Исход 2
1 Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
2 и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for 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:
But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in the basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen 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.
Soon the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the Nile, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. And when she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maidservant to retrieve it.
6 Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew 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 one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
8 И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’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.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the boy and nursed him.
10 Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and explained, “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.
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
13 Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”
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?
But the man replied, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “This thing I have done has surely become 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.
When Pharaoh heard about this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, where he sat down beside 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 to draw water and fill 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 when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.
18 Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
19 Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even 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.
“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”
21 Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
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 gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner 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.
After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned and cried out under their burden of slavery, and their cry for deliverance from bondage ascended to God.
24 И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
God saw the Israelites and took notice.
