Ọpụpụ 2
1 Nʼoge a, otu nwoke onye Hibru si nʼebo Livayị, gakwara lụọ otu nwaada onye Livayị.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife 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 when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she 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 not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
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 know what would be done 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 came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch 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 it, even the child; and behold a boy that 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?”
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a 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 maiden 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 unto 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 the child grew, and she brought him unto 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 up, that he went out unto 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 looked 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 the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
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 a ruler and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing 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.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a 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.
Now 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 stood up 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: 'How is it that ye are 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 moreover he drew water 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 unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? 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 was content to dwell 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 stranger in a strange 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 in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason 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 saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
