2 Mojzes 2
1 Odšel je mož iz Lévijeve hiše in za ženo vzel Lévijevo hčer.
Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a woman of Levi.
2 Ženska je spočela in rodila sina in ko je videla, da je bil čeden otrok, ga je skrivala tri mesece.
The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy boy, she hid him for 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.
But when she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. Then she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds in the water along the side of the river.
4 Njegova sestra pa je stala daleč stran, da izve kaj se bo z njim zgodilo.
His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen 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.
Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river while her attendants walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her attendant to get 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.«
When she opened it, she saw the child. Behold, the baby was crying. She had compassion on him and said, “This is certainly 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 the baby's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Should I go and find you a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for you?”
8 Faraonova hči ji je rekla: »Pojdi.« Deklica je odšla in poklicala otrokovo mater.
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the young girl went and got 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.
Pharaoh's daughter said to the baby's mother, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay you wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
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.«
When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and said, “Because I drew him from 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.
When Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and observed their hard work. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own people.
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.
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one there, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body 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?«
He went out the next day, and, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting. He said to the one who was in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your companion?”
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.«
But the man said, “Who made you a leader and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed that Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid and said, “What I did has certainly become known to others.”
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 about it, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. There 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. They came, 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.
The shepherds came and tried to drive them away, but Moses went and helped them. Then he watered their flock.
18 Ko so prišle k svojemu očetu Reguélu, je rekel: »Kako je to, da ste danes prišle tako zgodaj?«
When the girls went to Reuel their father, he said, “Why are you home so early today?”
19 Rekle so: »Egipčan nas je osvobodil iz roke pastirjev in nam prav tako zajel dovolj vode in napojil trop.«
They said, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even 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.«
He said to his daughters, “So where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him so he can eat a meal with us.”
21 Mojzes je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva s človekom in ta je Mojzesu dal svojo hčer Cipóro.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who also gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage.
22 Rodila mu je sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Geršóm, kajti rekel je: »Tujec sem bil v tuji deželi.«
She bore a son, and Moses called his name Gershom; he said, “I have been a resident in a foreign 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.
A long time later, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of the slave labor. They cried out for help, and their pleas went up to God because of their bondage.
24 Bog je slišal njihovo stokanje in Bog se je spomnil svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom.
When God heard their groaning, God called to mind his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Bog je pogledal na Izraelove otroke in Bog je imel do njih spoštovanje.
God saw the Israelites, and he understood their situation.
