Exodus 2
1 Aftir these thingis a man of `the hows of Leuy yede out, and took a wijf of his kyn,
Neki čovjek od Levijeva koljena ode i oženi se djevojkom Levijkom.
2 which conseyuede, and childide a sone. And sche seiy hym wel farynge, and hidde him bi thre monethis.
Žena zače i rodi sina. Vidjevši kako je krasan, krila ga je tri mjeseca.
3 And whanne sche myyte not hele, thanne sche took a `leep of segge, and bawmede it with tar and pitch, and puttide the yong child with ynne, and puttide hym forth in a `place of spier of the brenke of the flood,
Kad ga nije mogla više sakrivati, nabavi košaricu od papirusove trstike, oblijepi je smolom i paklinom, u nju stavi dijete i položi ga u trstiku na obali Rijeke.
4 the while his sistir stood afer, and bihelde the bifalling of the thing.
Njegova sestra stane podalje da vidi što će s njime biti.
5 Lo! forsothe the douytir of Farao cam doun to be waischun in the flood, and hir damysels walkiden bi the brenke of the flood. And whanne sche hadde seyn a leep in the `place of spier, sche sente oon of hir seruauntessis,
Faraonova kći siđe k Rijeci da se kupa, dok su njezine sluškinje šetale uz obalu Rijeke. Opazi ona košaricu u trstici, pa pošalje sluškinju da je donese.
6 and sche openyde the leep brouyt to hir, and seiy a litil child wepynge ther ynne. And sche hadde mercy on the child, and seide, It is of the yonge children of Ebrews.
Otvori je i pogleda, a to u njoj dijete! Muško čedo. Plakalo je. Njoj se sažali na nj. “Bit će to hebrejsko dijete”, reče.
7 To whom the `sister of the child seide, Wolt thou that Y go, and clepe to thee an Ebrew womman, that may nurische the yong child?
Onda njegova sestra rekne faraonovoj kćeri: “Hoćeš li da ti potražim dojilju među Hebrejkama da ti dijete doji?”
8 She answeride, Go thou. The damysel yede, and clepide the `modir of the child.
“Idi!” - odgovori joj faraonova kći. Tako djevojka ode i pozove djetetovu majku.
9 To whom `the douytir of Farao spak, and seide, Take thou this child, and nurische to me; Y schal yyue to thee thi mede. The womman took, and nurischide the child, and bitook hym woxun to `the douytir of Farao,
“Uzmi ovo dijete”, rekne joj faraonova kći, “i odgoji mi ga, a ja ću te plaćati.” Tako žena uzme dijete i othrani ga.
10 whom sche purchaside `in to the place of sone; and sche clepide his name Moises, and seide, For Y took hym fro the watir.
Kad je dijete odraslo, ona ga odvede faraonovoj kćeri, koja ga posini. Nadjene mu ime Mojsije, “jer sam ga”, reče, “iz vode izvadila”.
11 In tho daies, aftir that Moises encreesside, he yede out to hise britheren, and seiy the turment of hem, and a man Egipcian smytynge `oon of Ebrews, hise britheren.
Jednog dana, kad je Mojsije već odrastao, dođe među svoj narod i vidje njegove muke. Spazi tada kako neki Egipćanin tuče jednoga Hebrejca - brata njegova.
12 And whanne he hadde biholdun hidur and thidir, and hadde seyn, that no man was present, he killide the Egipcian, and hidde in soond.
Okrene se tamo-amo i, vidjevši da nikoga nema, ubije Egipćanina i zatrpa ga u pijesak.
13 And he yede out in another dai, and seiy tweyne Ebrews chidynge, and he seide to hym that dide wrong, Whi smytist thou thi brother?
Izađe on i sutradan te zateče dva Hebrejca kako se tuku. “Zašto tučeš svoga druga?” - rekne napadaču.
14 Which answeride, Who ordeynede thee prince, ether iuge on vs? Whether thou wolt sle me, as thou killidist yisterdai the Egipcian? Moises dredde, and seide, Hou is this word maad opun?
Ovaj odvrati: “Tko te postavi za starješinu i suca našega? Kaniš li ubiti i mene kako si ubio onog Egipćanina?” Mojsije se uplaši pa će u sebi: “Tako! Ipak se saznalo.”
15 And Farao herde this word, and souyte to sle Moyses, which fledde fro his siyt, and dwellide in the lond of Madian, and sat bisidis a pit.
Kad je faraon to dočuo, htjede Mojsija pogubiti. Zato Mojsije pobjegne od faraona i skloni se u midjansku zemlju. Ondje sjedne kraj nekog studenca.
16 Forsothe seuene douytris weren to the preest of Madian, that camen to drawe watir; and whanne the trouyis weren fillid, thei coueitiden to watere `the flockis of her fadir.
Midjanski je svećenik imao sedam kćeri. Dođu one da zahvate vode i naliju pojila, da napoje stado svoga oca.
17 Scheepherdis camen aboue, and dreuen hem awei; and Moises roos, and defendide the dameselis; and he watride `the scheep of hem.
Ali dođu i pastiri te ih potjeraju. Mojsije ustane, obrani ih i stado im napoji.
18 And whanne thei hadden turned ayen to Jetro, her fadir, he seide to hem, Whi camen ye swiftliere than ye weren wont?
Kad su se vratile svome ocu Reuelu, on ih zapita: “Kako ste se danas tako brzo vratile?”
19 Thei answeriden, A man of Egipt delyuerede vs fro the hond of scheepherdis; ferthermore and he drow watir with vs, and yaf drynk to the scheep.
One odgovore: “Neki Egipćanin obrani nas od pastira i još nam zahvati vode i stado nam napoji.”
20 And he seide, Where is that man? whi leften ye the man? clepe ye hym, that he ete breed.
“Gdje je?” - zapita on svoje kćeri. “Zašto ste ostavile toga čovjeka? Pozovite ga na objed.”
21 Therfor Moises swoor, that he wolde dwelle with Jetro; and he took a wijf, Sefora, `the douyter of Jetro.
Mojsije pristane da ostane kod toga čovjeka. On oženi Mojsija svojom kćeri Siporom.
22 And sche childide a sone to hym, whom he clepide Gersan, and seide, Y was a comelyng in an alyen lond. Forsothe sche childide an othir sone, whom he clepide Eliezer, and seide, For God of my fadir is myn helpere, and delyuerede me fro the hond of Farao.
A kad ona rodi sina, on mu nadjene ime Geršon, “jer sam”, reče, “stranac u tuđoj zemlji”.
23 Forsothe aftir myche tyme the kyng of Egipt diede, and the sones of Israel inwardli weiliden for werkis, and crieden, and the cry of hem for werkis stiede to God.
Poslije mnogo vremena umre egipatski kralj. Izraelci su još stenjali u ropstvu. Vapili su, a njihov vapaj za pomoć sred ropstva uzlazio je k Bogu.
24 And he herde the weilyng of hem, and he hadde mynde of the boond of pees, which he hadde maad with Abraham, Ysaac, and Jacob; and he bihelde the sones of Israel,
Bog je čuo njihovo zapomaganje i sjetio se svoga Saveza s Abrahamom, Izakom i Jakovom.
25 and knewe hem.
I pogleda Bog na Izraelce i zauze se za njih.
