< Exodus 2 >
1 And there goes a man of the house of Levi, and he takes the daughter of Levi,
Hatnae tueng nah, Levih tami tongpa buet touh ni Levih tami napui a yu lah a la.
2 and the woman conceives, and bears a son, and she sees him, that he [is] beautiful, and she hides him [for] three months,
Napui ni camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Hote ca tongpa teh meilam hawinae hah a manu ni a hmu dawkvah, thapa yung thum touh thung a hro.
3 and she has not been able to hide him anymore, and she takes an ark of rushes for him, and covers it with bitumen and with pitch, and puts the boy in it, and puts [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;
Hateiteh, a hro thai hoeh torei teh, lungpumkung hoi sak e thingkong hah a la teh tuipan hoi thingtapi hoi a patô hnukkhu, hote thingkong dawk camo a ta teh, Nai palang rai lah lungpum um vah a ta.
4 and his sister stations herself far off, to know what is done to him.
A tawncanu ni bangtelah vaimoe ao han vaiyoe tie panue han a ngai dawkvah ahlahnawnnae koehoi a tuet.
5 And a daughter of Pharaoh comes down to bathe at the River, and her girls are walking by the side of the River, and she sees the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sends her handmaid, and she takes it,
Hat toteh, Faro canu teh tui kamhluk hanlah a tho. A sannunaw hoi tuipui rai lah a kâhlai awh navah, sumpanaw rahak vah thingkong a hmu teh la hanlah a sannu buet touh a patoun.
6 and opens, and sees him—the boy, and behold, a child weeping! And she has pity on him and says, “This is [one] of the Hebrews’ children.”
Thingkong e a khuem a paawng awh navah, ka kap e camo hah a hmu. Pahrennae lungthin a tawn dawkvah hete camo teh Hebru camo doeh telah ati.
7 And his sister says to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Do I go? When I have called a suckling woman of the Hebrews for you, then she suckles the boy for you”;
Camo e a tawncanu ni nang hanlah camo ka cun hane Hebru napui kai ni ka cei vaiteh, na kaw pouh han na ou telah Faro siangpahrang e canu koe a pacei navah,
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Go”; and the virgin goes, and calls the mother of the boy,
Faro canu ni cet loe telah kâ a poe dawkvah, napuica ni a cei teh camo e a manu hah a kaw.
9 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Take this boy away, and suckle him for me, and I give your hire”; and the woman takes the boy, and suckles him.
Hathnukkhu, Faro siangpahrang e canu ni hete camo heh lat nateh kai hanlah na kawk pouh la a, aphu na poe han telah atipouh e patetlah hote napui ni camo hah a la teh a kawk.
10 And the boy grows, and she brings him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calls his name Moses, and says, “Because I have drawn him from the water.”
Camo a roung torei teh, Faro siangpahrang e canu koe a thak pouh teh, siangpahrang e canu ni a ca lah a ta teh, Mosi telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui dawk hoi kai ni ka rasa e telah ati.
11 And it comes to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goes out to his brothers, and looks on their burdens, and sees a man, an Egyptian, striking a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brothers,
Mosi teh a kum hruet a cue torei teh, amae a miphunnaw onae hmuen koe a cei teh, ahnimae thaw tawk e naw hah a khet. A miphun Hebru tami buet touh hah Izip tami ni a hem e a hmu navah,
12 and he turns here and there, and sees that there is no man, and strikes the Egyptian, and hides him in the sand.
A tengpam a khet teh apihai awm hoeh tie a panue navah, Izip tami hah a thei teh sadi dawk a pakawp.
13 And he goes out on the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, are striving, and he says to the wrongdoer, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
Atangtho bout a tâco navah, Hebru tami kahni touh a kâyue roi e a hmu teh, nang ni namamouh roi reira hah bangkongmaw na hem telah ka yue e tami hah a pacei.
14 And he says, “Who set you for a head and judge over us? Are you saying [it] to slay me as you have slain the Egyptian?” And Moses fears and says, “Surely the thing has been known.”
Hote tami ni apinimaw nang teh kaimouh lathueng vah lawkcengkung lah na ta. Izip tami na thei e patetlah kai hah na thei han na ngai maw telah atipouh. Hatnavah, Mosi ni amae hno a sak e hah a kamphawng toe telah a panue dawkvah a taki.
15 And Pharaoh hears of this thing, and seeks to slay Moses, and Moses flees from the face of Pharaoh, and dwells in the land of Midian, and dwells by the well.
Hote kamthang hah Faro siangpahrang ni a thai torei teh, Mosi thei hanlah a tawng. Mosi teh Faro siangpahrang koehoi a yawng teh, Midian ram vah kho a sak. Ahni teh, tuido teng a tahung navah,
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs to water the flock of their father,
Midian vaihma e canu sari touh teh a na pa e tu hoi hmaenaw tui pânei hanlah a tho awh teh tui a do awh hnukkhu, dokkonaw dawk tui a pakawi awh.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses arises, and saves them, and waters their flock.
Hatnavah, tukhoumnaw a tho awh teh, tu hoi hmaenaw hah a hrui awh. Hatnavah, Mosi ni a thaw teh, hote napuinaw koe lah ao teh tu hoi hmaenaw hah tui a pânei pouh.
18 And they come to their father Reuel, and he says, “Why have you hurried to come in today?”
Hote napuinaw teh a na pa Reuel koe a pha awh navah, bangkong sahnin teh palang na tho awh bo telah atipouh.
19 And they say, “A man, an Egyptian, has delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and has also diligently drawn for us, and waters the flock”;
Ahnimouh nihaiyah Izip tami buet touh ni tukhoumnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang teh tui kakhoutlah a do teh tu hoi hmaenaw hah tui a pânei atipouh awh.
20 and he says to his daughters, “And where [is] he? Why [is] this [that] you left the man? Call for him, and he eats bread.”
A na pa ni hai hote tami teh na maw ao. Bangkongmaw yout na ban takhai awh. Bu ca hanlah kaw awh, telah atipouh.
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he gives his daughter Zipporah to Moses,
Hottelah hoiyah Mosi teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah o hanelah, a hnâbo hnukkhu Reuel ni a canu Zipporah hah Mosi hoi a kâpaluen sak.
22 and she bears a son, and he calls his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land.”
Hote napui ni ca tongpa a khe toteh Mosi ni Gershom telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh ramlouk dawk imyin lah ka o toe telah ati.
23 And it comes to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dies, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goes up to God, because of the service;
A kumtha asaw toteh, Izip siangpahrang hai yo a due toe. Hattoteh Isarelnaw teh san lah ao awhnae koe a cingou khuika awh. Hottelah san lah onae koehoi khuika hramki e lawk teh Cathut koe a pha.
24 and God hears their groaning, and God remembers His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Cathut ni ahnimae cingou khuika lawk teh a thai pouh. Hatnavah, Cathut ni Abraham, Isak, Jakop tinaw hoi lawkkam a sak e hah a pouk.
25 and God sees the sons of Israel, and God knows.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Isarelnaw hah a hmu teh, a panue.
