Exodus 2 (ABTAG)

1At isang lalake sa lipi ni Levi ay yumaon, at nagasawa sa isang anak na babae ng lipi ni Levi.Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2At ang babae ay naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake: at nang kaniyang makita na maganda, ay kaniyang itinagong tatlong buwan.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3At nang hindi na niya maitatagong malaon ay ikinuha niya ng isang takbang yantok, at pinahiran niya ng betun at ng sahing; at kaniyang isinilid ang bata roon, at inilagay sa katalahiban sa tabi ng ilog.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.

4At tumayo sa malayo ang kaniyang kapatid na babae, upang maalaman ang mangyayari sa bata.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5At ang anak na babae ni Faraon ay lumusong upang maligo sa ilog; at nagsipaglakad ang kaniyang mga abay sa tabi ng ilog; at kaniyang nakita ang takba sa katalahiban, at ipinakuha sa kaniyang abay.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.

6At kaniyang binuksan, at nakita niya ang bata: at narito, ang sanggol ay umiyak. At kaniyang kinaawaan at sinabi, Ito'y isa sa mga anak ng mga Hebreo.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.”

7Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang kapatid na babae sa anak ni Faraon, Yayaon ba ako at itatawag kita ng isang sisiwa sa mga babaing Hebrea, na makapagalaga sa iyo ng batang ito?Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8At sinabi sa kaniya ng anak ni Faraon, Yumaon ka. At ang dalaga ay yumaon, at tinawag ang ina ng bata.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9At sinabi ng anak ni Faraon, sa kaniya, Dalhin mo ang batang ito, at alagaan mo sa akin, at bibigyan kita ng iyong kaupahan. At kinuha ng babae ang bata, at inalagaan.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.

10At ang bata ay lumaki, at kaniyang dinala sa anak ni Faraon, at siya'y kaniyang inaring anak. At kaniyang pinanganlang Moises, at sinabi, Sapagka't aking sinagip siya sa tubig.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.”

11At nangyari nang mga araw na yaon, ng malaki na si Moises, na kaniyang nilabas ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at minasdan ang atang sa kanila: at kaniyang nakita ang isang Egipcio, na nananakit ng isang Hebreo, na isa sa kaniyang mga kapatid.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.

12At siya'y nagmasid sa magkabikabilang dako, at nang siya'y walang makitang tao, ay kaniyang pinatay ang Egipcio at kaniyang tinabunan sa buhanginan.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13At siya'y lumabas ng ikalawang araw, at, narito, na may dalawang lalaking Hebreo, na nagbababag: at kaniyang sinabi roon sa umaapi, Bakit mo sinasaktan ang iyong kasama?The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14At sinabi niya, Sinong naglagay sa iyong pangulo at hukom sa amin? Iniisip mo bang patayin ako, na gaya ng pagpatay mo sa Egipcio? At natakot si Moises, at nagsabi, Tunay na ang bagay na yaon ay nahayag.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.”

15Nang mabalitaan nga ni Faraon ang bagay na ito, ay minithi niyang patayin si Moises. Datapuwa't si Moises ay tumakas sa harapan ni Faraon, at tumahan sa lupain ng Madian: at siya'y umupo sa tabi ng isang balon.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.

16Ang saserdote nga sa Madian ay may pitong anak na babae: at sila'y naparoon at umigib ng tubig, at kanilang pinuno ang mga inuman upang painumin ang kawan ng kanilang ama.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17At ang mga pastor ay dumating, at sila'y pinalayas: datapuwa't si Moises ay tumayo, at sila'y tinulungan, at pinainom ang kanilang kawan.And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18At nang sila'y dumating kay Raquel na kanilang ama, ay sinabi niya, Bakit kayo tumindig na madali ngayon?When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19At kanilang sinabi, Ipinagsanggalang kami ng isang Egipcio sa kamay ng mga pastor, at saka iniigib pa niya kami ng tubig, at pinainom ang kawan.“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20At kaniyang sinabi sa mga anak niya, At saan naroon siya? bakit ninyo iniwan ang lalaking yaon? tawagin ninyo siya upang makakain ng tinapay.“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21At si Moises ay natuwa na makisuno sa lalaking yaon: at kaniyang pinapag-asawa kay Moises si Zephora na kaniyang anak.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22At nanganak ng isang lalake, at kaniyang pinanganlan ng Gersom; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y nakipamayan sa ibang bayan.And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23At nangyari pagkaraan ng maraming araw na ang hari sa Egipto ay namatay; at ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagbuntong hininga dahil sa pagkaalipin, at sila'y dumaing at ang kanilang daing ay umabot sa Dios dahil sa pagkaalipin.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.

24At dininig ng Dios ang kanilang hibik, at naalaala ng Dios ang kaniyang tipan kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob,So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25At nilingap ng Dios ang mga anak ni Israel, at sila'y kinilala ng Dios.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
