Egzòd 2
1 Alò, yon mesye lakay Lévi te marye avèk yon fi Lévi.
And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Fanm nan te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis. Lè l te wè ke li te byen bèl, li te kache li pandan twa mwa.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
3 Men lè li pa t kab kache li ankò, li te pran yon panyen wozo, e li te kouvri li avèk goudwon ak gòm rezen. Konsa, li te mete pitit la ladann, e te plase li pami wozo yo akote lariviyè Nil lan.
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid [it] in the sedge on the bank of the river.
4 Sè li a te kanpe nan yon distans, pou wè kisa ki kab rive li.
And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
5 Fi a Farawon an te vin desann pou benyen nan Nil lan avèk sèvant li yo e yo t ap mache akote Nil lan. Konsa, li te wè panyen an pami wozo yo. Li te voye sèvant li an pou pote bay li.
And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the river; and her maids went along by the river's side. And she saw the ark in the midst of the sedge, and sent her handmaid and fetched it.
6 Lè li te ouvri li; li te wè pitit la, e gade byen, li t ap kriye. Konsa, li te gen pitye pou li e te di: “Sa se youn nan pitit Ebre yo.”
And she opened [it], and saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.
7 Epi sè li a te di a fi Farawon an: “Èske mwen ta dwe al chache yon fanm nouris pami fanm Ebre yo pou ou pou l ka ba li tete pou ou?”
And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a wet-nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Ale”. Konsa, fi a te al rele manman a pitit la.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
9 Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Pran pitit sa a ale, bay li tete pou mwen e mwen va ba ou salè ou.” Epi fanm nan te pran pitit la e li te bay li tete.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
10 Pitit la te grandi, li te pote li bay fi a Farawon an, li te devni fis li. Li te bay li non Moïse, e li te di: “Akoz ke m te rale li sòti nan dlo a.”
And when the child was grown, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 Li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke lè Moïse te fin grandi, li te sòti vè frè li yo, e li te wè fàdo yo. Li te wè yon Ejipsyen ki t ap bat yon Ebre, youn nan frè li yo.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Alò li te gade toupatou e lè l pa t wè pèsòn, li te touye li, e li te kache li nan sab la.
And he turned this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Li te sòti nan pwochen jou a, e gade, de Ebre t ap goumen youn avèk lòt. Li te di a sa ki gen tò a: “Poukisa ou ap frape pwochen ou an?”
And he went out on the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why art thou smiting thy neighbour?
14 Men li te di: “Kilès ki te fè ou prens, oswa jij sou nou? Èske ou gen entansyon vin touye mwen jan ou te touye Ejipsyen an?” Alò konsa Moïse te vin pè. Konsa li te di: “Anverite, afè sa gen tan vin konnen.”
And he said, Who made thee ruler and judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared, and said, Surely the matter is known.
15 Lè Farawon te tande afè sila a, li te eseye touye Moïse. Men Moïse te sove ale de prezans li, li te vin demere nan peyi Madian, e li te vin chita la akote yon pwi.
And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat by the well.
16 Alò, prèt Madian an te gen sèt fi. Yo te vin rale dlo e te ranpli veso yo pou bay bann mouton papa yo dlo.
And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs, to water their father's flock.
17 Bèje yo te vin pouse yo ale, men Moïse te kanpe pou ede fi yo, e te bay bann mouton pa yo bwè.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Lè yo te vin kote Réuel, papa yo, li te di: “Poukisa nou gen tan tounen tèlman vit konsa jodi a?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
19 Yo te di: “Yon Ejipsyen te delivre nou anba men a bèje yo, e anplis, li te menm rale dlo pou nou e te bay bann mouton an dlo.”
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] abundantly for us, and watered the flock.
20 Li te di fi li yo: “Alò, kibò li ye? Poukisa nou te kite mesye sa a dèyè? Envite li vin manje yon bagay.”
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why then have ye left the man behind? Call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Moïse te dakò rete avèk mesye a, e li te bay fi li, Séphora a Moïse.
And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Konsa, li te bay nesans a yon fis e li te nonmen li Guerschom, paske li te di: “Mwen te yon vwayajè nan yon peyi etranje.”
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
23 Alò li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke wa Égypte la te mouri. Epi fis Israël yo t ap fè gwo souf e t ap kriye akoz esklavaj la. Alò, kri pa yo akoz esklavaj sila a, te leve rive jwenn Bondye.
And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage;
24 Konsa, Bondye te tande plent pa yo, epi Bondye te sonje akò Li avèk Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob.
and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
25 Bondye te wè fis Israël yo, e Bondye te konprann.
and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
