Keluaran 2
1 Pada masa itu seorang laki-laki dari suku Lewi, kawin dengan seorang wanita dari suku itu juga.
A man of the house of Levi [United with] went and took a daughter of Levi [United with] as his wife.
2 Lalu wanita itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ketika ia melihat bahwa bayi itu amat bagus, ia menyembunyikannya selama tiga bulan.
The woman conceived, and bore a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, she hid him three months.
3 Tetapi bayi itu tak dapat disembunyikannya lama-lama. Maka ibu itu mengambil sebuah keranjang dari rumput gelagah, dan melapisinya dengan ter supaya jangan kemasukan air. Bayi itu diletakkannya di dalam keranjang itu, lalu dibawanya ke Sungai Nil dan ditaruh di tengah-tengah rumpun gelagah di tepi sungai itu.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 Kakak perempuan bayi itu berdiri agak jauh dari situ untuk melihat apa yang akan terjadi dengan adiknya.
His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
5 Sementara itu datanglah putri raja. Ia turun ke sungai untuk mandi, sedang dayang-dayangnya berjalan-jalan di tepi sungai. Tiba-tiba putri raja melihat keranjang itu di tengah-tengah rumpun gelagah, lalu ia menyuruh seorang hamba perempuan mengambilnya.
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.
6 Waktu putri raja membuka keranjang itu, dilihatnya ada bayi di dalamnya, dan bayi itu sedang menangis. Putri raja merasa kasihan kepadanya dan berkata, "Ini anak orang Ibrani."
She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ [Immigrants’] children.”
7 Lalu kakak bayi itu bertanya kepada putri raja, "Maukah Tuan Putri saya carikan seorang ibu Ibrani untuk menyusui bayi itu?"
Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
8 "Baiklah," jawab putri raja. Maka pergilah gadis itu memanggil ibunya sendiri.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.
9 Kata putri raja kepada ibu itu, "Bawalah bayi ini, dan susuilah dia untukku; nanti ibu kuberi upah." Maka dibawanya bayi itu dan disusuinya.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 Waktu bayi itu sudah agak besar, ibunya menyerahkan dia kepada putri raja. Lalu putri raja menjadikan bayi itu anak angkatnya. "Dia kuberi nama Musa, sebab kuambil dia dari air," kata putri raja.
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
11 Waktu Musa sudah dewasa, ia pergi menemui orang-orang sebangsanya. Ia melihat bagaimana mereka dipaksa melakukan pekerjaan yang berat-berat. Dilihatnya juga seorang Mesir membunuh seorang Ibrani.
In those days, when Moses [Drawn out] had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] striking a Hebrew [Immigrant], one of his brothers.
12 Musa menengok ke sekelilingnya, dan ketika ia melihat bahwa tidak ada yang memperhatikan dia, dibunuhnya orang Mesir itu lalu mayatnya disembunyikan di dalam pasir.
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], and hid him in the sand.
13 Keesokan harinya Musa pergi lagi, lalu dilihatnya dua orang Ibrani sedang berkelahi. "Mengapa engkau memukul kawanmu?" tanya Musa kepada orang yang bersalah itu.
He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews [Immigrants] were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”
14 Jawab orang itu, "Siapa yang mengangkat engkau menjadi pemimpin dan hakim kami? Apakah engkau mau membunuh saya juga, seperti orang Mesir yang kaubunuh itu?" Lalu Musa menjadi takut dan berpikir, "Celaka! Perbuatanku itu sudah ketahuan."
He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery]?” Moses [Drawn out] was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”
15 Waktu raja mendengar tentang kejadian itu, ia mencari akal untuk membunuh Musa. Tetapi Musa lari lalu tinggal di negeri Midian. Imam dari Midian, yang bernama Yitro, mempunyai tujuh anak perempuan. Pada suatu hari, ketika Musa sedang duduk di dekat sebuah sumur, datanglah ketujuh anak gadis Yitro untuk menimba air dan mengisi tempat minum kawanan kambing dan domba ayah mereka.
Now when Pharaoh sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this thing, he sought to kill Moses [Drawn out]. But Moses [Drawn out] fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian [Strife], and he sat down by a well.
Now the priest of Midian [Strife] had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 Tetapi beberapa gembala mengusir anak-anak gadis itu. Lalu Musa datang menolong mereka dan diberinya minum ternak mereka.
The shepherds came and divorced them away; but Moses [Drawn out] stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Waktu mereka pulang, ayah mereka bertanya, "Mengapa kalian cepat sekali pulang hari ini?"
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
19 Jawab mereka, "Ada seorang Mesir yang menolong kami dari gangguan gembala-gembala lain. Ia malah menimbakan air untuk kami, dan memberi minum ternak kita."
They said, “An Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”
20 "Di mana dia sekarang?" tanya Yitro kepada anak-anaknya. "Mengapa kalian meninggalkan orang itu? Pergilah mengundang dia makan bersama kita."
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
21 Musa setuju untuk tinggal di situ. Kemudian Yitro mengawinkan anaknya yang bernama Zipora dengan Musa.
Moses [Drawn out] was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses [Drawn out] Zipporah, his daughter.
22 Zipora melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Anak itu diberi nama Gersom, karena Musa berpikir, "Aku seorang asing di sini."
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
23 Bertahun-tahun kemudian raja Mesir meninggal. Tetapi bangsa Israel masih mengeluh karena mereka diperbudak, sehingga mereka berteriak minta tolong. Jeritan mereka sampai kepada Allah.
In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] died, and the children of Israel [God prevails] sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 Allah mendengar mereka, dan Ia mengingat perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their groaning, and God remembered his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with Abraham [Father of a multitude], with Isaac [Laughter], and with Jacob [Supplanter].
25 Ia melihat orang-orang Israel diperbudak, maka ia memutuskan untuk menolong mereka.
God saw the children of Israel [God prevails], and God was concerned about them.
