1 Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tangata ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ʻo na mali mo ha ʻofefine ʻo Livai.
有一個利未家的人娶了一個利未女子為妻。
2 Pea naʻe feitama ʻae fefine, ʻo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono fakaʻofoʻofa, naʻa ne fufū ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu.
那女人懷孕,生一個兒子,見他俊美,就藏了他三個月,
3 Pea ʻi he ʻikai te ne kei faʻa fufū ia, naʻa ne ngaohi ha vaka louʻakau, ʻo ne pani ia ʻaki ʻae kelepulu, mo e pulu, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tamasiʻi ki loto; pea ne tuku ia ʻi he potu ʻakau ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
後來不能再藏,就取了一個蒲草箱,抹上石漆和石油,將孩子放在裏頭,把箱子擱在河邊的蘆荻中。
4 Pea naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu hono tuofefine, ke vakai pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate ia.
孩子的姊姊遠遠站着,要知道他究竟怎麼樣。
5 Mo ʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo ki he vaitafe ke pālutu; pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva hono kau fefine ʻi he veʻe vaitafe; pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he vaka ʻi he potu ʻakau, naʻa ne fekau ʻene fefine fekau ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia.
法老的女兒來到河邊洗澡,她的使女們在河邊行走。她看見箱子在蘆荻中,就打發一個婢女拿來。
6 Pea ʻi heʻene toʻo hono tāpuni, pea mamata ia ki he tamasiʻi, pea vakai, naʻe tangi ʻae tamasiʻi. Pea ʻofa leva ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e tamasiʻi eni ʻae kau Hepelū.”
她打開箱子,看見那孩子。孩子哭了,她就可憐他,說:「這是希伯來人的一個孩子。」
7 Pea pehē leva ʻe hono tuofefine ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, “ʻE lelei kiate koe ʻeku ʻalu ʻo ui ha fefine toutama mei he kau Hepelū, koeʻuhi ke ne tauhi ʻae tamasiʻi maʻau?
孩子的姊姊對法老的女兒說:「我去在希伯來婦人中叫一個奶媽來,為你奶這孩子,可以不可以?」
8 Pea talaange ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Felo kiate ia, “ʻAlu.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae taʻahine ʻo ne ui ʻae faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi.
法老的女兒說:「可以。」童女就去叫了孩子的母親來。
9 Pea pehēange ʻe he ʻofefine ʻo Felo kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae tamasiʻi ni ʻo ʻave, mo ke tauhi ia maʻaku, pea te u totongi koe. Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he fefine ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne tauhi ki ai.
法老的女兒對她說:「你把這孩子抱去,為我奶他,我必給你工價。」婦人就抱了孩子去奶他。
10 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, pea hoko ia ko ʻene tama. Pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Mōsese: He naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻohake ia mei he vai.”
孩子漸長,婦人把他帶到法老的女兒那裏,就作了她的兒子。她給孩子起名叫摩西,意思說:「因我把他從水裏拉出來。」
11 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia kuo tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia kituaʻā ki hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo ne mamata ki heʻenau ngaahi kavenga: pea naʻa ne sio ki he tangata ʻIsipite ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻae Hepelū, ko e tokotaha ʻi hono kāinga.
後來,摩西長大,他出去到他弟兄那裏,看他們的重擔,見一個埃及人打希伯來人的一個弟兄。
12 Pea fekilokilofaki ia, pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite, ʻo ne fufū ia ʻi he ʻoneʻone.
他左右觀看,見沒有人,就把埃及人打死了,藏在沙土裏。
13 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, vakai, naʻe fekeeʻi ʻae ongo tangata Hepelū: pea lea ia kiate ia naʻe fai kovi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke taaʻi ai ho kāinga?”
第二天他出去,見有兩個希伯來人爭鬥,就對那欺負人的說:「你為甚麼打你同族的人呢?」
14 Pea pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko hai naʻa ne ngaohi koe ko e ʻeiki mo e fakamaau kiate kimautolu? ʻOku ke fie tāmateʻi au, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻae tangata ʻIsipite?” Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē, “Ta kuo ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni.”
那人說:「誰立你作我們的首領和審判官呢?難道你要殺我,像殺那埃及人嗎?」摩西便懼怕,說:「這事必是被人知道了。」
15 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Felo ki he meʻa ni, naʻe holi ia ke tāmateʻi ʻa Mōsese. Ka naʻe hola ʻa Mōsese mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua ko Mitiane, pea nofo ia ki lalo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli.
法老聽見這事,就想殺摩西,但摩西躲避法老,逃往米甸地居住。
16 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Mitiane naʻe toko fitu hono ʻofefine: pea naʻa nau haʻu ke utu ʻae vai, ʻo fakapito ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ke fakainu ʻae fanga manu ʻa ʻenau tamai.
一日,他在井旁坐下。米甸的祭司有七個女兒;她們來打水,打滿了槽,要飲父親的群羊。
17 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata tauhi sipi ʻo tekeʻi atu ʻakinautolu: ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tokoni ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻenau fanga manu.
有牧羊的人來,把她們趕走了,摩西卻起來幫助她們,又飲了她們的群羊。
18 Pea ʻi heʻenau aʻu atu kia Liueli ko e nau tamai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu vave ai he ʻaho ni?”
她們來到父親流珥那裏;他說:「今日你們為何來得這麼快呢?」
19 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻIsipite naʻa ne fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau tauhi sipi, ʻo ne utu foki [ʻae vai ]lahi kiate kimautolu, ʻo ne fakainu ʻae fanga manu.”
她們說:「有一個埃及人救我們脫離牧羊人的手,並且為我們打水飲了群羊。」
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi ʻofefine, “Pea kuo ʻi fē ia? Ko e hā kuo mou tuku ai pe ʻae tangata? Ui ia, ke haʻu ʻo kai mā.”
他對女兒們說:「那個人在哪裏?你們為甚麼撇下他呢?你們去請他來吃飯。」
21 Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻa Mōsese ke nofo mo e tangata: pea naʻa ne foaki hono ʻofefine ko Sipola kia Mōsese.
摩西甘心和那人同住;那人把他的女兒西坡拉給摩西為妻。
22 Pea ne fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae tama, pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Kesomi; he naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e muli au ʻi he fonua foʻou.”
西坡拉生了一個兒子,摩西給他起名叫革舜,意思說:「因我在外邦作了寄居的。」
23 Pea kuo fuoloa ange naʻe hoko ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite: pea naʻe toʻe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi honau fakapōpulaʻi, pea naʻa nau tangi, pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻenau tangi ki he ʻOtua ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapōpulaʻi.
過了多年,埃及王死了。以色列人因做苦工,就歎息哀求,他們的哀聲達於上帝。
24 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻenau ngaahi toʻe, pea manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻene fuakava kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.
上帝聽見他們的哀聲,就記念他與亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的約。
25 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tokanga ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
上帝看顧以色列人,也知道他們的苦情。
