2 Мојсијева 2
1 А неко од племена Левијевог отиде и ожени се кћерју Левијевом.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took a daughter of Levi.
2 И она затрудне и роди сина; и видећи га лепог кријаше га три месеца.
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 А кад га не може више крити, уже ковчежић од сите, и обли га смолом и паклином, и метну дете у њ, и однесе га у трску крај реке.
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 А сестра његова стаде подаље да види шта ће бити од њега.
And his sister placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would be done to him.
5 А кћи Фараонова дође да се купа у реци, и девојке њене ходаху крај реке; и она угледа ковчежић у трсци, и посла дворкињу своју те га извади.
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 А кад отвори, виде дете, и гле, дете плакаше; и сажали јој се, и рече: То је јеврејско дете.
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 Тада рече сестра његова кћери Фараоновој: Хоћеш ли да идем да ти дозовем дојкињу Јеврејку, да ти доји дете?
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 А кћи Фараонова рече јој: Иди. И отиде девојчица, и дозва матер детињу.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go; and the maiden went and called the mother of the child.
9 И кћи Фараонова рече јој: Узми ово дете, и одој ми га, а ја ћу ти платити. И узе жена дете и одоји га.
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 А кад дете одрасте, одведе га ка кћери Фараоновој, а она га посини; и надеде му име Мојсије говорећи: Јер га из воде извадих.
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 И кад Мојсије беше велик, изађе к браћи својој, и гледаше невољу њихову. И виде где некакав Мисирац бије човека Јеврејина између браће његове.
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 И обазрев се и тамо и амо, кад виде да нема никога, уби Мисирца, и закопа га у песак.
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 И сутрадан изађе опет, а то се два Јеврејина свађаху, и рече оном који чињаше криво: Зашто бијеш ближњег свог?
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 А он рече: Ко је тебе поставио кнезом и судијом над нама? Хоћеш ли да ме убијеш као што си убио Мисирца? Тада се Мојсије уплаши и рече: Заиста се дознало.
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 И Фараон чувши за то тражаше да погуби Мојсија. Али Мојсије побеже од Фараона и дође у земљу мадијанску, и седе код једног студенца.
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 А свештеник мадијански имаше седам кћери, и оне дођоше и стадоше захватати воду и наливати у појила да напоје стадо оца свог.
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 А дођоше пастири, и отераше их; а Мојсије уста и одбрани их, и напоји им стадо.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses arose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 И оне се вратише к оцу свом Рагуилу; а он рече: Што се данас тако брзо вратисте?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Wherefore are ye come home so soon today?
19 А оне рекоше: Један Мисирац одбрани нас од пастира, и нали нам и напоји стадо.
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 А он рече кћерима својим: Па где је? Зашто остависте тог човека? Зовите га да једе.
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? wherefore have ye left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 И Мојсије се склони да живи код оног човека, и он даде Мојсију кћер своју Сефору.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 И она роди сина, и он му надеде име Гирсам, јер сам, рече, дошљак у земљи туђој.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
23 А после много времена умре цар мисирски; и уздисаху од невоље синови Израиљеви и викаху; и вика њихова ради невоље дође до Бога.
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 И Бог чу уздисање њихово, и опомену се Бог завета свог с Аврамом, с Исаком и с Јаковом.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 И погледа Бог на синове Израиљеве, и виде их.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
