Exodo 2
1 Ngayon isang lalaki sa lipi ng mga Levi ang nakapag-asawa ng isang babaeng Levi.
After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.
2 Nabuntis ang babae at nagsilang ng isang anak na lalaki. Nang makita niya na malusog ang bata, itinago niya ito ng tatlong buwan.
And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.
3 Pero nang hindi na siya maitago nila, kumuha siya ng isang basket na papirus at sinelyohan ito ng aspalto at alkitran. Pagkatapos nilagay niya dito ang bata at inilagay ito sa mga tambo sa tubig sa tabi ng ilog.
And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.
4 Ang kaniyang kapatid na babae ay nakatayo sa may hindi kalayuan para tingnan kung anong mangyayari sa kaniya.
His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.
5 Ang anak na babae ni Paraon ay nagpunta sa ilog para maligo doon habang naglalakad ang kaniyang mga katulong sa tabing ilog. Nakita niya ang basket kasama ng mga tambo at pinapuntahan niya sa kaniyang katulong para kunin ito.
Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,
6 Nang buksan niya ito, nakita niya ang bata. Masdan ito, ang bata ay umiiyak. Siya ay nahabag sa kaniya at sinabing, “Ito ay tiyak na isa sa mga sanggol ng mga Hebreo.”
she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”
7 Pagkatapos sinabi ng kapatid na babae ng bata sa anak na babae ni Paraon, “Maaari ba akong pumunta at kumuha ng isang babaeng Hebreo para alagaan ang sanggol para sa iyo?”
And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”
8 Sinabi ng anak na babae ni Paraon sa kaniya, “Pumunta ka”. Kaya nagpunta ang batang babae at kinuha ang ina ng sanggol.
She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.
9 Sinabi ng anak na babae ni Paraon sa ina ng bata, “Kunin mo ang sanggol na ito at alagaan mo siya para sa akin, at bibigyan kita ng mga kabayaran.” Kaya kinuha ng babae ang sanggol at inalagaan siya.
And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.
10 Nang lumaki na ang sanggol, siya ay dinala niya sa anak na babae ni Paraon, at siya ay naging lalaking anak niya. Pinangalanan niya siyang Moises at sinabing, “Dahil inahon kita mula sa tubig”
And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from the water.”
11 Nang lumaki na si Moises, pumunta siya sa kaniyang bayan at inobserbahan ang kanilang mahirap na gawain. Nakita niya ang isang taga-Ehipto na sinasaktan ang isang Hebreo, isa sa kaniyang sariling bayan.
In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.
12 Lumingon siya sa magkabilang banda, at nang makita niya na walang tao doon, pinatay niya ang taga-Ehipto at tinago ang kaniyang katawan sa buhangin.
And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Lumabas siya nang sumunod na araw, at, nakita ang dalawang Hebreo na nag-aaway. Sinabi niya sa isang may sala, “Bakit mo sinasaktan ang iyong kasamahan?”
And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
14 Pero sinabi ng lalaki “Sino ang gumawa sa iyong pinuno at hatulan kami? Pinaplano mo ba akong patayin gaya ng iyong pagpatay sa taga-Ehipto?” Pagkatapos natakot si Moises at sinabing, “Anuman ang ginawa ko ay tiyak na nalaman ng iba.”
But he responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become known?”
15 Ngayon nang marinig ni Paraon ang tungkol dito, sinubukan niyang patayin si Moises. Pero tumakas si Moises mula kay Paraon at nanatili sa lupain ng Midian. Umupo siya doon sa tabi ng isang balon.
And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
16 Ngayon ang pari ng Midian ay mayroong pitong anak na babae. Dumating sila, umigib ng tubig, at pinuno ang mga labangan para painumin ang kawan ng kanilang ama.
Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.
17 Dumating ang mga pastol at sinubukang palayasin sila, pero lumapit si Moises at tinulungan sila. Pagkatapos pinainom niya ang kanilang mga kawan.
The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18 Nang pumunta ang mga babae kay Reuel na kanilang ama, sinabi niya, “Bakit maaga kayong nakauwi ngayong araw?”
And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”
19 Sinabi nila, “Tinulungan kami ng isang taga-Ehipto mula sa mga pastol. Ipinag-igib pa nga niya kami ng tubig at pinainom ang mga kawan.”
They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”
20 Sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga anak na babae, “Kaya nasaan siya? Bakit ninyo iniwan ang lalaki? Tawagin ninyo siya para makasabay natin siyang kumain.”
But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
21 Sumang-ayon si Moises na manatili siya kasama ang lalaki, na binigay rin ang kaniyang anak na babae na si Zipora para mapangasawa.
Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
22 Siya ay nagsilang ng anak na lalaki, at pinangalanan siya ni Moises na Gersom; sinabi niya, “Ako ay naging isang mamamayan sa isang dayuhang lupain.”
And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”
23 Lumipas ang isang mahabang panahon, ang hari ng Ehipto ay namatay. Ang mga Israelita ay dumaing dahil sa kanilang pagkaalipin. Sila ay humingi ng tulong, at ang kanilang daing ay nakarating sa Diyos dahil sa kanilang pagkaalipin.
In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
24 Nang marinig ng Diyos ang kanilang mga daing, inalala ng Diyos ang kaniyang tipan kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob.
And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Nakita ng Diyos ang mga Israelita, at naunawaan niya ang kanilang kalagayan.
And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
