2 Mojzes 2
1 Odšel je mož iz Lévijeve hiše in za ženo vzel Lévijevo hčer.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 Ženska je spočela in rodila sina in ko je videla, da je bil čeden otrok, ga je skrivala tri mesece.
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 Ko pa ga ni mogla več skrivati, je zanj vzela pletenico iz ločja, jo namazala z blatom in s smolo in vanjo položila otroka in to položila v rogoz poleg rečnega brega.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 Njegova sestra pa je stala daleč stran, da izve kaj se bo z njim zgodilo.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 In dol je prišla faraonova hči, da se pri reki umije, njene služabnice pa so hodile vzdolž rečnega brega in ko je med rogozom zagledala pletenico, je poslala svojo služabnico, da odide ponjo.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6 Ko jo je ta odprla, je zagledala otroka in glej, dojenček je jokal. Do njega je imela sočutje ter rekla: »To je eden izmed hebrejskih otrok.«
And she opened it, and saw it, even the child; and behold a boy that wept. And she had compassion on him, and said: 'This is one of the Hebrews' children.'
7 Potem je njegova sestra rekla faraonovi hčeri: »Ali naj grem in k tebi pokličem dojiljo izmed hebrejskih žensk, da bo lahko otroka dojila zate?«
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter: 'Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?'
8 Faraonova hči ji je rekla: »Pojdi.« Deklica je odšla in poklicala otrokovo mater.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: 'Go.' And the maiden went and called the child's mother.
9 Faraonova hči ji je rekla: »Odnesi tega otroka proč in ga dôji zame, jaz pa ti bom dajala tvoja plačila.« In ženska je vzela otroka ter ga dojila.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto 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 Otrok je zrastel in privedla ga je k faraonovi hčeri in ta je postal njen sin. Njegovo ime je imenovala Mojzes. Rekla je: »Ker sem ga potegnila iz vode.«
And the child grew, and she brought him unto 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 Pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, ko je Mojzes odrasel, da je odšel k svojim bratom, gledal na njihova bremena in oprezal za Egipčanom, ki je udarjal Hebrejca, enega izmed njegovih bratov.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 Pogledal je to pot in tisto pot in ko je videl, da tam ni bilo nobenega človeka, je Egipčana usmrtil in ga skril v pesek.
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 Ko je drug dan odšel ven, glej, dva moža izmed Hebrejcev sta se skupaj prepirala in temu, ki je storil napačno, je rekel: »Čemu udarjaš svojega rojaka?«
And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together; and he said to him that did the wrong: 'Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?'
14 Ta pa je rekel: »Kdo te je naredil princa in sodnika nad nama? Ali me nameravaš ubiti, kakor si ubil Egipčana?« Mojzes se je zbal ter rekel: »Ta stvar se je zagotovo izvedela.«
And he said: 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian?' And Moses feared, and said: 'Surely the thing is known.'
15 Torej, ko je faraon slišal to stvar, je iskal Mojzesa, da ga ubije. Mojzes pa je pobegnil izpred faraonovega obličja in prebival v midjánski deželi in se usedel poleg vodnjaka.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
16 Torej duhovnik iz Midjána je imel sedem hčera in prišle so, zajele vodo in napolnile korita, da bi napojile trop svojega očeta.
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 Prišli pa so pastirji ter jih odgnali proč, toda Mojzes je vstal, jim pomagal in napojil njihov trop.
And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Ko so prišle k svojemu očetu Reguélu, je rekel: »Kako je to, da ste danes prišle tako zgodaj?«
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?'
19 Rekle so: »Egipčan nas je osvobodil iz roke pastirjev in nam prav tako zajel dovolj vode in napojil trop.«
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 Svojim hčeram je rekel: »In kje je? Zakaj je to, da ste človeka pustile? Pokličite ga, da bo lahko jedel kruh.«
And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.'
21 Mojzes je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva s človekom in ta je Mojzesu dal svojo hčer Cipóro.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Rodila mu je sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Geršóm, kajti rekel je: »Tujec sem bil v tuji deželi.«
And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.'
23 Pripetilo se je tekom časa, da je egiptovski kralj umrl, Izraelovi otroci pa so vzdihovali zaradi razloga suženjstva in vpili in njihovo vpitje je zaradi razloga suženjstva prišlo do Boga.
And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Bog je slišal njihovo stokanje in Bog se je spomnil svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Bog je pogledal na Izraelove otroke in Bog je imel do njih spoštovanje.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
