Екзодул 2
1 Ун ом дин каса луй Леви луасе де невастэ пе о фатэ а луй Леви.
(There was a man who/My father) was descended from [Jacob’s son] Levi. He married a woman who was [also] descended from Levi.
2 Фемея ачаста а рэмас ынсэрчинатэ ши а нэскут ун фиу. А вэзут кэ есте фрумос ши л-а аскунс трей лунь.
She became pregnant and gave birth to (a baby boy/me). When she saw that he/I was a good-looking baby, she hid him/me for three months, [because she was not willing to do what the king commanded].
3 Немайпутынд сэ-л аскундэ, а луат ун сикриаш де папурэ, пе каре л-а унс ку лут ши ку смоалэ, а пус копилул ын ел ши л-а ашезат ынтре трестий, пе малул рыулуй.
When she was unable to (hide him/me/keep it a secret) any longer, she got a basket made from tall reeds. She covered the basket with tar ([to make it waterproof/so water could not get in]). Then she put him/me in the basket and put the basket in [the water] in the middle of the tall grass at the edge of the Nile [River].
4 Сора копилулуй пындя ла о депэртаре оарекаре, ка сэ вадэ че аре сэ и се ынтымпле.
His/My older sister was standing not far away, [watching to see] what would happen to him/me.
5 Фата луй Фараон с-а коборыт ла рыу сэ се скалде, ши фетеле каре о ынсоцяу се плимбау пе марӂиня рыулуй. Еа а зэрит сикриашул ын мижлокул трестиилор ши а тримис пе роаба ей сэ-л я.
[Soon] the king’s daughter went down to the river to bathe. Her female servants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket amid the tall grass [in the river]. So she sent [one of] her servants to get it.
6 Л-а дескис ши а вэзут копилул: ера ун бэецаш каре плынӂя. Й-а фост милэ де ел ши а зис: „Есте ун копил де-ал евреилор!”
When [the servant brought the basket to her], she opened it, and was surprised to see (a baby that was/me), crying. She felt sorry for him/me, and said, “This [must] be one of the Hebrews’ babies.”
7 Атунч, сора копилулуй а зис фетей луй Фараон: „Сэ мэ дук сэ-ць кем о дойкэ динтре фемеиле евреилор ка сэ-ць алэптезе копилул?”
Then (the baby’s/my) [older] sister [approached] the king’s daughter and said, “Do you want me to go and find someone from among the Hebrew women who will [be able to] nurse the baby for you?”
8 „Ду-те”, й-а рэспунс фата луй Фараон. Ши фата с-а дус ши а кемат пе мама копилулуй.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Yes], go [and find one].” So the girl went and summoned (the baby’s/my) mother.
9 Фата луй Фараон й-а зис: „Я копилул ачеста, алэптязэ-ми-л ши ыць вой плэти.” Фемея а луат копилул ши л-а алэптат.
The king’s daughter said to her, “[Please] take this baby and nurse him for me. I will pay you [for doing that].” So (the woman/my mother) took him/me and nursed him/me.
10 Копилул а крескут ши еа л-а адус фетей луй Фараон, ши ел й-а фост фиу. Й-а пус нумеле Мойсе „кэч”, а зис еа, „л-ам скос дин апе”.
([A few years later]/when (the child/I) grew [older]), she brought him/me to the king’s daughter. She adopted him/me [as though I was] her own son. She named him/me Moses, [which sounds like the Hebrew words ‘pull out’], because she said “I pulled him out of the water.”
11 Ын время ачея, Мойсе, крескынд маре, а ешит пе ла фраций сэй ши а фост мартор ла мунчиле лор греле. А вэзут пе ун еӂиптян каре бэтя пе ун евреу, унул динтре фраций луй.
One day, after Moses/I had grown up, he/I went out [of the palace area] to see his/my people, [the Hebrews]. He/I saw how they were being [forced to work] very hard. He/I [also] saw an Egyptian [man] beating one of his/my Hebrew people.
12 С-а уйтат ын тоате пэрциле ши, вэзынд кэ ну есте нимень, а оморыт пе еӂиптян ши л-а аскунс ын нисип.
He/I looked around [to see if anyone was watching]. Seeing no one, he/I killed the Egyptian man and buried his [body] in the sand.
13 А ешит ши ын зиуа урмэтоаре ши ятэ кэ дой еврей се чертау. А зис челуй че н-авя дрептате: „Пентру че ловешть пе семенул тэу?”
The next day he/I returned [to the same place]. He/I was surprised to see two Hebrew men who were fighting [each other]. He/I said to the man who started the fight, “Why are you (you should not be) striking your fellow [Hebrew].”
14 Ши омул ачела а рэспунс: „Чине те-а пус пе тине май-маре ши жудекэтор песте ной? Ну кумва ай де гынд сэ мэ оморь ши пе мине кум ай оморыт пе еӂиптянул ачела?” Мойсе с-а темут ши а зис: „Ну май ынкапе ындоялэ кэ фаптул есте куноскут.”
The man replied, “(Who made you our ruler and judge?/No one made you our ruler and judge!) [RHQ] [You have no right to interfere with us] Are you going to kill me just like you killed that Egyptian man [yesterday]?” Then Moses/I was afraid, [because] he/I thought, “[Since that man knows what I did], surely [other people] know, [too].”
15 Фараон а афлат че се петрекусе ши кэута сэ-л омоаре пе Мойсе. Дар Мойсе а фуӂит динаинтя луй Фараон ши а локуит ын цара Мадиан. А шезут лынгэ о фынтынэ.
[And that was correct]. The king heard about what he/I had done [to that Egyptian. So he ordered his soldiers to] execute/kill Moses/me. But he/I fled from the king [and left Egypt. He/I traveled east to] the Midian [region] and started to live there.
16 Преотул дин Мадиан авя шапте фете. Еле ау венит сэ скоатэ апэ ши ау умплут жгябуриле ка сэ адапе турма татэлуй лор.
The man who was the (priest/one who offered the people’s gifts to God) for the Midian people, [whose name was Jethro], had seven daughters. [One day] as Moses/I sat down beside a well, those girls came [to the well] and got water, and filled the troughs in order to give water to their father’s flock [of sheep].
17 Дар ау венит пэсторий ши ле-ау луат ла гоанэ. Атунч, Мойсе с-а скулат, ле-а ажутат ши ле-а адэпат турма.
Some (shepherds/men who took care of other sheep) came and started to chase away the girls. But Moses/I helped/rescued the girls, and got water for their sheep.
18 Кынд с-ау ынторс еле ла татэл лор, Реуел, ел а зис: „Пентру че вэ ынтоарчець аша де курынд азь?”
When the girls returned to their father [Jethro], [whose other name is] Reuel, he asked them, “How is it that you were able to [give water to the sheep and] come home so quickly today?”
19 Еле ау рэспунс: „Ун еӂиптян не-а скэпат дин мына пэсторилор ши кяр не-а скос апэ ши а адэпат турма.”
They replied, “A man from Egypt kept [MTY] other shepherds from sending us away. He also got water for us [from the well] and gave water to the flock [of sheep].”
20 Ши ел а зис фетелор: „Унде есте? Пентру че аць лэсат аколо пе омул ачела? Кемаци-л сэ мэнынче пыне!”
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? (Why did you leave him [out there]?/You should not leave him [out there]!) [RHQ] Invite him [in], so he can have something to eat [MTY]!”
21 Мойсе с-а хотэрыт сэ локуяскэ ла омул ачела, каре й-а дат де невастэ пе фийкэ-са Сефора.
[So they did], and Moses/I [accepted and ate with them]. And Moses/I decided to live there. Later Jethro gave him/me his daughter Zipporah [to be his/my wife].
22 Еа а нэскут ун фиу, кэруя ел й-а пус нумеле Гершом „кэч”, а зис ел, „локуеск ка стрэин ынтр-о царэ стрэинэ”.
Later she gave birth to a son, and Moses/I named him Gershom, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘foreigner’], because he/I said, “I am living as a foreigner in [this] land.”
23 Дупэ мултэ време, ымпэратул Еӂиптулуй а мурит, ши копиий луй Исраел ӂемяу ынкэ дин причина робией ши скотяу стригэте дезнэдэждуите. Стригэтеле ачестя, пе каре ли ле смулӂя робия, с-ау суит пынэ ла Думнезеу.
Many years later the king of Egypt died. The Israeli people [in Egypt] were still groaning because of the [hard work they had to do as] slaves. They called out for [someone to] help them, and God heard them call out [PRS].
24 Думнезеу а аузит ӂеметеле лор ши Шь-а адус аминте де легэмынтул Сэу фэкут ку Авраам, Исаак ши Иаков.
He heard them groaning. And he (thought about/did not forget) that he had solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [to bless their descendants].
25 Думнезеу а привит спре копиий луй Исраел ши а луат куноштинцэ де ей.
God saw how the Israeli people were [being badly treated], and he was concerned about them.
