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.
| پیاوێک لە بنەماڵەی لێڤی کچێکی لێڤی هێنا. |
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].
| ژنەکە سکی پڕ بوو و کوڕێکی بوو، کە بینی منداڵەکە جوانە، سێ مانگ شاردییەوە. |
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].
| بەڵام کاتێک نەیتوانی لەوە زیاتر بیشارێتەوە، سەبەتەیەکی لە زەل دروستکراوی هێنا و بە قیر و زفت سواخی دا و کوڕەکەی لەناو دانا، ئینجا لە کەناری نیل لەناو قامیشەڵان داینا. |
4 His/My older sister was standing not far away, [watching to see] what would happen to him/me.
| خوشکی منداڵەکەش لە دوورەوە وەستا بۆ ئەوەی بزانێت چی لێدێت. |
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.
| کچی فیرعەونیش کە بۆ خۆشوشتن هاتە خوارەوە بۆ سەر ڕووباری نیل و کەنیزەکانیشی لەسەر کەناری نیل هاتوچۆیان دەکرد، سەبەتەکەی لەناو قامیشەڵانەکە بینی و کچە خزمەتکارەکەی نارد تاکو بیهێنێت. |
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.”
| ئەویش کردییەوە و تەماشای منداڵەکەی کرد، بینی کوڕێکە و دەگریێ، بەزەیی پێدا هاتەوە و گوتی: «ئەمە یەکێکە لە منداڵی عیبرانییەکان.» |
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?”
| خوشکی منداڵەکەش لە کچی فیرعەونی پرسی: «ئایا بچم ژنێکی شیردەری عیبرانیت بۆ بانگ بکەم بۆ ئەوەی شیر بە منداڵەکە بدات؟» |
8 The king’s daughter said to her, “[Yes], go [and find one].” So the girl went and summoned (the baby’s/my) mother.
| کچی فیرعەونیش وەڵامی دایەوە: «بڕۆ.» کچە عازەبەکەش چوو دایکی منداڵەکەی بانگکرد. |
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.
| کچی فیرعەونیش پێی گوت: «ئەم منداڵە ببە و شیری بدە بۆم، منیش کرێیەکەت دەدەمێ.» ژنەش منداڵەکەی برد و شیری دایێ. |
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.”
| کاتێک منداڵەکە گەورە بوو، بۆ کچی فیرعەونی هێنایەوە، ئیتر بوو بە کوڕی ئەو و ناوی لێنا «موسا» و گوتی: «لەبەر ئەوەی لەناو ئاو هەڵمگرتووەتەوە.» |
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.
| کاتێک موسا گەورە بوو، ڕۆژێکیان چووە دەرەوە بۆ لای براکانی و سەیری بارگرانییەکانی کرد و بینی پیاوێکی میسری لە پیاوێکی عیبرانیی برای دەدات. |
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.
| ئەویش تەماشای ئەم لا و ئەو لای کرد و بینی کەسی لێ نییە، ئیتر میسرییەکەی کوشت و لەناو لم شاردییەوە. |
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].”
| بۆ ڕۆژی دووەم چووە دەرەوە و بینی دوو پیاوی عیبرانی شەڕ دەکەن. لە خەتابارەکەی پرسی: «بۆچی لە هاوەڵەکەت دەدەیت؟» |
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].”
| ئەویش گوتی: «کێ تۆی کردووە بە گەورە و دادوەر بەسەرمانەوە؟ ئایا دەتەوێ بمکوژیت هەروەک میسرییەکەت کوشت؟» جا موسا ترسا و گوتی: «بێگومان ئەم کارە زانراوە!» |
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.
| کاتێک فیرعەون گوێی لەمە بوو، هەوڵی دا موسا بکوژێت، بەڵام موسا لە دەست فیرعەون هەڵات و لە خاکی میدیان جێگیر بوو، لەلای بیرێک دانیشت. |
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].
| کاهینی میدیانیش حەوت کچی هەبوو، هاتن و ئاویان هەڵکێشا، ئاخوڕەکانیان پڕکرد بۆ ئاودانی مەڕەکانی باوکیان. |
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.
| لەو کاتەدا شوان هاتن و دەریانکردن، بەڵام موسا هەستا و فریایان کەوت و مەڕەکانی ئاودان. |
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?”
| کچەکانیش هاتنە لای ڕەعوئێلی باوکیان، ئەویش لێی پرسین: «بۆچی ئەمڕۆ زوو هاتنەوە؟» |
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].”
| ئەوانیش وەڵامیان دایەوە: «پیاوێکی میسری فریامان کەوت لە دەست شوانەکان، هەروەها ئاوی بۆ کێشاین و مەڕەکانیشی ئاو دا.» |
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]!”
| ئەویش بە کچەکانی گوت: «ئەی لەکوێیە؟ بۆ پیاوەکەتان بەجێهێشت؟ بانگهێشتی بکەن با نان بخوات.» |
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].
| موسا ڕازی بوو لەگەڵ ئەو پیاوە بمێنێتەوە. ئەویش چیپۆرەی کچی دایە موسا. |
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.”
| چیپۆرەش کوڕێکی بوو، موساش ناوی لێنا گێرشۆم، چونکە گوتی: «نامۆ بووم لە خاکی بێگانە.» |
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].
| ئەوە بوو لەو ماوە درێژە، پاشای میسر مرد. نەوەی ئیسرائیلیش ئاهیان هەڵکێشا لە دەست کۆیلایەتی و هاواریان کرد بۆ یارمەتی، گریانەکەیان بەهۆی کۆیلایەتییەوە بۆ خودا بەرزبووەوە. |
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].
| خوداش گوێی لە ناڵەیان بوو و پەیمانەکەی خۆی لەیاد بوو لەگەڵ ئیبراهیم و ئیسحاق و یاقوب. |
25 God saw how the Israeli people were [being badly treated], and he was concerned about them.
| ئیتر خودا ڕوانییە نەوەی ئیسرائیل و بایەخی پێدان. |
