< 2 Мојсијева 2 >

1 А неко од племена Левијевог отиде и ожени се кћерју Левијевом.
A man of the house of Levi [United with] went and took a daughter of Levi [United with] as his wife.
2 И она затрудне и роди сина; и видећи га лепог кријаше га три месеца.
The woman conceived, and bore a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, 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.
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 А сестра његова стаде подаље да види шта ће бити од њега.
His sister stood far off, to see 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.
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 А кад отвори, виде дете, и гле, дете плакаше; и сажали јој се, и рече: То је јеврејско дете.
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 Тада рече сестра његова кћери Фараоновој: Хоћеш ли да идем да ти дозовем дојкињу Јеврејку, да ти доји дете?
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 А кћи Фараонова рече јој: Иди. И отиде девојчица, и дозва матер детињу.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.
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.
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 А кад дете одрасте, одведе га ка кћери Фараоновој, а она га посини; и надеде му име Мојсије говорећи: Јер га из воде извадих.
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 И кад Мојсије беше велик, изађе к браћи својој, и гледаше невољу њихову. И виде где некакав Мисирац бије човека Јеврејина између браће његове.
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 И обазрев се и тамо и амо, кад виде да нема никога, уби Мисирца, и закопа га у песак.
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 И сутрадан изађе опет, а то се два Јеврејина свађаху, и рече оном који чињаше криво: Зашто бијеш ближњег свог?
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 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.
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 И Фараон чувши за то тражаше да погуби Мојсија. Али Мојсије побеже од Фараона и дође у земљу мадијанску, и седе код једног студенца.
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 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 [Strife] had seven daughters. 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.
The shepherds came and divorced them away; but Moses [Drawn out] stood up 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?
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
19 А оне рекоше: Један Мисирац одбрани нас од пастира, и нали нам и напоји стадо.
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 А он рече кћерима својим: Па где је? Зашто остависте тог човека? Зовите га да једе.
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 И Мојсије се склони да живи код оног човека, и он даде Мојсију кћер своју Сефору.
Moses [Drawn out] was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses [Drawn out] Zipporah, his daughter.
22 И она роди сина, и он му надеде име Гирсам, јер сам, рече, дошљак у земљи туђој.
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner 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.
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 И Бог чу уздисање њихово, и опомену се Бог завета свог с Аврамом, с Исаком и с Јаковом.
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 И погледа Бог на синове Израиљеве, и виде их.
God saw the children of Israel [God prevails], and God was concerned about them.
