Egzòd 2
1 Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Levi a te marye ak yon fi nan menm branch fanmi an.
And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took to wife one of the daughters of Levi.
2 Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Lè li wè jan ti pitit la te bèl, li kache l' pandan twa mwa.
And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.
3 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.
And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.
4 Sè ti pitit la menm te rete kanpe yon ti distans pou l' wè sak tapral rive pitit la.
And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.
5 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'.
And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river's side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.
6 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.
And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew's children.
7 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?
And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Wilt thou that I call to thee a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for thee?
8 Fi Farawon an di li: -Ale non. Ti fi a al chache manman ti pitit la.
And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
9 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.
And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give thee the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.
10 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.
And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.
11 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.
And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
12 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.
And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 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?
And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour?
14 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!
And he said, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? wilt thou slay me as thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.
15 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.
And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and dwelt in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.
16 Prèt peyi Madyan an te gen sèt pitit fi. Yo te vin tire dlo pou plen ganmèl yo pou bay mouton papa yo bwè.
And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.
17 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.
And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
18 Lè medam yo tounen lakay Reouyèl, papa yo, li mande yo: -Ki jan nou fè tounen vit konsa jòdi a?
And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have ye come so quickly to-day?
19 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.
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
20 Reouyèl mande pitit fi li yo: -Kote msye? Poukisa nou kite l' laba a? Al rele l' pou l' vin pran kichòy ak nou.
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have ye left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
21 Moyiz te dakò pou l' te rete lakay nonm sa a. Reouyèl bay Moyiz Sefora, yonn nan pitit fi li yo, pou madanm.
And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
22 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.
And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.
23 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.
And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.
24 Bondye tande rèl yo, li vin chonje kontra li te pase ak Abraram ak Izarak epi ak Jakòb.
And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
25 Bondye te wè nan ki sitiyasyon moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye, li pran kòz yo nan men l'.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
