Pukaana 2
1 KII aku la kekahi kanaka o ka ohana a Levi, a lawe ae la i kekahi kaikamahine a Levi.
Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
2 Hapai ae la ua wahine la, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a ike iho la oia ia ia he maikai, huna iho la oia ia ia ekolu malama.
and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.
3 A i ka wa hiki ole ia ia ke huna hou aku, lawe ae la ia i waa kome nona, a hapala ia mea i ka bitumena a me ke kepau, a hahao iho la i ke keiki maloko; a waiho iho la maloko o na kaluha ma kapa o ka muliwai.
But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in the basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 A ku iho la kona kaikuwahine i kahi mamao aku, e nana i ka mea e hanaia mai ai ia ia.
And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
5 Iho iho la ke kaikamahine a Parao e auau ma ka muliwai, hele ae la hoi kona mau wahine ma kapa o ka muliwai: a ike aku la kela i ka waa iwaena o na kaluha, hoouna aku la ia i kona wahine e lawe mai.
Soon the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the Nile, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. And when she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maidservant to retrieve it.
6 A wehe aku la ia, alaila ike iho la i ke keiki: aia hoi, uwe ae la ua keiki la. Aloha aku la kela ia ia, i aku la. He keiki keia na ka Hebera.
When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”
7 Alaila, olelo aku la kona kaikuwahine i ke kaikamahine a Parao, E hele hoi ha wau, e kii aku nou i kekahi wahine Hebera i kahu nana e hanai i ke keiki nau?
Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
8 I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, O hele. A hele aku la ke kaikamahine, a kii aku la i ka makuwahine o ua keiki la.
“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.
9 I mai la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, E lawe oe i keia keiki a e hanai ia ia na'u, a na'u no oe e uku aku. Lawe ae la ua wahine la i ke keiki, a hanai iho la.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the boy and nursed him.
10 A nui ae ua keiki la: a lawe ae la oia ia ia i ke kaikamahine a Parao, a lilo ae la ia i keiki nana. Kapa iho la oia i kona inoa, o Mose, i iho la ia, No ka mea, ua lawe mai au ia ia mailoko mai o ka wai.
When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and explained, “I drew him out of the water.”
11 Ia mau la mai, i ko Mose wa kanaka makua, hele aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, nana aku la ia i ko lakou luhi ana; ike aku la ia i kekahi kanaka o Aigupita e pepehi ana i ka Hebera, i kekahi o kona poe hoahanau.
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 Aloalo ae la ia, a ike iho la, aole kanaka, alaila pepehi iho la ia i ka Aigupita a make, a huna ia ia maloko o ke one.
After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
13 A i ka lua o ka la, hele hou aku la no ia, aia hoi, elua kanaka Hebera e hakaka ana; i aku la ia i ka mea nona ka hewa, No ke aha la oe e pepehi aku nei i kou hoa?
The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”
14 I mai la kela, Nawai la oe i hoolilo ao nei i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou? Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like mo kou pepehi ana i ka Aigupita? Alaila makau iho la o Mose, i iho la, Oiaio no, ua ikeia koia mea.
But the man replied, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “This thing I have done has surely become known.”
15 A lohe ae la o Parao ia mea, imi iho la ia o pepehi ia Mose. Mahuka aku la o Mose mai ka maka aku o Parao, a noho ma ka aina ma Midiana: a noho iho la ia ilalo ma kekahi luawai.
When Pharaoh heard about this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, where he sat down beside a well.
16 He mau kaikamahine ehiku na ke kahuna ma Midiana. Hele mai la lakou a hukihuki i ka wai, a ninini iloko o na holowaa, e hooinu ai i na holoholona a ko lakou makuakane.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 Hele mai la kekahi poe kahuhipa, a kipaku ae la ia lakou. Ku ae la o Mose iluna, a kokua ia lakou, a hooinu aku la i ka lakou poe holoholona.
And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.
18 A hoi aku la lakou ia Reuela i ko lakou makuakane, ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oukou i hoi koke mai ai i koia la?
When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
19 I aku la lakou, Na kekahi kanaka o Aigupita i hoopakele ae ia makou mai ka lima mai o ka poe kahuhipa, a huki iho la ia i ka wai no makou a nui, a hooinu aku la i na holoholona.
“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 I mai la ia i kana poe kaikamahine, Auhea la hoi ia? No ke aha la oukou i haalele aku ai i ua kanaka la? E kii aku ia ia e ai ia i ka ai.
“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”
21 A walea iho la o Mose e noho me ia kanaka, a haawi mai la oia ia Zipora, kana kaikamahine na Mose.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
22 A hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la ia i kona inoa o Geresoma; no ka mea, i iho la ia, Ua malihini au ma ka aina e.
And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”
23 A nui na la i hala, make ke alii o Aigupita, a kaniuhu iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, no ka luhi loa ana, a uwe aku la lakou; a hiki aku la ko lakou uwe ana i ke Akua no ko lakou luhi.
After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned and cried out under their burden of slavery, and their cry for deliverance from bondage ascended to God.
24 A lohe ke Akua i ko lakou uwe ana, a manao iho la ia i kana berita me Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 A nana mai la ke Akua i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a manao mai la ko Akua ia lakou.
God saw the Israelites and took notice.
