< Pukaana 2 >

1 KII aku la kekahi kanaka o ka ohana a Levi, a lawe ae la i kekahi kaikamahine a Levi.
After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.
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 bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him 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.
And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river’s brink,
4 A ku iho la kona kaikuwahine i kahi mamao aku, e nana i ka mea e hanaia mai ai ia ia.
His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
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.
And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,
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.
She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
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?
And the child’s sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
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.
She answered: Go. The maid went and called her 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.
And Pharao’s daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter.
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.
And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took 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.
In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.
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.
And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him 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?
And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
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 he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be 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.
And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by 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.
And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father’s flocks.
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 the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.
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?
And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
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.
They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
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.
But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
21 A walea iho la o Mose e noho me ia kanaka, a haawi mai la oia ia Zipora, kana kaikamahine na Mose.
And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
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 bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
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.
Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.
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.
And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made 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.
And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
