Exodus 2
1 And he went a man from [the] house of Levi and he took [the] daughter of Levi.
Un homme de la maison de Lévi avait pris pour femme une fille de Lévi.
2 And she conceived the woman and she bore a son and she saw him that [was] good he and she hid him three months.
Cette femme devint enceinte et enfanta un fils. Elle vit qu’il était beau, et elle le cacha pendant trois mois.
3 And not she was able still to hide him and she took for him a basket of papyrus and sealed it she with bitumen and with pitch and she put in it the child and she put [it] among the rush[es] at [the] bank of the River.
Ne pouvant plus le cacher, elle prit une caisse de jonc, qu’elle enduisit de bitume et de poix; elle y mit l’enfant, et le déposa parmi les roseaux, sur le bord du fleuve.
4 And she stood sister his from a distance to know what? will it be done to him.
La sœur de l’enfant se tint à quelque distance, pour savoir ce qui lui arriverait.
5 And she went down [the] daughter of Pharaoh to bathe at the River and female attendants her [were] walking on [the] side of the River and she saw the basket in among the rush[es] and she sent maid her (and fetched it she *L(abh)*)
La fille de Pharaon descendit au fleuve pour se baigner, et ses compagnes se promenèrent le long du fleuve. Elle aperçut la caisse au milieu des roseaux, et elle envoya sa servante pour la prendre.
6 and she opened [it] and she saw him the child and there! a lad [was] crying and she had compassion on him and she said [is] one of [the] children of the Hebrews this.
Elle l’ouvrit, et vit l’enfant: c’était un petit garçon qui pleurait. Elle en eut pitié, et elle dit: C’est un enfant des Hébreux!
7 And she said sister his to [the] daughter of Pharaoh ¿ will I go and will I call? for you a woman a suckling-nurse from the Hebrew [women] so she may suckle for you the child.
Alors la sœur de l’enfant dit à la fille de Pharaon: Veux-tu que j’aille te chercher une nourrice parmi les femmes des Hébreux, pour allaiter cet enfant?
8 And she said to her [the] daughter of Pharaoh go and she went the young woman and she called [the] mother of the child.
Va, lui répondit la fille de Pharaon. Et la jeune fille alla chercher la mère de l’enfant.
9 And she said to her [the] daughter of Pharaoh take the child this and suckle him for me and I I will pay wage[s] your and she took the woman the child and she suckled him.
La fille de Pharaon lui dit: Emporte cet enfant, et allaite-le-moi; je te donnerai ton salaire. La femme prit l’enfant, et l’allaita.
10 And he grew up the child and she took him to [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he became to her a son and she called name his Moses and she said that from the water I drew him.
Quand il eut grandi, elle l’amena à la fille de Pharaon, et il fut pour elle comme un fils. Elle lui donna le nom de Moïse, car, dit-elle, je l’ai retiré des eaux.
11 And it was - in the days those and he grew up Moses and he went out to brothers his and he looked on forced labor their and he saw a man Egyptian striking a man Hebrew one of brothers his.
En ce temps-là, Moïse, devenu grand, se rendit vers ses frères, et fut témoin de leurs pénibles travaux. Il vit un Égyptien qui frappait un Hébreu d’entre ses frères.
12 And he turned thus and thus and he saw that there not [was] a person and he struck down the Egyptian and he hid him in the sand.
Il regarda de côté et d’autre, et, voyant qu’il n’y avait personne, il tua l’Égyptien, et le cacha dans le sable.
13 And he went out on the day second and there! two men Hebrew [were] struggling together and he said to the guilty [one] why? are you striking companion your.
Il sortit le jour suivant; et voici, deux Hébreux se querellaient. Il dit à celui qui avait tort: Pourquoi frappes-tu ton prochain?
14 And he said who? did he appoint you to a man a chief and a judge over us ¿ to kill me [are] you saying just as you killed the Egyptian and he was afraid Moses and he thought truly it is known the matter.
Et cet homme répondit: Qui t’a établi chef et juge sur nous? Penses-tu me tuer, comme tu as tué l’Égyptien? Moïse eut peur, et dit: Certainement la chose est connue.
15 And he heard Pharaoh the matter this and he sought to kill Moses and he fled Moses from before Pharaoh and he dwelt in [the] land of Midian and he sat at the well.
Pharaon apprit ce qui s’était passé, et il cherchait à faire mourir Moïse. Mais Moïse s’enfuit de devant Pharaon, et il se retira dans le pays de Madian, où il s’arrêta près d’un puits.
16 And [belonged] to [the] priest of Midian seven daughters and they came and they drew and they filled the drinking troughs to water [the] flock of father their.
Le sacrificateur de Madian avait sept filles. Elles vinrent puiser de l’eau, et elles remplirent les auges pour abreuver le troupeau de leur père.
17 And they came the shepherds and they drove away them and he arose Moses and he delivered them and he watered flock their.
Les bergers arrivèrent, et les chassèrent. Alors Moïse se leva, prit leur défense, et fit boire leur troupeau.
18 And they went to Reuel father their and he said why? did you hurry to come this day.
Quand elles furent de retour auprès de Réuel, leur père, il dit: Pourquoi revenez-vous si tôt aujourd’hui?
19 And they said a man Egyptian he rescued us from [the] hand of the shepherds and also carefully he drew for us and he watered the flock.
Elles répondirent: Un Égyptien nous a délivrées de la main des bergers, et même il nous a puisé de l’eau, et a fait boire le troupeau.
20 And he said to daughters his and where [is]? he why? this have you left the man invite him so he may eat food.
Et il dit à ses filles: Où est-il? Pourquoi avez-vous laissé cet homme? Appelez-le, pour qu’il prenne quelque nourriture.
21 And he was willing Moses to dwell with the man and he gave Zipporah daughter his to Moses.
Moïse se décida à demeurer chez cet homme, qui lui donna pour femme Séphora, sa fille.
22 And she bore a son and he called name his Gershom for he said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
Elle enfanta un fils, qu’il appela du nom de Guerschom, car, dit-il, j’habite un pays étranger.
23 And it was in the days many those and he died [the] king of Egypt and they groaned [the] people of Israel from the labor and they cried out and it went up cry for help their to God from the labor.
Longtemps après, le roi d’Égypte mourut, et les enfants d’Israël gémissaient encore sous la servitude, et poussaient des cris. Ces cris, que leur arrachait la servitude, montèrent jusqu’à Dieu.
24 And he heard God groaning their and he remembered God covenant his with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob.
Dieu entendit leurs gémissements, et se souvint de son alliance avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.
25 And he saw God [the] people of Israel and he knew God.
Dieu regarda les enfants d’Israël, et il en eut compassion.
