Eksodosy 2
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin’ ny mpianakavin’ i Levy lasa naka vady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Levy.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took a daughter of Levi.
2 Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 Ary rehefa tsy azony nafenina intsony izy, dia nangalany fiara zozoro, ka nopetahany asfalta sy dity ny fiara, dia napetrany tao ny zaza; ary napetrany tao anaty zozoro teo amoron’ i Neily ny fiara.
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a box of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it amidst the flags by the brink of the river.
4 Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.
And his sister placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would be done to him.
5 Ary nidina ny zanakavavin’ i Farao mba handro tao Neily; ary ny ankizivaviny nitsangatsangana teny amoron’ i Neily; ary raha nahita ny fiara teo anaty zozoro ny zanakavavin’ i Farao, dia naniraka ny mpanompovaviny iray izy ka nampaka azy.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the side of the river; and when she saw the box among the flags, she sent her maid and fetched it.
6 Ary nony nosokafany, dia hitany ny zazakely; ary indro fa zazalahy mitomany. Dia namindra fo taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Isan’ ny zanaky ny Hebreo ity.
And she opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, it was a weeping boy; and she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Dia hoy kosa ny anabaviny tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao: Handeha haka mpitaiza amin’ ny vehivavy Hebreo va aho hankatỳ aminao mba hitaiza ny zaza ho anao?
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse for thee the child?
8 Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin’ ny zaza.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go; and the maiden went and called the mother of the child.
9 Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Ento ity zaza ity, ka tezao ho ahy, fa izaho handoa ny karamanao. Dia nentin-dravehivavy ny zaza ka notezainy.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take away this child, and nurse him for me, and I will give thee thy wages; and the woman took the child, and nursed him.
10 Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia nentiny tao amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Farao izy, ka dia tonga zanany. Ary ny anarany nataony hoe Mosesy; fa hoy izy: Satria tamin’ ny rano no nangalako azy.
And the child grew up, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became to her as a son; and she called his name Moses; and she said, Because out of the water have I drawn him.
11 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, rehefa lehibe Mosesy, dia nivoaka nankany amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nijery ny fanompoany mafy, ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana nanavokavoka ny anankiray tamin’ ny Hebreo rahalahiny.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdensome labors; and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew man, one of his brethren.
12 Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin’ ny fasika ny faty.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one by, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Ary nony ampitson’ iny, dia nivoaka indray izy, ary, indreo, nisy Hebreo roa lahy niady; dia hoy izy tamin’ ilay diso: Nahoana no mamono ny namanao ianao?
And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were striving together; and he said unto him that was in the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 Fa hoy izy: Iza no nanendry an’ ialahy ho mpanapaka sy mpitsara anay? Moa mikasa hamono ahy koa va ialahy, tahaka ny namonoan’ ialahy ilay Egyptiana? Dia raiki-tahotra Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Hay! fantatr’ olona izany!
And he said, Who made thee a chief and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou hast killed the Egyptian! And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is become known.
15 Ary rehefa ren’ i Farao izany zavatra izany, dia nitady hamono an’ i Mosesy izy. Fa Mosesy nandositra ny tavan’ i Farao ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Midiana; ny nipetraka teo anilan’ ny lavaka fantsakana izy.
And Pharaoh heard this thing, and he sought to slay Moses; but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and tarried in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
16 Ary ny mpisorona tao Midiana nanana zanaka fito mirahavavy; ary avy izy ireo, dia nanovo rano ka nameno ny tavin-drano hampisotroany ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy.
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 Ary avy kosa ny lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nandroaka azy; fa Mosesy nitsangana ka namonjy azy, dia nampisotro rano ny ondry aman’ osiny.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses arose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin-dRegoela rainy izy, dia hoy izy: Nahoana no dia nalaky tonga toy izany ianareo androany?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Wherefore are ye come home so soon today?
19 Ary hoy izy ireo: Nisy lehilahy Egyptiana anankiray namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpiandry ondry sady nanovo rano ho anay, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman’ osy.
And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he also drew water for us, and watered the flock.
20 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zananivavy: Ka aiza izy? Nahoana no nilaozanareo izany lehilahy izany? Alao izy mba hihinan-kanina.
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? wherefore have ye left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Ary sitrak’ i Mosesy ny hitoetra tao amin-dralehilahy. Ary Zipora zananivavy dia nomeny ho vadin’ i Mosesy.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 Dia niteraka zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany nataon-drainy hoe Gersoma; fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin’ ny tanin’ ny firenena hafa aho.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
23 Ary tao anatin’ izany andro maro izany dia maty ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nisento noho ny fanompoany ka nitaraina; ary niakatra tany amin’ Andriamanitra ny fitarainany noho ny fanompoany.
And it came to pass in this long time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried; and their complaint came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
