Exodus 2
1 (There was a man who/My father) was descended from [Jacob’s son] Levi. He married a woman who was [also] descended from Levi.
Ita, maysa a lalaki iti tribu ni Levi ti nangasawa iti maysa a babai a kaputotan ni Levi.
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to (a baby boy/me). When she saw that he/I was a good-looking baby, she hid him/me for three months, [because she was not willing to do what the king commanded].
Nagsikog ti babai ket naganak iti maysa a lalaki. Idi nakitana a nasalun-at isuna nga ubing, inlemmengna isuna iti las-ud iti tallo a bulan.
3 When she was unable to (hide him/me/keep it a secret) any longer, she got a basket made from tall reeds. She covered the basket with tar ([to make it waterproof/so water could not get in]). Then she put him/me in the basket and put the basket in [the water] in the middle of the tall grass at the edge of the Nile [River].
Ngem idi saannan a mailemmeng isuna, nangala iti maysa a basket a naaramid iti runo ket sineraanna daytoy iti pitak ken betun. Kalpasanna, inkargana ti ubing iti daytoy ket inkabilna iti ayan dagiti runo iti danum iti igid ti karayan.
4 His/My older sister was standing not far away, [watching to see] what would happen to him/me.
Nagtakder ti kabsatna a babai iti saan unay nga adayo tapno makitana no ania ti mapasamak kenkuana.
5 [Soon] the king’s daughter went down to the river to bathe. Her female servants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket amid the tall grass [in the river]. So she sent [one of] her servants to get it.
Simmalog ti anak a babai ni Faraon tapno agdigos iti karayan kabayatan nga agpagnapagna dagiti agserserbi kenkuana iti igid ti karayan. Nakitana ti basket iti karunoan ket imbaonna ti agserserbi kenkuana a mangala iti daytoy.
6 When [the servant brought the basket to her], she opened it, and was surprised to see (a baby that was/me), crying. She felt sorry for him/me, and said, “This [must] be one of the Hebrews’ babies.”
Idi linukatanna daytoy, nakitana ti ubing. Adtoy, agsangsangit ti maladaga. Naasian isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Awan duadua a maysa kadagiti annak dagiti Hebreo daytoy.”
7 Then (the baby’s/my) [older] sister [approached] the king’s daughter and said, “Do you want me to go and find someone from among the Hebrew women who will [be able to] nurse the baby for you?”
Ket kinuna ti kabsat ti maladaga iti anak a babai ni Faraon, “Mapanak kadi ket ibirukanka ti Hebreo a babai a mangpasuso iti ubing para kenka?”
8 The king’s daughter said to her, “[Yes], go [and find one].” So the girl went and summoned (the baby’s/my) mother.
Kinuna ti anak a babai ni Faraon kenkuana, “Mapanka.” Isu a napan ti balasitang ket inayabanna ti ina ti ubing.
9 The king’s daughter said to her, “[Please] take this baby and nurse him for me. I will pay you [for doing that].” So (the woman/my mother) took him/me and nursed him/me.
Kinuna ti anak a babai ni Faraon iti ina ti maladaga, “Alaem daytoy nga ubing ket pasusoem isuna para kaniak ket tangdanankanto.” Isu nga innala ti babai ti ubing ket pinasusona.
10 ([A few years later]/when (the child/I) grew [older]), she brought him/me to the king’s daughter. She adopted him/me [as though I was] her own son. She named him/me Moses, [which sounds like the Hebrew words ‘pull out’], because she said “I pulled him out of the water.”
Idi dimmakkelen ti ubing, impanna daytoy iti anak ni Faraon, ket nagbalin isuna nga anakna a lalaki. Pinanagananna daytoy iti Moises ket kinunana, “Gapu ta innalak isuna manipud iti danum.”
11 One day, after Moses/I had grown up, he/I went out [of the palace area] to see his/my people, [the Hebrews]. He/I saw how they were being [forced to work] very hard. He/I [also] saw an Egyptian [man] beating one of his/my Hebrew people.
Idi dimmakkelen ni Moises, napan isuna kadagiti tattaona ket pinaliiwna ti narigat a trabahoda. Nakitana ti maysa nga Egipcio a dangdangranna ti maysa a Hebreo, maysa kadagiti tattaona.
12 He/I looked around [to see if anyone was watching]. Seeing no one, he/I killed the Egyptian man and buried his [body] in the sand.
Timmaliaw iti agsinnumbangir, ket idi nakitana nga awan ti tao sadiay, pinatayna ti Egipcio ket inlemmengna ti bagina iti kadaratan.
13 The next day he/I returned [to the same place]. He/I was surprised to see two Hebrew men who were fighting [each other]. He/I said to the man who started the fight, “Why are you (you should not be) striking your fellow [Hebrew].”
Rimmuar isuna iti simmaruno nga aldaw, ket, adtoy, dua a lallaki a Hebreo ti aglablaban. Kinunana iti maysa a nagbiddut, “Apay a kabkabilem ti kaduam?”
14 The man replied, “(Who made you our ruler and judge?/No one made you our ruler and judge!) [RHQ] [You have no right to interfere with us] Are you going to kill me just like you killed that Egyptian man [yesterday]?” Then Moses/I was afraid, [because] he/I thought, “[Since that man knows what I did], surely [other people] know, [too].”
Ngem kinuna ti lalaki, “Siasino ti nangaramid kenka a mangidaulo ken mangukom kadakami? Pangpanggepennak kadi a patayen a kas ti panangpataymo iti dayta nga Egipcio?” Nagbuteng ni Moises ket kinunana, “Awan duadua a naammuanen dagiti sabali ti inaramidko.”
15 [And that was correct]. The king heard about what he/I had done [to that Egyptian. So he ordered his soldiers to] execute/kill Moses/me. But he/I fled from the king [and left Egypt. He/I traveled east to] the Midian [region] and started to live there.
Ita, idi nangngeg ni Faraon daytoy, pinadasna a patayen ni Moises. Ngem naglibas ni Moises manipud kenni Faraon ket nagnaed idiay daga ti Midian. Nagtugaw isuna sadiay iti igid ti maysa a bubon.
16 The man who was the (priest/one who offered the people’s gifts to God) for the Midian people, [whose name was Jethro], had seven daughters. [One day] as Moses/I sat down beside a well, those girls came [to the well] and got water, and filled the troughs in order to give water to their father’s flock [of sheep].
Ita, addaan ti pito nga annak a babbai ti padi ti Midian. Immayda nagsakdo iti danum, ket pinunnoda dagiti pagkargaan ti danum tapno painumenda ti arban ti amada.
17 Some (shepherds/men who took care of other sheep) came and started to chase away the girls. But Moses/I helped/rescued the girls, and got water for their sheep.
Immay dagiti agpaspastor ket pinadasda a papanawen ida, ngem tinulongan ni Moises ida. Kalpasanna, pinainomna dagiti arbanda.
18 When the girls returned to their father [Jethro], [whose other name is] Reuel, he asked them, “How is it that you were able to [give water to the sheep and] come home so quickly today?”
Idi nagawid dagiti babbai iti amada a ni Reuel kinunana, “Apay a nasapakayo a nagawid ita?”
19 They replied, “A man from Egypt kept [MTY] other shepherds from sending us away. He also got water for us [from the well] and gave water to the flock [of sheep].”
Kinunada, “Maysa nga Egipcio ti nangispal kadakami manipud kadagiti agpaspastor. Insakduannakami pay iti danum ken pinainomna ti arban.”
20 He said to his daughters, “Where is he? (Why did you leave him [out there]?/You should not leave him [out there]!) [RHQ] Invite him [in], so he can have something to eat [MTY]!”
Kinunana kadagiti annakna, “Sadino ti ayanna? Apay a pinanawanyo ti lalaki? Ayabanyo isuna tapno makipangan isuna kadatayo.”
21 [So they did], and Moses/I [accepted and ate with them]. And Moses/I decided to live there. Later Jethro gave him/me his daughter Zipporah [to be his/my wife].
Immannugot ni Moises a makipagnaed iti lalaki, a nangited pay kenkuana iti anakna a ni Sefora nga agbalin nga asawana.
22 Later she gave birth to a son, and Moses/I named him Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘foreigner’], because he/I said, “I am living as a foreigner in [this] land.”
Naganak isuna iti maysa a lalaki ket pinananaganan ni Moises ti Gersom; kinunana, “Nagnanaedak iti daga ti gangannaet.”
23 Many years later the king of Egypt died. The Israeli people [in Egypt] were still groaning because of the [hard work they had to do as] slaves. They called out for [someone to] help them, and God heard them call out [PRS].
Kalpasan ti nabayag a tiempo, natay ti ari iti Egipto. Nagasug dagiti Israelita gapu iti pannakaadipenda. Nagsangitda iti napigsa para iti tulong ket dimmanon iti Dios dagiti pakaasida gapu iti pannakabaludda.
24 He heard them groaning. And he (thought about/did not forget) that he had solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [to bless their descendants].
Idi nangngeg ti Dios dagiti as-asugda, nalagip ti Dios ti tulagna kenni Abraham, kenni Isaac ken kenni Jacob.
25 God saw how the Israeli people were [being badly treated], and he was concerned about them.
Nakita ti Dios dagiti Israelita, ket naawatanna ti kasasaadda.
