Exodus 2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
Te vaengah Levi imkhui lamkah tongpa pakhat te cet tih Levi nu te a loh.
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
A yuu te vawn tih capa a cun hatah anih tea then la a sawt tih hla thum a thuh.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
Anih te koep thuh ham a coeng pawt vaengah tah anih ham talik lawng a loh pah tih lungpaat kunhnai neh a hluk. Te phoeiah a khuiah camoe te a khueh tih sokko tuikaeng kah carhaek ding ah a khueh.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
Anih taengah metla a om khaw ming hamla a ngannu loh a hla lamkah a pai thil.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
Te vaengah Pharaoh canu te tui hlu la sokko ah cet tih a hula puei neh sokko lihmoi ah pongpa uh. Tedae carhaek ding kah lawng te a hmuh vaengah a salnu te a tueih tih a loh pah.
6 And she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
A ong vaengah camoe te a hmuh tih camoe khaw tarha ana rhap. Te dongah anih ham a thinphat tih, “Hebrew camoe la he,” a ti.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?'
Te vaengah a ngannu loh Pharaoh canu te, “Ka cet vetih nang ham Hebrew nu te, cakhoem la ka khue eh. Te daengah ni nang ham camoe hang khoem eh?,” a ti nah.
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
Anih te Pharaoh canu loh, “Cet saw,” a ti nah dongah hula te cet tih camoe manu te a khue pah.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her: 'Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.' And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
Pharaoh canu loh anih te, “Camoe he caeh puei lamtah kai ham han cun, kamah loh na thapang kam paek bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah manu loh camoe te a khuen tih a cun.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said: 'Because I drew him out of the water.'
Camoe te a pantai phoeiah Pharaoh canu taengla a khuen. Te vaengah a capa la om tih a ming te Moses a sui tih, “Anih he tui dong lamlong ni ka doek,” a ti.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
A khohnin loh a pha tih Moses khaw pantai coeng. Te dongah a manuca rhoek taengla pawk tih amih kah bitloh te a hmuh. Te vaengah a manuca Hebrew hlang mai Egypt hlang loh a ngawn pah te a hmuh.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Tedae heben hebang la a mael akhaw hlang te hmu pawh. Te dongah Egypt te a ngawn tih laivin khuiah a up.
13 And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
A hnin bae dongkah a mop vaengah tah Hebrew hlang rhoi te tarha ana hnuei uh rhoi. Te dongah aka halang te, “Balae tih na hui na ngawn?” a ti nah.
14 And he said: 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is known.'
Te vaengah, “Hlang khaw, Kaimih sokah mangpa neh laitloek la ulong nang ng'khueh, Egypt na ngawn bangla kai ngawn ham na cai nama?” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses loh a rhih coeng tih, “Dumlai khaw phoe taktak coeng,” a ti.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
Te ol te Pharaoh loh a yaak vaengah Moses te ngawn ham a mae. Tedae Moses tah Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh yong tih Midian khohmuen ah kho a sak. Te vaengah tuito ah ngol hatah,
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Midian khosoih kah a canu parhih te ha pawk uh tih tui a dueh uh. Te phoeiah a napa kah boiva te tul ham tuisoi dongah a loei uh.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Te vaengah boiva aka dawn rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta rhoek te a haek uh. Tedae Moses te thoo tih huta rhoek a rhun tih a boiva te tui a tul pah.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?'
A napa Reuel taengla a pawk uh vaengah, “Tihnin ah tah balae tih yue na pawk uh,” a ti nah.
19 And they said: 'An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.'
Te vaengah, “Egypt hlang loh kaimih he boiva aka dawn rhoek kut lamloh n'huul. Te phoeiah tui pataeng kaimih ham han dueh han dueh tih boiva te a tul,” a ti nauh.
20 And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.'
Te dongah a ca rhoek te, “Melae anih? Balae tih hlang te na hnoo uh? Anih te khue uh lamtah buh ca dae saeh,” a ti nah.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Hlang neh khosak ham khaw Moses loh a ueh van coeng dongah a canu Zipporah te Moses taengah a paek.
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.'
Te vaengah capa a cun pah hatah kholong kho ah yinlai la ka om a ti tih a ming te Gershom a sui.
23 And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
A tue muep a khum phoeiah tah Egypt manghai khaw duek. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te thohtatnah khui lamloh huei uh tih pang uh. Thohtatnah lamloh a pang uh te Pathen taengla cet.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Tedae Pathen loh amih kah nguekcoinah te a yaak tih Abraham taengkah, Isaak taengkah, Jakob taengkah a paipi te Pathen loh a poek.
25 And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
Te dongah Pathen loh Israel ca rhoek te a hmuh tih amih te Pathen loh a ming.
