Exodo 2
1 Ita, maysa a lalaki iti tribu ni Levi ti nangasawa iti maysa a babai a kaputotan ni Levi.
It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
2 Nagsikog ti babai ket naganak iti maysa a lalaki. Idi nakitana a nasalun-at isuna nga ubing, inlemmengna isuna iti las-ud iti tallo a bulan.
She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him for three months.
3 Ngem idi saannan a mailemmeng isuna, nangala iti maysa a basket a naaramid iti runo ket sineraanna daytoy iti pitak ken betun. Kalpasanna, inkargana ti ubing iti daytoy ket inkabilna iti ayan dagiti runo iti danum iti igid ti karayan.
But when she couldn't hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 Nagtakder ti kabsatna a babai iti saan unay nga adayo tapno makitana no ania ti mapasamak kenkuana.
His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on him.
5 Simmalog ti anak a babai ni Faraon tapno agdigos iti karayan kabayatan nga agpagnapagna dagiti agserserbi kenkuana iti igid ti karayan. Nakitana ti basket iti karunoan ket imbaonna ti agserserbi kenkuana a mangala iti daytoy.
Then Pharaoh's daughter arrived to bathe in the Nile. Her ladies-in-waiting were walking along the bank of the river. When she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it and bring it to her.
6 Idi linukatanna daytoy, nakitana ti ubing. Adtoy, agsangsangit ti maladaga. Naasian isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Awan duadua a maysa kadagiti annak dagiti Hebreo daytoy.”
When she opened it she saw the baby boy. He was crying and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew boys,” she said.
7 Ket kinuna ti kabsat ti maladaga iti anak a babai ni Faraon, “Mapanak kadi ket ibirukanka ti Hebreo a babai a mangpasuso iti ubing para kenka?”
His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, “Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?”
8 Kinuna ti anak a babai ni Faraon kenkuana, “Mapanka.” Isu a napan ti balasitang ket inayabanna ti ina ti ubing.
“Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
9 Kinuna ti anak a babai ni Faraon iti ina ti maladaga, “Alaem daytoy nga ubing ket pasusoem isuna para kaniak ket tangdanankanto.” Isu nga innala ti babai ti ubing ket pinasusona.
“Take this baby boy and nurse him for me,” she told his mother. “I will pay you myself.” So his mother took him home and nursed him.
10 Idi dimmakkelen ti ubing, impanna daytoy iti anak ni Faraon, ket nagbalin isuna nga anakna a lalaki. Pinanagananna daytoy iti Moises ket kinunana, “Gapu ta innalak isuna manipud iti danum.”
When the boy was older she took him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son. She called him Moses, because she said, “I pulled him out of the water.”
11 Idi dimmakkelen ni Moises, napan isuna kadagiti tattaona ket pinaliiwna ti narigat a trabahoda. Nakitana ti maysa nga Egipcio a dangdangranna ti maysa a Hebreo, maysa kadagiti tattaona.
Later, when Moses had grown up, he went to visit his people, the Hebrews. He saw them doing hard labor. He also saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 Timmaliaw iti agsinnumbangir, ket idi nakitana nga awan ti tao sadiay, pinatayna ti Egipcio ket inlemmengna ti bagina iti kadaratan.
He looked all around to make sure no one was watching, and then he killed the Egyptian and buried his body in the sand.
13 Rimmuar isuna iti simmaruno nga aldaw, ket, adtoy, dua a lallaki a Hebreo ti aglablaban. Kinunana iti maysa a nagbiddut, “Apay a kabkabilem ti kaduam?”
The following day he went back and he saw two Hebrews fighting with each other. He said to the one at fault, “Why are you beating one of your own people?”
14 Ngem kinuna ti lalaki, “Siasino ti nangaramid kenka a mangidaulo ken mangukom kadakami? Pangpanggepennak kadi a patayen a kas ti panangpataymo iti dayta nga Egipcio?” Nagbuteng ni Moises ket kinunana, “Awan duadua a naammuanen dagiti sabali ti inaramidko.”
“Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
15 Ita, idi nangngeg ni Faraon daytoy, pinadasna a patayen ni Moises. Ngem naglibas ni Moises manipud kenni Faraon ket nagnaed idiay daga ti Midian. Nagtugaw isuna sadiay iti igid ti maysa a bubon.
When Pharaoh found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. One day as he was sitting by a well,
16 Ita, addaan ti pito nga annak a babbai ti padi ti Midian. Immayda nagsakdo iti danum, ket pinunnoda dagiti pagkargaan ti danum tapno painumenda ti arban ti amada.
and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
17 Immay dagiti agpaspastor ket pinadasda a papanawen ida, ngem tinulongan ni Moises ida. Kalpasanna, pinainomna dagiti arbanda.
Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.
18 Idi nagawid dagiti babbai iti amada a ni Reuel kinunana, “Apay a nasapakayo a nagawid ita?”
When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”
19 Kinunada, “Maysa nga Egipcio ti nangispal kadakami manipud kadagiti agpaspastor. Insakduannakami pay iti danum ken pinainomna ti arban.”
“An Egyptian rescued us from some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”
20 Kinunana kadagiti annakna, “Sadino ti ayanna? Apay a pinanawanyo ti lalaki? Ayabanyo isuna tapno makipangan isuna kadatayo.”
“So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
21 Immannugot ni Moises a makipagnaed iti lalaki, a nangited pay kenkuana iti anakna a ni Sefora nga agbalin nga asawana.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
22 Naganak isuna iti maysa a lalaki ket pinananaganan ni Moises ti Gersom; kinunana, “Nagnanaedak iti daga ti gangannaet.”
She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
23 Kalpasan ti nabayag a tiempo, natay ti ari iti Egipto. Nagasug dagiti Israelita gapu iti pannakaadipenda. Nagsangitda iti napigsa para iti tulong ket dimmanon iti Dios dagiti pakaasida gapu iti pannakabaludda.
Years later, the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still groaning under their hard labor. Their cries for help because of their hardship reached God.
24 Idi nangngeg ti Dios dagiti as-asugda, nalagip ti Dios ti tulagna kenni Abraham, kenni Isaac ken kenni Jacob.
God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Nakita ti Dios dagiti Israelita, ket naawatanna ti kasasaadda.
God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
