Eksodosy 2
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin’ ny mpianakavin’ i Levy lasa naka vady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Levy.
A man of the house of Levi [United with] went and took a daughter of Levi [United with] as his wife.
2 Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.
The woman conceived, and bore a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, 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.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.
His sister stood far off, to see 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.
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get 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.
She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ [Immigrants’] 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 his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
8 Ary hoy ny zanakavavin’ i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin’ ny zaza.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.
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.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.
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.
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
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.
In those days, when Moses [Drawn out] had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] striking a Hebrew [Immigrant], one of his brothers.
12 Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin’ ny fasika ny faty.
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], 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?
He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews [Immigrants] were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your 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!
He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery]?” Moses [Drawn out] was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is 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.
Now when Pharaoh sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this thing, he sought to kill Moses [Drawn out]. But Moses [Drawn out] fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian [Strife], 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 [Strife] had seven daughters. 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.
The shepherds came and divorced them away; but Moses [Drawn out] stood up 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?
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early 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.
They said, “An Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he 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.
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have 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.
Moses [Drawn out] was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses [Drawn out] Zipporah, his daughter.
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.
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner 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.
In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] died, and the children of Israel [God prevails] sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their groaning, and God remembered his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with Abraham [Father of a multitude], with Isaac [Laughter], and with Jacob [Supplanter].
25 Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
God saw the children of Israel [God prevails], and God was concerned about them.
