Exodus 2
1 And he went a man from [the] house of Levi and he took [the] daughter of Levi.
Så var det en mann av Levis hus som gikk bort og tok en Levis datter til ekte.
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.
Og kvinnen blev fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn; og da hun så at det var et vakkert barn, skjulte hun ham i tre måneder.
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.
Men da hun ikke lenger kunne skjule ham, tok hun en kiste til ham av rør og smurte den over med jordbek og tjære, og hun la gutten i den og satte den i sivet ved elvebredden.
4 And she stood sister his from a distance to know what? will it be done to him.
Men hans søster stod et stykke fra for å få vite hvorledes det gikk ham.
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)*)
Da kom Faraos datter ned til elven for å bade sig, mens hennes jomfruer gikk frem og tilbake på elvebredden; hun fikk se kisten midt i sivet og sendte sin pike avsted og lot den hente.
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.
Da hun åpnet den, så hun barnet, og se, det var en gutt som lå der og gråt; da ynkedes hun over ham og sa: Det er en av hebreernes guttebarn.
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.
Da sa hans søster til Faraos datter: Skal jeg gå og hente en amme til dig blandt de hebraiske kvinner, så hun kan fostre op barnet for dig?
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.
Faraos datter svarte henne: Ja, gå! Og piken gikk og hentet guttens mor.
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.
Da sa Faraos datter til henne: Ta denne gutt og fostre ham op for mig; jeg vil gi dig lønn for det. Og konen tok gutten og fostret ham op.
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.
Da gutten blev voksen, gikk hun med ham til Faraos datter, og han blev som en sønn for henne; hun kalte ham Moses, for - sa hun - av vannet har jeg dradd ham op.
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.
Og det hendte på den tid da Moses var blitt voksen, at han gikk ut til sine brødre og så på deres slit og slep, og han fikk se en egyptisk mann som slo en hebraisk mann, en av hans brødre.
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.
Da vendte han sig hit og dit og så at det ikke var nogen der, og så slo han egypteren ihjel og skjulte ham i sanden.
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.
Den andre dag gikk han atter ut og så to hebraiske menn som holdt på å slåss; da sa han til ham som hadde urett: Hvorfor slår du din landsmann?
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.
Han svarte: Hvem har satt dig til høvding og dommer over oss? Tenker du å slå mig ihjel, likesom du slo egypteren ihjel? Da blev Moses redd og sa: Sannelig, saken er blitt kjent.
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.
Da Farao fikk høre det, søkte han å slå Moses ihjel; men Moses flyktet for Farao, og han tok bolig i landet Midian og bodde ved en brønn.
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.
Presten i Midian hadde syv døtre; de kom og øste op vann og fylte vannrennene for å vanne sin fars småfe.
17 And they came the shepherds and they drove away them and he arose Moses and he delivered them and he watered flock their.
Så kom det nogen gjætere og drev dem bort; men Moses stod op og hjalp dem og vannet deres småfe.
18 And they went to Reuel father their and he said why? did you hurry to come this day.
Da de så kom hjem til Re'uel, sin far, sa han: Hvorfor kommer I så snart idag?
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.
De svarte: En egyptisk mann hjalp oss mot gjæterne, og han øste også vann for oss og vannet småfeet.
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.
Da sa han til sine døtre: Hvor er han da? Hvorfor lot I mannen bli igjen der? Be ham inn, så han kan ete med oss!
21 And he was willing Moses to dwell with the man and he gave Zipporah daughter his to Moses.
Og Moses samtykket i å bli hos mannen; og han lot Moses få sin datter Sippora til hustru.
22 And she bore a son and he called name his Gershom for he said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
Hun fikk en sønn, og han kalte ham Gersom; for han sa: Jeg er blitt en gjest i et fremmed land.
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.
Da lang tid var gått, døde kongen i Egypten, og Israels barn sukket over sin trældom og klaget; og deres rop over trældommen steg op til Gud.
24 And he heard God groaning their and he remembered God covenant his with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob.
Og Gud hørte deres sukk, og Gud kom i hu sin pakt med Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
25 And he saw God [the] people of Israel and he knew God.
Og Gud så til Israels barn, og Gud kjentes ved dem.
