Exodus 2
1 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin’ ny mpianakavin’ i Levy lasa naka vady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Levy.
2 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,
Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.
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;
Ary rehefa tsy azony nafenina intsony izy, dia nangalany fiara zozoro, ka nopetahany asfalta sy dity ny fiara, dia napetrany tao ny zaza; ary napetrany tao anaty zozoro teo amoron’ i Neily ny fiara.
4 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.
Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.
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,
Ary nidina ny zanakavavin’ i Farao mba handro tao Neily; ary ny ankizivaviny nitsangatsangana teny amoron’ i Neily; ary raha nahita ny fiara teo anaty zozoro ny zanakavavin’ i Farao, dia naniraka ny mpanompovaviny iray izy ka nampaka azy.
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.'
Ary nony nosokafany, dia hitany ny zazakely; ary indro fa zazalahy mitomany. Dia namindra fo taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Isan’ ny zanaky ny Hebreo ity.
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;'
Dia hoy kosa ny anabaviny tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao: Handeha haka mpitaiza amin’ ny vehivavy Hebreo va aho hankatỳ aminao mba hitaiza ny zaza ho anao?
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, 'Go;' and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,
Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin’ ny zaza.
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.
Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Ento ity zaza ity, ka tezao ho ahy, fa izaho handoa ny karamanao. Dia nentin-dravehivavy ny zaza ka notezainy.
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.'
Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia nentiny tao amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao izy, ka dia tonga zanany. Ary ny anarany nataony hoe Mosesy; fa hoy izy: Satria tamin’ ny rano no nangalako azy.
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,
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, rehefa lehibe Mosesy, dia nivoaka nankany amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nijery ny fanompoany mafy, ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana nanavokavoka ny anankiray tamin’ ny Hebreo rahalahiny.
12 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.
Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin’ ny fasika ny faty.
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?'
Ary nony ampitson’ iny, dia nivoaka indray izy, ary, indreo, nisy Hebreo roa lahy niady; dia hoy izy tamin’ ilay diso: Nahoana no mamono ny namanao ianao?
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.'
Fa hoy izy: Iza no nanendry an’ ialahy ho mpanapaka sy mpitsara anay? Moa mikasa hamono ahy koa va ialahy, tahaka ny namonoan’ ialahy ilay Egyptiana? Dia raiki-tahotra Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Hay! fantatr’ olona izany!
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.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Farao izany zavatra izany, dia nitady hamono an’ i Mosesy izy. Fa Mosesy nandositra ny tavan’ i Farao ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Midiana; ny nipetraka teo anilan’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy.
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,
Ary ny mpisorona tao Midiana nanana zanaka fito mirahavavy; ary avy izy ireo, dia nanovo rano ka nameno ny tavin-drano hampisotroany ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.
Ary avy kosa ny lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nandroaka azy; fa Mosesy nitsangana ka namonjy azy, dia nampisotro rano ny ondry aman’ osiny.
18 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, 'Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin-dRegoela rainy izy, dia hoy izy: Nahoana no dia nalaky tonga toy izany ianareo androany?
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;'
Ary hoy izy ireo: Nisy lehilahy Egyptiana anankiray namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpiandry ondry sady nanovo rano ho anay, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman’ osy.
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.'
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zananivavy: Ka aiza izy? Nahoana no nilaozanareo izany lehilahy izany? Alao izy mba hihinan-kanina.
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,
Ary sitrak’ i Mosesy ny hitoetra tao amin-dralehilahy. Ary Zipora zananivavy dia nomeny ho vadin’ i Mosesy.
22 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, 'A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
Dia niteraka zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany nataon-drainy hoe Gersoma; fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin’ ny tanin’ ny firenena hafa aho.
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;
Ary tao anatin’ izany andro maro izany dia maty ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nisento noho ny fanompoany ka nitaraina; ary niakatra tany amin’ Andriamanitra ny fitarainany noho ny fanompoany.
24 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
25 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
