< Ọpụpụ 2 >
1 Nʼoge a, otu nwoke onye Hibru si nʼebo Livayị, gakwara lụọ otu nwaada onye Livayị.
And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Nwanyị a tụụrụ ime, mụọ otu nwa nwoke. Mgbe ọ hụrụ na nwa ọhụrụ ahụ mara mma, o zoro ya nʼụlọ ọnwa atọ.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
3 Mgbe ọ na-enweghịkwa ike izo nwantakịrị a gaa nʼihu, o jiri ahịhịa papịrọs kpaa nkata, were korota tee nʼahụ nkata ahụ niile igbochi mmiri ịbata nʼime ya. O kunyere nwantakịrị ahụ nʼime ya buru nkata ahụ debe ya nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl ebe ahịhịa mmiri na-eto.
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 Nwanne nwantakịrị ahụ, nke nwanyị, gakwara guzo nʼebe dị anya na-eche nwantakịrị ahụ nche, ịhụ ihe ga-eme ya.
And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
5 Ọ dịghị anya, ada Fero bịara nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl ahụ ịsa ahụ. Mgbe ọ nọ na-asa ahụ, ụmụ agbọghọ na-ejere ya ozi malitere ịgagharị nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl. Ma ada Fero lepụrụ anya hụ nkata ahụ nʼetiti riidi, zie otu nʼime ohu ya nwanyị ka ọ gaa bute ya.
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 Mgbe o bupụtara ya, meghee ya, ada Fero hụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ ka ọ na-akwa akwa. O nwere ọmịiko nʼebe nwantakịrị ahụ nọ. Ọ sịrị, “Nwatakịrị a ga-abụrịrị otu nʼime ụmụ ndị Hibru.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, nwanne nwanyị nwantakịrị a jụrụ ada Fero sị, “Ọ bụ m gaa chọọrọ gị otu nwanyị nʼime ndị inyom Hibru ka ọ na-elekọtaara gị nwantakịrị a anya?”
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 Ada Fero zaghachiri sị, “Ee, gaa mee otu ahụ.” Nwaagbọghọ ahụ gara ngwangwa nʼụlọ ha kpọọ nne nwantakịrị ahụ.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
9 Mgbe ha bịaghachiri, ada Fero gwara nne nwantakịrị ahụ sị ya, “Kuru nwantakịrị a, gaa zụpụtara m ya. Aga m akwụ gị ụgwọ nke ọma.” Ya mere, nwanyị ahụ kuuru nwantakịrị ahụ, gaa zụọ ya.
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 Mgbe nwantakịrị ahụ tolitere, nne ya kulaara ya ada Fero, ka ọ bụrụ nwa ada Fero. Aha ada Fero gụrụ ya bụ Mosis, nʼihi ọ sịrị, “Esi m na mmiri gụpụta ya.”
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 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe Mosis toro, ọ pụrụ gaa nʼebe ụmụnna ya nọ, ilele ha mgbe ha nọ na-arụ ọrụ ike ha. Ọ hụrụ otu onye Ijipt ka ọ na-eti onye Hibru ihe, bụ otu nʼime ụmụnna ya.
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 Mosis lere anya nʼakụkụ abụọ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ na ọ dịghị onye na-ele ya anya, o gburu onye Ijipt ahụ, lie ya nʼime aja.
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 Nʼechi ya, Mosis pụrụ hụ ndị Hibru abụọ ka ha na-alụ ọgụ. Mosis jụrụ onye nke ikpe mara ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji si otu a na-eti nwanna gị ihe?”
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 Ma onye ahụ jụrụ Mosis ajụjụ sị, “Onye mere gị onyeisi na onye ikpe nʼetiti anyị? Ị na-achọ igbu m dị ka i si gbuo onye Ijipt ahụ?” Mgbe ahụ Mosis tụrụ ụjọ. O kwuru nʼime onwe ya sị, “Ndị mmadụ amatala banyere ihe ahụ m mere.”
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 Mgbe Fero nụrụ ihe Mosis mere, ọ gbalịrị igbu Mosis. Ma Mosis si nʼihu Fero gbapụ ọsọ gbaga ala Midia. Nʼebe ahụ ọ gara nọdụ ala nʼakụkụ olulu mmiri.
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 Ma o nwere otu onye nchụaja obodo Midia mụtara ụmụ agbọghọ asaa. Nʼoge a, ha bịara iseta mmiri na ịgbanye ya nʼime ihe ịgbanye mmiri anụ ụlọ maka inye igwe anụ ụlọ nna ha mmiri.
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 Ma ụfọdụ ndị na-azụ atụrụ bịara chụpụ ha. Mosis biliri ọtọ, bịa napụta ha, nyere ha aka nye igwe anụ ụlọ ha mmiri.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Ha lọghachikwutere nna ha, Reuel, onye jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji lọta nʼoge taa?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
19 Ha zara nna ha sị, “Otu onye Ijipt napụtara anyị site nʼaka ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ. O setaara anyị mmiri, nyekwa igwe anụ ụlọ anyị mmiri.”
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 Nna ha jụrụ ha sị, “Olee ebe ọ nọ? Gịnị mere unu ji hapụ ya nʼebe ahụ? Gaanụ kpọọ ya ka o soro anyị rie nri.”
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 Mosis nabatara oku ahụ Reuel kpọrọ ya ka ha na ya biri. O sokwara ha biri. Reuel kpọnyere Mosis Zipọra, otu nwa ya nwanyị, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Zipọra mụtara nwa nwoke, onye Mosis kpọrọ aha ya Geshọm. Nʼihi na Mosis sịrị, “Abụ m onye ọbịa nʼala ndị ọzọ.”
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
23 O ruo, mgbe ọtụtụ ụbọchị gara, Fero eze Ijipt nwụrụ. Nʼoge a, ụmụ Izrel nọ na-asụ ude nʼime ọnọdụ ịbụ ohu ha. Ha kwara akwa nke ukwuu. Akwa ha kwara ka e nyere ha aka nʼihi ọnọdụ ịbụ ohu ha ruru Chineke ntị.
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 Chineke nụrụ ịsụ ude ha. O chetara ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ya na Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb gbara.
and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
25 Chineke hụrụ ụmụ Izrel, ihe banyere ha metukwara ya nʼobi.
and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
