1 Mobali moko ya libota ya Levi abalaki mwasi kati na libota ya Levi.
And he went a man from [the] house of Levi and he took [the] daughter of Levi.
2 Mwana mwasi yango azwaki zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali. Wana amonaki ete mwana yango azali kitoko, abombaki ye basanza misato.
And she conceived the woman and she bore a son and she saw him that [was] good he and she hid him three months.
3 Lokola amonaki ete akokoka lisusu te kobomba ye, azwaki kitunga moko basala na poso ya nzete oyo babengaka papirisi, apakolaki yango gudron mpe potopoto ya mwindo; bongo atiaki mwana kati na yango. Sima, atiaki kitunga yango kati na matiti ya ebale Nili, pembeni ya mokili.
And not she was able still to hide him and she took for him a basket of papyrus and sealed it she with bitumen and with pitch and she put in it the child and she put [it] among the rush[es] at [the] bank of the River.
4 Ndeko mwasi ya mwana yango atelemaki mosika mpo na kotala likambo oyo ekokaki kokomela ye.
And she stood sister his from a distance to know what? will it be done to him.
5 Tango mwana mwasi ya Faraon akendeki kosukola na ebale Nili, wana basi basali na ye bazalaki kotambola pembeni ya ebale Nili, amonaki kitunga kati na matiti ya ebale; mpe atindaki mwasi mosali na ye kozwa yango.
And she went down [the] daughter of Pharaoh to bathe at the River and female attendants her [were] walking on [the] side of the River and she saw the basket in among the rush[es] and she sent maid her (and fetched it she *L(abh)*)
6 Afungolaki yango mpe amonaki kati na yango mwana moko ya mobali azali kolela. Ayokelaki ye mawa mpe alobaki: « Oyo azali solo mwana ya Ba-Ebre. »
and she opened [it] and she saw him the child and there! a lad [was] crying and she had compassion on him and she said [is] one of [the] children of the Hebrews this.
7 Boye, ndeko na ye ya mwasi alobaki na mwana mwasi ya Faraon: — Boni, nakoki kokende kolukela yo kati na basi ya Ba-Ebre mwasi oyo akoki komelisa mwana oyo mabele mpo na yo?
And she said sister his to [the] daughter of Pharaoh ¿ will I go and will I call? for you a woman a suckling-nurse from the Hebrew [women] so she may suckle for you the child.
8 Mwana mwasi ya Faraon azongiselaki ye: — Iyo, kende! Elenge mwasi akendeki mpe azwaki mama ya mwana mobali yango.
And she said to her [the] daughter of Pharaoh go and she went the young woman and she called [the] mother of the child.
9 Mwana mwasi ya Faraon alobaki na mama yango: « Kamata mwana oyo, melisa ye mabele mpo na ngai, mpe nakofuta yo. » Bongo mama yango azwaki mwana mpe akomaki komelisa ye mabele.
And she said to her [the] daughter of Pharaoh take the child this and suckle him for me and I I will pay wage[s] your and she took the woman the child and she suckled him.
10 Tango mwana akolaki, amemaki ye epai ya mwana mwasi ya Faraon oyo akomisaki ye mwana na ye ya mobali. Apesaki ye kombo « Moyize, » pamba te alobaki: « Nazwaki ye na mayi. »
And he grew up the child and she took him to [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he became to her a son and she called name his Moses and she said that from the water I drew him.
11 Mokolo moko, wana Moyize akomaki mokolo, akendeki na esika oyo bandeko na ye bazalaki mpe amonaki bango kosala misala makasi oyo bapesaki bango mpo na konyokola bango. Amonaki moto moko ya Ejipito kobeta moko kati na bato na ye Ba-Ebre.
And it was - in the days those and he grew up Moses and he went out to brothers his and he looked on forced labor their and he saw a man Egyptian striking a man Hebrew one of brothers his.
12 Atalaki ngambo na ngambo mpe amonaki moto te; bongo abomaki moto ya Ejipito mpe akundaki ye na zelo.
And he turned thus and thus and he saw that there not [was] a person and he struck down the Egyptian and he hid him in the sand.
13 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Moyize abimaki mpe amonaki Ba-Ebre mibale bazali kobunda. Atunaki na moto oyo asalaki mabe: — Mpo na nini ozali kobeta moninga na yo?
And he went out on the day second and there! two men Hebrew [were] struggling together and he said to the guilty [one] why? are you striking companion your.
14 Moto wana azongisaki: — Boni, nani akomisi yo mokonzi mpe mosambisi kati na biso? Olingi koboma ngai ndenge obomaki moto ya Ejipito? Moyize abangaki mpe amilobelaki: « Solo, likambo oyo nasalaki, esili koyeba. »
And he said who? did he appoint you to a man a chief and a judge over us ¿ to kill me [are] you saying just as you killed the Egyptian and he was afraid Moses and he thought truly it is known the matter.
15 Tango Faraon ayokaki likambo yango, alukaki nzela ya koboma Moyize; kasi Moyize akimaki liboso ya Faraon mpe akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Madiani.
And he heard Pharaoh the matter this and he sought to kill Moses and he fled Moses from before Pharaoh and he dwelt in [the] land of Midian and he sat at the well.
16 Moyize avandaki pembeni ya libulu ya mayi. Nzokande, Nganga-Nzambe ya Madiani azalaki na bana basi sambo. Bayaki kotoka mayi mpe batondisaki bimelelo mpo ete bamelisa bibwele ya tata na bango.
And [belonged] to [the] priest of Midian seven daughters and they came and they drew and they filled the drinking troughs to water [the] flock of father their.
17 Kasi babateli bibwele bayaki mpe babenganaki bango. Moyize atelemaki, akotelaki bango mpe amelisaki bibwele na bango mayi.
And they came the shepherds and they drove away them and he arose Moses and he delivered them and he watered flock their.
18 Tango bana basi bazongaki epai ya tata na bango Reweli, atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini lelo bozongi noki?
And they went to Reuel father their and he said why? did you hurry to come this day.
19 Bango bazongisaki: — Moto moko ya Ejipito abundelaki biso liboso ya babateli bibwele, atokelaki biso mayi mpe amelisaki bibwele.
And they said a man Egyptian he rescued us from [the] hand of the shepherds and also carefully he drew for us and he watered the flock.
20 Reweli atunaki bana na ye ya basi: — Moto yango ya Ejipito azali wapi? Mpo na nini botiki ye kuna? Bobenga ye mpo ete aya kolia.
And he said to daughters his and where [is]? he why? this have you left the man invite him so he may eat food.
21 Moyize andimaki kovanda elongo na Reweli; bongo Reweli apesaki Sefora, mwana na ye ya mwasi, mpo ete azala mwasi ya Moyize.
And he was willing Moses to dwell with the man and he gave Zipporah daughter his to Moses.
22 Sefora abotaki mwana mobali mpe Moyize apesaki ye kombo « Gerishomi, » pamba te alobaki: « Nazali mopaya na mboka mopaya. »
And she bore a son and he called name his Gershom for he said a sojourner I have become in a land foreign.
23 Sima na tango molayi, mokonzi ya Ejipito akufaki. Bato ya Isalaele bazalaki kolela mpe koganga na se ya pasi ya bowumbu. Bongo koganga na bango ekomaki kino epai ya Nzambe.
And it was in the days many those and he died [the] king of Egypt and they groaned [the] people of Israel from the labor and they cried out and it went up cry for help their to God from the labor.
24 Nzambe ayokaki koganga na bango mpe akanisaki boyokani na Ye oyo asalaki elongo na Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.
And he heard God groaning their and he remembered God covenant his with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob.
