Exodus 2 (WLO) · Opened

1Dhaangia samia umane minaaka i kaomuna Lewi mokobhawineakana samia bhawine kaomuna Lewi.Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,

2Bhawine sumai abhawa-bhawamo kasiimpo apalaahirimo samia anaana umane. Wakutuuna incia akamatea ande anaana sumai amakesa, inana abuniakamea kangenge talu mbula.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months.

3Maka rampaakanamo inda amembali abuniakea apekangengea uka, incia aalamo saangu langka minaaka i rumpu pure, alempesiakea gala-gala tee mina tere mamudhaakana uwe inda apesua. Kasiimpomo incia apadhongi anaana sumai i nuncana. Kasiimpomo inana adhikamea langka sumai i tanga-tangana towu lambe i saripina Umala Nil.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.

4Akana bhawine anaana sumai akabhale-bhale pekaridho to akamata opea bhemomembalina tee andina.And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5Tangasaana sumai aumbamo anana Firaun o bhawine to apebhaho i Umala Nil, sainamo manga bhatuana akambeli-mbeli i saripina umala. Sanampuu anana Firaun o bhawine sii akamatamo langka molantona i tanga-tangana towu lambe sumai tee atumpumo bhatuana bhawine alingka aalea.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.

6Wakutuu abungkalea, incia akamata anaana sumai tangasaana atangi, sabutuna incia amaasimo incana tee apogau, "Tantumo anaana sii miana Ibrani."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.”

7Kasiimpo aabhamo akana anana sumai i anana bhawine Firaun, "Uunda mboona kulingka kukembaakako samia bhawine Ibrani to apadudu anana sii to opuku?"Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”

8Alawanimo anana bhawine Firaun i incia, "Lingkamo." Kasiimpo alingkamo kabuabua sumai akemba inana anaana sumai.“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

9Apogaumo anana bhawine Firaun i ina sumai, "Bhawamo anaana sii tee padudua to iaku, dhaampo bhekudhawuko ponambo." Sumaimo bhawine sumai abhawamea anaana sumai tee apadudua.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.

10Wakutuuna anaana sumai apepuumo amaoge, inana apasarakaakamea i anana bhawine Firaun. Kasiimpomo anana Firaun apamembali incia sumai anaana iangkana. Incia asarongiakea anaana sumai Musa, sababuna kooni, "Kualea minaaka i uwe."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.”

11Saangu eo wakutuuna Musa amaogemo, incia alimba minaaka i malige Firaun apokawaaka manga witinaina Ibrani tee amaheruakea tuaapa miana Mesir apakisaa manga akarajaa momatamona. Kasiimpomo, incia akamatamo samia Mesir abhebhe samia Ibrani tee katukona, siitumo samia salipuna.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.

12Musa abhalili i kaai tee i kaana, tee wakutuuna akamatea inda dhaangia mia, incia apekamatemo miana Mesir sumai tee abuniakea maeatina i nuncana bhone.After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

13Samainawana, wakutuuna incia alimba uka, apokawaaka rua mia miana Ibrani tangasaana apobusu. Incia aabhamo i mia mosala sumai, "Pokia ingkoo ubhebhe sabhangkamu?"The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14Alawanimo mia sumai, "Incema moangkako membali kapala tee haakimumami? Buaka ingkoo bheupekamateaku uka, mboomo miana Mesir ipekamatemu sumai?" Kasiimpomo Musa amaekamo tee afikiri, "Cilakamo! Tantumo ipewauku sumai atomataumo."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.”

15Wakutuuna Firaun arango hali incia sumai, apeelomo akala to apekamate Musa. Maka o Musa apalaiaka karona minaaka i Firaun tee akawamo i Tana Midian, kasiimpo auncura i saripina saangu sumu.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.

16I Tana Midian sumai dhaangia samia imamu akoana pitu mia bhawine. Manga incia aumba to asiwu uwe tee bhosuna kasiimpo aantoki manga dhingkanana mamudhaakana apasumpuaka bhembe dumbana amana.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17Maka tangasaana asiwu uwe, aumbamo manga gembala apadhencu manga incia. Sumaimo o Musa akakaro atulungi manga incia tee apasumpu bhembe tee dumbana manga.And when some shepherds came along and drove them away, Moses rose up to help them and watered their flock.

18Wakutuuna manga anana sumai ambuli i Rehuel, o amana manga, incia aabha, "Pokia ingkomiu madhei mpuu umbuli i eo sii?"When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19Alawanimo manga, "Dhaangia samia Mesir motulungina ingkami minaaka i manga gembala. Incia malape mpuu, sabutuna asiwu uwe ataralabhi-labhi uka to ingkami tee apasumpu gulumana bhembe dumbata."“An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they replied. “He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20Apogaumo i manga anana, "Iapai incia? Pokia ingkomiu ubholia mia sumai? Kembaia incia akande."“So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21Musa aunda amboore i bhanuana mia incia sumai, kasiimpo incia adhawuakea Zipora, anana, i Musa to apamembalia bhawinena.Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22Bhawine sumai apalaahiri samia anaana umane, kasiimpomo Musa asarongiakea Gersom, sababuna kooni, "Iaku samia dhaga iwe sii."And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23Amangenge sapadhana incia sumai amatemo raja Mesir. Maka miana Israel dhaangia apeenci roonamo manga incia apabhatuaia, tee manga incia apekee, sabutuna pekeena aemani tulungi roonamo kapabhatua sumai akawa i Aulataʼala.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.

24Aulataʼala arangoa opea ipeenciakana manga tee audhanimo pojanjiana tee Ibrahim, Ishak, tee Yakub.So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25Sumaimo, Aulataʼala akamata manga miana Israel apabhatuaia tee amaheruakea manga incia.God saw the Israelites and took notice.
