< Exodus 2 >

1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
Ó sì ṣe, ọkùnrin ará ilé Lefi kan fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ará Lefi kan ni ìyàwó.
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
Obìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Nígbà tí ó rí í pé ọmọ náà rẹwà, ó gbé ọmọ náà pamọ́ fún oṣù mẹ́ta.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí kò le è gbé e pamọ́ mọ́, ó fi ewé papirusi hun apẹ̀rẹ̀, ó sì fi ọ̀dà àti òjé igi sán apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà. Ó sì tẹ́ ọmọ náà sínú rẹ̀, ó sì gbe é sí inú eèsún ni etí odò Naili.
4 And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
Arábìnrin rẹ̀ dúró ni òkèèrè láti wo ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ náà.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin Farao sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí etí odò Naili láti wẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń rìn ni etí bèbè odò. Ó sì ri apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà ni àárín eèsún, ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin kan láti lọ gbé e wá,
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.
ó ṣí i, ó sì rí ọmọ náà. Ọmọ náà ń sọkún, àánú ọmọ náà sì ṣe é. Ó wí pé, “Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Heberu ni èyí.”
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?
Nígbà náà ni arábìnrin rẹ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọmọbìnrin Farao pé, “Ṣé kí èmi lọ wá ọ̀kan lára àwọn obìnrin Heberu wá fún ọ láti bá ọ tọ́jú ọmọ náà?”
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; lọ.” Arábìnrin náà sì lọ, ó sì pe ìyá ọmọ náà wá.
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.
Ọmọbìnrin Farao sì wí fún un pé, “Gba ọmọ yìí kí o sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò san owó iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ fún ọ.” Ọmọbìnrin náà sì gbé ọmọ náà lọ, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó mú un tọ ọmọbìnrin Farao wá, ó sì di ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Mose, ó wí pé, “Nítorí tí mo fà á jáde nínú omi.”
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.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí Mose ti dàgbà, ó jáde lọ sí ibi ti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wà, ó ń wò wọ́n lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ líle wọn, ó ri ará Ejibiti tí ń lu ará Heberu, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
Ó wo ìhín, ó wo ọ̀hún, nígbà tí kò rí ẹnìkankan, ni ó bá pa ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì bò ó mọ́ inú iyanrìn.
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?
Ní ọjọ́ kejì, ó jáde lọ, ó rí àwọn ará Heberu méjì tí wọ́n ń jà. Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ èyí tí ó jẹ̀bi pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lu Heberu arákùnrin rẹ?”
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.
Ọkùnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ta ni ó fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́ lórí wa? Ṣé ìwọ fẹ́ pa mí bí o ti pa ará Ejibiti?” Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀rù ba Mose, ó sì wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni ọ̀ràn yìí ti di mí mọ̀.”
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.
Nígbà ti Farao sì gbọ́ nípa èyí, ó wá ọ̀nà láti pa Mose, ṣùgbọ́n Mose sá kúrò ní àrọ́wọ́tó o Farao, ó lọ sí Midiani láti máa gbé, nígbà tí ó dé bẹ̀, ó jókòó ni ẹ̀bá a kànga kan.
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.
Ó sì ṣe, àlùfáà Midiani kan ni àwọn ọmọbìnrin méje, wọn sì wá láti pọn omi kún ọpọ́n ìmumi fún ẹran ọ̀sìn baba wọn.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
Àwọn darandaran kan wá, wọ́n sì lé wọn sẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n Mose dìde láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ àti láti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ láti fún ẹran wọn ní omi.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
Nígbà ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Reueli baba wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tètè dé ni òní?”
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.
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Ará Ejibiti kan ni ó gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran, ó tilẹ̀ ràn wá lọ́wọ́ láti fa omi àti láti fún agbo ẹran ní omi.”
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.
Ó sọ fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, “Níbo ni ó wà? Èéṣe ti ẹ fi fi ọkùnrin náà sílẹ̀? Ẹ pè é wá jẹun.”
21 And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Mose gbà láti dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí o fi Sippora, ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún Mose láti fi ṣe aya.
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
Ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gerṣomu, ó wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
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;
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ọba Ejibiti kú. Àwọn ará Israẹli ń kérora ní oko ẹrú wọn, wọ́n ń ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ nítorí oko ẹrú tí wọ́n wà, igbe wọ́n sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
24 and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Ọlọ́run gbọ́ igbe wọn, Ó sì rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Isaaki àti pẹ̀lú Jakọbu.
25 and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run bojú wo àwọn ará Israẹli, Ó sì wà láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
