< Baxniintii 2 >
1 Markaasaa waxaa tegey nin reer Laawi ah, oo wuxuu guursaday gabadh reer Laawi iyana ah.
Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
2 Markaasay naagtii uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil; oo markay aragtay inuu ilmo wanaagsan yahay, ayay qarisay in saddex bilood ah.
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 Oo markay in dambe qarin kari weyday, ayay waxay soo qaadday abxad caws duur ah, oo intay dhoobo iyo daamur ku malaastay ayay wiilkii ku ridday, oo waxay dhex gelisay duur webiga qarkiisa ka baxay.
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 Walaashiisna waxay taagnayd meel ka fog, inay ogaato waxa isaga lagu samayn doono.
And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
5 Markaasaa gabadhii Fircoon webiga timid inay ku maydhato. Gabdhihii addoommada u ahaana waxay socdeen webigii dhinaciisa. Markaasay iyadu waxay aragtay abxadda duurka ku dhex jirta, oo waxay u diratay gabadhii addoonta u ahayd inay u keento.
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 Markaasay furtay, oo waxay aragtay wiilkii; oo bal eeg, yarkii waa ooyay. Kolkaasay u naxariisatay, oo waxay tidhi, Kanu waa carruurtii Cibraaniyada midkood.
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 Markaasaa walaashiis waxay gabadhii Fircoon ku tidhi, Ma kuugu yeedhaa naagaha Cibraaniyadaha middood inay kuu nuujiso ilmaha?
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 Gabadhii Fircoonna waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Haah, tag. Gabadhiina way tagtay oo waxay u yeedhay yarkii hooyadiis.
“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.
9 Markaasaa gabadhii Fircoon waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Tag, oo ilmahan qaad oo ii nuuji, oo anna waxaan ku siin doonaa mushahaaradaada. Markaasay naagtii yarkii qaadday oo nuujisay.
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 Yarkiina waa koray, markaasay u keentay gabadhii Fircoon, oo wuxuu noqday wiilkeedii. Oo waxay magiciisii u bixisay Muuse, oo waxay tidhi, Maxaa yeelay, anaa biyihii ka soo bixiyey.
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 Oo waayahaas, markii Muuse weynaaday, waxay noqotay inuu walaalihiis u soo baxay, oo uu fiiriyey culaabta saaran. Markaasuu wuxuu arkay mid Masri ah oo dilaya mid Cibraani ah oo walaalihiis ka mid ah.
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 Markaasuu iska fiiriyey xagga iyo xagga, oo markuu arkay inaan ciduna joogin ayuu Masrigii kaw kaga siiyey, oo ciidda ku qariyey.
After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
13 Markaasuu haddana maalintii labaad soo baxay, oo wuxuu arkay laba nin oo Cibraaniyo ah oo isla diriraya; oo kii gardarnaa buu wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad u dilaysaa wadaygaa?
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 Markaasuu wuxuu yidhi, Bal yaa amiir iyo xaakin nooga kaa dhigay? Ma waxaad doonaysaa inaad ii disho sidaad u dishay Masriga? Markaasaa Muuse cabsaday, oo wuxuu isyidhi, Hubaal wixii waa la ogaaday.
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 Haddaba markii Fircoon waxaas maqlay, ayuu wuxuu doondoonay inuu Muuse nafta ka qaado. Laakiinse Muuse waa ka cararay Fircoon hortiisii, oo wuxuu degay dalka Midyaan, oo ceel buu ag fadhiistay.
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 Haddaba wadaadkii Midyaan wuxuu lahaa toddoba gabdhood. Intay ceelkii yimaadeen ayay dhaamiyeen oo berkedihii biyo ka buuxiyeen inay waraabiyaan idihii aabbahood.
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 Markaasaa adhijirro yimaadeen oo ka eryeen, laakiinse Muuse intuu istaagay, ayuu caawiyey iyagii, oo idahoodii u waraabiyey.
And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.
18 Oo markay u yimaadeen Recuu'eel oo aabbahood ah ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa sidee, maanta waad soo dhaqsateene?
When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
19 Markaasay waxay yidhaahdeen, Midkoo Masri ah ayaa naga samatabbixiyey gacantii adhijirrada, oo weliba biyuu noo dhaamiyey oo idaha isagaa noo waraabiyey.
“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 Markaasuu wuxuu gabdhihiisii ku yidhi, Isagii meeyey? De maxaad ninkii uga soo kacdeen? U yeedha, kibis ha cunee.
“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”
21 Muusena raalli buu ka ahaa inuu ninkaas la joogo, oo isagu wuxuu Muuse siiyey gabadhiisii Siforaah.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
22 Oo waxay u dhashay wiil, markaasuu magiciisii wuxuu u bixiyey Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad.
And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”
23 Oo waxay noqotay in waayahaas badan dabadeed uu boqorkii Masar iska dhintay, reer binu Israa'iilna addoonnimada aawadeed ayay ula taaheen, oo way ooyeen, oo oohintoodiina waxay gaadhay Ilaah addoonnimada aawadeed.
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 Ilaahna waa maqlay cabaadkoodii, markaasaa Ilaah xusuustay axdigiisii uu la dhigtay Ibraahim, iyo Isxaaq, iyo Yacquub.
So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Markaasaa Ilaah arkay reer binu Israa'iil, Ilaahna wuu ogaaday xaalkoodii.
God saw the Israelites and took notice.
