< Exodus 2 >

1 Aftir these thingis a man of `the hows of Leuy yede out, and took a wijf of his kyn,
Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Levi a te marye ak yon fi nan menm branch fanmi an.
2 which conseyuede, and childide a sone. And sche seiy hym wel farynge, and hidde him bi thre monethis.
Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Lè li wè jan ti pitit la te bèl, li kache l' pandan twa mwa.
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,
Men, li pa t' kapab kache l' pi lontan pase sa. Se konsa, li pran yon panyen jon, li badijonnen l' byen badijonnen ak goudwon ansanm ak gonm bwapen. Li mete ti pitit la ladan l'. Lèfini, li mete panyen an ak tout pitit la ladan l' nan mitan yon touf wozo, sou bò gwo larivyè a.
4 the while his sistir stood afer, and bihelde the bifalling of the thing.
Sè ti pitit la menm te rete kanpe yon ti distans pou l' wè sak tapral rive pitit la.
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,
Pitit fi farawon an desann bò gwo larivyè a pou l' al benyen. Medam ki te avè l' yo t'ap mache bò larivyè a. Fi farawon an wè panyen an nan mitan touf wozo yo. Li voye sèvant li a al pran l'.
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.
Li louvri panyen an, li wè ti pitit la: se te yon ti gason ki t'ap kriye. Kè l' fè l' mal pou li. Li di: -Se yonn nan timoun ebre yo.
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?
Lè sa a, sè ti gason an pwoche, li di pitit fi farawon an: -Eske ou vle m al chache yon nouris pou ou nan mitan medam ebre yo pou bay ti pitit la tete pou ou?
8 She answeride, Go thou. The damysel yede, and clepide the `modir of the child.
Fi Farawon an di li: -Ale non. Ti fi a al chache manman ti pitit la.
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,
Fi farawon an di manman an konsa: -Pran ti pitit sa a, mete l' nan tete pou mwen. m'a peye ou pou sa. Madanm lan pran ti pitit la, li ba l' tete.
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.
Lè ti gason an vin gran ti bway, li mennen l' bay fi farawon an ki adopte l' pou pitit li. Lè sa a, fi farawon an di: -Se nan dlo mwen wete l'. Se konsa, li rele l' Moyiz.
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.
Lè sa a, Moyiz te fin grandi. Yon jou, li soti pou l' al vizite moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li yo. Li wè jan yo t'ap fè yo travay di. Li wè yon moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap bimen yon ebre anba kou, yonn nan moun parèy li yo.
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.
Li voye je l' adwat, li voye je l' agoch, li pa wè pesonn. Li touye moun pèyi Lejip la, li fouye yon twou nan sab la, li kache kadav la.
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?
Nan denmen, li soti ankò, li wè de ebre ki t'ap goumen. Li di sa ki te antò a: -Poukisa w'ap maltrete moun menm ras ak ou konsa?
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?
Men, nonm lan reponn li: -Kilès ki mete ou chèf pou kòmande nou? Gen lè ou vle touye m' menm jan ou te touye moun peyi Lejip la? Moyiz vin pè, li di nan kè l': -Aa! Gen moun ki konnen sa m' te fè a!
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.
Farawon an pran nouvèl sak te pase. Li t'ap chache Moyiz pou touye l'. Men Moyiz chape kò l' anba men l', l' al rete nan peyi Madyan. Rive la, li chita bò yon pi.
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.
Prèt peyi Madyan an te gen sèt pitit fi. Yo te vin tire dlo pou plen ganmèl yo pou bay mouton papa yo bwè.
17 Scheepherdis camen aboue, and dreuen hem awei; and Moises roos, and defendide the dameselis; and he watride `the scheep of hem.
Men, kèk lòt gadò mouton vin rive, yo kouri dèyè medam yo. Moyiz leve, li pran defans yo, epi li bay mouton medam yo bwè.
18 And whanne thei hadden turned ayen to Jetro, her fadir, he seide to hem, Whi camen ye swiftliere than ye weren wont?
Lè medam yo tounen lakay Reouyèl, papa yo, li mande yo: -Ki jan nou fè tounen vit konsa jòdi a?
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.
Yo reponn li: -Se yon moun peyi Lejip ki te delivre nou anba men gadò mouton yo. Apre sa, se li menm ankò ki tire dlo pou nou bay bèt yo bwè.
20 And he seide, Where is that man? whi leften ye the man? clepe ye hym, that he ete breed.
Reouyèl mande pitit fi li yo: -Kote msye? Poukisa nou kite l' laba a? Al rele l' pou l' vin pran kichòy ak nou.
21 Therfor Moises swoor, that he wolde dwelle with Jetro; and he took a wijf, Sefora, `the douyter of Jetro.
Moyiz te dakò pou l' te rete lakay nonm sa a. Reouyèl bay Moyiz Sefora, yonn nan pitit fi li yo, pou madanm.
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.
Sefora fè yon ti gason. Lè sa a, Moyiz di: -Se moun vini mwen ye nan yon peyi etranje. Se konsa, li te rele pitit la Gèchon.
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.
Lontan apre sa, wa Lejip la mouri. Pèp Izrayèl la t'ap plenn pi rèd anba esklavaj. Yo t'ap rele gras mizèrikòd. Bondye te tande jan yo t'ap rele, jan yo t'ap plenn anba esklavaj la.
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,
Bondye tande rèl yo, li vin chonje kontra li te pase ak Abraram ak Izarak epi ak Jakòb.
25 and knewe hem.
Bondye te wè nan ki sitiyasyon moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye, li pran kòz yo nan men l'.
