Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa nyũmba ya Lawi nĩahikirie mũtumia wa mũhĩrĩga wa Alawii,
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara kahĩĩ. Rĩrĩa onire kaarĩ kaana gathaka-rĩ, agĩkahitha nyũmba mĩeri ĩtatũ.
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.
No rĩrĩa aaremirwo nĩgũkahitha rĩngĩ-rĩ, agĩgathondekera gĩkabũ gĩa ithanjĩ na agĩgĩthinga na rami. Agĩcooka agĩkomia kaana kau thĩinĩ wakĩo, agĩkahitha mathanjĩ-inĩ kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Nili.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau aarũgamaga haraaya nĩguo one ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgakora.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩ wa Firaũni agĩikũrũka Nili nĩguo agethambe, nacio ndungata ciake ciaceerangaga kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ rũu. Nake akĩona gĩkabũ kĩu kũu ithanjĩ-inĩ, na agĩtũma ngombo yake ya mũirĩtu ĩkĩgĩĩre.
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.
Agĩkunũra gĩkabũ kĩu na akĩona kaana kau. Agĩkaiguĩra tha tondũ nĩkarĩraga. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gaka nĩ kaana kamwe ga twana twa Ahibirania.”
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?
Nake mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau akĩũria mwarĩ wa Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ngacarie mũtumia ũmwe Mũhibirania akũrerere kaana gaka?”
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, thiĩ.” Nake mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ, akĩgĩĩra nyina wa kaana kau.
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.
Mwarĩ wa Firaũni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya kaana gaka ũkanderere, nĩndĩrĩkũrĩhaga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtumia ũcio akĩoya kaana kau agĩkarera.
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.
Rĩrĩa kaana kau gaakũrire-rĩ, agĩgatwarĩra mwarĩ wa Firaũni nako gagĩtuĩka ta mũriũ. Agĩgeeta Musa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ ndakarutire maaĩ-inĩ.”
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.
Thuutha wa Musa gũtuĩka mũndũ mũgima-rĩ, mũthenya ũmwe nĩathiire gũceera harĩa andũ ao maarĩ, nake akĩmabaara makĩrutithio wĩra na hinya. Ningĩ akĩona Mũmisiri akĩhũũra Mũhibirania, ũmwe wa andũ ake mwene.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Nake acũthĩrĩria mĩena yothe na ndone mũndũ-rĩ, akĩũraga Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũthika mũthanga-inĩ.
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?
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ akiumagara na akĩona Ahibirania eerĩ makĩrũa. Akĩũria ũrĩa wogitanĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũraringa Mũhibirania wanyu nĩkĩ?”
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.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wagũtuire mwathi na mũtuithania wa maciira maitũ? Anga nĩũreciiria kũnjũraga o ta ũrĩa ũrooragire Mũmisiri?” Nake Musa agĩĩtigĩra na agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ndĩrekire no nginya ũkorwo nĩũmenyekete.”
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.
Rĩrĩa Firaũni aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akĩgeria kũũragithia Musa, nowe Musa akĩũrĩra Firaũni agĩthiĩ gũtũũra Midiani, kũrĩa aikarire thĩ hakuhĩ na gĩthima.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Na rĩrĩ, Jethero mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Midiani aarĩ na airĩtu ake mũgwanja, nao magĩũka gũtaha maaĩ na kũiyũria mĩharatĩ manyuithie rũũru rwa mbũri rwa ithe wao.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Arĩithi amwe nĩmookire na makĩingata airĩtu acio, no Musa agĩũkĩra, akĩmateithũra na akĩhe ũhiũ wao maaĩ.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Rĩrĩa airĩtu acio maainũkire kũrĩ ithe wao Reueli-rĩ, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũcooke narua ũguo ũmũthĩ?”
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.
Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũmisiri ũmwe nĩatũteithũrire kũrĩ arĩithi; o na nĩwe ũtũtahĩire maaĩ na atũheera mbũri ciitũ maaĩ.”
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.
Jethero akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na akĩrĩ kũ?” “Mũmũtigire nĩkĩ? Thiĩi mũmwĩte, oke arĩĩanĩre na ithuĩ.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Nake Musa agĩĩtĩkĩra gũikara kwa mũndũ ũcio, nake akĩmũhe mwarĩ wetagwo Zipora amũhikie.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Zipora agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, nake Musa agĩgeeta Gerishomu, tondũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Nduĩkĩte mũgeni bũrũri wene.”
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.
Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya-rĩ, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩakuire. Andũ a Isiraeli magĩcaaya nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo, na makĩrĩrĩra Ngai; nakĩo kĩrĩro kĩao atĩ mateithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo gĩgĩkinyĩra Ngai.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Nake Ngai akĩigua gũcaaya kwao nake akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩona gũtangĩka kwa andũ a Isiraeli, nake akĩrũmbũiya ũhoro wao.
