< Exodus 2 >

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, —and took a daughter of Levi.
Ó sì ṣe, ọkùnrin ará ilé Lefi kan fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ará Lefi kan ni ìyàwó.
2 And the woman conceived and bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so 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 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon 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 Then did his sister station herself 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 So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, and fetched 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 And she opened and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
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 said his sister unto Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse, of the Hebrew women, —that she may nurse for thee the child?
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 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; lọ.” Arábìnrin náà sì lọ, ó sì pe ìyá ọmọ náà wá.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So 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 And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew him.
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 And it came to pass in those days when Moses grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—of his brethren,
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 So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote 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 And he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite thy 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 And he said—Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the 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 So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the 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, —and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers 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 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured 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 Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
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 And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, 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 And he said unto his daughters—And where is he? wherefore is it that ye 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 well-pleased to dwell with the man, —and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
Mose gbà láti dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí o fi Sippora, ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún Mose láti fi ṣe aya.
22 And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
Ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gerṣomu, ó wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
23 And it came to pass, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
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 And 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 so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run bojú wo àwọn ará Israẹli, Ó sì wà láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
