Exodus 2
1 And there goes a man of the house of Levi, and he takes the daughter of Levi,
Na ka haere tetahi tangata o te whare o Riwai, ka tango i tetahi tamahine a Riwai hei wahine.
2 and the woman conceives, and bears a son, and she sees him, that he [is] beautiful, and she hides him [for] three months,
A ka hapu te wahine, ka whanau he tane: a, ka kitea he tamaiti pai, e toru nga marama i huna ai ia e ia.
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;
A, te ahei ia te huna tonu i a ia, ka tango ia i tetahi aaka kakaho mona, pani rawa ki te uku, ki te ware, a whaowhina ana te tamaiti ki roto; whakatakotoria iho ki roto ki nga wiwi i te pareparenga o te awa.
4 and his sister stations herself far off, to know what is done to him.
A tu ana i tawhiti tona tuahine, kia kite e ahatia ranei ia.
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,
Na ko te haerenga iho o te tamahine a Parao ki te horoi; ko ana kotiro hoki e haere ana i te taha o te awa; a, ka kite ia i te aaka i roto i nga wiwi, ka ngare i tana kotiro ki te tiki.
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.”
A, no tana hurahanga ake, ka kite i te tamaiti; na, ka tangi te tamaiti. A ka aroha ia ki a ia, ka mea, No nga tamariki a nga Hiperu tenei.
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”;
Katahi ka mea tona tuahine ki te tamahine a Parao, Kia haere ahau ki te karanga i tetahi wahine whakangote o nga Hiperu ki a koe hei whakangote mau i te tamaiti?
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Go”; and the virgin goes, and calls the mother of the boy,
A ka ki te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Haere: a haere ana te kotiro, karanga ana i te whaea o te tamaiti.
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.
A ka mea te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Tangohia te tamaiti nei, whakangotea maku, a maku e hoatu he utu ki a koe. Na tango ana te wahine i te tamaiti, a whakangotea ana e ia.
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.”
A, ka nui te tamaiti, ka kawea e ia ki te tamahine a Parao, a ka waiho ia hei tama mana. A huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Mohi: i mea hoki, No te mea i toia ake ia e ahau i roto i te wai.
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,
A i aua ra, ka kaumatuatia a Mohi, na ka haere ki ona tuakana, ka titiro hoki ki a ratou kawenga: a ka kite ia i tetahi Ihipiana e patu ana i tetahi Hiperu, no ona tuakana.
12 and he turns here and there, and sees that there is no man, and strikes the Egyptian, and hides him in the sand.
Na ka tahurihuri ia, a ka kite kahore he tangata, patua iho te Ihipiana, a huna iho ki te onepu.
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?”
A ka haere ia i te rua o nga ra, na, tokorua nga tangata o nga Hiperu e whawhai ana ki a raua: a ka mea atu ia ki te tangata nana te kino, He aha koe i patu ai i tou hoa?
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.”
Na ka mea tera, Na wai koe i ki hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakawa mo matou? E mea ana koe ki te patu i ahau me koe i patu ra i te Ihipiana? A ka wehi a Mohi, ka mea, Koia hoki, kua rangona tenei mea.
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.
A ka rongo a Parao i taua mea, na ka whai kia patua a Mohi. Otiia i rere a Mohi i te aroaro o Parao, a noho ana i te whenua o Miriana: na kua noho ia ki te puna.
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,
Na, tokowhitu nga tamahine a te tohunga o Miriana: a ka haere ratou, ka utuutu wai, ka whakaki i nga waka, hei whakainu i nga hipi a to ratou papa.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses arises, and saves them, and waters their flock.
A ko te haerenga o nga hepara, kei te atiati i a ratou: a ka whakatika a Mohi ka araarai i a ratou, ka whakainu i a ratou hipi.
18 And they come to their father Reuel, and he says, “Why have you hurried to come in today?”
A ka tae ratou ki a Reuere, ki to ratou papa, ka mea ia, Na te aha koutou i hohoro mai ai inaianei?
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”;
A ka mea ratou, Na tetahi Ihipiana i ora ai matou i te ringa o nga hepara, nana ano i utuutu he wai ma matou, i whakainu hoki nga hipi.
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.”
Na ka mea ia ki ana tamahine, A kei hea ia? He aha taua tangata i whakarerea ai e koutou? karangatia ki te kai taro.
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he gives his daughter Zipporah to Moses,
A i pai a Mohi ki te noho ki taua tangata; a ka homai e ia a Hipora, tana tamahine, ki a Mohi.
22 and she bears a son, and he calls his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land.”
A ka whanau ia, he tane, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Kerehoma. I mea hoki ia, He manene ahau i te whenua ke.
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;
Na i muri i nga ra e maha ka mate te kingi o Ihipa; a ka hotu te manawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te whakamahinga, a aue ana ratou; a ka puta ake ta ratou aue ki te Atua, no ratou hoki e whakamahia ana.
24 and God hears their groaning, and God remembers His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
A ka rongo te Atua ki ta ratou tangi, ka mahara te Atua ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Hakopa, ki a Ihaka.
25 and God sees the sons of Israel, and God knows.
Na ka titiro te Atua ki nga tama a Iharaira, a ka mohio te Atua ki a ratou.
