Exodus 2
1 After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.
Te vaengah Levi imkhui lamkah tongpa pakhat te cet tih Levi nu te a loh.
2 And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.
A yuu te vawn tih capa a cun hatah anih tea then la a sawt tih hla thum a thuh.
3 And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river’s brink,
Anih te koep thuh ham a coeng pawt vaengah tah anih ham talik lawng a loh pah tih lungpaat kunhnai neh a hluk. Te phoeiah a khuiah camoe te a khueh tih sokko tuikaeng kah carhaek ding ah a khueh.
4 His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
Anih taengah metla a om khaw ming hamla a ngannu loh a hla lamkah a pai thil.
5 And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,
Te vaengah Pharaoh canu te tui hlu la sokko ah cet tih a hula puei neh sokko lihmoi ah pongpa uh. Tedae carhaek ding kah lawng te a hmuh vaengah a salnu te a tueih tih a loh pah.
6 She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
A ong vaengah camoe te a hmuh tih camoe khaw tarha ana rhap. Te dongah anih ham a thinphat tih, “Hebrew camoe la he,” a ti.
7 And the child’s sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
Te vaengah a ngannu loh Pharaoh canu te, “Ka cet vetih nang ham Hebrew nu te, cakhoem la ka khue eh. Te daengah ni nang ham camoe hang khoem eh?,” a ti nah.
8 She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.
Anih te Pharaoh canu loh, “Cet saw,” a ti nah dongah hula te cet tih camoe manu te a khue pah.
9 And Pharao’s daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter.
Pharaoh canu loh anih te, “Camoe he caeh puei lamtah kai ham han cun, kamah loh na thapang kam paek bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah manu loh camoe te a khuen tih a cun.
10 And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.
Camoe te a pantai phoeiah Pharaoh canu taengla a khuen. Te vaengah a capa la om tih a ming te Moses a sui tih, “Anih he tui dong lamlong ni ka doek,” a ti.
11 In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.
A khohnin loh a pha tih Moses khaw pantai coeng. Te dongah a manuca rhoek taengla pawk tih amih kah bitloh te a hmuh. Te vaengah a manuca Hebrew hlang mai Egypt hlang loh a ngawn pah te a hmuh.
12 And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Tedae heben hebang la a mael akhaw hlang te hmu pawh. Te dongah Egypt te a ngawn tih laivin khuiah a up.
13 And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
A hnin bae dongkah a mop vaengah tah Hebrew hlang rhoi te tarha ana hnuei uh rhoi. Te dongah aka halang te, “Balae tih na hui na ngawn?” a ti nah.
14 But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known?
Te vaengah, “Hlang khaw, Kaimih sokah mangpa neh laitloek la ulong nang ng'khueh, Egypt na ngawn bangla kai ngawn ham na cai nama?” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses loh a rhih coeng tih, “Dumlai khaw phoe taktak coeng,” a ti.
15 And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.
Te ol te Pharaoh loh a yaak vaengah Moses te ngawn ham a mae. Tedae Moses tah Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh yong tih Midian khohmuen ah kho a sak. Te vaengah tuito ah ngol hatah,
16 And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father’s flocks.
Midian khosoih kah a canu parhih te ha pawk uh tih tui a dueh uh. Te phoeiah a napa kah boiva te tul ham tuisoi dongah a loei uh.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.
Te vaengah boiva aka dawn rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta rhoek te a haek uh. Tedae Moses te thoo tih huta rhoek a rhun tih a boiva te tui a tul pah.
18 And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
A napa Reuel taengla a pawk uh vaengah, “Tihnin ah tah balae tih yue na pawk uh,” a ti nah.
19 They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
Te vaengah, “Egypt hlang loh kaimih he boiva aka dawn rhoek kut lamloh n'huul. Te phoeiah tui pataeng kaimih ham han dueh han dueh tih boiva te a tul,” a ti nauh.
20 But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
Te dongah a ca rhoek te, “Melae anih? Balae tih hlang te na hnoo uh? Anih te khue uh lamtah buh ca dae saeh,” a ti nah.
21 And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
Hlang neh khosak ham khaw Moses loh a ueh van coeng dongah a canu Zipporah te Moses taengah a paek.
22 And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
Te vaengah capa a cun pah hatah kholong kho ah yinlai la ka om a ti tih a ming te Gershom a sui.
23 Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.
A tue muep a khum phoeiah tah Egypt manghai khaw duek. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te thohtatnah khui lamloh huei uh tih pang uh. Thohtatnah lamloh a pang uh te Pathen taengla cet.
24 And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Tedae Pathen loh amih kah nguekcoinah te a yaak tih Abraham taengkah, Isaak taengkah, Jakob taengkah a paipi te Pathen loh a poek.
25 And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
Te dongah Pathen loh Israel ca rhoek te a hmuh tih amih te Pathen loh a ming.
