Exodus 2
1 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,
Ndipo munthu wina wa fuko la Levi anakwatira mkazi wa fuko lomwelo.
2 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,
Mkaziyo anatenga pathupi ndipo anabereka mwana wamwamuna. Ataona kuti mwanayo anali wokongola, anamubisa kwa miyezi itatu.
3 and she hath not been able any more to hide him, and she taketh for him an ark of rushes, and daubeth it with bitumen and with pitch, and putteth the lad in it, and putteth [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;
Koma mwanayo atafika pa msinkhu woti sakanathanso kubisidwa, amayi ake anatenga kadengu kopangidwa ndi bango nakamata phula. Kenaka anayika mwanayo mʼmenemo ndi kukamuyika pa mabango mu mtsinje wa Nailo.
4 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.
Mlongo wake wa mwanayo anayima pataliko kuti aone chimene chidzamuchitikira mwanayo.
5 And a daughter of Pharaoh cometh down to bathe at the River, and her damsels are walking by the side of the River, and she seeth the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sendeth her handmaid, and she taketh it,
Mwana wamkazi wa Farao anapita ku mtsinje wa Nailo kukasamba ndipo adzakazi ake ankayenda mʼmbali mwa mtsinjewo. Tsono mwana wa Farao uja anaona kadenguko pakati pa mabango ndipo anatuma mdzakazi wake kuti akakatenge.
6 and openeth, and seeth him — the lad, and lo, a child weeping! and she hath pity on him, and saith, 'This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.'
Iye atavundukula anaona mwana wamwamuna akungolira. Iye anamva naye chisoni mwana uja, nati, “Ameneyu ndi mmodzi mwa ana a Chihebri.”
7 And his sister saith unto the daughter of Pharaoh, 'Do I go? when I have called for thee a suckling woman of the Hebrews, then she doth suckle the lad for thee;'
Kenaka mlongo wake wa mwanayo anafunsa mwana wa Farao kuti, “Ndingapite kukakupezerani mmodzi mwa amayi a Chihebri kuti azikakulererani mwanayu?”
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Go;' and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,
Iye anayankha kuti, “Inde, pita.” Ndipo mtsikanayo anapita nakayitana amayi a mwanayo.
9 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Take this lad away, and suckle him for me, and I — I give thy hire;' and the woman taketh the lad, and suckleth him.
Mwana wa Farao anati, “Tengani mwanayu mukandilerere, ndidzakulipirani.” Mayiyo anatenga mwanayo kukamulera.
10 And the lad groweth, and she bringeth him in to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calleth his name Moses, and saith, 'Because — from the water I have drawn him.'
Mwanayo atakula anakamupereka kwa mwana wa Farao ndipo anakhala mwana wake. Iye anamutcha dzina lake Mose, popeza anati, “Ndinamuvuwula mʼmadzi.”
11 And it cometh to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goeth out unto his brethren, and looketh on their burdens, and seeth a man, an Egyptian, smiting a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brethren,
Tsiku lina, Mose atakula, anapita kumene kunali anthu a mtundu wake ndipo anawaona akugwira ntchito yowawa. Iye anaona Mwigupto akumenya Mhebri, mmodzi mwa anthu a mtundu wake.
12 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.
Atayangʼana uku ndi uku, naona kuti panalibe wina aliyense, Mose anamupha Mwiguptoyo ndipo anamukwirira mu mchenga.
13 And he goeth out on the second day, and lo, two men, Hebrews, striving! and he saith to the wrong-doer, 'Why dost thou smite thy neighbour?'
Mmawa mwake Mose anapita ndipo anaona anthu awiri a Chihebri akumenyana. Iye anafunsa amene anali wolakwa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani ukumenya Mhebri mnzako?”
14 and he saith, 'Who set thee for a head and a judge over us? to slay me art thou saying [it], as thou hast slain the Egyptian?' and Moses feareth, and saith, 'Surely the thing hath been known.'
Munthu uja anati, “Kodi ndani anakuyika kuti ukhale wotilamulira ndi wotiweruza? Kodi ukufuna kundipha monga momwe unaphera Mwigupto uja?” Mose anachita mantha ndipo anati mu mtima mwake, “Chimene ndinachita chija chadziwika.”
15 And Pharaoh heareth of this thing, and seeketh to slay Moses, and Moses fleeth from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelleth in the land of Midian, and dwelleth by the well.
Farao atamva zimenezi anafuna kuti aphe Mose, koma Mose anathawa ndipo anapita kukakhala ku Midiyani. Ali kumeneko, tsiku lina anakhala pansi pafupi ndi chitsime.
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,
Wansembe wa ku Midiyaniko anali ndi ana aakazi asanu ndi awiri. Iwowa anabwera kudzatunga madzi ndi kudzaza mu zomwera kuti amwetse nkhosa za abambo awo.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.
Koma kunabwera abusa ena amene anathamangitsa atsikana aja. Ndiye Mose anayimirira nawathandiza atsikana aja ndi kumwetsa nkhosa zawo.
18 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, 'Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'
Atsikana aja atabwerera kwa abambo awo Reueli, iye anawafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani lero mwabwera msanga?”
19 and they say, 'A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for us, and watereth the flock;'
Atsikanawo anayankha kuti, “Mwigupto wina ndiye watilanditsa kwa abusa. Ndiponso anatitungira madzi ndi kumwetsa ziweto zathu.”
20 and he saith unto his daughters, 'And where [is] he? why [is] this? — ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.'
Tsono Reueli anafunsa ana ake kuti, “Ndiye ali kuti munthuyo? Chifukwa chiyani mwamusiya? Kamuyitaneni kuti adzadye.”
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,
Mose anavomera kukhala ndi Reueli, ndipo anamupatsa Zipora kuti akhale mkazi wake.
22 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, 'A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
Zipora anabereka mwana wa mwamuna amene Mose anamutcha Geresomu, popeza anati, “Ndakhala mlendo mʼdziko la eni.”
23 And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of the service;
Nthawi yonseyo nʼkuti ana a Israeli akulira chifukwa cha ukapolo wawo uja. Iwo anafuwula kupempha thandizo, ndipo kulira kwawoko kunafika kwa Mulungu.
24 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Mulungu anamva kubuwula kwawo ndipo anakumbukira pangano lake ndi Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo.
25 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
Mulungu ataona Aisraeli aja ndi masautso awo, Iye anawamvera chifundo.
