Zmavarene 2
1 Ana knafina mago Livae nagapinti ne'mo'a, mago ara Livae nagapinti erigeno,
(There was a man who/My father) was descended from [Jacob’s son] Levi. He married a woman who was [also] descended from Levi.
2 amu'ene huno ne' mofavre ksenteno, keana hiranto mofavre fore'ma higeno, 3'a ikamofo agu'afi frakino antegeno mani'ne.
She became pregnant and gave birth to (a baby boy/me). When she saw that he/I was a good-looking baby, she hid him/me for three months, [because she was not willing to do what the king commanded].
3 Hianagi ana mofavre'mo ra huno 3'a ikama higeno mago'ane frakintega'ma nosuno'a, ekaeka ku tro huno, kolta fukinuti renkanireteno, ana mofavrea ana ekaekapi anteteno erino Naeli tinkenafi me'nea uha trazampi ome frakino ante'ne.
When she was unable to (hide him/me/keep it a secret) any longer, she got a basket made from tall reeds. She covered the basket with tar ([to make it waterproof/so water could not get in]). Then she put him/me in the basket and put the basket in [the water] in the middle of the tall grass at the edge of the Nile [River].
4 Ana mofavremofo nesaro'a agrite'ma fore haniaza kenaku ogantu'a mani'ne.
His/My older sister was standing not far away, [watching to see] what would happen to him/me.
5 Fero mofa'mo ti frenaku, eri'za mofa'nene Naeli tinte erami'za, ana tinkenare nevu'za ekaekara uha trazampi me'negeno negeno, eri'za mofa'a huntegeno omerino eme ami'ne.
[Soon] the king’s daughter went down to the river to bathe. Her female servants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket amid the tall grass [in the river]. So she sent [one of] her servants to get it.
6 Ana mofa'mo'ma ekaekama erinagino keana, ana mofavremo'a zavitegeno, asuntagi nenteno anage hu'ne, Ama Hibru vahe'mokizmi mofavre.
When [the servant brought the basket to her], she opened it, and was surprised to see (a baby that was/me), crying. She felt sorry for him/me, and said, “This [must] be one of the Hebrews’ babies.”
7 Anante ana mofavremofo nesaro'a, Fero mofara antahigeno, Knare vu'na mago Hibru ara ome avre'na anenkeno mofavrea kegava krigantegahifi?
Then (the baby’s/my) [older] sister [approached] the king’s daughter and said, “Do you want me to go and find someone from among the Hebrew women who will [be able to] nurse the baby for you?”
8 Higeno Fero mofa'mo'a anage huno hu'ne, Vunka kema hanaza hunka ome avrenka eno huno huntegeno, ana mofa'mo'a vuno ana mofavremofo nerera ome avreno e'ne.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Yes], go [and find one].” So the girl went and summoned (the baby’s/my) mother.
9 Fero mofa'mo'a amanage huno ana ara asmi'ne, Ama mofavrea avrenka ome kegava krinante'nege'na, miza segantaneno, higeno ana mofavrea avreno kegava krinte'ne.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Please] take this baby and nurse him for me. I will pay you [for doing that].” So (the woman/my mother) took him/me and nursed him/me.
10 Ana mofavre'mo'ma rama higeno avreno Fero mofate vigeno, Fero mofa'mofo zage mofavre'aza higeno, timpinti avre fegu'a atre'noe nehuno Mosese'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
([A few years later]/when (the child/I) grew [older]), she brought him/me to the king’s daughter. She adopted him/me [as though I was] her own son. She named him/me Moses, [which sounds like the Hebrew words ‘pull out’], because she said “I pulled him out of the water.”
11 Hagi ana knafina Mosese'ma nena huteno, mago zupa vahe'amo'zama tusiza hu'za kazokzo eri'zama enerizarega nevuno keana, mago Hibru nera, Isipi ne'mo nehegeno ome negeno,
One day, after Moses/I had grown up, he/I went out [of the palace area] to see his/my people, [the Hebrews]. He/I saw how they were being [forced to work] very hard. He/I [also] saw an Egyptian [man] beating one of his/my Hebrew people.
12 omege emegema hiana mago vahera omani'negeno keteno, ana Isipi nera ahe frino ksepampi asente'ne.
He/I looked around [to see if anyone was watching]. Seeing no one, he/I killed the Egyptian man and buried his [body] in the sand.
13 Anante knazupa Mosese'a nevuno keana tare Hibru ne'tremoke zanagra zanagra ha' nehakeno ome neznageno, hazenkema agafama hu'nea nera antahigeno, Na'a higenka negafuna nehane?
The next day he/I returned [to the same place]. He/I was surprised to see two Hebrew men who were fighting [each other]. He/I said to the man who started the fight, “Why are you (you should not be) striking your fellow [Hebrew].”
14 Hianagi ana ne'mo'a ke'nona'a huno, Iza kvati'a maninenka refko hurantegahane huno kazeriotine? Kagra Isipi ne'ma ahe fri'nanaza hunka nahe frinaku nehano? Higeno Mosese'a koro nehuno antahintahima hiana, vahe'ma ahe fri'noa zana hago e'ama hige'za antahi'naze hu'ne.
The man replied, “(Who made you our ruler and judge?/No one made you our ruler and judge!) [RHQ] [You have no right to interfere with us] Are you going to kill me just like you killed that Egyptian man [yesterday]?” Then Moses/I was afraid, [because] he/I thought, “[Since that man knows what I did], surely [other people] know, [too].”
15 Fero'ma ana kema nentahino, Mosesena ahe frinaku hianagi, Mosese'a atreno freno Midiani kumatega umaninaku vu'ne. Vuno mago tinkerire umani'nege'za,
[And that was correct]. The king heard about what he/I had done [to that Egyptian. So he ordered his soldiers to] execute/kill Moses/me. But he/I fled from the king [and left Egypt. He/I traveled east to] the Midian [region] and started to live there.
16 mago Midiani pristi ne'mo'a 7ni'a mofa'ne zmante'neanki'za, nezmafa sipisipine meme afu'tmimo'zama tima nesnagu tinkerire neazageno,
The man who was the (priest/one who offered the people’s gifts to God) for the Midian people, [whose name was Jethro], had seven daughters. [One day] as Moses/I sat down beside a well, those girls came [to the well] and got water, and filled the troughs in order to give water to their father’s flock [of sheep].
17 ruga'a sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'za eme zmahenati trazageno, Mosese'a otino ana mofa'nea ome zamaza huno nezmafa sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamina ana tina afi zamige'za netageno,
Some (shepherds/men who took care of other sheep) came and started to chase away the girls. But Moses/I helped/rescued the girls, and got water for their sheep.
18 ana mofa'nemo'za nezmafa Ruelinte (Jetro) uhanatizageno anage huno zmantahigene, nahigeta menina hantaka huta aze? hige'za,
When the girls returned to their father [Jethro], [whose other name is] Reuel, he asked them, “How is it that you were able to [give water to the sheep and] come home so quickly today?”
19 ruga'a sipisipi kva vahe'mo'zama tahemanenatiza vahera, mago Isipi ne'mo taza huno zmahenenatino, sipisipiti'anena taza huno tina afizmi'ne.
They replied, “A man from Egypt kept [MTY] other shepherds from sending us away. He also got water for us [from the well] and gave water to the flock [of sheep].”
20 Anante Rueli'a (Jetro) zmantahigeno, ina ana nera mani'ne? Nahigeta atreta e'naze? Ome kehinkeno kave emeneno, hige'za ome avre'za azageno,
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? (Why did you leave him [out there]?/You should not leave him [out there]!) [RHQ] Invite him [in], so he can have something to eat [MTY]!”
21 Mosese'a zmagranema manisigu mago arimpa higeno Rueli'a (Jetro) mago mofa'a, Zipora amigeno a' eri'ne.
[So they did], and Moses/I [accepted and ate with them]. And Moses/I decided to live there. Later Jethro gave him/me his daughter Zipporah [to be his/my wife].
22 Zipora'a amu'ene huno ne' mofavre ksentegeno, Mosese'a rurega ne'mo'na kraga emani'nogu agi'a Gesomu'e hu'na ante'mue.
Later she gave birth to a son, and Moses/I named him Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘foreigner’], because he/I said, “I am living as a foreigner in [this] land.”
23 Za'za kna evutegeno Isipi kini nera fri'ne. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za tusi'a knazama eri'za kazokzo eri'za eneri'za, Anumzamofontega zavi krafa hu'naze. Ana zavi krafa zimimo'a Anumzamofo avure marerigeno,
Many years later the king of Egypt died. The Israeli people [in Egypt] were still groaning because of the [hard work they had to do as] slaves. They called out for [someone to] help them, and God heard them call out [PRS].
24 Anumzamo'a ana zavi krafazamia antahinezamino, Abrahane, Aisakine, Jekopunema huvempa huno huhagerafi'nea kegu agesa antahi'ne.
He heard them groaning. And he (thought about/did not forget) that he had solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [to bless their descendants].
25 Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera nezmageno, knazampima mani'nazazana keno antahino hu'ne.
God saw how the Israeli people were [being badly treated], and he was concerned about them.
