Okuva 2
1 Awo olwatuuka omusajja ow’omu kika kya Leevi, n’agenda n’awasa omukazi, nga naye Muleevi.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, —and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Omukazi oyo n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi; naye bwe yalaba nga mwana alabika obulungi ennyo, n’amukwekera emyezi esatu.
And the woman conceived and bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so she hid him three months.
3 Naye bwe yatuusa ekiseera nga takyasobola kumukweka, n’amufunira ekibaya eky’ebitoogo, n’akisiigako ebitosi ne koolaasi; omwana n’amuteeka omwo, n’akissa mu bitoogo ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira.
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.
4 Mwannyina w’omwana n’ayimiriranga nga yeesuddeko akabanga, alabe ebinaamutuukangako.
Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —to see what would be done to him.
5 Awo muwala wa Falaawo n’aserengeta ku mugga Kiyira okunaaba; abaweereza be abawala ne batambulira ku lubalama lw’omugga; muwala wa Falaawo n’alaba ekibaya mu bitoogo, n’atuma omu ku bawala okukikima, n’akireeta.
So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, and fetched it.
6 Bwe yakisaanukulako, n’alabamu omwana. Omwana yali akaaba, n’amusaasira nnyo, n’agamba nti, “Ono y’omu ku baana abawere aba Baebbulaniya.”
And she opened and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
7 Awo mwannyina w’omwana n’asembera, n’agamba muwala wa Falaawo nti, “Ŋŋende nkuyitire omulezi w’abaana Omwebbulaniya ajje akumulerere?”
Then said his sister unto Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse, of the Hebrew women, —that she may nurse for thee the child?
8 Muwala wa Falaawo n’amuddamu nti, “Kale, genda.” Omuwala mwannyina w’omwana oyo bwe yagenda, yaleeta nnyina wa mwana!
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Go. So the maid went, and called the mother of the child.
9 Muwala wa Falaawo n’agamba nnyina w’omwana nti, “Twala omwana ono omunderere, nnaakusasulanga.” Omukazi oyo n’atwala omwana n’amulera.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 Omwana bwe yakula, n’amutwalira muwala wa Falaawo, n’afuuka omwana wa muwala wa Falaawo. N’amutuuma erinnya Musa, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga namuggya mu mazzi.”
And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew him.
11 Awo olwatuuka, Musa ng’amaze okukula, n’agendako mu bantu be Abaebbulaniya, n’alaba emirimu emikakanyavu gye baali bakozesebwa. N’alaba Omumisiri ng’akuba Omwebbulaniya, omuntu ow’omu baganda be.
And it came to pass in those days when Moses grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—of his brethren,
12 Awo Musa n’amagamaga, bwe yalaba nga teri muntu mulala amulaba, n’akwata Omumisiri n’amutta, n’amukweka mu musenyu.
So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Bwe yaddayo enkeera, n’alaba abasajja babiri Abaebbulaniya nga balwana. N’abuuza oyo eyali asobezza nti, “Lwaki okuba Mwebbulaniya munno?”
And he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite thy fellow?
14 Omusajja n’amuddamu nti, “Ani eyakulonda okuba omufuzi waffe era omulamuzi waffe? Oyagala kunzita nga bwe watta Omumisiri?” Musa n’atya, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Ekintu kye nakola kirabika kyategeerebwa.”
And he said—Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the thing is, known!
15 Awo Falaawo bwe yakiwulira, n’agezaako okutta Musa. Naye Musa n’aviira Falaawo, n’addukira mu nsi ya Midiyaani; n’atuula awali oluzzi.
So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.
16 Waaliwo kabona mu Midiyaani eyalina abaana be abawala musanvu, ne bajja okusena amazzi bajjuze ebyesero banywese endiga za kitaabwe.
Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, —and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
17 Kyokka ne wabaawo abasumba ne bajja ne babagobawo; naye Musa n’asituka n’abalwanirira, n’anywesa endiga zaabwe.
Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
18 Abawala bwe baddayo eka eri kitaabwe Leweri, n’ababuuza nti, “Nga mukomyewo mangu leero?”
Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
19 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Omusajja Omumisiri atulwaniridde ng’abasumba batujoogereza; y’atusenedde n’amazzi n’anywesa ekisibo kyaffe.”
And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, for us, and watered the flock.
20 N’abuuza bawala be nti, “Ali ludda wa? Ye lwaki mumuleseeyo? Mumuyite ajje alye ku mmere.”
And he said unto his daughters—And where is he? wherefore is it that ye left the man? Call him that he may eat bread.
21 Musa n’akkiriza. N’abeerera ddala mu maka ga Leweri. Leweri n’awa Musa muwala we Zipola okuba mukyala we.
And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, —and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 Zipola n’amuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi. Musa n’amutuuma erinnya Gerusomu, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga ndi mugwira mu nsi etali yange.”
And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
23 Awo nga wayiseewo ebbanga ggwanvu, kabaka w’e Misiri n’afa. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basindanga era ne bakaabanga olw’obuddu bwe baalimu, n’okukaaba kwabwe ne kutuuka eri Katonda.
And it came to pass, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
24 Katonda n’awulira okusinda kwabwe. Katonda n’ajjukira endagaano ye gye yalagaana ne Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.
And God heard their groaning, —and God remembered his covenant, with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob;
25 Katonda n’atunuulira abaana ba Isirayiri, n’ategeera okubonaabona kwabwe.
so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
