Exodus 2
1 It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
Ie amy zao, nañenga ty anak’ ampela’ i Levy t’indaty boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Levy.
2 She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him for three months.
Niareñe i rakembay, nitoly ana-dahy, le nioni’e te soa i ajajamenay vaho naeta’e telo volañe.
3 But when she couldn't hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Aa ie tsy nahafañetak’ aze ka, le nangala’e vakoa-vinda naho nipakora’e mozòtse naho lite-laka vaho najo’e ao i anak’ ajajay vaho natsorofo’e am-binda añolon-drano ey.
4 His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on him.
Nijohañe ey ty zoke’e ampela nisamba ze hanoañe aze.
5 Then Pharaoh's daughter arrived to bathe in the Nile. Her ladies-in-waiting were walking along the bank of the river. When she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it and bring it to her.
Nizotso mb’an-tsaka mb’eo amy zao ty anak’ ampela’ i Parò hiandro, le nijelanjelañe añ’olotse ey o somondrara’eo. Aa naho nitrea’e añate-vinda ao i vakoay le nirahe’e hangalak’ aze ty mpitoro’e ampela,
6 When she opened it she saw the baby boy. He was crying and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew boys,” she said.
vaho sinoka’e le nahaisake i anak’ ajajay. Nitañy i ajajamenay vaho niferenaiña’e, ami’ty hoe: Toe anan-te-Evre toke.
7 His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, “Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?”
Le hoe i rahavave’ey amy ana’ i Paròy, Akore t’ie añitrifako mpampinono amo rakemba nte-Evreo hampinono i ajajay?
8 “Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
Akia, hoe i anak’ ampela’ i Paròy; aa le nimb’eo i ajajampelay nitoka ty rene’ i ajajay.
9 “Take this baby boy and nurse him for me,” she told his mother. “I will pay you myself.” So his mother took him home and nursed him.
Hoe i ana’ i Paròy ama’e, Endeso ty ajaja toy le ampinonò ho ahiko vaho ho tambezeko irehe. Aa le nendese’ i rakembay i anak’ ajajay vaho nampinonoe’e.
10 When the boy was older she took him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son. She called him Moses, because she said, “I pulled him out of the water.”
itombo i ajajay le nendese’e mb’amy anak’ampela’ i Paròy añe vaho rinambe’e ho ana-dahi’e. Natao’e Mosè ty añara’e amy ty hoe, Tinariko boak’an-drano.
11 Later, when Moses had grown up, he went to visit his people, the Hebrews. He saw them doing hard labor. He also saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
Ie te indraik’ andro naho fa niañoñ’ ay t’i Mosè, le niakatse mb’ am’ ondati’eo nahaoniñe ty nijinia’iareo naho nioni’e ty nte-Mitsraime namofoke ty nte-Evre, raik’ amo longo’eo.
12 He looked all around to make sure no one was watching, and then he killed the Egyptian and buried his body in the sand.
Nijilojilo mb’ etia mb’ eroy, aa ie tsy nahatrea ondaty, le nañohofa’e loza i nte-Mitsraimey vaho naeta’e am-paseñe ao.
13 The following day he went back and he saw two Hebrews fighting with each other. He said to the one at fault, “Why are you beating one of your own people?”
Ie niakatse mb’eo naho loak’ andro le nanjo ty nte-Evre roe nifandrapake ty aly, le hoe re ami’ty aman-kakeo, Ino ty andafà’o o longo’oo?
14 “Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
Le hoe re. Ia ty nañoriñ’ azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Hañe-doza amako ka hao irehe manahake i namonoa’o i nte-Mitsraimeiy? Nihembañ’ amy zao t’i Mosè nitsakore ty hoe, Toe nirendreke i rahay.
15 When Pharaoh found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. One day as he was sitting by a well,
Jinanji’ i Parò, le nipay ty hañe-doza amy Mosè. Le nibioñe ami’ty tarehe’ i Parò t’i Mosè, noly mb’an-tane Midiane añe vaho niambesatse am-bovoñe eo.
16 and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
Aman-anak’ ampela fito ty mpisoro’ i Midiane. Nimb’ eo iereo nitari-drano nañatsake o dabaogao hampinomeñe ty lia-rain-drae’e.
17 Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.
Pok’eo amy zao o mpiarak’ añondrio nanao soike iareo. Niongake t’i Mosè le rinomba’e le nampinome’e i lia-rai’iareoy.
18 When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”
Ie nimpoly mb’an-drae’e Reoele mb’eo le hoe re, Ino ty nampasika ty fimpoli’ areo androany?
19 “An Egyptian rescued us from some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”
Hoe iereo, Nañolots’ anay amo mpiarak’ añondrio ty nte-Mitsraime vaho nitariha’e rano mbore nampinome’e i lia-raikey.
20 “So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
Hoe re amo anak’ ampela’eo, Aia re? Ino ty nienga’ areo indatiy? Ambarao hikama.
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
Niantofa’ i Mosè t’ie holy amy ‘ndatiy vaho natolo’e amy Mosè t’i Tsiporàe anak’ ampela’e ho vali’e.
22 She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
Nahatoly ana-dahy ho aze re vaho natao’e Geresòme, ami’ty hoe, Renetane iraho mañialo an-tanen’ ambahiny.
23 Years later, the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still groaning under their hard labor. Their cries for help because of their hardship reached God.
Ie roñoñe añe, nihomake i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey naho nampiselekaiñe o ana’ Israeleo i fandrohizañey, le nirohadrohake vaho nionjoñe mb’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amy fitromahañey ty fitoreo’ iareo.
24 God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Jinanjin’ Añahare ty toreo’ iareo vaho nitiahin’ Añahare i fañìna’e amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsàke vaho am’ Iakòbey.
25 God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
Nivazohon’ Añahare o ana’ Israeleo vaho nihaoñen’ Andrianañahare.
