1Ke pacl se inge sie mukul ke sruf lal Levi el payukyak sin sie mutan in sruf sacna,Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2ac mutan sac el oswela tulik mukul se. Ke el liye lah tulik na wowo se, el okanulla malem tolu.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3Na ke el tia ku in sifil okanulla, el orala fotoh se ke ah, na el itangla ke mwe fulful in tia wohn. El filiya tulik sac loac ac usla filiya inmasrlon ah sisken infacl uh.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.

4Tulik mutan se wien tulik sac el tu loes kutu lukel in liye lah mea ac sikyak nu sel.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5Na acn se natul tokosra tufoki in yihyih ke infacl soko ah, ac mutan kulansap lal tuelik sisken infacl ah. Na el liyauk fotoh sac inmasrlon ac ah, ac el sap sie mutan kulansap lal in som use.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.

6Fisrak sac ikasla ac liyauk tulik mukul srisrik se. Tulik sac tung, na el pakomutal ac fahk, “Tulik srisrik Hebrew se pa nge.”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.”

7Na tulik mutan se wien tulik sac siyuk, “Mea, nga ac tia som konauk sie mutan Hebrew ah in katiti tulik se inge?”Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8El topuk, “Wona.” Ouinge tulik mutan sac som solama nina na kien tulik sac.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9Fisrak sac fahk nu sin nina sac, “Eis tulik se inge ac liyalang, ac nga fah moli nu sum.” Ouinge el us tulik sac ac liyalang.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.

10Tok, ke tulik sac matula, nina sac el usalla nu yurin acn natul tokosra, su nutella oana ma na natul. El fahk mu, “Nga fah sang inel ‘Moses’ mweyen nga ololak liki inkof uh.”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.”

11Ke Moses el matula, el som mutwata yurin mwet lal mwet Hebrew, ac el liye lupan orekma upa ma itukyang elos in oru. El liye pac ke sie mwet Egypt el uni sie mwet Hebrew wial ah.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.

12Moses el ngetot ngetma in suk lah oasr mwet liyal, na ke wangin, el uniya mwet Egypt sac ac pikinya manol in puk uh.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13Len tok ah, el folokla ac liye ke sie mwet Hebrew uni sie pac. Na Moses el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku uni mwet Hebrew wiom?”The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14Mwet sac topuk ac fahk, “Su oru tuh kom in mwet leum ac mwet nununku facsr? Mea, kom ac uniyuwi oana ke kom uniya mwet Egypt sac?” Ke Moses el akilen lah mwet uh etu tari ma se el orala, na el sangeng.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.”

15Ke pacl se tokosra el lohngak, el suk in unilya Moses. Tusruktu Moses el kaingla ac som muta in acn Midian. Sie len ah, ke Moses el muta pe lufin kof se,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.

16na acn itkosr natul Jethro, mwet tol lun Midian, tuku in ut kof ac oayapa nwek mwe nim kof nimen sheep ac nani nutin papa tumaltal ah.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17Na oasr kutu mwet liyaung sheep ac nani tuku lusak acn natul Jethro ah. Moses el tuyak ac kasru acn ekasr ah, ac el sang kof nimen kosro nutin papa tumaltal ah.And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18Ke elos folokla nu yurin papa sac, el siyuk selos, “Komtak ku sa folok misenge?”When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19Elos topuk, “Mwet Egypt se kasrekut ke kutu pac mwet liyaung sheep aklokoalokye kut, ac el oayapa ut kof lasr ac kiteya pac kosro natusr ah.”“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20El siyuk seltal, “El aya? Komtal ku tia usalu? Fahla solalma elan wi kut mongo.”“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21Ouinge Moses el sulela elan mutana we. Na Jethro el esalang Zipporah, acn natul, in mutan kial.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22Zipporah el oswela wen se, ac Moses el fahk, “Nga mwetsac se nu fin facl se inge, ouinge nga fah sang inel Gershom.”And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23Tukun yac pus, tokosra lun acn Egypt el misa, tusruktu mwet Israel srakna yohk akkohs nu selos, ac elos sasaolana ke orekma upa lalos. Elos wowoyak ac suk kasru sin God.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.

24Ac God El lohng pusren sasao lalos ac El esam wuleang lal yorol Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25El liye ac etu ouiyen keok lun mwet Israel, ac El kena kasrelos.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
