1Ana knafina mago Livae nagapinti ne'mo'a, mago ara Livae nagapinti erigeno,Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2amu'ene huno ne' mofavre ksenteno, keana hiranto mofavre fore'ma higeno, 3'a ikamofo agu'afi frakino antegeno mani'ne.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3Hianagi ana mofavre'mo ra huno 3'a ikama higeno mago'ane frakintega'ma nosuno'a, ekaeka ku tro huno, kolta fukinuti renkanireteno, ana mofavrea ana ekaekapi anteteno erino Naeli tinkenafi me'nea uha trazampi ome frakino ante'ne.But when she could no longer hide him, she got him a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in the basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.

4Ana mofavremofo nesaro'a agrite'ma fore haniaza kenaku ogantu'a mani'ne.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5Fero mofa'mo ti frenaku, eri'za mofa'nene Naeli tinte erami'za, ana tinkenare nevu'za ekaekara uha trazampi me'negeno negeno, eri'za mofa'a huntegeno omerino eme ami'ne.Soon the daughter of Pharaoh went down to bathe in the Nile, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. And when she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maidservant to retrieve it.

6Ana mofa'mo'ma ekaekama erinagino keana, ana mofavremo'a zavitegeno, asuntagi nenteno anage hu'ne, Ama Hibru vahe'mokizmi mofavre.When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrew children.”

7Anante ana mofavremofo nesaro'a, Fero mofara antahigeno, Knare vu'na mago Hibru ara ome avre'na anenkeno mofavrea kegava krigantegahifi?Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8Higeno Fero mofa'mo'a anage huno hu'ne, Vunka kema hanaza hunka ome avrenka eno huno huntegeno, ana mofa'mo'a vuno ana mofavremofo nerera ome avreno e'ne.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9Fero mofa'mo'a amanage huno ana ara asmi'ne, Ama mofavrea avrenka ome kegava krinante'nege'na, miza segantaneno, higeno ana mofavrea avreno kegava krinte'ne.Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse him for me, and I will pay your wages.” So the woman took the boy and nursed him.

10Ana mofavre'mo'ma rama higeno avreno Fero mofate vigeno, Fero mofa'mofo zage mofavre'aza higeno, timpinti avre fegu'a atre'noe nehuno Mosese'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.When the child had grown older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses and explained, “I drew him out of the water.”

11Hagi ana knafina Mosese'ma nena huteno, mago zupa vahe'amo'zama tusiza hu'za kazokzo eri'zama enerizarega nevuno keana, mago Hibru nera, Isipi ne'mo nehegeno ome negeno,One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

12omege emegema hiana mago vahera omani'negeno keteno, ana Isipi nera ahe frino ksepampi asente'ne.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13Anante knazupa Mosese'a nevuno keana tare Hibru ne'tremoke zanagra zanagra ha' nehakeno ome neznageno, hazenkema agafama hu'nea nera antahigeno, Na'a higenka negafuna nehane?The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14Hianagi ana ne'mo'a ke'nona'a huno, Iza kvati'a maninenka refko hurantegahane huno kazeriotine? Kagra Isipi ne'ma ahe fri'nanaza hunka nahe frinaku nehano? Higeno Mosese'a koro nehuno antahintahima hiana, vahe'ma ahe fri'noa zana hago e'ama hige'za antahi'naze hu'ne.But the man replied, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “This thing I have done has surely become known.”

15Fero'ma ana kema nentahino, Mosesena ahe frinaku hianagi, Mosese'a atreno freno Midiani kumatega umaninaku vu'ne. Vuno mago tinkerire umani'nege'za,When Pharaoh heard about this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, where he sat down beside a well.

16mago Midiani pristi ne'mo'a 7ni'a mofa'ne zmante'neanki'za, nezmafa sipisipine meme afu'tmimo'zama tima nesnagu tinkerire neazageno,Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17ruga'a sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'za eme zmahenati trazageno, Mosese'a otino ana mofa'nea ome zamaza huno nezmafa sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamina ana tina afi zamige'za netageno,And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18ana mofa'nemo'za nezmafa Ruelinte (Jetro) uhanatizageno anage huno zmantahigene, nahigeta menina hantaka huta aze? hige'za,When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19ruga'a sipisipi kva vahe'mo'zama tahemanenatiza vahera, mago Isipi ne'mo taza huno zmahenenatino, sipisipiti'anena taza huno tina afizmi'ne.“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20Anante Rueli'a (Jetro) zmantahigeno, ina ana nera mani'ne? Nahigeta atreta e'naze? Ome kehinkeno kave emeneno, hige'za ome avre'za azageno,“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21Mosese'a zmagranema manisigu mago arimpa higeno Rueli'a (Jetro) mago mofa'a, Zipora amigeno a' eri'ne.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22Zipora'a amu'ene huno ne' mofavre ksentegeno, Mosese'a rurega ne'mo'na kraga emani'nogu agi'a Gesomu'e hu'na ante'mue.And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23Za'za kna evutegeno Isipi kini nera fri'ne. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za tusi'a knazama eri'za kazokzo eri'za eneri'za, Anumzamofontega zavi krafa hu'naze. Ana zavi krafa zimimo'a Anumzamofo avure marerigeno,After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned and cried out under their burden of slavery, and their cry for deliverance from bondage ascended to God.

24Anumzamo'a ana zavi krafazamia antahinezamino, Abrahane, Aisakine, Jekopunema huvempa huno huhagerafi'nea kegu agesa antahi'ne.So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera nezmageno, knazampima mani'nazazana keno antahino hu'ne.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
