Exodo 2
1 Ngayon isang lalaki sa lipi ng mga Levi ang nakapag-asawa ng isang babaeng Levi.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
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 the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him 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 could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 Ang kaniyang kapatid na babae ay nakatayo sa may hindi kalayuan para tingnan kung anong mangyayari sa kaniya.
And his sister stood far off, to know what would be done to him.
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.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
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.”
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
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?”
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?
8 Sinabi ng anak na babae ni Paraon sa kaniya, “Pumunta ka”. Kaya nagpunta ang batang babae at kinuha ang ina ng sanggol.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's 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 Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.
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 the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of 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.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
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 he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew 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 when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smite you your fellow?
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.”
And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? intend you to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is 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.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by 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 the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Dumating ang mga pastol at sinubukang palayasin sila, pero lumapit si Moises at tinulungan sila. Pagkatapos pinainom niya ang kanilang mga kawan.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Nang pumunta ang mga babae kay Reuel na kanilang ama, sinabi niya, “Bakit maaga kayong nakauwi ngayong araw?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that all of you are come so soon to day?
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.”
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
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.”
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that all of you have left the man? call him, 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.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
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 bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
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.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 Nang marinig ng Diyos ang kanilang mga daing, inalala ng Diyos ang kaniyang tipan kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Nakita ng Diyos ang mga Israelita, at naunawaan niya ang kanilang kalagayan.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
