Exodus 2
1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
Ja-Lawi moro nokendo nyar ja-dhoodgi,
2 The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
mi nomako ich monywolo nyathi ma wuowi. Ka noneno ni en nyathi ma jaber, nopande kuom dweche adek.
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
To ka koro ne ok onyal medo pande, nokawo osera mochwe gi togo momuono gi lowo kod odok. Bangʼe noketo nyathino ei oserano kendo noketo oserano ei odundu e tiend aora Nael.
4 His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
Nyamin nyathino nochungʼ gichien mondo one ane gima biro timore ni nyathino.
5 Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.
Eka nyar Farao nodhi e aora Nael mondo olwokre, ka jotichne to ne wuotho e geng aora. Nyar Farao noneno oserano ka ni e kind odundu, mine ooro jatichne ma nyako mondo ogeme.
6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Ne oele mi oyudo nyathi. Nyathino ne ywak, kendo nokeche mowacho niya, “Ma en achiel kuom nyithind jo-Hibrania.”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
Eka nyamin nyathino nopenjo nyar Farao niya, “Bende anyalo dhi mondo aluongni achiel kuom mond jo-Hibrania mondo opirni nyathini.”
8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The young woman went and called the child’s mother.
Nyar farao nodwoke niya, “Ee, dhiyo.” Kuom mano nyakono nodhi mokelo mana min nyathino.
9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.
Nyar Farao nowachone niya, “Kaw nyathini mondo ipidhna bangʼe abiro chuli.” Omiyo dhakono nokawo nyathino kendo norite.
10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Ka nyathino nosedongo mobedo maduongʼ nokawe motere ne nyar Farao kendo nyathino nodoko wuod nyar Farao. Nochake ni Musa kowacho niya, “Ne agole e pi.”
11 In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
Kane Musa osedoko ngʼat maduongʼ, chiengʼ moro nodhi ir owetene ma jo-Israel kendo noneno kaka negitiyo tich matek. Noneno achiel kuom jo-Hibrania wetene, ka igoyo kod ja-Misri.
12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Nogoyo machiemo koni gi koni, kendo kane ok oneno ngʼato, nonego ja-Misrino mi oike ei kuoyo.
13 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”
Kinyne nodok mi oneno jo-Hibrania ariyo ka dhawo. Nopenjo ngʼat ma nokwinyo nyawadgino niya, “Marangʼo igoyo ja-Hibrania wadu?”
14 He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura? Iparo mar nega kaka nyoro inego ja-Misri cha?” Ka Musa nowinjo kamano, kibaji nogoye mobedo maluor koparo niya, “Gima nyoro atimo nyaka bed ni osengʼere.”
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
Kane Farao owinjo wachno notemo mondo oneg Musa, kata kamano Musa noringo modhi odak e piny Midian, mi obet e bath soko moro.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Jadolo moro mar jo-Midian ne nigi nyiri abiriyo, negibiro tuomo pi ka giolo e karaya mondo jamb wuon-gi omodhi.
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Jokwath moko nobiro mondo oriembgi, to Musa noa malo moresogi kendo nomiyo jambgi pi omodho.
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
Bangʼe kane nyirigo odok ir Reuel wuon-gi, nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo udwogo chon kawuono?”
19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”
Negidwoke niya, “Ja-Misri moro noresowa e lwet jokwath, mi otuomonwa pi kendo omiyo jamni pi omodho.”
20 He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
Reuel nopenjo nyige niya, “En kanye? Marangʼo uweye? Luongeuru mondo oyud gimoro ocham.”
21 Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
Musa noyie mondo odag gi ngʼatno, mi Reuel nomiye nyare miluongo ni Zipora mondo obed chiege.
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
Zipora nonywolo wuowi mi Musa nochako nyinge ni Gershom, kowacho niya, “Asedoko jadak e piny ma ok marwa.”
23 In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
E kinde mane Musa pod odak Midian, Farao ruodh Misri notho. Jo-Israel ne ngʼur ahinya kuom tichgi mar wasumbini mi giywak malit, kendo ywakgi mondo oresgi e tich mar bedo misumba nochopo ir Nyasaye.
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Nyasaye nowinjo ngʼurgi mi oparo singruokne gi Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.
Kuom mano Nyasaye noneno kaka jo-Israel thagore mi wachno ne odonjo e chunye.
