< Exodus 2 >

1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Hiche phatlai hin, Levi insung'a kon pasal khat leh Levi insungmi numei khat ma aki cheng lhon tan ahi.
2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Numeinu chu ahung gaijin chapa khat ahing tai. Amanun achapa chu aven ahile lunglhai umtah naosen ahin, lhathum sung'in asel tan ahi.
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.
Ahivang'in amanun achapa chu asel joulou phat in, sinkhup Pyparus naang'a kisa khat agalan twilut na lou ding'in avonglai jouse ahubit sohkeiye. Chuin sinkhup sung'a naocha chu akhum'in Nile Vadung pang phaipheng lah achun alha lut tai.
4 And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
Chuin naosen unu jong gamlha thim'a kon'in ading'in naosen chu i-atidem tin agalvet in ahi.
5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the box among the rushes, and sent her handmaid to get it.
Chu jouvin Pharaoh chanu vadung'a kisil ding'in ahung suh tan, asot tolle hojong vadung pang achun avah le uvin ahi. Chuin amanun phaipheng phung lah a sinkhup chu ahin mudoh tan, aga la din asoh nu chu asol tan ahi.
6 She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
Lengpa chanun jong sinkhup chu ahongdoh in ahile, naocha chu amu in ahi. Chu-in naocha chu akap'in, amanun jong naocha chu avoujang natpi lheh in, “Hiche hi Hebrew mite cha khat hitei ding ahi,” ati.
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"
Hichun naosen sopinun jong Lengpa chanu heng ahin naijin. “Keima kache a Hebrew numei khat naosen don ding kagahol peh ding ham?” tin adong'e.
8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.
Lengpa chanu in jong, “Henge, gapui jin!” tin adonbut in, numeinu jong ache-in naosen hingnu mama chu aga puiye.
9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.
Chuin lengpa chanu'n jong naosen hingnu jah'a aseijin. “Naosen hi lanlang neidon peh'in, Keiman na don man ka peh ding nahi,” ati. Chuin numeinu in jong naosen chu a-inlam'a adom'in amapa chu adon tan ahi.
10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
Khonung'in, chapang pa jong akhang len tan ahile, anu in amapa chu Pharaoh chanu henga ahung thah tan, amapa chu lengpa chanu chapa in ahung pang tai. Lengpa chanu in amapa chu amin Mose asah tai, ajeh chu amanun aseijin, “kei man amapa hi twi lah a kon kaloidoh ahi,” ati.
11 It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
Kum phabep ache nung in, Mose jong ahung khang lentan, amapa jong asopiho vil din ache toutan, aman jong asopi Hebrew mite hunam'a na atohsah nau aga mudoh tai. Agavil pet chun, Egypt mikhat in asopi Hebrew mikhat chung'a akhut alha chu amu paijin ahi.
12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Akimvel avet a koima eive poi ti aphot chen phat in, Mose'n Egypt mipa chu athat in neldi lah a asel tan ahi.
13 He went out the second day, and look, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"
Ajing nikho in, asopi ho vildin Mose apot doh kit tan ahile, Hebrew mini akinah lhon aga amun ahi. “Ipi jeh a na golpa navoh ham?” tin kinah hin panpa heng'a chun Mose'n aseiye.
14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."
Amapan adonbut in, “Koiham nangma keiho chunga leng'a na pansah le thutan ding'a thaneina nape? Janhi a Egypt mipa natha banga chu keima jong tha ding neigot ham?” tin aseiyin ahileh, Mose jong akichan “Ka thil bol mijousen ahetai.” tin angai ton ahi.”
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
Mose thilbol chu Pharaoh in ahin jadoh tahbeh tan, chuin amapan Mose chu tha ding ago tan ahi. Ahivang'in Mose jong Pharaoh angsung'a kon'in ajam'in Median gamsung'a chengdin ache tai. Median alhun chun Mose jong twikul pang'a atou tan ahi.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Tun Median thempupa chun chanu sagi aneiyin amaho chengse chu apau ganchahon ho ding'in twi kongho chu athal ngai bang'un ahung thal dim'un ahi.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
Ahinlah kelngoi ching midang phabep ahung'uvin amaho chu anodoh un ahi. Hichun Mose jong achomdoh jeng'in kelngoi ching hoa kon chun numei chapang ho chu ahuhdoh tan ahi. Chuin amapan amaho ganchate a ding twi chu athal peh tan ahi.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
Numei chapang ho chu apau Reuel heng ale lhun uchun, amapan adong un, “Ipi jeh-a tuni nahung kimale uham?” ati'in ahile,
19 They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
amahon jong adonbut uvin, “Egypt mi khat in kelngoi ching hoa kon'a eihuhdoh uva, chule amapa chun keiho ding le igancha hon houva ding twi eithal peh jeh'u ahi,” atiuve.
20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
“Ahile amapa hoiba ham?” tin apauvin adong'in, “ipi ding'a amapa chu chukom'a chu nahin dalhah uham? Ahung'a ankong isokhom diuvin gakouvun,” ati.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
Mose'n jong akounau chu asanpeh in, lengpa toh chun hiva chun acheng khom tan ahi. Hiche phatlai chun, Reuel'in achanu Zipporah chu Mose ji ding in ape tan ahi.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
Phat chomkhat jouvin, amanun chapa khat ahing'in, Mose'n Gershom asah tai “Ajeh chu keima hi gamchom beh'a khopem kahi,” tina ahi.
23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
Kum phabep ache nung in, Egypt lengpa athitan ahi. Hinlah Israelte chu soh kihen ohna noiya pohgih poa khoisa jing nalai ahiuve. Panpi ngaiyin akap un, aka awgin'u chu Pathen angsung alhung tan ahi.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Akhoisat nau Pathen in aja tan, chuin Abraham, Isaac leh Jacob heng'a akitepna ahin geldoh tan ahi.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
Aman Israel mite chu avesuh in, chuin tunvang toh phat ahitai ti chu ahe tan ahi.
