< Exodus 2 >

1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Ó sì ṣe, ọkùnrin ará ilé Lefi kan fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ará Lefi kan ni ìyàwó.
2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Obìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Nígbà tí ó rí í pé ọmọ náà rẹwà, ó gbé ọmọ náà pamọ́ fún oṣù mẹ́ta.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí kò le è gbé e pamọ́ mọ́, ó fi ewé papirusi hun apẹ̀rẹ̀, ó sì fi ọ̀dà àti òjé igi sán apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà. Ó sì tẹ́ ọmọ náà sínú rẹ̀, ó sì gbe é sí inú eèsún ni etí odò Naili.
4 And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
Arábìnrin rẹ̀ dúró ni òkèèrè láti wo ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ náà.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin Farao sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí etí odò Naili láti wẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń rìn ni etí bèbè odò. Ó sì ri apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà ni àárín eèsún, ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin kan láti lọ gbé e wá,
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."
ó ṣí i, ó sì rí ọmọ náà. Ọmọ náà ń sọkún, àánú ọmọ náà sì ṣe é. Ó wí pé, “Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Heberu ni èyí.”
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?"
Nígbà náà ni arábìnrin rẹ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọmọbìnrin Farao pé, “Ṣé kí èmi lọ wá ọ̀kan lára àwọn obìnrin Heberu wá fún ọ láti bá ọ tọ́jú ọmọ náà?”
8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.
Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; lọ.” Arábìnrin náà sì lọ, ó sì pe ìyá ọmọ náà wá.
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.
Ọmọbìnrin Farao sì wí fún un pé, “Gba ọmọ yìí kí o sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò san owó iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ fún ọ.” Ọmọbìnrin náà sì gbé ọmọ náà lọ, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀.
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."
Nígbà tí ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó mú un tọ ọmọbìnrin Farao wá, ó sì di ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Mose, ó wí pé, “Nítorí tí mo fà á jáde nínú omi.”
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.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí Mose ti dàgbà, ó jáde lọ sí ibi ti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wà, ó ń wò wọ́n lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ líle wọn, ó ri ará Ejibiti tí ń lu ará Heberu, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
Ó wo ìhín, ó wo ọ̀hún, nígbà tí kò rí ẹnìkankan, ni ó bá pa ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì bò ó mọ́ inú iyanrìn.
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?"
Ní ọjọ́ kejì, ó jáde lọ, ó rí àwọn ará Heberu méjì tí wọ́n ń jà. Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ èyí tí ó jẹ̀bi pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lu Heberu arákùnrin rẹ?”
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."
Ọkùnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ta ni ó fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́ lórí wa? Ṣé ìwọ fẹ́ pa mí bí o ti pa ará Ejibiti?” Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀rù ba Mose, ó sì wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni ọ̀ràn yìí ti di mí mọ̀.”
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.
Nígbà ti Farao sì gbọ́ nípa èyí, ó wá ọ̀nà láti pa Mose, ṣùgbọ́n Mose sá kúrò ní àrọ́wọ́tó o Farao, ó lọ sí Midiani láti máa gbé, nígbà tí ó dé bẹ̀, ó jókòó ni ẹ̀bá a kànga kan.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Ó sì ṣe, àlùfáà Midiani kan ni àwọn ọmọbìnrin méje, wọn sì wá láti pọn omi kún ọpọ́n ìmumi fún ẹran ọ̀sìn baba wọn.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
Àwọn darandaran kan wá, wọ́n sì lé wọn sẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n Mose dìde láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ àti láti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ láti fún ẹran wọn ní omi.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
Nígbà ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Reueli baba wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tètè dé ni òní?”
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."
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Ará Ejibiti kan ni ó gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran, ó tilẹ̀ ràn wá lọ́wọ́ láti fa omi àti láti fún agbo ẹran ní omi.”
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."
Ó sọ fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, “Níbo ni ó wà? Èéṣe ti ẹ fi fi ọkùnrin náà sílẹ̀? Ẹ pè é wá jẹun.”
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
Mose gbà láti dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí o fi Sippora, ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún Mose láti fi ṣe aya.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
Ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gerṣomu, ó wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ọba Ejibiti kú. Àwọn ará Israẹli ń kérora ní oko ẹrú wọn, wọ́n ń ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ nítorí oko ẹrú tí wọ́n wà, igbe wọ́n sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Ọlọ́run gbọ́ igbe wọn, Ó sì rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Isaaki àti pẹ̀lú Jakọbu.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run bojú wo àwọn ará Israẹli, Ó sì wà láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
