1 Markaasaa waxaa tegey nin reer Laawi ah, oo wuxuu guursaday gabadh reer Laawi iyana ah.
It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
2 Markaasay naagtii uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil; oo markay aragtay inuu ilmo wanaagsan yahay, ayay qarisay in saddex bilood ah.
She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and 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 couldn't hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 Walaashiisna waxay taagnayd meel ka fog, inay ogaato waxa isaga lagu samayn doono.
His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on 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.
Then Pharaoh's daughter arrived to bathe in the Nile. Her ladies-in-waiting were walking along the bank of the river. When she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it and bring it to her.
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 baby boy. He was crying and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew boys,” she said.
7 Markaasaa walaashiis waxay gabadhii Fircoon ku tidhi, Ma kuugu yeedhaa naagaha Cibraaniyadaha middood inay kuu nuujiso ilmaha?
His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, “Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?”
8 Gabadhii Fircoonna waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Haah, tag. Gabadhiina way tagtay oo waxay u yeedhay yarkii hooyadiis.
“Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
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.
“Take this baby boy and nurse him for me,” she told his mother. “I will pay you myself.” So his mother took him home 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 boy was older she took him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son. She called him Moses, because she said, “I pulled 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.
Later, when Moses had grown up, he went to visit his people, the Hebrews. He saw them doing hard labor. He also 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.
He looked all around to make sure no one was watching, and then he killed the Egyptian and buried 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 following day he went back and he saw two Hebrews fighting with each other. He said to the one at fault, “Why are you beating one of your own people?”
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.
“Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
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 found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. One day as he was sitting by a well,
16 Haddaba wadaadkii Midyaan wuxuu lahaa toddoba gabdhood. Intay ceelkii yimaadeen ayay dhaamiyeen oo berkedihii biyo ka buuxiyeen inay waraabiyaan idihii aabbahood.
and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
17 Markaasaa adhijirro yimaadeen oo ka eryeen, laakiinse Muuse intuu istaagay, ayuu caawiyey iyagii, oo idahoodii u waraabiyey.
Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued 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 they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly 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 some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”
20 Markaasuu wuxuu gabdhihiisii ku yidhi, Isagii meeyey? De maxaad ninkii uga soo kacdeen? U yeedha, kibis ha cunee.
“So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
21 Muusena raalli buu ka ahaa inuu ninkaas la joogo, oo isagu wuxuu Muuse siiyey gabadhiisii Siforaah.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
22 Oo waxay u dhashay wiil, markaasuu magiciisii wuxuu u bixiyey Gershoom, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Qariib baan ku ahaa dal qalaad.
She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
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.
Years later, the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still groaning under their hard labor. Their cries for help because of their hardship reached God.
24 Ilaahna waa maqlay cabaadkoodii, markaasaa Ilaah xusuustay axdigiisii uu la dhigtay Ibraahim, iyo Isxaaq, iyo Yacquub.
God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Markaasaa Ilaah arkay reer binu Israa'iil, Ilaahna wuu ogaaday xaalkoodii.
God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
