Keluaran 2
1 Seorang laki-laki dari keluarga Lewi kawin dengan seorang perempuan Lewi;
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 lalu mengandunglah ia dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Ketika dilihatnya, bahwa anak itu cantik, disembunyikannya tiga bulan lamanya.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 Tetapi ia tidak dapat menyembunyikannya lebih lama lagi, sebab itu diambilnya sebuah peti pandan, dipakalnya dengan gala-gala dan ter, diletakkannya bayi itu di dalamnya dan ditaruhnya peti itu di tengah-tengah teberau di tepi sungai Nil;
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 kakaknya perempuan berdiri di tempat yang agak jauh untuk melihat, apakah yang akan terjadi dengan dia.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 Maka datanglah puteri Firaun untuk mandi di sungai Nil, sedang dayang-dayangnya berjalan-jalan di tepi sungai Nil, lalu terlihatlah olehnya peti yang di tengah-tengah teberau itu, maka disuruhnya hambanya perempuan untuk mengambilnya.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 Ketika dibukanya, dilihatnya bayi itu, dan tampaklah anak itu menangis, sehingga belas kasihanlah ia kepadanya dan berkata: "Tentulah ini bayi orang Ibrani."
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Lalu bertanyalah kakak anak itu kepada puteri Firaun: "Akan kupanggilkah bagi tuan puteri seorang inang penyusu dari perempuan Ibrani untuk menyusukan bayi itu bagi tuan puteri?"
Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 Sahut puteri Firaun kepadanya: "Baiklah." Lalu pergilah gadis itu memanggil ibu bayi itu.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 Maka berkatalah puteri Firaun kepada ibu itu: "Bawalah bayi ini dan susukanlah dia bagiku, maka aku akan memberi upah kepadamu." Kemudian perempuan itu mengambil bayi itu dan menyusuinya.
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 Ketika anak itu telah besar, dibawanyalah kepada puteri Firaun, yang mengangkatnya menjadi anaknya, dan menamainya Musa, sebab katanya: "Karena aku telah menariknya dari air."
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 Pada waktu itu, ketika Musa telah dewasa, ia keluar mendapatkan saudara-saudaranya untuk melihat kerja paksa mereka; lalu dilihatnyalah seorang Mesir memukul seorang Ibrani, seorang dari saudara-saudaranya itu.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Ia menoleh ke sana sini dan ketika dilihatnya tidak ada orang, dibunuhnya orang Mesir itu, dan disembunyikannya mayatnya dalam pasir.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Ketika keesokan harinya ia keluar lagi, didapatinya dua orang Ibrani tengah berkelahi. Ia bertanya kepada yang bersalah itu: "Mengapa engkau pukul temanmu?"
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 Tetapi jawabnya: "Siapakah yang mengangkat engkau menjadi pemimpin dan hakim atas kami? Apakah engkau bermaksud membunuh aku, sama seperti engkau telah membunuh orang Mesir itu?" Musa menjadi takut, sebab pikirnya: "Tentulah perkara itu telah ketahuan."
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Ketika Firaun mendengar tentang perkara itu, dicarinya ikhtiar untuk membunuh Musa. Tetapi Musa melarikan diri dari hadapan Firaun dan tiba di tanah Midian, lalu ia duduk-duduk di tepi sebuah sumur.
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 Adapun imam di Midian itu mempunyai tujuh anak perempuan. Mereka datang menimba air dan mengisi palungan-palungan untuk memberi minum kambing domba ayahnya.
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 Maka datanglah gembala-gembala yang mengusir mereka, lalu Musa bangkit menolong mereka dan memberi minum kambing domba mereka.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Ketika mereka sampai kepada Rehuel, ayah mereka, berkatalah ia: "Mengapa selekas itu kamu pulang hari ini?"
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 Jawab mereka: "Seorang Mesir menolong kami terhadap gembala-gembala, bahkan ia menimba air banyak-banyak untuk kami dan memberi minum kambing domba."
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Di manakah ia? Mengapakah kamu tinggalkan orang itu? Panggillah dia makan."
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 Musa bersedia tinggal di rumah itu, lalu diberikan Rehuellah Zipora, anaknya, kepada Musa.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Perempuan itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, maka Musa menamainya Gersom, sebab katanya: "Aku telah menjadi seorang pendatang di negeri asing."
And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 Lama sesudah itu matilah raja Mesir. Tetapi orang Israel masih mengeluh karena perbudakan, dan mereka berseru-seru, sehingga teriak mereka minta tolong karena perbudakan itu sampai kepada Allah.
And it came to pass in process of time, 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 Allah mendengar mereka mengerang, lalu Ia mengingat kepada perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Maka Allah melihat orang Israel itu, dan Allah memperhatikan mereka.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
