ogye wɔn.
