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 bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so 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 an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank of the river.
4 А сестра његова стаде подаље да види шта ће бити од њега.
Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —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.
So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, 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 and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
7 Тада рече сестра његова кћери Фараоновој: Хоћеш ли да идем да ти дозовем дојкињу Јеврејку, да ти доји дете?
Then said his sister unto 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. So the maid 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 to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So 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.
And the child grew, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew 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 grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—of his brethren,
12 И обазрев се и тамо и амо, кад виде да нема никога, уби Мисирца, и закопа га у песак.
So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, 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 he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite 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 hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the 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.
So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the 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 and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
17 А дођоше пастири, и отераше их; а Мојсије уста и одбрани их, и напоји им стадо.
Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
18 И оне се вратише к оцу свом Рагуилу; а он рече: Што се данас тако брзо вратисте?
Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
19 А оне рекоше: Један Мисирац одбрани нас од пастира, и нали нам и напоји стадо.
And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, 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 is it that 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 well-pleased 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 bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange 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, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
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.
so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
