Exodus 2

And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray avy amin'ny mpianakavin'i Levy lasa naka vady tamin'ny zanakavavin'i Levy.

And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

Dia nanan'anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary rehefa hitany fa zaza tsara izy, dia nafeniny telo volana.

And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

Ary rehefa tsy azony nafenina intsony izy, dia nangalany fiara zozoro, ka nopetahany asfalta sy dity ny fiara, dia napetrany tao ny zaza; ary napetrany tao anaty zozoro teo amoron'i Neily ny fiara.

And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

Ary ny anabaviny nijanona teny lavidavitra eny, mba hahita izay hatao aminy.

And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

Ary nidina ny zanakavavin'i Farao mba handro tao Neily; ary ny ankizivaviny nitsangatsangana teny amoron'i Neily; ary raha nahita ny fiara teo anaty zozoro ny zanakavavin'i Farao, dia naniraka ny mpanompovaviny iray izy ka nampaka azy.

And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

Ary nony nosokafany, dia hitany ny zazakely; ary indro fa zazalahy mitomany. Dia namindra fo taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Isan'ny zanaky ny Hebreo ity.

Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

Dia hoy kosa ny anabaviny tamin'ny zanakavavin'i Farao: Handeha haka mpitaiza amin'ny vehivavy Hebreo va aho hankatỳ aminao mba hitaiza ny zaza ho anao?

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

Ary hoy ny zanakavavin'i Farao taminy: Andeha ary. Dia lasa razazavavy ka naka ny renin'ny zaza.

And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

Ary hoy ny zanakavavin'i Farao taminy: Ento ity zaza ity, ka tezao ho ahy, fa izaho handoa ny karamanao. Dia nentin-dravehivavy ny zaza ka notezainy.

And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

Ary rehefa lehibe ny zaza, dia nentiny tao amin'ny zanakavavin'i Farao izy, ka dia tonga zanany. Ary ny anarany nataony hoe Mosesy; fa hoy izy: Satria tamin'ny rano no nangalako azy.

And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.

Ary tamin'izany andro izany, rehefa lehibe Mosesy, dia nivoaka nankany amin'ny rahalahiny izy ka nijery ny fanompoany mafy, ary nahita lehilahy Egyptiana nanavokavoka ny anankiray tamin'ny Hebreo rahalahiny.

And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Dia niherikerika izy, ka nony hitany fa tsy nisy olona, dia novonoiny ilay Egyptiana, ary nasitriny tao amin'ny fasika ny faty.

And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

Ary nony ampitson'iny, dia nivoaka indray izy, ary, indreo, nisy Hebreo roa lahy niady; dia hoy izy tamin'ilay diso: Nahoana no mamono ny namanao ianao?

And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

Fa hoy izy: Iza no nanendry an'ialahy ho mpanapaka sy mpitsara anay? Moa mikasa hamono ahy koa va ialahy, tahaka ny namonoan'ialahy ilay Egyptiana? Dia raiki-tahotra Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Hay! fantatr'olona izany!

Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

Ary rehefa ren'i Farao izany zavatra izany, dia nitady hamono an'i Mosesy izy. Fa Mosesy nandositra ny tavan'i Farao ka nonina tany amin'ny tany Midiana; ny nipetraka teo anilan'ny lavaka fantsakana izy.

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

Ary ny mpisorona tao Midiana nanana zanaka fito mirahavavy; ary avy izy ireo, dia nanovo rano ka nameno ny tavin-drano hampisotroany ny ondry aman'osin-drainy.

And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

Ary avy kosa ny lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nandroaka azy; fa Mosesy nitsangana ka namonjy azy, dia nampisotro rano ny ondry aman'osiny.

And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

Ary rehefa tonga teo amin-dRegoela rainy izy, dia hoy izy: Nahoana no dia nalaky tonga toy izany ianareo androany?

And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.

Ary hoy izy ireo: Nisy lehilahy Egyptiana anankiray namonjy anay tamin'ny tanan'ny mpiandry ondry sady nanovo rano ho anay, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman'osy.

And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.

Ary hoy izy tamin'ny zananivavy: Ka aiza izy? Nahoana no nilaozanareo izany lehilahy izany? Alao izy mba hihinan-kanina.

And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

Ary sitrak'i Mosesy ny hitoetra tao amin-dralehilahy. Ary Zipora zananivavy dia nomeny ho vadin'i Mosesy.

And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

Dia niteraka zazalahy izy, ary ny anarany nataon-drainy hoe Gersoma; fa hoy izy: Efa vahiny atỳ amin'ny tanin'ny firenena hafa aho.

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

Ary tao anatin'izany andro maro izany dia maty ny mpanjakan'i Egypta; ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nisento noho ny fanompoany ka nitaraina; ary niakatra tany amin'Andriamanitra ny fitarainany noho ny fanompoany.

And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Ary Andriamanitra nandre ny fitarainany, dia nahatsiaro ny fanekeny tamin'i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.

And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Ary Andriamanitra dia nijery ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nahafantatra azy.
