Ekisodho 2
1 Zvino mumwe murume weimba yaRevhi akawana mukadzi,
And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi.
2 uye mukadzi uyu akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Paakaona kuti akanga ari mwana akanaka, akamuvanza kwemwedzi mitatu.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son. And she saw him that he was fair, and hid him three months.
3 Asi akati asisagoni kumuvanza, akamutorera tswanda yenhokwe akainama netara nenamo. Ipapo akaisa mwana imomo ndokuiisa pakati petsanga dzaiva mumahombekombe aNairi.
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of reeds, and plastered it with resin and with pitch, and put the child in it, and laid [it] in the sedge on the bank of the river.
4 Hanzvadzi yake yakamira iri chinhambwe kuti ione kuti chii chaizoitika kwaari.
And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
5 Ipapo mwanasikana waFaro akaburuka akaenda kurwizi Nairi kuti andoshamba, uye varandakadzi vake vakanga vachifamba vachitevedza mahombekombe. Akaona tswanda pakati petsanga ndokubva atuma murandakadzi wake kuti andoitora.
And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the river; and her maids went along by the river's side. And she saw the ark in the midst of the sedge, and sent her handmaid and fetched it.
6 Akaizarura akaona mwana. Akanga achichema, uye akamunzwira tsitsi. Akati, “Uyu ndomumwe wavana vavaHebheru.”
And she opened [it], and saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is [one] of the Hebrews' children.
7 Ipapo hanzvadzi yake yakakumbira mwanasikana waFaro ikati, “Ndingaenda here ndikandokutorerai mumwe wavakadzi vechiHebheru kuti azokurererai mwana?”
And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a wet-nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 Uye mwanasikana waFaro akapindura akati, “Hongu.” Uye musikana akaenda akandotora mai vomwana.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the damsel went and called the child's mother.
9 Mwanasikana waFaro akati kwavari, “Tora mwana uyu unondirererawo, uye ini ndichakupa muripo wako.” Saka mukadzi akatora mwana akamurera.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
10 Mwana akati akura, akamutora akaenda naye kumwanasikana waFaro akava mwanakomana wake. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Mozisi, achiti, “Ndakamutora mumvura.”
And when the child was grown, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 Rimwe zuva Mozisi akura, akaenda kwakanga kuna vanhu vokwake uye akavatarira vari pabasa ravo rakaoma. Akaona muIjipita achirova muHebheru, mumwe wavanhu vokwake.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Akaringa-ringa ndokuona kusina munhu achibva auraya muIjipita, ndokumuviga mujecha.
And he turned this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Zuva rakatevera, akabuda akaona vaHebheru vaviri vachirwa. Akabvunza uya akanga akanganisa akati, “Seiko uchirova mumwe wako muHebheru?”
And he went out on the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to him that was in the wrong, Why art thou smiting thy neighbour?
14 Murume uya akati, “Ndianiko akakuita mubati nomutongi pamusoro pedu? Uri kuda kundiuraya sokuuraya kwawakaita muIjipita nhai?” Ipapo Mozisi akatya akafunga akati, “Zvandakaita zvinofanira kuva zvava kuzivikanwa.”
And he said, Who made thee ruler and judge over us? dost thou intend to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared, and said, Surely the matter is known.
15 Faro akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kuuraya Mozisi, asi Mozisi akatiza Faro akaenda kundogara kuMidhiani, uye akagara patsime.
And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian. And he sat by the well.
16 Zvino muprista weMidhiani akanga ana vanasikana vanomwe uye vakauya kuzochera mvura yokuti vazadze midziyo yainwira zvipfuwo zvababa vavo.
And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs, to water their father's flock.
17 Vamwe vafudzi vakasvika vakavadzinga, asi Mozisi akasimuka akavanunura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo zvavo.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses rose and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Vasikana pavakadzokera kuna Reueri baba vavo, akavabvunza akati, “Makurumidza seiko kudzoka nhasi?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why are ye come so soon to-day?
19 Vakapindura vakati, “Tanunurwa nomuIjipita kubva kuvafudzi. Abva aticherera mvura uye akanwisa zvipfuwo.”
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] abundantly for us, and watered the flock.
20 Akabvunza vanasikana vake akati, “Aripiko? Mamusiyirei? Mudanei, auye azodya.”
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why then have ye left the man behind? Call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Mozisi akabvuma kugara nomurume uyu, uyo akazopa mwanasikana wake Zipora kuna Mozisi kuti ave mukadzi wake.
And Moses consented to remain with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Zipora akabereka mwanakomana, uye Mozisi akamutumidza zita rokuti Gerishomi, achiti, “Ndava mueni munyika yavatorwa.”
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
23 Zvino makore mazhinji akati apfuura, mambo weIjipiti akafa. VaIsraeri vakagomera muutapwa hwavo uye vakachema, kuchemera rubatsiro rwavo nokuda kwoutapwa hwavo kukakwira kuna Mwari.
And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage;
24 Mwari akanzwa kugomera kwavo uye akarangarira sungano yake naAbhurahama, naIsaka uye naJakobho.
and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
25 Saka Mwari akatarisa pamusoro pavaIsraeri akava nehanya navo.
and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged [them].
