Egzòd 2
1 Alò, yon mesye lakay Lévi te marye avèk yon fi Lévi.
And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took as wife one of the daughters 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 she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they 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 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 li a te kanpe nan yon distans, pou wè kisa ki kab rive li.
And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn 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 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 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 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 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 the daughter of Pharao, Will you that I call to you a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for you?
8 Epi fi a Farawon an te di li: “Ale”. Konsa, fi a te al rele manman a pitit la.
And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.
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 the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give you the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled 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 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 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 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 striking a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.
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 having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he struck 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 having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Therefore smite you your neighbor?
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 you a ruler and a judge over us? will you kill me as you yesterday killed the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become 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 Pharao heard this matter, and sought to kill Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and lived in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on 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 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 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 were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.
18 Lè yo te vin kote Réuel, papa yo, li te di: “Poukisa nou gen tan tounen tèlman vit konsa jodi a?”
And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have you come so quickly today?
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 from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.
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? and why have you left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.
21 Moïse te dakò rete avèk mesye a, e li te bay fi li, Séphora a Moïse.
And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.
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 the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange 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 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 Konsa, Bondye te tande plent pa yo, epi Bondye te sonje akò Li avèk Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob.
And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.
25 Bondye te wè fis Israël yo, e Bondye te konprann.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.
