Exodus 2
1 After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.
Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
2 And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.
и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
3 And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.
и понеже не можаху его ктому крыти, взя ему мати его ковчежец ситовый и помаза и клеем и смолою, и вложи отроча в него, и положи его в лучице при реце:
4 His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.
и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
5 Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,
Сниде же дщерь фараонова измытися на реку, и рабыни ея прохождаху при реце. И видевши ковчежец в лучице, пославши рабыню, взя и.
6 she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”
Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
7 And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”
И рече сестра его дщери фараонове: хощеши ли, призову ти жену кормилицу от Еврей, и воздоит ти отроча?
8 She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.
И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
9 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.
Рече же к ней дщерь фараонова: соблюди ми отроча сие и воздой ми е: аз же дам ти мзду. Взя же отроча жена и дояше е.
10 And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from the water.”
Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
11 In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.
Бысть же во дни многия оны, велик быв Моисей, изыде к братиям своим, сыном Израилевым. Разумев же болезнь их, виде человека Египтянина биюща некоего Евреанина от братии его сынов Израилевых.
12 And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
13 And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
14 But he responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become known?”
Он же рече: кто тя постави князя и судию над нами? Еда убити мя ты хощеши, имже образом убил еси вчера Египтянина? Убояся же Моисей и рече: аще сице явлен бысть глагол сей?
15 And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
Услыша же фараон глагол сей и искаше убити Моисеа. Отиде же Моисей от лица фараонова и вселися в земли Мадиамстей: пришед же в землю Мадиамскую седе при кладязе.
16 Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.
Священнику же Мадиамскому беша седмь дщерей, пасущих овцы отца своего Иофора: пришедшя же черпаху, дондеже наполниша корыта, напоити овцы отца своего Иофора.
17 The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
Пришедше же пастырие изгнаша я. Востав же Моисей избави их, и налия им и напои овцы их.
18 And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”
Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
19 They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”
Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
20 But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
Он же рече дщерем своим: и где есть? И вскую сице остависте человека? Призовите убо его, да яст хлеб.
21 Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
22 And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”
Во чреве же заченши жена роди сына, и нарече Моисей имя ему Гирсам, глаголя: яко пришлец есмь в земли чуждей. Еще же заченши роди сына втораго, и нарече имя ему Елиезер, глаголя: Бог бо отца моего помощник мой и избави мя из руки фараоновы.
23 In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
По днех же многих тех, умре царь Египетский, и возстенаша сынове Израилевы от дел и возопиша, и взыде вопль их к Богу от дел.
24 And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
25 And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
