1Raakeen ƴaar ŋ Heber ca, ɓaah ŋ cuuɓiŋ Lewi, a tokka ɓitiɓ ŋ cuuɓeem ;Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2ɓitɓeem ammba rook, a raakka kuɓu ƴaar, a hotta ne kuɓka moɗiɗ, a ɗasiɗta ɗe ini ree caɓin kaahay.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3Wa kaɗta po a minisɗi ɗe ɗasiɗ, a ɓayya pañe teɗohuuɗ paangfi na woyse hapeel, a reeffaa godirong na daakaande, ne masuɓ aasuu nga, a ɓekka kuɓka nga, a ɗaakkaa ŋ hapeel ca paar ŋ masmaŋ sereendaŋ kalaŋ Niil.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.

4Taambɗoh kuɓka, ya ɓitɓa, cangtiɗukka, a markeeɗa ini raakan.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5Wa degga ƴissuut, kuɓkiŋ Firawnaana ɓitɓa kaɗta ɓookka ŋ kala, huntoh caŋ ɗe ɓitiɓ ca tiindsukeeɗa ŋ sereendaŋ kala, a ƴokka pañe ŋ ɗooƴ paangiica, a woossa ñaamaŋ ɗe ɓitɓa wa, a ɓayyaa.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.

6Kuɓkiŋ Firawnaana kunissaa, a hotta kuɓu ƴaar ŋ ɗooƴa fuɗeeɗa. Kuɓka misikka ɗe, a woosa ne : « A ɓaah ŋ kuɓuuciŋ Heber ci. »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.”

7Wa taambɗoh kuɓka hot ineem, a woosa ɗe ne : « Fu ɗaas so de', andi fu waaɗiɗ ne ŋ kaɗ ɗa waakɗa ŋ Heber ci ɓitɓi na hee ɗa ɗe ɓapɗiɗe e ? »Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8A woosa ɗe ne : « Ee, kaɗa. » A kaɗta, a hayya na yaayiŋ kuɓka.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9Kuɓkiŋ Firawnaana woosa yeem ne : « Ɓayaa ɗe, fu ɓapɗiɗee so ɗe, ŋ hey ɗa wirnde. » Ɓitɓa ɓayya ɗe, a ɓapɗeeɗa ɗe.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.

10Wa kuɓka omb, a wikka kuɓkiŋ Firawnaana ɗe, yeem tummba ɗe kuɓkiŋ ɗe ; a woosa ne : « Ini ŋ nihsoh ɗe ŋ masuɓ tahiɗ po ŋ teekan ɗe Musaa. »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.”

11Wa Musaa nik yakak, a kaɗta marka ɓaah caŋ ɗe Heber ca ; a hotta pangka ɓa degu, na findi wa miskoh ! A nammba hot ƴaar ɓaah ŋ ɓi Misra laɓeeɗa ƴaar Heber laɓ miskiɗ.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.

12Musaa marakka ndeem jen, a hotɗi ɓo', a laɓpa ƴaara genee Misra, a appa ɗe, a uummba fiɗaafiŋ ɗe ŋ merhey mi.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13Kooh wiissa, a hayissa, a raakka Heber kanak hiñoheeɗa ; a woosa ƴaara tooñ ne : « Eh ! Wa ye tah fu laɓee ƴaari fu inah ne a ɗu ɓaah ? »The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14Waaye ƴaara loffa ɗe ne : « Ya ɓa tum ɗa kilifaaniŋ ɓoo na atte'ohiŋ ɓoo ? Fu waaɗ to nam ap findi fu apoh ƴaariŋ Misraaci e ? » Musaa inahha ne ina a tum inhuuɗ, a neƴƴohha.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.”

15Firawnaana kerahhaa, a waaɗta ɗe ap, waaye a saandohha kur kaŋ Majaan. Wa Musaa ree Majaan, a ɓoof ŋ sero naac.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.

16Waam seeƴkiɗohaŋ Majaan raakeen kuɓu cafaƴ yasna-kanak. Ɓa kaɗta naaca, ɓa neyya hongol ca, ne ɓa aniɗ pe' ca na mbaal caŋ baab ɓa.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17Waaye ɓi niiɗoh hayya, aannja ɓa na ɗoopaat caŋ ɓa. Weɗi Musaa kurkoh, hirippa ɓa, a anɗiɗta ɓa ɗoopaat ca.And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18Wa komaakca ɓitiɓ ca haad, Rewyel baab ɓa woosa ɓa ne : « Ca' ! Wa ye tah ɗu teella hay woti ? »When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19Ɓa loffa ɗe ne : « A ƴaar gen Misra a yi tos ɓoo ŋ niiɗoh ci, a yi neyiɗ ɓoo sah, a aniɗta ɓoo ɗoopaat ci. »“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20A woosa ɓa ne : « A nde ƴaara ? Wa ye tah ɗu faɗta ɗe ndaam ? Kaɗaat ɗu ɓeeɗkaa ɗe a ñam na ɓoo book ! »“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21Ŋ mirndaani Musaa teyɗukka nik ŋ kahan ƴaara, yeem onnda ɗe ɓitiɓ, kuɓkiŋ ɗe na woyse Sefora.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22A raakka na ɗe kuɓu ƴaar, a woosa ne : « Ŋ genohaah ŋ kur jaambur. » Weɗ tah, a teekka kuɓka Geersom.And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23Musaa nikka ŋ Majaan in maañiɗ po buuraŋ Misra ŋ jamanoonaam kaannda. Israayel ca rissa ŋ ñaam kaŋ ɓa, ɓa iineeɗa, ɓa leehkeeɗa ; leehuk caŋ ɓa ne ɓa naafu, reesa ŋ Kooh.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.

24Kooh kerahha ca, a naandsukka ambtiɗohiŋ ɗe na Ibrahiima na Isaahha na Yaŋhooɓa.So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25A marakka ŋ Israayel ca, a inahha ini ɓa nikoh.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
