Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
egressus est post haec vir de domo Levi accepta uxore stirpis suae
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
quae concepit et peperit filium et videns eum elegantem abscondit tribus mensibus
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.
cumque iam celare non posset sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam et linivit eam bitumine ac pice posuitque intus infantulum et exposuit eum in carecto ripae fluminis
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
stante procul sorore eius et considerante eventum rei
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.
ecce autem descendebat filia Pharaonis ut lavaretur in flumine et puellae eius gradiebantur per crepidinem alvei quae cum vidisset fiscellam in papyrione misit unam e famulis suis et adlatam
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.
aperiens cernensque in ea parvulum vagientem miserta eius ait de infantibus Hebraeorum est
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?
cui soror pueri vis inquit ut vadam et vocem tibi hebraeam mulierem quae nutrire possit infantulum
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
respondit vade perrexit puella et vocavit matrem eius
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.
ad quam locuta filia Pharaonis accipe ait puerum istum et nutri mihi ego tibi dabo mercedem tuam suscepit mulier et nutrivit puerum adultumque tradidit filiae Pharaonis
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.
quem illa adoptavit in locum filii vocavitque nomen eius Mosi dicens quia de aqua tuli eum
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.
in diebus illis postquam creverat Moses egressus ad fratres suos vidit adflictionem eorum et virum aegyptium percutientem quendam de Hebraeis fratribus suis
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc et nullum adesse vidisset percussum Aegyptium abscondit sabulo
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?
et egressus die altero conspexit duos Hebraeos rixantes dixitque ei qui faciebat iniuriam quare percutis proximum tuum
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.
qui respondit quis constituit te principem et iudicem super nos num occidere me tu dicis sicut occidisti Aegyptium timuit Moses et ait quomodo palam factum est verbum istud
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.
audivitque Pharao sermonem hunc et quaerebat occidere Mosen qui fugiens de conspectu eius moratus est in terra Madian et sedit iuxta puteum
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
erant sacerdoti Madian septem filiae quae venerunt ad hauriendas aquas et impletis canalibus adaquare cupiebant greges patris sui
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
supervenere pastores et eiecerunt eas surrexitque Moses et defensis puellis adaquavit oves earum
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
quae cum revertissent ad Raguhel patrem suum dixit ad eas cur velocius venistis solito
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.
responderunt vir aegyptius liberavit nos de manu pastorum insuper et hausit aquam nobiscum potumque dedit ovibus
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.
at ille ubi est inquit quare dimisistis hominem vocate eum ut comedat panem
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
iuravit ergo Moses quod habitaret cum eo accepitque Sefforam filiam eius
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
quae peperit filium quem vocavit Gersam dicens advena fui in terra aliena
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.
post multum temporis mortuus est rex Aegypti et ingemescentes filii Israhel propter opera vociferati sunt ascenditque clamor eorum ad Deum ab operibus
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
et audivit gemitum eorum ac recordatus foederis quod pepigerat cum Abraham et Isaac et Iacob
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
respexit filios Israhel et cognovit eos
