< Exodus 2 >

1 And he went a man from [the] house of Levi and he took [the] daughter of Levi.
Na ka haere tetahi tangata o te whare o Riwai, ka tango i tetahi tamahine a Riwai hei wahine.
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.
A ka hapu te wahine, ka whanau he tane: a, ka kitea he tamaiti pai, e toru nga marama i huna ai ia e ia.
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.
A, te ahei ia te huna tonu i a ia, ka tango ia i tetahi aaka kakaho mona, pani rawa ki te uku, ki te ware, a whaowhina ana te tamaiti ki roto; whakatakotoria iho ki roto ki nga wiwi i te pareparenga o te awa.
4 And she stood sister his from a distance to know what? will it be done to him.
A tu ana i tawhiti tona tuahine, kia kite e ahatia ranei ia.
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)*)
Na ko te haerenga iho o te tamahine a Parao ki te horoi; ko ana kotiro hoki e haere ana i te taha o te awa; a, ka kite ia i te aaka i roto i nga wiwi, ka ngare i tana kotiro ki te tiki.
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.
A, no tana hurahanga ake, ka kite i te tamaiti; na, ka tangi te tamaiti. A ka aroha ia ki a ia, ka mea, No nga tamariki a nga Hiperu tenei.
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.
Katahi ka mea tona tuahine ki te tamahine a Parao, Kia haere ahau ki te karanga i tetahi wahine whakangote o nga Hiperu ki a koe hei whakangote mau i te tamaiti?
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.
A ka ki te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Haere: a haere ana te kotiro, karanga ana i te whaea o te tamaiti.
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.
A ka mea te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Tangohia te tamaiti nei, whakangotea maku, a maku e hoatu he utu ki a koe. Na tango ana te wahine i te tamaiti, a whakangotea ana e ia.
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.
A, ka nui te tamaiti, ka kawea e ia ki te tamahine a Parao, a ka waiho ia hei tama mana. A huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Mohi: i mea hoki, No te mea i toia ake ia e ahau i roto i te wai.
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.
A i aua ra, ka kaumatuatia a Mohi, na ka haere ki ona tuakana, ka titiro hoki ki a ratou kawenga: a ka kite ia i tetahi Ihipiana e patu ana i tetahi Hiperu, no ona tuakana.
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.
Na ka tahurihuri ia, a ka kite kahore he tangata, patua iho te Ihipiana, a huna iho ki te onepu.
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.
A ka haere ia i te rua o nga ra, na, tokorua nga tangata o nga Hiperu e whawhai ana ki a raua: a ka mea atu ia ki te tangata nana te kino, He aha koe i patu ai i tou hoa?
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.
Na ka mea tera, Na wai koe i ki hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakawa mo matou? E mea ana koe ki te patu i ahau me koe i patu ra i te Ihipiana? A ka wehi a Mohi, ka mea, Koia hoki, kua rangona tenei mea.
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.
A ka rongo a Parao i taua mea, na ka whai kia patua a Mohi. Otiia i rere a Mohi i te aroaro o Parao, a noho ana i te whenua o Miriana: na kua noho ia ki te puna.
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.
Na, tokowhitu nga tamahine a te tohunga o Miriana: a ka haere ratou, ka utuutu wai, ka whakaki i nga waka, hei whakainu i nga hipi a to ratou papa.
17 And they came the shepherds and they drove away them and he arose Moses and he delivered them and he watered flock their.
A ko te haerenga o nga hepara, kei te atiati i a ratou: a ka whakatika a Mohi ka araarai i a ratou, ka whakainu i a ratou hipi.
18 And they went to Reuel father their and he said why? did you hurry to come this day.
A ka tae ratou ki a Reuere, ki to ratou papa, ka mea ia, Na te aha koutou i hohoro mai ai inaianei?
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.
A ka mea ratou, Na tetahi Ihipiana i ora ai matou i te ringa o nga hepara, nana ano i utuutu he wai ma matou, i whakainu hoki nga hipi.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki ana tamahine, A kei hea ia? He aha taua tangata i whakarerea ai e koutou? karangatia ki te kai taro.
21 And he was willing Moses to dwell with the man and he gave Zipporah daughter his to Moses.
A i pai a Mohi ki te noho ki taua tangata; a ka homai e ia a Hipora, tana tamahine, ki a Mohi.
22 And she bore a son and he called name his Gershom for he said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
A ka whanau ia, he tane, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Kerehoma. I mea hoki ia, He manene ahau i te whenua ke.
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.
Na i muri i nga ra e maha ka mate te kingi o Ihipa; a ka hotu te manawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te whakamahinga, a aue ana ratou; a ka puta ake ta ratou aue ki te Atua, no ratou hoki e whakamahia ana.
24 And he heard God groaning their and he remembered God covenant his with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob.
A ka rongo te Atua ki ta ratou tangi, ka mahara te Atua ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Hakopa, ki a Ihaka.
25 And he saw God [the] people of Israel and he knew God.
Na ka titiro te Atua ki nga tama a Iharaira, a ka mohio te Atua ki a ratou.
