Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Alò, yon mesye lakay Lévi te marye avèk yon fi Lévi.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Fanm nan te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis. Lè l te wè ke li te byen bèl, li te kache li pandan twa mwa.
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.
Men lè li pa t kab kache li ankò, li te pran yon panyen wozo, e li te kouvri li avèk goudwon ak gòm rezen. Konsa, li te mete pitit la ladann, e te plase li pami wozo yo akote lariviyè Nil lan.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Sè li a te kanpe nan yon distans, pou wè kisa ki kab rive li.
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.
Fi a Farawon an te vin desann pou benyen nan Nil lan avèk sèvant li yo e yo t ap mache akote Nil lan. Konsa, li te wè panyen an pami wozo yo. Li te voye sèvant li an pou pote bay li.
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.
Lè li te ouvri li; li te wè pitit la, e gade byen, li t ap kriye. Konsa, li te gen pitye pou li e te di: “Sa se youn nan pitit Ebre yo.”
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?
Epi sè li a te di a fi Farawon an: “Èske mwen ta dwe al chache yon fanm nouris pami fanm Ebre yo pou ou pou l ka ba li tete pou ou?”
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Ale”. Konsa, fi a te al rele manman a pitit la.
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.
Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Pran pitit sa a ale, bay li tete pou mwen e mwen va ba ou salè ou.” Epi fanm nan te pran pitit la e li te bay li tete.
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.
Pitit la te grandi, li te pote li bay fi a Farawon an, li te devni fis li. Li te bay li non Moïse, e li te di: “Akoz ke m te rale li sòti nan dlo a.”
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.
Li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke lè Moïse te fin grandi, li te sòti vè frè li yo, e li te wè fàdo yo. Li te wè yon Ejipsyen ki t ap bat yon Ebre, youn nan frè li yo.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Alò li te gade toupatou e lè l pa t wè pèsòn, li te touye li, e li te kache li nan sab la.
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?
Li te sòti nan pwochen jou a, e gade, de Ebre t ap goumen youn avèk lòt. Li te di a sa ki gen tò a: “Poukisa ou ap frape pwochen ou an?”
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.
Men li te di: “Kilès ki te fè ou prens, oswa jij sou nou? Èske ou gen entansyon vin touye mwen jan ou te touye Ejipsyen an?” Alò konsa Moïse te vin pè. Konsa li te di: “Anverite, afè sa gen tan vin konnen.”
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.
Lè Farawon te tande afè sila a, li te eseye touye Moïse. Men Moïse te sove ale de prezans li, li te vin demere nan peyi Madian, e li te vin chita la akote yon pwi.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Alò, prèt Madian an te gen sèt fi. Yo te vin rale dlo e te ranpli veso yo pou bay bann mouton papa yo dlo.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Bèje yo te vin pouse yo ale, men Moïse te kanpe pou ede fi yo, e te bay bann mouton pa yo bwè.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Lè yo te vin kote Réuel, papa yo, li te di: “Poukisa nou gen tan tounen tèlman vit konsa jodi a?”
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.
Yo te di: “Yon Ejipsyen te delivre nou anba men a bèje yo, e anplis, li te menm rale dlo pou nou e te bay bann mouton an dlo.”
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.
Li te di fi li yo: “Alò, kibò li ye? Poukisa nou te kite mesye sa a dèyè? Envite li vin manje yon bagay.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Moïse te dakò rete avèk mesye a, e li te bay fi li, Séphora a Moïse.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Konsa, li te bay nesans a yon fis e li te nonmen li Guerschom, paske li te di: “Mwen te yon vwayajè nan yon peyi etranje.”
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.
Alò li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke wa Égypte la te mouri. Epi fis Israël yo t ap fè gwo souf e t ap kriye akoz esklavaj la. Alò, kri pa yo akoz esklavaj sila a, te leve rive jwenn Bondye.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Konsa, Bondye te tande plent pa yo, epi Bondye te sonje akò Li avèk Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Bondye te wè fis Israël yo, e Bondye te konprann.
