1Hiche phatlai hin, Levi insung'a kon pasal khat leh Levi insungmi numei khat ma akicheng lhon tan ahi.Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2Numeinu chu ahung gaijin chapa khat ahing tai. Amanun achapa chu aven ahile lunglhai umtah naosen ahin, lhathum sung'in asel tan ahi.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3Ahivang'in amanun achapa chu asel joulou phat in, sinkhup Papyrus naang'a kisa khat agalan twilutna lou dingin avonglai jouse ahuhbit sohkeiye. Chuin sinkhup sung'a naocha chu akhum'in Nile Vadung pang phaipheng lah achun alha lut tai.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.

4Chuin naosen a unu jong gamla thim'a kon'in adingin naosen chu i-atidem tin agalvet in ahi.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5Chujouvin Pharaoh chanu vadung'a kisil dingin ahung suh tan, asottolle ho jong vadung pang achun avahle uvin ahi. Chuin amanun phaipheng phung lah a sinkhup chu ahin mudoh tan, aga ladin asohnu chu asol tan ahi.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.

6Lengpa chanun jong sinkhup chu ahongdoh in ahile, naocha chu amu in ahi. Chuin naocha chu akap in, amanun jong naocha chu avoujang natpi lheh in, “Hiche hi Hebrew mite cha khat hitei ding ahi,” ati.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.”

7Hichun naosen sopinun jong lengpa chanu heng ahin naije. “Keima kache a Hebrew numei khat naosen don ding kagahol peh ding ham?” tin adong'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?”

8Lengpa chanu in jong, “Henge, gapui jin!” tin adonbut in, numeinu jong ache in naosen hingnu ma-ma chu aga puiye.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9Chuin lengpa chanu'n jong naosen hingnu jah a aseijin. “Naosen hi lanlang neidon peh in, Keiman nadon man kapeh ding nahi,” ati. Chuin numeinu in jong naosen chu a-inlam'a adom'in amapa chu adon tan ahi.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.

10Khonung'in, chapang pa jong akhanglen tan ahile, anu in amapa chu Pharaoh chanu henga ahung thahkit tan, achapa mong-mong dingin Lengpa chanun amapa chu amin Mose asah tai, ajeh chu amanun aseijin, “Keiman amapa hi twi lah a kon kaloidoh ahi,” ati.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.”

11Kum phabep ache nungin, Mose jong ahung khanglen tan, amapa jong asopiho vil din achetou tan, aman jong asopi Hebrew mite hunam'a na atohsah nau aga mudoh tai. Agavil pet chun, Egypt mikhat in asopi Hebrew mikhat chung'a akhut alha chu amupaijin ahi.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.

12Akimvel avet a koiman eivepoi, ti aphot chen phat in, Mose'n Egypt mipa chu athat in neldi lah a asel tan ahi.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13Ajing nikho in, asopi ho vildin Mose apotdoh kit tan ahile, Hebrew mini akinah lhon aga amun ahi. “Ipi jeh a nagolpa navoh ham?” tin kinah hin panpa heng'a chun Mose'n aseiye.The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14Amapan adonbut in, “Koiham nangma keiho chunga leng'a na pansah le thutan dinga thaneina nape? Janhi a Egypt mipa natha banga chu keima jong tha ding neigot ham?” tin aseijin ahileh, Mose jong akichan “Ka thilbol mijousen ahetai,” tin angaiton ahi.”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.”

15Mose thilbol chu Pharaoh in ahin jadoh tahbeh tan, chuin Mose chu tha ding ago tan ahi. Ahivang'in Mose jong Pharaoh angsung'a kon'in ajam'in Median gamsung'a cheng din achetai. Median alhun chun Mose jong twikul pang'a atou tan ahi.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.

16Tun Median thempupa chun chanu sagi aneijin amaho chengse chu apau ganchahon ho dingin twi kongho chu athal ngai bang'un ahung thal dim'un ahi.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17Ahinlah kelngoi ching midang phabep ahung uvin amaho chu anodoh un ahi. Hichun Mose jong achomdoh jengin kelngoi ching hoa kon chun numei chapang ho chu ahuhdoh tan ahi. Chuin amapan amaho ganchate a ding twi chu athal peh tan ahi.And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18Numei chapang ho chu apau Reuel heng ale lhun uchun, amapan adongun, “Ipi jeh a tuni nahung kimale uham?” atin ahile,When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19ama hon jong adonbut uvin, “Egypt mi khat in kelngoi ching hoa kon'a eihuhdoh uva, chule amapa chun keiho ding le igancha hon houva ding twi eithal peh jeh u ahi,” atiuve.“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20“Ahile amapa hoiba ham?” tin apauvin adong'in, “Ipi dinga amapa chu chukom'a chu nahin dalhah uham? Ahung'a ankong isokhom diuvin gakouvun,” ati.“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21Mose'n jong akounau chu asanpeh in, thempupa toh chun hiva chun acheng khom tan ahi. Hiche phatlai chun, Reuel in achanu Zipporah chu Mose ji dingin ape tan ahi.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22Phat chomkhat jouvin, amanun chapa khat ahing'in, Mose'n Gershom asah tai “Ajeh chu keima hi gamchom beh a khopem kahi,” tina ahi.And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23Kum phabep ache nungin, Egypt lengpa athitan ahi. Hinlah Israel te chu soh a kihen ohna noiya pohgih poa khoisa jing nalai ahiuve. Panpi ngaiyin akap un, aka awgin'u chu Pathen angsung alhung tan ahi.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.

24Akhoisat nau Pathen'in aja tan, chuin Abraham, Isaac leh Jacob heng'a akitepna ahin geldoh tan ahi.So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25Aman Israel mite chu avesuh in, chuin tunvang toh phat ahitai ti chu ahe tan ahi.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
