< Exodus 2 >

1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
Odšel je mož iz Lévijeve hiše in za ženo vzel Lévijevo hčer.
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
Ženska je spočela in rodila sina in ko je videla, da je bil čeden otrok, ga je skrivala tri mesece.
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.
Ko pa ga ni mogla več skrivati, je zanj vzela pletenico iz ločja, jo namazala z blatom in s smolo in vanjo položila otroka in to položila v rogoz poleg rečnega brega.
4 And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
Njegova sestra pa je stala daleč stran, da izve kaj se bo z njim zgodilo.
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.
In dol je prišla faraonova hči, da se pri reki umije, njene služabnice pa so hodile vzdolž rečnega brega in ko je med rogozom zagledala pletenico, je poslala svojo služabnico, da odide ponjo.
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.
Ko jo je ta odprla, je zagledala otroka in glej, dojenček je jokal. Do njega je imela sočutje ter rekla: »To je eden izmed hebrejskih otrok.«
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?
Potem je njegova sestra rekla faraonovi hčeri: »Ali naj grem in k tebi pokličem dojiljo izmed hebrejskih žensk, da bo lahko otroka dojila zate?«
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
Faraonova hči ji je rekla: »Pojdi.« Deklica je odšla in poklicala otrokovo mater.
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.
Faraonova hči ji je rekla: »Odnesi tega otroka proč in ga dôji zame, jaz pa ti bom dajala tvoja plačila.« In ženska je vzela otroka ter ga dojila.
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.
Otrok je zrastel in privedla ga je k faraonovi hčeri in ta je postal njen sin. Njegovo ime je imenovala Mojzes. Rekla je: »Ker sem ga potegnila iz vode.«
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.
Pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, ko je Mojzes odrasel, da je odšel k svojim bratom, gledal na njihova bremena in oprezal za Egipčanom, ki je udarjal Hebrejca, enega izmed njegovih bratov.
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.
Pogledal je to pot in tisto pot in ko je videl, da tam ni bilo nobenega človeka, je Egipčana usmrtil in ga skril v pesek.
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?
Ko je drug dan odšel ven, glej, dva moža izmed Hebrejcev sta se skupaj prepirala in temu, ki je storil napačno, je rekel: »Čemu udarjaš svojega rojaka?«
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.
Ta pa je rekel: »Kdo te je naredil princa in sodnika nad nama? Ali me nameravaš ubiti, kakor si ubil Egipčana?« Mojzes se je zbal ter rekel: »Ta stvar se je zagotovo izvedela.«
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.
Torej, ko je faraon slišal to stvar, je iskal Mojzesa, da ga ubije. Mojzes pa je pobegnil izpred faraonovega obličja in prebival v midjánski deželi in se usedel poleg vodnjaka.
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.
Torej duhovnik iz Midjána je imel sedem hčera in prišle so, zajele vodo in napolnile korita, da bi napojile trop svojega očeta.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
Prišli pa so pastirji ter jih odgnali proč, toda Mojzes je vstal, jim pomagal in napojil njihov trop.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
Ko so prišle k svojemu očetu Reguélu, je rekel: »Kako je to, da ste danes prišle tako zgodaj?«
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.
Rekle so: »Egipčan nas je osvobodil iz roke pastirjev in nam prav tako zajel dovolj vode in napojil trop.«
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.
Svojim hčeram je rekel: »In kje je? Zakaj je to, da ste človeka pustile? Pokličite ga, da bo lahko jedel kruh.«
21 And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Mojzes je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva s človekom in ta je Mojzesu dal svojo hčer Cipóro.
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
Rodila mu je sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Geršóm, kajti rekel je: »Tujec sem bil v tuji deželi.«
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;
Pripetilo se je tekom časa, da je egiptovski kralj umrl, Izraelovi otroci pa so vzdihovali zaradi razloga suženjstva in vpili in njihovo vpitje je zaradi razloga suženjstva prišlo do Boga.
24 and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Bog je slišal njihovo stokanje in Bog se je spomnil svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom.
25 and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
Bog je pogledal na Izraelove otroke in Bog je imel do njih spoštovanje.
