Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Ŋutsu aɖe si nye Levitɔ la ɖe nyɔnu aɖe si hã nye Levitɔ.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Nyɔnu la fɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi. Esi nyɔnu la kpɔ be ye viŋutsu la dze ɖeka ŋutɔ la, eɣlae ɖe aƒe me ɣleti etɔ̃.
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.
Ke esi wòkpɔ be yemagate ŋu aɣlae wòadidi wu nenema o la, etsɔ aƒla lɔ̃ kusi, eye wòsi aŋɔ ɖe eme ale be tsi mate ŋu age ɖe eme o. Ekɔ ɖevi la mlɔ kusi la me, eye wòtsɔe ɣla ɖe aƒla siwo le Nil tɔsisi la to la me.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Ena vidzĩ la nɔvinyɔnu nɔ adzɔge vie ale be wòakpɔ nu si ava dzɔ ɖe ɖevi la dzi.
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.
Nu si va dzɔe nye be Fia Farao ƒe vinyɔnu, va tsi le ge le Nil tɔsisi la me. Esi eya kple eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo nɔ zɔzɔm le tɔsisi la to la, ekpɔ kusi la le aƒlawo me. Edɔ eƒe dɔlanyɔnuawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖa be wòakɔe vɛ.
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.
Eʋu kusi la, eye wòkpɔ vidzĩ la le eme! Ɖevi la nɔ avi fam, nu sia wɔ dɔ ɖe fiavinyɔnu la dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Ɖevi sia nye Hebri ŋutsuviawo dometɔ ɖeka.”
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?
Vidzĩ la nɔvinyɔnu te ɖe fiavinyɔnu la ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Mayi ɖayɔ Hebri nyɔnuawo dometɔ ɖeka wòanyi ɖevi sia na wòa?”
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Fiavinyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, yi!” Ale nyɔnuvi la ƒu du yi aƒe me, eye wòyɔ vidzĩa dadaa vɛ!
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.
Fiavinyɔnu la gblɔ na vidzĩa dadaa be, “Kɔ vidzĩ sia yi aƒe me, na noe nam, eye maxe fe si adze ŋuwò la na wò!” Ale vidzĩ la dada kɔe yi aƒe me, eye wòkpɔ edzi nyuie.
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.
Esi ɖevi la tsi la, dadaa kɔe yi na Farao ƒe vinyɔnu la, eye wòzu Via ŋutsuvi. Ena ŋkɔe be Mose, si gɔmee nye “Tɔ mee woɖee tsoe,” elabena egblɔ be tsi mee yeɖee tsoe.
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.
Esi Mose tsi, eye wòzu ɖekakpui la, eɖi tsa gbe ɖeka be yeakpɔ ye nɔvi Hebritɔwo ɖa. Ekpɔ fuwɔame kple teteɖeanyi si te wonɔ. Ekpɔ Egiptetɔ aɖe wòƒo nɔvia Hebritɔ aɖe ƒu anyi.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Mose tsa ŋku mlamlamla be yeaka ɖe edzi be ame aɖeke menɔ ye kpɔm o. Ewu Egiptetɔ la, eye wòɖii ɖe ke me.
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?
Ke esi ŋu ke la, Mose gaɖi tsa be yeaɖakpɔ ye nɔvi Hebritɔwo ɖa. Ekpɔ Hebritɔ eve wonɔ kɔ dam, eye wòbia ame si di ge la be, “Nu kae nye esi wɔm nèle, hele wò ŋutɔ nɔviwò Hebritɔ ƒom ale?”
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.
Ŋutsu sia biae be, “Ame kae ɖo wò fia kple ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ɖe mía nu? Ɖe nèle didim be yeawu nye hã abe ale si nèwu Egiptetɔ ma etsɔ enea?” Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Mose, elabena ebu xaa be, “Ɖewohĩ nu si mewɔ la le nyanya me na amewo.”
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.
Farao se nya la, eye wòɖe gbe be woalée, awui. Ke Mose si le Farao nu yi ɖe Midianyigba dzi, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe vudo aɖe to.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Ɖetugbi adre, ame siwo nye Midian nunɔla ƒe vinyɔnuwo la va be yewoaku tsi ana yewo fofo ƒe alẽha.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Ke alẽkplɔla aɖewo va nya wo. Ale Mose tsi tsitre va xɔ na wo, eye wòna tsi woƒe alẽhawo.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Esi ɖetugbiawo trɔ yi aƒe me la, wo fofo, Reuel bia wo be, “Nu kae na miekpɔ tsi na alẽwo egbe ya kaba nenema?”
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.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Egiptetɔ aɖee xɔ mí le alẽkplɔla mawo ƒe asi me, eye wòku tsi na míaƒe alẽhawo.”
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.
Wo fofo gblɔ na wo be, “Nu ka ta miegblẽe ɖe afi ma ɖo? Miyi miakplɔe vɛ wòaɖu nu kpli mí.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Mose xɔ Reuel ƒe kpekpe la, eye wòlɔ̃ be yeanɔ egbɔ. Reuel tsɔ via si woyɔna be Zipora la nɛ wòɖe.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Wodzi ŋutsuvi ɖeka si wona ŋkɔe be Gersom si gɔmee nye “Amedzro,” elabena Mose gblɔ be, “Amedzroe menye le dzronyigba dzi.”
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.
Le ƒe aɖewo megbe la, Egipte fia la ku. Israelviwo nɔ konyi fam henɔ hũu ɖem le woƒe kɔkutiwo te le woƒe kluvinyenye ta, eye wonɔ avi fam vevie le Mawu ŋkume. Woƒe avifafa ɖo Mawu gbɔ le dziƒo.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Mawu se woƒe konyifafa, eye wòɖo ŋku eƒe ŋugbedodo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Ale Mawu kpɔ Israelviwo ƒe nublanui, eye wòtsɔ ɖe le eme na wo.
