Exodo 2

1At isang lalake sa lipi ni Levi ay yumaon, at nagasawa sa isang anak na babae ng lipi ni Levi. 2At ang babae ay naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake: at nang kaniyang makita na maganda, ay kaniyang itinagong tatlong buwan. 3At nang hindi na niya maitatagong malaon ay ikinuha niya ng isang takbang yantok, at pinahiran niya ng betun at ng sahing; at kaniyang isinilid ang bata roon, at inilagay sa katalahiban sa tabi ng ilog. 4At tumayo sa malayo ang kaniyang kapatid na babae, upang maalaman ang mangyayari sa bata. 5At ang anak na babae ni Faraon ay lumusong upang maligo sa ilog; at nagsipaglakad ang kaniyang mga abay sa tabi ng ilog; at kaniyang nakita ang takba sa katalahiban, at ipinakuha sa kaniyang abay. 6At kaniyang binuksan, at nakita niya ang bata: at narito, ang sanggol ay umiyak. At kaniyang kinaawaan at sinabi, Ito'y isa sa mga anak ng mga Hebreo. 7Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang kapatid na babae sa anak ni Faraon, Yayaon ba ako at itatawag kita ng isang sisiwa sa mga babaing Hebrea, na makapagalaga sa iyo ng batang ito? 8At sinabi sa kaniya ng anak ni Faraon, Yumaon ka. At ang dalaga ay yumaon, at tinawag ang ina ng bata. 9At sinabi ng anak ni Faraon, sa kaniya, Dalhin mo ang batang ito, at alagaan mo sa akin, at bibigyan kita ng iyong kaupahan. At kinuha ng babae ang bata, at inalagaan. 10At ang bata ay lumaki, at kaniyang dinala sa anak ni Faraon, at siya'y kaniyang inaring anak. At kaniyang pinanganlang Moises, at sinabi, Sapagka't aking sinagip siya sa tubig. 11At nangyari nang mga araw na yaon, ng malaki na si Moises, na kaniyang nilabas ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at minasdan ang atang sa kanila: at kaniyang nakita ang isang Egipcio, na nananakit ng isang Hebreo, na isa sa kaniyang mga kapatid. 12At siya'y nagmasid sa magkabikabilang dako, at nang siya'y walang makitang tao, ay kaniyang pinatay ang Egipcio at kaniyang tinabunan sa buhanginan. 13At siya'y lumabas ng ikalawang araw, at, narito, na may dalawang lalaking Hebreo, na nagbababag: at kaniyang sinabi roon sa umaapi, Bakit mo sinasaktan ang iyong kasama? 14At sinabi niya, Sinong naglagay sa iyong pangulo at hukom sa amin? Iniisip mo bang patayin ako, na gaya ng pagpatay mo sa Egipcio? At natakot si Moises, at nagsabi, Tunay na ang bagay na yaon ay nahayag. 15Nang mabalitaan nga ni Faraon ang bagay na ito, ay minithi niyang patayin si Moises. Datapuwa't si Moises ay tumakas sa harapan ni Faraon, at tumahan sa lupain ng Madian: at siya'y umupo sa tabi ng isang balon. 16Ang saserdote nga sa Madian ay may pitong anak na babae: at sila'y naparoon at umigib ng tubig, at kanilang pinuno ang mga inuman upang painumin ang kawan ng kanilang ama. 17At ang mga pastor ay dumating, at sila'y pinalayas: datapuwa't si Moises ay tumayo, at sila'y tinulungan, at pinainom ang kanilang kawan. 18At nang sila'y dumating kay Raquel na kanilang ama, ay sinabi niya, Bakit kayo tumindig na madali ngayon? 19At kanilang sinabi, Ipinagsanggalang kami ng isang Egipcio sa kamay ng mga pastor, at saka iniigib pa niya kami ng tubig, at pinainom ang kawan. 20At kaniyang sinabi sa mga anak niya, At saan naroon siya? bakit ninyo iniwan ang lalaking yaon? tawagin ninyo siya upang makakain ng tinapay. 21At si Moises ay natuwa na makisuno sa lalaking yaon: at kaniyang pinapag-asawa kay Moises si Zephora na kaniyang anak. 22At nanganak ng isang lalake, at kaniyang pinanganlan ng Gersom; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y nakipamayan sa ibang bayan. 23At nangyari pagkaraan ng maraming araw na ang hari sa Egipto ay namatay; at ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagbuntong hininga dahil sa pagkaalipin, at sila'y dumaing at ang kanilang daing ay umabot sa Dios dahil sa pagkaalipin. 24At dininig ng Dios ang kanilang hibik, at naalaala ng Dios ang kaniyang tipan kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob, 25At nilingap ng Dios ang mga anak ni Israel, at sila'y kinilala ng Dios.

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.
