Exodus 2
1 It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
Ngayon isang lalaki sa lipi ng mga Levi ang nakapag-asawa ng isang babaeng Levi.
2 She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him for three months.
Nabuntis ang babae at nagsilang ng isang anak na lalaki. Nang makita niya na malusog ang bata, itinago niya ito ng tatlong buwan.
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.
Pero nang hindi na siya maitago nila, kumuha siya ng isang basket na papirus at sinelyohan ito ng aspalto at alkitran. Pagkatapos nilagay niya dito ang bata at inilagay ito sa mga tambo sa tubig sa tabi ng ilog.
4 His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on him.
Ang kaniyang kapatid na babae ay nakatayo sa may hindi kalayuan para tingnan kung anong mangyayari sa kaniya.
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.
Ang anak na babae ni Paraon ay nagpunta sa ilog para maligo doon habang naglalakad ang kaniyang mga katulong sa tabing ilog. Nakita niya ang basket kasama ng mga tambo at pinapuntahan niya sa kaniyang katulong para kunin ito.
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.
Nang buksan niya ito, nakita niya ang bata. Masdan ito, ang bata ay umiiyak. Siya ay nahabag sa kaniya at sinabing, “Ito ay tiyak na isa sa mga sanggol ng mga Hebreo.”
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?”
Pagkatapos sinabi ng kapatid na babae ng bata sa anak na babae ni Paraon, “Maaari ba akong pumunta at kumuha ng isang babaeng Hebreo para alagaan ang sanggol para sa iyo?”
8 “Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
Sinabi ng anak na babae ni Paraon sa kaniya, “Pumunta ka”. Kaya nagpunta ang batang babae at kinuha ang ina ng sanggol.
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.
Sinabi ng anak na babae ni Paraon sa ina ng bata, “Kunin mo ang sanggol na ito at alagaan mo siya para sa akin, at bibigyan kita ng mga kabayaran.” Kaya kinuha ng babae ang sanggol at inalagaan siya.
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.”
Nang lumaki na ang sanggol, siya ay dinala niya sa anak na babae ni Paraon, at siya ay naging lalaking anak niya. Pinangalanan niya siyang Moises at sinabing, “Dahil inahon kita mula sa tubig”
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.
Nang lumaki na si Moises, pumunta siya sa kaniyang bayan at inobserbahan ang kanilang mahirap na gawain. Nakita niya ang isang taga-Ehipto na sinasaktan ang isang Hebreo, isa sa kaniyang sariling bayan.
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.
Lumingon siya sa magkabilang banda, at nang makita niya na walang tao doon, pinatay niya ang taga-Ehipto at tinago ang kaniyang katawan sa buhangin.
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?”
Lumabas siya nang sumunod na araw, at, nakita ang dalawang Hebreo na nag-aaway. Sinabi niya sa isang may sala, “Bakit mo sinasaktan ang iyong kasamahan?”
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!”
Pero sinabi ng lalaki “Sino ang gumawa sa iyong pinuno at hatulan kami? Pinaplano mo ba akong patayin gaya ng iyong pagpatay sa taga-Ehipto?” Pagkatapos natakot si Moises at sinabing, “Anuman ang ginawa ko ay tiyak na nalaman ng iba.”
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,
Ngayon nang marinig ni Paraon ang tungkol dito, sinubukan niyang patayin si Moises. Pero tumakas si Moises mula kay Paraon at nanatili sa lupain ng Midian. Umupo siya doon sa tabi ng isang balon.
16 and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
Ngayon ang pari ng Midian ay mayroong pitong anak na babae. Dumating sila, umigib ng tubig, at pinuno ang mga labangan para painumin ang kawan ng kanilang ama.
17 Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.
Dumating ang mga pastol at sinubukang palayasin sila, pero lumapit si Moises at tinulungan sila. Pagkatapos pinainom niya ang kanilang mga kawan.
18 When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”
Nang pumunta ang mga babae kay Reuel na kanilang ama, sinabi niya, “Bakit maaga kayong nakauwi ngayong araw?”
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.”
Sinabi nila, “Tinulungan kami ng isang taga-Ehipto mula sa mga pastol. Ipinag-igib pa nga niya kami ng tubig at pinainom ang mga kawan.”
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!”
Sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga anak na babae, “Kaya nasaan siya? Bakit ninyo iniwan ang lalaki? Tawagin ninyo siya para makasabay natin siyang kumain.”
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
Sumang-ayon si Moises na manatili siya kasama ang lalaki, na binigay rin ang kaniyang anak na babae na si Zipora para mapangasawa.
22 She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
Siya ay nagsilang ng anak na lalaki, at pinangalanan siya ni Moises na Gersom; sinabi niya, “Ako ay naging isang mamamayan sa isang dayuhang lupain.”
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.
Lumipas ang isang mahabang panahon, ang hari ng Ehipto ay namatay. Ang mga Israelita ay dumaing dahil sa kanilang pagkaalipin. Sila ay humingi ng tulong, at ang kanilang daing ay nakarating sa Diyos dahil sa kanilang pagkaalipin.
24 God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Nang marinig ng Diyos ang kanilang mga daing, inalala ng Diyos ang kaniyang tipan kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob.
25 God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
Nakita ng Diyos ang mga Israelita, at naunawaan niya ang kanilang kalagayan.
