1After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.
1To nathuem ah Levi kami maeto mah, Levi canu to zu ah lak.
2And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.
2A zu loe zokpom moe, caa nongpa maeto sak; a khet naah nawkta loe kranghoih parai; to pongah anih to khrah thumto thung a hawk.
3And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river’s brink,
3Toe hawk thai laek ai naah loe, sakrung kung hoiah sak ih thingkhong maeto a lak moe, tuipan hoi thing tangpri hoiah a bet caeng, nawkta to thingkhong thungah suek moe, vapui taengah a bangh.
4His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
4Anih ih tanuh mah kawbang maw oh, tiah panoek hanah, ahmuen kangthla hoiah khet.
5And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,
5Faro canu loe tui amthluk hanah vapui ah caeh tathuk; to naah a tamna nongpatanawk loe tui taengah amkaeh o; anih mah tui taeng ih thingkhong to hnuk naah, a tamna nongpata maeto khaeah laksak.
6She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.
6Anih mah thingkhong to paongh naah, nawkta to a hnuk; kaqah nawkta to a hnuk naah, tahmen moe, Hae loe Hebru nawkta bae hae, tiah a thuih.
7And the child’s sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?
7To naah anih ih tanuh mah Faro canu khaeah, Nang han nawkta khenzawnkung Hebru nongpatanawk to kang kawk pae han maw? tiah a naa.
8She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.
8Anih mah, Caeh ah loe, kawk ah, tiah a naa. Tamna nongpata loe caeh moe, nawkta ih amno to kawk.
9And Pharao’s daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter.
9Faro canu mah anih khaeah, Hae nawkta hae la ah loe, kai hanah com ah, atho kang paek han hmang, tiah a naa. To pongah nongpata mah nawkta to lak moe, khetzawn pae.
10And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.
10Nawkta qoeng tahang naah loe, Faro canu khaeah caeh haih moe, anih ih capa ah angcoeng. Nongpata mah tui thung hoiah ka khuih, tiah a thuih pongah, anih to Mosi, tiah ahmin phui.
11In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.
11Mosi qoeng tahang naah loe, angmah ih acaeng nawkamyanawk toksakhaih ahmuen ah caeh; to nathuem ah nihcae loe karai parai tok a sak o, tiah Mosi mah hnuk; to naah Izip kami maeto mah anih ih nawkamya Hebru kami to boh.
12And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
12Ahnuk ahmaa a khet naah, mi doeh hnu ai pongah, Izip kami to a hum moe, savuet thungah aphum.
13And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?
13Khawnbang ni hnetto naah a caeh let, to naah kangpanh Hebru kami hnik to a hnuk let bae; anih mah hmuen sah pazae kami khaeah, Tipongah nam pui Hebru kami to na boh loe? tiah a naa.
14But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known?
14To kami mah, Mi mah maw nang hae kaihnik ukkung hoi lokcaekkung ah suek? Izip kami na hum baktih toengah, kai doeh hum han nang patoem maw? tiah a naa. Mosi mah to lok to thaih naah tasoeh moe, Ka sak ih hmuen angphong tih boeh, tiah poek.
15And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.
15Faro mah to kawng to thaih naah Mosi to hum hanah pakrong. Toe Mosi loe Faro hmaa hoiah cawnh moe, Midian prae ah khosak; to ah tui khaw taengah anghnut.
16And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father’s flocks.
16Midian prae ih qaima loe canu sarihto tawnh; anih ih canunawk loe tuidok hanah tui khaw ah caeh o moe, ampa ih tuunawk to tui a paek o.
17And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.
17To naah tuu toep kaminawk to angzoh o moe, tuunawk to huih pae o ving; toe Mosi mah angdoet moe, nongpatanawk to angsak haih pacoengah, tuunawk to tui a naeksak.
18And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
18Tanglanawk loe ampa, Reuel khaeah amlaem o let, to naah ampa mah tikhoe vaihni loe nam laem o palang takan loe? tiah a naa.
19They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
19To naah nihcae mah, Izip kami maeto mah tuu toep kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah ang pahlong pongah kam laem o palang, anih mah ni tui dok moe, tuunawk doeh tui a paek, tiah a naa o.
20But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
20To naah anih mah a canunawk khaeah, Anih loe naa ah maw oh? Tikhoe na caeh o taak sut loe? Buhcaak han kawk o khae, tiah a naa.
21And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
21Mosi loe to kami ih im ah oh han koeh pongah, ampa mah a canu Zipporah to Mosi hanah zu ah paek.
22And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
22Zipporah mah anih han caa nongpa maeto sak pae, Minawk prae ah angvin ah ka oh, tiah a thuih pongah, Gershom, tiah ahmin phui.
23Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.
23To tiah atue kasawk ah oh na thungah, Izip siangpahrang to duek; Israel kaminawk loe misong ah ohhaih to anghmawt o sut boeh pongah, a qah o; misong ah kaom kaminawk qahhaih lok to Sithaw mah thaih pae.
24And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
24Nihcae hanghaih lok Sithaw mah thaih naah, Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih to a poek let.
25And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
25To pongah Sithaw mah Israel kaminawk to khet tathuk moe, nihcae han kho poek pae.
