Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Neki čovjek od Levijeva koljena ode i oženi se djevojkom Levijkom.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Žena zače i rodi sina. Vidjevši kako je krasan, krila ga je tri mjeseca.
3 But when she could no longer hide him, she tooke for him an arke made of reede, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laide the childe therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the riuers brinke.
Kad ga nije mogla više sakrivati, nabavi košaricu od papirusove trstike, oblijepi je smolom i paklinom, u nju stavi dijete i položi ga u trstiku na obali Rijeke.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Njegova sestra stane podalje da vidi što će s njime biti.
5 Then ye daughter of Pharaoh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her maidens walked by the riuers side: and when shee sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent her maide to fet it.
Faraonova kći siđe k Rijeci da se kupa, dok su njezine sluškinje šetale uz obalu Rijeke. Opazi ona košaricu u trstici, pa pošalje sluškinju da je donese.
6 Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe: and beholde, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and sayde, This is one of the Ebrewes children.
Otvori je i pogleda, a to u njoj dijete! Muško čedo. Plakalo je. Njoj se sažali na nj. “Bit će to hebrejsko dijete”, reče.
7 Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and cal vnto thee a nurce of the Ebrew women to nurce thee the childe?
Onda njegova sestra rekne faraonovoj kćeri: “Hoćeš li da ti potražim dojilju među Hebrejkama da ti dijete doji?”
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
“Idi!” - odgovori joj faraonova kći. Tako djevojka ode i pozove djetetovu majku.
9 To whome Pharaohs daughter sayde, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil reward thee. Then the woman tooke the childe and nurced him.
“Uzmi ovo dijete”, rekne joj faraonova kći, “i odgoji mi ga, a ja ću te plaćati.” Tako žena uzme dijete i othrani ga.
10 Nowe the childe grewe, and she brought him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drewe him out of the water.
Kad je dijete odraslo, ona ga odvede faraonovoj kćeri, koja ga posini. Nadjene mu ime Mojsije, “jer sam ga”, reče, “iz vode izvadila”.
11 And in those dayes, when Moses was growen, he went forth vnto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he sawe an Egyptian smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren.
Jednog dana, kad je Mojsije već odrastao, dođe među svoj narod i vidje njegove muke. Spazi tada kako neki Egipćanin tuče jednoga Hebrejca - brata njegova.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Okrene se tamo-amo i, vidjevši da nikoga nema, ubije Egipćanina i zatrpa ga u pijesak.
13 Againe he came forth the second day, and behold, two Ebrewes stroue: and he said vnto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowe?
Izađe on i sutradan te zateče dva Hebrejca kako se tuku. “Zašto tučeš svoga druga?” - rekne napadaču.
14 And hee answered, Who made thee a man of authoritie, and a iudge ouer vs? Thinkest thou to kill mee, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and sayde, Certainly this thing is knowen.
Ovaj odvrati: “Tko te postavi za starješinu i suca našega? Kaniš li ubiti i mene kako si ubio onog Egipćanina?” Mojsije se uplaši pa će u sebi: “Tako! Ipak se saznalo.”
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the lande of Midian, and hee sate downe by a well.
Kad je faraon to dočuo, htjede Mojsija pogubiti. Zato Mojsije pobjegne od faraona i skloni se u midjansku zemlju. Ondje sjedne kraj nekog studenca.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Midjanski je svećenik imao sedam kćeri. Dođu one da zahvate vode i naliju pojila, da napoje stado svoga oca.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Ali dođu i pastiri te ih potjeraju. Mojsije ustane, obrani ih i stado im napoji.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Kad su se vratile svome ocu Reuelu, on ih zapita: “Kako ste se danas tako brzo vratile?”
19 And they saide, A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the hand of the shepherdes, and also drew vs water ynough, and watered the sheepe.
One odgovore: “Neki Egipćanin obrani nas od pastira i još nam zahvati vode i stado nam napoji.”
20 Then he saide vnto his daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man? call him that he may eate bread.
“Gdje je?” - zapita on svoje kćeri. “Zašto ste ostavile toga čovjeka? Pozovite ga na objed.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Mojsije pristane da ostane kod toga čovjeka. On oženi Mojsija svojom kćeri Siporom.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
A kad ona rodi sina, on mu nadjene ime Geršon, “jer sam”, reče, “stranac u tuđoj zemlji”.
23 Then in processe of time, the King of Egypt dyed, and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cryed: and their crie for the bondage came vp vnto God.
Poslije mnogo vremena umre egipatski kralj. Izraelci su još stenjali u ropstvu. Vapili su, a njihov vapaj za pomoć sred ropstva uzlazio je k Bogu.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Bog je čuo njihovo zapomaganje i sjetio se svoga Saveza s Abrahamom, Izakom i Jakovom.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
I pogleda Bog na Izraelce i zauze se za njih.
