Exodus 2
1 Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin’ ny mpianakavin’ i Levy lasa naka vady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Levy.
2 And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.
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.
Ary rehefa tsy azony nafenina intsony izy, dia nangalany fiara zozoro, ka nopetahany asfalta sy dity ny fiara, dia napetrany tao ny zaza; ary napetrany tao anaty zozoro teo amoron’ i Neily ny fiara.
4 Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.
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.
Ary nidina ny zanakavavin’ i Farao mba handro tao Neily; ary ny ankizivaviny nitsangatsangana teny amoron’ i Neily; ary raha nahita ny fiara teo anaty zozoro ny zanakavavin’ i Farao, dia naniraka ny mpanompovaviny iray izy ka nampaka azy.
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.
Ary nony nosokafany, dia hitany ny zazakely; ary indro fa zazalahy mitomany. Dia namindra fo taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Isan’ ny zanaky ny Hebreo ity.
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?
Dia hoy kosa ny anabaviny tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao: Handeha haka mpitaiza amin’ ny vehivavy Hebreo va aho hankatỳ aminao mba hitaiza ny zaza ho anao?
8 And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin’ ny zaza.
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.
Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Ento ity zaza ity, ka tezao ho ahy, fa izaho handoa ny karamanao. Dia nentin-dravehivavy ny zaza ka notezainy.
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.
Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia nentiny tao amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao izy, ka dia tonga zanany. Ary ny anarany nataony hoe Mosesy; fa hoy izy: Satria tamin’ ny rano no nangalako azy.
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.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, rehefa lehibe Mosesy, dia nivoaka nankany amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nijery ny fanompoany mafy, ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana nanavokavoka ny anankiray tamin’ ny Hebreo rahalahiny.
12 And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin’ ny fasika ny faty.
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?
Ary nony ampitson’ iny, dia nivoaka indray izy, ary, indreo, nisy Hebreo roa lahy niady; dia hoy izy tamin’ ilay diso: Nahoana no mamono ny namanao ianao?
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.
Fa hoy izy: Iza no nanendry an’ ialahy ho mpanapaka sy mpitsara anay? Moa mikasa hamono ahy koa va ialahy, tahaka ny namonoan’ ialahy ilay Egyptiana? Dia raiki-tahotra Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Hay! fantatr’ olona izany!
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.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Farao izany zavatra izany, dia nitady hamono an’ i Mosesy izy. Fa Mosesy nandositra ny tavan’ i Farao ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Midiana; ny nipetraka teo anilan’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy.
16 And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
Ary ny mpisorona tao Midiana nanana zanaka fito mirahavavy; ary avy izy ireo, dia nanovo rano ka nameno ny tavin-drano hampisotroany ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy.
17 Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
Ary avy kosa ny lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nandroaka azy; fa Mosesy nitsangana ka namonjy azy, dia nampisotro rano ny ondry aman’ osiny.
18 And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin-dRegoela rainy izy, dia hoy izy: Nahoana no dia nalaky tonga toy izany ianareo androany?
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.
Ary hoy izy ireo: Nisy lehilahy Egyptiana anankiray namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpiandry ondry sady nanovo rano ho anay, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman’ osy.
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.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zananivavy: Ka aiza izy? Nahoana no nilaozanareo izany lehilahy izany? Alao izy mba hihinan-kanina.
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
Ary sitrak’ i Mosesy ny hitoetra tao amin-dralehilahy. Ary Zipora zananivavy dia nomeny ho vadin’ i Mosesy.
22 And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
Dia niteraka zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany nataon-drainy hoe Gersoma; fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin’ ny tanin’ ny firenena hafa aho.
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.
Ary tao anatin’ izany andro maro izany dia maty ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nisento noho ny fanompoany ka nitaraina; ary niakatra tany amin’ Andriamanitra ny fitarainany noho ny fanompoany.
24 Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
25 So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
