출애굽기 2

1레위 족속 중 한 사람이 가서 레위 여자에게 장가 들었더니 2그 여자가 잉태하여 아들을 낳아 그 준수함을 보고 그를 석달을 숨겼더니 3더 숨길 수 없이 되매 그를 위하여 갈 상자를 가져다가 역청과 나무 진을 칠하고 아이를 거기 담아 하숫가 갈대 사이에 두고 4그 누이가 어떻게 되는 것을 알려고 멀리 섰더니 5바로의 딸이 목욕하러 하수로 내려오고 시녀들은 하숫가에 거닐 때에 그가 갈대 사이에 상자를 보고 시녀를 보내어 가져다가 6열고 그 아이를 보니 아이가 우는지라 그가 불쌍히 여겨 가로되 이는 히브리 사람의 아이로다 7그 누이가 바로의 딸에게 이르되 내가 가서 히브리 여인 중에서 유모를 불러다가 당신을 위하여 이 아이를 젖 먹이게 하리이까 8바로의 딸이 그에게 이르되 가라 그 소녀가 가서 아이의 어미를 불러오니 9바로의 딸이 그에게 이르되 이 아이를 데려다가 나를 위하여 젖을 먹이라 내가 그 삯을 주리라 여인이 아이를 데려다가 젖을 먹이더니 10그 아이가 자라매 바로의 딸에게로 데려가니 그의 아들이 되니라 그가 그 이름을 모세라 하여 가로되 이는 내가 그를 물에서 건져내었음이라 하였더라 11모세가 장성한 후에 한번은 자기 형제들에게 나가서 그 고역함을 보더니 어떤 애굽 사람이 어떤 히브리 사람 곧 자기 형제를 치는 것을 본지라 12좌우로 살펴 사람이 없음을 보고 그 애굽 사람을 쳐죽여 모래에 감추니라 13이튿날 다시 나가니 두 히브리 사람이 서로 싸우는지라 그 그른 자에게 이르되 네가 어찌하여 동포를 치느냐 하매 14그가 가로되 누가 너로 우리의 주재와 법관을 삼았느냐 네가 애굽 사람을 죽임 같이 나도 죽이려느냐 모세가 두려워하여 가로되 일이 탄로되었도다 15바로가 이 일을 듣고 모세를 죽이고자 하여 찾은지라 모세가 바로의 낯을 피하여 미디안 땅에 머물며 하루는 우물 곁에 앉았더라 16미디안 제사장에게 일곱 딸이 있더니 그들이 와서 물을 길어 구유에 채우고 그 아비의 양무리에게 먹이려 하는데 17목자들이 와서 그들을 쫓는지라 모세가 일어나 그들을 도와 그 양무리에게 먹이니라 18그들이 그 아비 르우엘에게 이를 때에 아비가 가로되 너희가 오늘은 어찌하여 이같이 속히 돌아오느냐 19그들이 가로되 한 애굽 사람이 우리를 목자들의 손에서 건져내고 우리를 위하여 물을 길어 양무리에게 먹였나이다 20아비가 딸들에게 이르되 그 사람이 어디 있느냐 너희가 어찌하여 그 사람을 버리고 왔느냐 그를 청하여 음식으로 대접하라 하였더라 21모세가 그와 동거하기를 기뻐하매 그가 그 딸 십보라를 모세에게 주었더니 22그가 아들을 낳으매 모세가 그 이름을 게르솜이라 하여 가로되 내가 타국에서 객이 되었음이라 하였더라 23여러 해 후에 애굽 왕은 죽었고 이스라엘 자손은 고역으로 인하여 탄식하며 부르짖으니 그 고역으로 인하여 부르짖는 소리가 하나님께 상달한지라 24하나님이 그 고통 소리를 들으시고 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱에게 세운 그 언약을 기억하사 25이스라엘 자손을 권념하셨더라

1A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife. 2The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him. 5Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it. 6She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?” 8Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother. 9Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it. 10The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.” 11In those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 12He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?” 14He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.” 15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. 16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. 17The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?” 19They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.” 20He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.” 21Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter. 22She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.” 23In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. 24God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

1En een man van het huis van Levi ging, en nam een dochter van Levi. 2En de vrouw werd zwanger, en baarde een zoon. Toen zij hem zag, dat hij schoon was, zo verborg zij hem drie maanden. 3Doch als zij hem niet langer verbergen kon, zo nam zij voor hem een kistje van biezen, en belijmde het met lijm en met pek; en zij legde het knechtje daarin, en legde het in de biezen, aan den oever der rivier. 4En zijn zuster stelde zich van verre, om te weten, wat hem gedaan zou worden. 5En de dochter van Farao ging af, om zich te wassen in de rivier; en haar jonkvrouwen wandelden aan den kant der rivier; toen zij het kistje in het midden van de biezen zag, zo zond zij haar dienstmaagd heen, en liet het halen. 6Toen zij het open deed, zo zag zij dat knechtje; en ziet, het jongsken weende; en zij werd met barmhartigheid bewogen over hetzelve, en zij zeide: Dit is een van de knechtjes der Hebreen! 7Toen zeide zijn zuster tot Farao's dochter: Zal ik heengaan, en u een voedstervrouw uit de Hebreinnen roepen, die dat knechtje voor u zoge? 8En de dochter van Farao zeide tot haar: Ga heen. En de jonge maagd ging, en riep des knechtjes moeder. 9Toen zeide Farao's dochter tot haar: Neem dit knechtje heen, en zoog het mij; ik zal u uw loon geven. En de vrouw nam het knechtje en zoogde het. 10En toen het knechtje groot geworden was, zo bracht zij het tot Farao's dochter, en het werd haar ten zoon; en zij noemde zijn naam Mozes, en zeide: Want ik heb hem uit het water getogen. 11En het geschiedde in die dagen, toen Mozes groot geworden was, dat hij uitging tot zijn broederen, en bezag hun lasten; en hij zag, dat een Egyptisch man een Hebreeuwsen man uit zijn broederen sloeg. 12En hij zag herwaarts en gindswaarts; en toen hij zag, dat er niemand was, zo versloeg hij den Egyptenaar, en verborg hem in het zand. 13Des anderen daags ging hij wederom uit, en ziet, twee Hebreeuwse mannen twistten; en hij zeide tot den ongerechte: Waarom slaat gij uw naaste? 14Hij dan zeide: Wie heeft u tot een overste en rechter over ons gezet? Zegt gij dit, om mij te doden, gelijk gij den Egyptenaar gedood hebt? Toen vreesde Mozes, en zeide: Voorwaar, deze zaak is bekend geworden! 15Als nu Farao deze zaak hoorde, zo zocht hij Mozes te doden; doch Mozes vlood voor Farao's aangezicht, en woonde in het land Midian, en hij zat bij een waterput. 16En de priester in Midian had zeven dochters, die kwamen om te putten, en vulden de drinkbakken, om de kudde haars vaders te drenken. 17Toen kwamen de herders, en zij dreven haar van daar; doch Mozes stond op, en verloste ze, en drenkte haar kudden. 18En toen zij tot haar vader Rehuel kwamen, zo sprak hij: Waarom zijt gij heden zo haast wedergekomen? 19Toen zeiden zij: Een Egyptisch man heeft ons verlost uit de hand der herderen; en hij heeft ook overvloedig voor ons geput, en de kudde gedrenkt. 20En hij zeide tot zijn dochters: Waar is hij toch, waarom liet gij den man nu gaan? roept hem, dat hij brood ete. 21En Mozes bewilligde bij den man te wonen; en hij gaf Mozes zijn dochter Zippora; 22Die baarde een zoon; en hij noemde zijn naam Gersom; want hij zeide: Ik ben een vreemdeling geworden in een vreemd land. 23En het geschiedde na vele dezer dagen, als de koning van Egypte gestorven was, dat de kinderen Israels zuchtten en schreeuwden over den dienst; en hun gekrijt over hun dienst kwam op tot God. 24En God hoorde hun gekerm, en God gedacht aan Zijn verbond met Abraham, met Izak, en met Jakob. 25En God zag de kinderen Israels aan, en God kende hen.
