Exodus 2
1 Ó sì ṣe, ọkùnrin ará ilé Lefi kan fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ará Lefi kan ni ìyàwó.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi.
2 Obìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Nígbà tí ó rí í pé ọmọ náà rẹwà, ó gbé ọmọ náà pamọ́ fún oṣù mẹ́ta.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí kò le è gbé e pamọ́ mọ́, ó fi ewé papirusi hun apẹ̀rẹ̀, ó sì fi ọ̀dà àti òjé igi sán apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà. Ó sì tẹ́ ọmọ náà sínú rẹ̀, ó sì gbe é sí inú eèsún ni etí odò Naili.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 Arábìnrin rẹ̀ dúró ni òkèèrè láti wo ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ náà.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin Farao sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí etí odò Naili láti wẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì ń rìn ni etí bèbè odò. Ó sì ri apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà ni àárín eèsún, ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin kan láti lọ gbé e wá,
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 ó ṣí i, ó sì rí ọmọ náà. Ọmọ náà ń sọkún, àánú ọmọ náà sì ṣe é. Ó wí pé, “Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Heberu ni èyí.”
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 Nígbà náà ni arábìnrin rẹ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọmọbìnrin Farao pé, “Ṣé kí èmi lọ wá ọ̀kan lára àwọn obìnrin Heberu wá fún ọ láti bá ọ tọ́jú ọmọ náà?”
Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni; lọ.” Arábìnrin náà sì lọ, ó sì pe ìyá ọmọ náà wá.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 Ọmọbìnrin Farao sì wí fún un pé, “Gba ọmọ yìí kí o sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ fún mi, èmi yóò san owó iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ fún ọ.” Ọmọbìnrin náà sì gbé ọmọ náà lọ, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 Nígbà tí ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó mú un tọ ọmọbìnrin Farao wá, ó sì di ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Mose, ó wí pé, “Nítorí tí mo fà á jáde nínú omi.”
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 Ní ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí Mose ti dàgbà, ó jáde lọ sí ibi ti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wà, ó ń wò wọ́n lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ líle wọn, ó ri ará Ejibiti tí ń lu ará Heberu, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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 Ó wo ìhín, ó wo ọ̀hún, nígbà tí kò rí ẹnìkankan, ni ó bá pa ará Ejibiti náà, ó sì bò ó mọ́ inú iyanrìn.
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 Ní ọjọ́ kejì, ó jáde lọ, ó rí àwọn ará Heberu méjì tí wọ́n ń jà. Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ èyí tí ó jẹ̀bi pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lu Heberu arákùnrin rẹ?”
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 smitest thou thy fellow?
14 Ọkùnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ta ni ó fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́ lórí wa? Ṣé ìwọ fẹ́ pa mí bí o ti pa ará Ejibiti?” Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀rù ba Mose, ó sì wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni ọ̀ràn yìí ti di mí mọ̀.”
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Nígbà ti Farao sì gbọ́ nípa èyí, ó wá ọ̀nà láti pa Mose, ṣùgbọ́n Mose sá kúrò ní àrọ́wọ́tó o Farao, ó lọ sí Midiani láti máa gbé, nígbà tí ó dé bẹ̀, ó jókòó ni ẹ̀bá a kànga kan.
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 Ó sì ṣe, àlùfáà Midiani kan ni àwọn ọmọbìnrin méje, wọn sì wá láti pọn omi kún ọpọ́n ìmumi fún ẹran ọ̀sìn baba wọn.
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 Àwọn darandaran kan wá, wọ́n sì lé wọn sẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n Mose dìde láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ àti láti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ láti fún ẹran wọn ní omi.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 Nígbà ti àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Reueli baba wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tètè dé ni òní?”
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] ye are come so soon to day?
19 Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Ará Ejibiti kan ni ó gbà wá sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran, ó tilẹ̀ ràn wá lọ́wọ́ láti fa omi àti láti fún agbo ẹran ní omi.”
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 Ó sọ fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, “Níbo ni ó wà? Èéṣe ti ẹ fi fi ọkùnrin náà sílẹ̀? Ẹ pè é wá jẹun.”
And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 Mose gbà láti dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí o fi Sippora, ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ fún Mose láti fi ṣe aya.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 Ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gerṣomu, ó wí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì.”
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 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ọba Ejibiti kú. Àwọn ará Israẹli ń kérora ní oko ẹrú wọn, wọ́n ń ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ nítorí oko ẹrú tí wọ́n wà, igbe wọ́n sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
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 Ọlọ́run gbọ́ igbe wọn, Ó sì rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Isaaki àti pẹ̀lú Jakọbu.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run bojú wo àwọn ará Israẹli, Ó sì wà láti gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto [them].
