Exodus 2
1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Zvino mumwe murume weimba yaRevhi akawana mukadzi,
2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
uye mukadzi uyu akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Paakaona kuti akanga ari mwana akanaka, akamuvanza kwemwedzi mitatu.
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.
Asi akati asisagoni kumuvanza, akamutorera tswanda yenhokwe akainama netara nenamo. Ipapo akaisa mwana imomo ndokuiisa pakati petsanga dzaiva mumahombekombe aNairi.
4 And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
Hanzvadzi yake yakamira iri chinhambwe kuti ione kuti chii chaizoitika kwaari.
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.
Ipapo mwanasikana waFaro akaburuka akaenda kurwizi Nairi kuti andoshamba, uye varandakadzi vake vakanga vachifamba vachitevedza mahombekombe. Akaona tswanda pakati petsanga ndokubva atuma murandakadzi wake kuti andoitora.
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."
Akaizarura akaona mwana. Akanga achichema, uye akamunzwira tsitsi. Akati, “Uyu ndomumwe wavana vavaHebheru.”
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?"
Ipapo hanzvadzi yake yakakumbira mwanasikana waFaro ikati, “Ndingaenda here ndikandokutorerai mumwe wavakadzi vechiHebheru kuti azokurererai mwana?”
8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.
Uye mwanasikana waFaro akapindura akati, “Hongu.” Uye musikana akaenda akandotora mai vomwana.
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.
Mwanasikana waFaro akati kwavari, “Tora mwana uyu unondirererawo, uye ini ndichakupa muripo wako.” Saka mukadzi akatora mwana akamurera.
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."
Mwana akati akura, akamutora akaenda naye kumwanasikana waFaro akava mwanakomana wake. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Mozisi, achiti, “Ndakamutora mumvura.”
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.
Rimwe zuva Mozisi akura, akaenda kwakanga kuna vanhu vokwake uye akavatarira vari pabasa ravo rakaoma. Akaona muIjipita achirova muHebheru, mumwe wavanhu vokwake.
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.
Akaringa-ringa ndokuona kusina munhu achibva auraya muIjipita, ndokumuviga mujecha.
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?"
Zuva rakatevera, akabuda akaona vaHebheru vaviri vachirwa. Akabvunza uya akanga akanganisa akati, “Seiko uchirova mumwe wako muHebheru?”
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."
Murume uya akati, “Ndianiko akakuita mubati nomutongi pamusoro pedu? Uri kuda kundiuraya sokuuraya kwawakaita muIjipita nhai?” Ipapo Mozisi akatya akafunga akati, “Zvandakaita zvinofanira kuva zvava kuzivikanwa.”
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.
Faro akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kuuraya Mozisi, asi Mozisi akatiza Faro akaenda kundogara kuMidhiani, uye akagara patsime.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Zvino muprista weMidhiani akanga ana vanasikana vanomwe uye vakauya kuzochera mvura yokuti vazadze midziyo yainwira zvipfuwo zvababa vavo.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
Vamwe vafudzi vakasvika vakavadzinga, asi Mozisi akasimuka akavanunura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo zvavo.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
Vasikana pavakadzokera kuna Reueri baba vavo, akavabvunza akati, “Makurumidza seiko kudzoka nhasi?”
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."
Vakapindura vakati, “Tanunurwa nomuIjipita kubva kuvafudzi. Abva aticherera mvura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo.”
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."
Akabvunza vanasikana vake akati, “Aripiko? Mamusiyirei? Mudanei, auye azodya.”
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
Mozisi akabvuma kugara nomurume uyu, uyo akazopa mwanasikana wake Zipora kuna Mozisi kuti ave mukadzi wake.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
Zipora akabereka mwanakomana, uye Mozisi akamutumidza zita rokuti Gerishomi, achiti, “Ndava mueni munyika yavatorwa.”
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.
Zvino makore mazhinji akati apfuura, mambo weIjipiti akafa. VaIsraeri vakagomera muutapwa hwavo uye vakachema, kuchemera rubatsiro rwavo nokuda kwoutapwa hwavo kukakwira kuna Mwari.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Mwari akanzwa kugomera kwavo uye akarangarira sungano yake naAbhurahama, naIsaka uye naJakobho.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
Saka Mwari akatarisa pamusoro pavaIsraeri akava nehanya navo.
