Исход 2
1 Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
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 и понеже не можаху его ктому крыти, взя ему мати его ковчежец ситовый и помаза и клеем и смолою, и вложи отроча в него, и положи его в лучице при реце:
And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch. And she put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's edge.
4 и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 Сниде же дщерь фараонова измытися на реку, и рабыни ея прохождаху при реце. И видевши ковчежец в лучице, пославши рабыню, взя и.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked along by the riverside. And she saw the ark among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6 Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
And she opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 И рече сестра его дщери фараонове: хощеши ли, призову ти жену кормилицу от Еврей, и воздоит ти отроча?
Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call a nurse for thee from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
9 Рече же к ней дщерь фараонова: соблюди ми отроча сие и воздой ми е: аз же дам ти мзду. Взя же отроча жена и дояше е.
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 Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
And the child grew, and 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 Бысть же во дни многия оны, велик быв Моисей, изыде к братиям своим, сыном Израилевым. Разумев же болезнь их, виде человека Египтянина биюща некоего Евреанина от братии его сынов Израилевых.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
12 Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
And he looked 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 Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together. And he said to him who did the wrong, Why do thou smite thy neighbor?
14 Он же рече: кто тя постави князя и судию над нами? Еда убити мя ты хощеши, имже образом убил еси вчера Египтянина? Убояся же Моисей и рече: аще сице явлен бысть глагол сей?
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Do thou think to kill me, as thou killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known.
15 Услыша же фараон глагол сей и искаше убити Моисеа. Отиде же Моисей от лица фараонова и вселися в земли Мадиамстей: пришед же в землю Мадиамскую седе при кладязе.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
16 Священнику же Мадиамскому беша седмь дщерей, пасущих овцы отца своего Иофора: пришедшя же черпаху, дондеже наполниша корыта, напоити овцы отца своего Иофора.
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 Пришедше же пастырие изгнаша я. Востав же Моисей избави их, и налия им и напои овцы их.
And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye have come so soon today?
19 Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.
20 Он же рече дщерем своим: и где есть? И вскую сице остависте человека? Призовите убо его, да яст хлеб.
And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Во чреве же заченши жена роди сына, и нарече Моисей имя ему Гирсам, глаголя: яко пришлец есмь в земли чуждей. Еще же заченши роди сына втораго, и нарече имя ему Елиезер, глаголя: Бог бо отца моего помощник мой и избави мя из руки фараоновы.
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
23 По днех же многих тех, умре царь Египетский, и возстенаша сынове Израилевы от дел и возопиша, и взыде вопль их к Богу от дел.
And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
And God saw the sons of Israel, and God took knowledge of them.
