< Exodus 2 >

1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
KII aku la kekahi kanaka o ka ohana a Levi, a lawe ae la i kekahi kaikamahine a Levi.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Hapai ae la ua wahine la, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a ike iho la oia ia ia he maikai, huna iho la oia ia ia ekolu malama.
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.
A i ka wa hiki ole ia ia ke huna hou aku, lawe ae la ia i waa kome nona, a hapala ia mea i ka bitumena a me ke kepau, a hahao iho la i ke keiki maloko; a waiho iho la maloko o na kaluha ma kapa o ka muliwai.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
A ku iho la kona kaikuwahine i kahi mamao aku, e nana i ka mea e hanaia mai ai ia ia.
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.
Iho iho la ke kaikamahine a Parao e auau ma ka muliwai, hele ae la hoi kona mau wahine ma kapa o ka muliwai: a ike aku la kela i ka waa iwaena o na kaluha, hoouna aku la ia i kona wahine e lawe mai.
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.
A wehe aku la ia, alaila ike iho la i ke keiki: aia hoi, uwe ae la ua keiki la. Aloha aku la kela ia ia, i aku la. He keiki keia na ka Hebera.
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?
Alaila, olelo aku la kona kaikuwahine i ke kaikamahine a Parao, E hele hoi ha wau, e kii aku nou i kekahi wahine Hebera i kahu nana e hanai i ke keiki nau?
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, O hele. A hele aku la ke kaikamahine, a kii aku la i ka makuwahine o ua keiki 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.
I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, E lawe oe i keia keiki a e hanai ia ia na'u, a na'u no oe e uku aku. Lawe ae la ua wahine la i ke keiki, a hanai iho la.
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.
A nui ae ua keiki la: a lawe ae la oia ia ia i ke kaikamahine a Parao, a lilo ae la ia i keiki nana. Kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Mose, i iho la ia, No ka mea, ua lawe mai au ia ia mailoko mai o ka wai.
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.
Ia mau la mai, i ko Mose wa kanaka makua, hele aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, nana aku la ia i ko lakou luhi ana; ike aku la ia i kekahi kanaka o Aigupita e pepehi ana i ka Hebera, i kekahi o kona poe hoahanau.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Aloalo ae la ia, a ike iho la, aole kanaka, alaila pepehi iho la ia i ka Aigupita a make, a huna ia ia maloko o ke one.
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?
A i ka lua o ka la, hele hou aku la no ia, aia hoi, elua kanaka Hebera e hakaka ana; i aku la ia i ka mea nona ka hewa, No ke aha la oe e pepehi aku nei i kou hoa?
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.
I mai la kela, Nawai la oe i hoolilo ao nei i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou? Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like mo kou pepehi ana i ka Aigupita? Alaila makau iho la o Mose, i iho la, Oiaio no, ua ikeia koia mea.
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.
A lohe ae la o Parao ia mea, imi iho la ia o pepehi ia Mose. Mahuka aku la o Mose mai ka maka aku o Parao, a noho ma ka aina ma Midiana: a noho iho la ia ilalo ma kekahi luawai.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
He mau kaikamahine ehiku na ke kahuna ma Midiana. Hele mai la lakou a hukihuki i ka wai, a ninini iloko o na holowaa, e hooinu ai i na holoholona a ko lakou makuakane.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Hele mai la kekahi poe kahuhipa, a kipaku ae la ia lakou. Ku ae la o Mose iluna, a kokua ia lakou, a hooinu aku la i ka lakou poe holoholona.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
A hoi aku la lakou ia Reuela i ko lakou makuakane, ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oukou i hoi koke mai ai i koia la?
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.
I aku la lakou, Na kekahi kanaka o Aigupita i hoopakele ae ia makou mai ka lima mai o ka poe kahuhipa, a huki iho la ia i ka wai no makou a nui, a hooinu aku la i na holoholona.
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.
I mai la ia i kana poe kaikamahine, Auhea la hoi ia? No ke aha la oukou i haalele aku ai i ua kanaka la? E kii aku ia ia e ai ia i ka ai.
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
A walea iho la o Mose e noho me ia kanaka, a haawi mai la oia ia Zipora, kana kaikamahine na Mose.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
A hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la ia i kona inoa o Geresoma; no ka mea, i iho la ia, Ua malihini au ma ka aina e.
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.
A nui na la i hala, make ke alii o Aigupita, a kaniuhu iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, no ka luhi loa ana, a uwe aku la lakou; a hiki aku la ko lakou uwe ana i ke Akua no ko lakou luhi.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
A lohe ke Akua i ko lakou uwe ana, a manao iho la ia i kana berita me Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
A nana mai la ke Akua i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a manao mai la ko Akua ia lakou.
