< Exodus 2 >

1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
Hiche phatlai hin, Levi insung'a kon pasal khat leh Levi insungmi numei khat ma aki cheng lhon tan ahi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
Numeinu chu ahung gaijin chapa khat ahing tai. Amanun achapa chu aven ahile lunglhai umtah naosen ahin, lhathum sung'in asel tan ahi.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid [it] in the sedge on the bank of the river.
Ahivang'in amanun achapa chu asel joulou phat in, sinkhup Pyparus naang'a kisa khat agalan twilut na lou ding'in avonglai jouse ahubit sohkeiye. Chuin sinkhup sung'a naocha chu akhum'in Nile Vadung pang phaipheng lah achun alha lut tai.
4 And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
Chuin naosen unu jong gamlha thim'a kon'in ading'in naosen chu i-atidem tin agalvet in ahi.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the river; and her maids went along by the river's side. And she saw the ark in the midst of the sedge, and sent her handmaid and fetched it.
Chu jouvin Pharaoh chanu vadung'a kisil ding'in ahung suh tan, asot tolle hojong vadung pang achun avah le uvin ahi. Chuin amanun phaipheng phung lah a sinkhup chu ahin mudoh tan, aga la din asoh nu chu asol tan ahi.
6 And she opened [it], and saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.
Lengpa chanun jong sinkhup chu ahongdoh in ahile, naocha chu amu in ahi. Chu-in naocha chu akap'in, amanun jong naocha chu avoujang natpi lheh in, “Hiche hi Hebrew mite cha khat hitei ding ahi,” ati.
7 And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a wet-nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
Hichun naosen sopinun jong Lengpa chanu heng ahin naijin. “Keima kache a Hebrew numei khat naosen don ding kagahol peh ding ham?” tin adong'e.
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
Lengpa chanu in jong, “Henge, gapui jin!” tin adonbut in, numeinu jong ache-in naosen hingnu mama chu aga puiye.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
Chuin lengpa chanu'n jong naosen hingnu jah'a aseijin. “Naosen hi lanlang neidon peh'in, Keiman na don man ka peh ding nahi,” ati. Chuin numeinu in jong naosen chu a-inlam'a adom'in amapa chu adon tan ahi.
10 And when the child was grown, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Khonung'in, chapang pa jong akhang len tan ahile, anu in amapa chu Pharaoh chanu henga ahung thah tan, amapa chu lengpa chanu chapa in ahung pang tai. Lengpa chanu in amapa chu amin Mose asah tai, ajeh chu amanun aseijin, “kei man amapa hi twi lah a kon kaloidoh ahi,” ati.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Kum phabep ache nung in, Mose jong ahung khang lentan, amapa jong asopiho vil din ache toutan, aman jong asopi Hebrew mite hunam'a na atohsah nau aga mudoh tai. Agavil pet chun, Egypt mikhat in asopi Hebrew mikhat chung'a akhut alha chu amu paijin ahi.
12 And he turned this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Akimvel avet a koima eive poi ti aphot chen phat in, Mose'n Egypt mipa chu athat in neldi lah a asel tan ahi.
13 And he went out on the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why art thou smiting thy neighbour?
Ajing nikho in, asopi ho vildin Mose apot doh kit tan ahile, Hebrew mini akinah lhon aga amun ahi. “Ipi jeh a na golpa navoh ham?” tin kinah hin panpa heng'a chun Mose'n aseiye.
14 And he said, Who made thee ruler and judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared, and said, Surely the matter is known.
Amapan adonbut in, “Koiham nangma keiho chunga leng'a na pansah le thutan ding'a thaneina nape? Janhi a Egypt mipa natha banga chu keima jong tha ding neigot ham?” tin aseiyin ahileh, Mose jong akichan “Ka thil bol mijousen ahetai.” tin angai ton ahi.”
15 And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat by the well.
Mose thilbol chu Pharaoh in ahin jadoh tahbeh tan, chuin amapan Mose chu tha ding ago tan ahi. Ahivang'in Mose jong Pharaoh angsung'a kon'in ajam'in Median gamsung'a chengdin ache tai. Median alhun chun Mose jong twikul pang'a atou tan ahi.
16 And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs, to water their father's flock.
Tun Median thempupa chun chanu sagi aneiyin amaho chengse chu apau ganchahon ho ding'in twi kongho chu athal ngai bang'un ahung thal dim'un ahi.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
Ahinlah kelngoi ching midang phabep ahung'uvin amaho chu anodoh un ahi. Hichun Mose jong achomdoh jeng'in kelngoi ching hoa kon chun numei chapang ho chu ahuhdoh tan ahi. Chuin amapan amaho ganchate a ding twi chu athal peh tan ahi.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
Numei chapang ho chu apau Reuel heng ale lhun uchun, amapan adong un, “Ipi jeh-a tuni nahung kimale uham?” ati'in ahile,
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] abundantly for us, and watered the flock.
amahon jong adonbut uvin, “Egypt mi khat in kelngoi ching hoa kon'a eihuhdoh uva, chule amapa chun keiho ding le igancha hon houva ding twi eithal peh jeh'u ahi,” atiuve.
20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why then have ye left the man behind? Call him, that he may eat bread.
“Ahile amapa hoiba ham?” tin apauvin adong'in, “ipi ding'a amapa chu chukom'a chu nahin dalhah uham? Ahung'a ankong isokhom diuvin gakouvun,” ati.
21 And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Mose'n jong akounau chu asanpeh in, lengpa toh chun hiva chun acheng khom tan ahi. Hiche phatlai chun, Reuel'in achanu Zipporah chu Mose ji ding in ape tan ahi.
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
Phat chomkhat jouvin, amanun chapa khat ahing'in, Mose'n Gershom asah tai “Ajeh chu keima hi gamchom beh'a khopem kahi,” tina ahi.
23 And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage;
Kum phabep ache nung in, Egypt lengpa athitan ahi. Hinlah Israelte chu soh kihen ohna noiya pohgih poa khoisa jing nalai ahiuve. Panpi ngaiyin akap un, aka awgin'u chu Pathen angsung alhung tan ahi.
24 and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Akhoisat nau Pathen in aja tan, chuin Abraham, Isaac leh Jacob heng'a akitepna ahin geldoh tan ahi.
25 and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
Aman Israel mite chu avesuh in, chuin tunvang toh phat ahitai ti chu ahe tan ahi.
