Ekoruhe 2
1 Na ka haere tetahi tangata o te whare o Riwai, ka tango i tetahi tamahine a Riwai hei wahine.
Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui,
2 A ka hapu te wahine, ka whanau he tane: a, ka kitea he tamaiti pai, e toru nga marama i huna ai ia e ia.
And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths.
3 A, te ahei ia te huna tonu i a ia, ka tango ia i tetahi aaka kakaho mona, pani rawa ki te uku, ki te ware, a whaowhina ana te tamaiti ki roto; whakatakotoria iho ki roto ki nga wiwi i te pareparenga o te awa.
But when she could no longer hide him, she tooke for him an arke made of reede, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laide the childe therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the riuers brinke.
4 A tu ana i tawhiti tona tuahine, kia kite e ahatia ranei ia.
Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him.
5 Na ko te haerenga iho o te tamahine a Parao ki te horoi; ko ana kotiro hoki e haere ana i te taha o te awa; a, ka kite ia i te aaka i roto i nga wiwi, ka ngare i tana kotiro ki te tiki.
Then ye daughter of Pharaoh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her maidens walked by the riuers side: and when shee sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent her maide to fet it.
6 A, no tana hurahanga ake, ka kite i te tamaiti; na, ka tangi te tamaiti. A ka aroha ia ki a ia, ka mea, No nga tamariki a nga Hiperu tenei.
Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe: and beholde, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and sayde, This is one of the Ebrewes children.
7 Katahi ka mea tona tuahine ki te tamahine a Parao, Kia haere ahau ki te karanga i tetahi wahine whakangote o nga Hiperu ki a koe hei whakangote mau i te tamaiti?
Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and cal vnto thee a nurce of the Ebrew women to nurce thee the childe?
8 A ka ki te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Haere: a haere ana te kotiro, karanga ana i te whaea o te tamaiti.
And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother,
9 A ka mea te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Tangohia te tamaiti nei, whakangotea maku, a maku e hoatu he utu ki a koe. Na tango ana te wahine i te tamaiti, a whakangotea ana e ia.
To whome Pharaohs daughter sayde, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil reward thee. Then the woman tooke the childe and nurced him.
10 A, ka nui te tamaiti, ka kawea e ia ki te tamahine a Parao, a ka waiho ia hei tama mana. A huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Mohi: i mea hoki, No te mea i toia ake ia e ahau i roto i te wai.
Nowe the childe grewe, and she brought him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drewe him out of the water.
11 A i aua ra, ka kaumatuatia a Mohi, na ka haere ki ona tuakana, ka titiro hoki ki a ratou kawenga: a ka kite ia i tetahi Ihipiana e patu ana i tetahi Hiperu, no ona tuakana.
And in those dayes, when Moses was growen, he went forth vnto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he sawe an Egyptian smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren.
12 Na ka tahurihuri ia, a ka kite kahore he tangata, patua iho te Ihipiana, a huna iho ki te onepu.
And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande.
13 A ka haere ia i te rua o nga ra, na, tokorua nga tangata o nga Hiperu e whawhai ana ki a raua: a ka mea atu ia ki te tangata nana te kino, He aha koe i patu ai i tou hoa?
Againe he came forth the second day, and behold, two Ebrewes stroue: and he said vnto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowe?
14 Na ka mea tera, Na wai koe i ki hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakawa mo matou? E mea ana koe ki te patu i ahau me koe i patu ra i te Ihipiana? A ka wehi a Mohi, ka mea, Koia hoki, kua rangona tenei mea.
And hee answered, Who made thee a man of authoritie, and a iudge ouer vs? Thinkest thou to kill mee, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and sayde, Certainly this thing is knowen.
15 A ka rongo a Parao i taua mea, na ka whai kia patua a Mohi. Otiia i rere a Mohi i te aroaro o Parao, a noho ana i te whenua o Miriana: na kua noho ia ki te puna.
Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the lande of Midian, and hee sate downe by a well.
16 Na, tokowhitu nga tamahine a te tohunga o Miriana: a ka haere ratou, ka utuutu wai, ka whakaki i nga waka, hei whakainu i nga hipi a to ratou papa.
And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe.
17 A ko te haerenga o nga hepara, kei te atiati i a ratou: a ka whakatika a Mohi ka araarai i a ratou, ka whakainu i a ratou hipi.
Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe.
18 A ka tae ratou ki a Reuere, ki to ratou papa, ka mea ia, Na te aha koutou i hohoro mai ai inaianei?
And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day?
19 A ka mea ratou, Na tetahi Ihipiana i ora ai matou i te ringa o nga hepara, nana ano i utuutu he wai ma matou, i whakainu hoki nga hipi.
And they saide, A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the hand of the shepherdes, and also drew vs water ynough, and watered the sheepe.
20 Na ka mea ia ki ana tamahine, A kei hea ia? He aha taua tangata i whakarerea ai e koutou? karangatia ki te kai taro.
Then he saide vnto his daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man? call him that he may eate bread.
21 A i pai a Mohi ki te noho ki taua tangata; a ka homai e ia a Hipora, tana tamahine, ki a Mohi.
And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
22 A ka whanau ia, he tane, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Kerehoma. I mea hoki ia, He manene ahau i te whenua ke.
And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande.
23 Na i muri i nga ra e maha ka mate te kingi o Ihipa; a ka hotu te manawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te whakamahinga, a aue ana ratou; a ka puta ake ta ratou aue ki te Atua, no ratou hoki e whakamahia ana.
Then in processe of time, the King of Egypt dyed, and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cryed: and their crie for the bondage came vp vnto God.
24 A ka rongo te Atua ki ta ratou tangi, ka mahara te Atua ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Hakopa, ki a Ihaka.
Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
25 Na ka titiro te Atua ki nga tama a Iharaira, a ka mohio te Atua ki a ratou.
So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.
