2 Mojzes 2
1 Odšel je mož iz Lévijeve hiše in za ženo vzel Lévijevo hčer.
A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
2 Ženska je spočela in rodila sina in ko je videla, da je bil čeden otrok, ga je skrivala tri mesece.
The woman conceived and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine 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.
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
4 Njegova sestra pa je stala daleč stran, da izve kaj se bo z njim zgodilo.
His sister stood far off, to see 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.
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant 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.«
She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. 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 his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may 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.” The young woman 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.
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” 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.«
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him 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.
In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and saw their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
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, he killed 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?«
He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your 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.«
He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this 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 kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived 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. 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.
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?«
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned 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 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.«
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you 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.
Moses was content to dwell with the man. 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.«
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner 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.
In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 Bog je slišal njihovo stokanje in Bog se je spomnil svoje zaveze z Abrahamom, Izakom in Jakobom.
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.
God saw the children of Israel, and God understood.
