Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Awo olwatuuka omusajja ow’omu kika kya Leevi, n’agenda n’awasa omukazi, nga naye Muleevi.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Omukazi oyo n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi; naye bwe yalaba nga mwana alabika obulungi ennyo, n’amukwekera emyezi esatu.
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.
Naye bwe yatuusa ekiseera nga takyasobola kumukweka, n’amufunira ekibaya eky’ebitoogo, n’akisiigako ebitosi ne koolaasi; omwana n’amuteeka omwo, n’akissa mu bitoogo ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Mwannyina w’omwana n’ayimiriranga nga yeesuddeko akabanga, alabe ebinaamutuukangako.
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.
Awo muwala wa Falaawo n’aserengeta ku mugga Kiyira okunaaba; abaweereza be abawala ne batambulira ku lubalama lw’omugga; muwala wa Falaawo n’alaba ekibaya mu bitoogo, n’atuma omu ku bawala okukikima, n’akireeta.
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.
Bwe yakisaanukulako, n’alabamu omwana. Omwana yali akaaba, n’amusaasira nnyo, n’agamba nti, “Ono y’omu ku baana abawere aba Baebbulaniya.”
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?
Awo mwannyina w’omwana n’asembera, n’agamba muwala wa Falaawo nti, “Ŋŋende nkuyitire omulezi w’abaana Omwebbulaniya ajje akumulerere?”
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Muwala wa Falaawo n’amuddamu nti, “Kale, genda.” Omuwala mwannyina w’omwana oyo bwe yagenda, yaleeta nnyina wa mwana!
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.
Muwala wa Falaawo n’agamba nnyina w’omwana nti, “Twala omwana ono omunderere, nnaakusasulanga.” Omukazi oyo n’atwala omwana n’amulera.
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.
Omwana bwe yakula, n’amutwalira muwala wa Falaawo, n’afuuka omwana wa muwala wa Falaawo. N’amutuuma erinnya Musa, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga namuggya mu mazzi.”
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.
Awo olwatuuka, Musa ng’amaze okukula, n’agendako mu bantu be Abaebbulaniya, n’alaba emirimu emikakanyavu gye baali bakozesebwa. N’alaba Omumisiri ng’akuba Omwebbulaniya, omuntu ow’omu baganda be.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Awo Musa n’amagamaga, bwe yalaba nga teri muntu mulala amulaba, n’akwata Omumisiri n’amutta, n’amukweka mu musenyu.
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?
Bwe yaddayo enkeera, n’alaba abasajja babiri Abaebbulaniya nga balwana. N’abuuza oyo eyali asobezza nti, “Lwaki okuba Mwebbulaniya munno?”
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.
Omusajja n’amuddamu nti, “Ani eyakulonda okuba omufuzi waffe era omulamuzi waffe? Oyagala kunzita nga bwe watta Omumisiri?” Musa n’atya, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Ekintu kye nakola kirabika kyategeerebwa.”
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.
Awo Falaawo bwe yakiwulira, n’agezaako okutta Musa. Naye Musa n’aviira Falaawo, n’addukira mu nsi ya Midiyaani; n’atuula awali oluzzi.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Waaliwo kabona mu Midiyaani eyalina abaana be abawala musanvu, ne bajja okusena amazzi bajjuze ebyesero banywese endiga za kitaabwe.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Kyokka ne wabaawo abasumba ne bajja ne babagobawo; naye Musa n’asituka n’abalwanirira, n’anywesa endiga zaabwe.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Abawala bwe baddayo eka eri kitaabwe Leweri, n’ababuuza nti, “Nga mukomyewo mangu leero?”
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.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Omusajja Omumisiri atulwaniridde ng’abasumba batujoogereza; y’atusenedde n’amazzi n’anywesa ekisibo kyaffe.”
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.
N’abuuza bawala be nti, “Ali ludda wa? Ye lwaki mumuleseeyo? Mumuyite ajje alye ku mmere.”
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Musa n’akkiriza. N’abeerera ddala mu maka ga Leweri. Leweri n’awa Musa muwala we Zipola okuba mukyala we.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Zipola n’amuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi. Musa n’amutuuma erinnya Gerusomu, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga ndi mugwira mu nsi etali yange.”
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.
Awo nga wayiseewo ebbanga ggwanvu, kabaka w’e Misiri n’afa. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basindanga era ne bakaabanga olw’obuddu bwe baalimu, n’okukaaba kwabwe ne kutuuka eri Katonda.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Katonda n’awulira okusinda kwabwe. Katonda n’ajjukira endagaano ye gye yalagaana ne Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Katonda n’atunuulira abaana ba Isirayiri, n’ategeera okubonaabona kwabwe.
