Exodus

2

1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
1 Kala Lawi kunda alboro fo koy ka Lawi ize way fo hiiji.
2And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
2 Waybora din mo te gaa-hinka ka hay ize alboro. Waato kaŋ a di kaŋ arwasu hanno no, a n'a tugu handu hinza.
3And 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.
3 Saaya kaŋ a si tugu koyne, a na isa subu cilla fo sambu, a n'a tuusu nda botogo nda gudron _haro se|_. A na ize aro daŋ a ra k'a jisi burgu ra isa me gaa.
4And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
4 Koociya wayme mo go ga kay nangu mooro, zama nga ma di haŋ kaŋ i ga te a se.
5And 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.
5 Kala Firawna ize wayo koy isa me nga ma nyumay se. A koŋŋey mo go ga bar-bare isa me gaa. A di cilla burgo ra ka nga koŋŋa fo donton a m'a sambu.
6And 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.
6 Kal a n'a fiti, a di zanka. A go mo, alborayze no kaŋ goono ga hẽ. A bakaraw n'a di. A ne: «Woone, Ibraniyancey ize no.»
7Then 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?
7 Kala waymo ne Firawna ize wayo din se: «Ay ma koy ka ce ni se naanandiko Ibraniyancey wayborey ra no, zama a ma zanka naanandi ni se?»
8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
8 Firawna ize wayo binde ne a se: «Koy!» Kala wandiya koy ka zanka nyaŋo ce.
9And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.
9 Firawna ize wayo binde ne a se: «Ma zanka wo sambu ka naanandi ay se, ay mo ga ni bana ni alhakko.» Waybora binde na zanka sambu. A koy k'a naanandi.
10And 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.
10 Zanka binde beeri. A kond'a Firawna ize wayo do, a ciya mo a se ize. A n'a maa daŋ Musa ka ne: «Zama ay n'a soolam no ka kaa haro ra.»
11And 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.
11 I go no jirbey din ra, waato kaŋ Musa beeri, a koy nga nya-izey do zama nga m'i taabey guna. Kal a di Misirance fo go ga Ibraniyance fo kar, Musa nya-izey ra.
12And 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.
12 Kala Musa guna ne, a guna yongo. Saaya kaŋ a mana di boro kulu, a na Misiranca wi k'a fiji taaso ra.
13And 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?
13 Zaari hinkanta ra mo koyne a ye ka fatta. Kal a di Ibraniyancey ra boro hinka go ga yanje. Musa ne toonyanta se: «Ifo se no ni ga ni nya-izo kar?»
14And 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.
14 Nga mo ne: «May ka ni daŋ koy da ciitiko iri boŋ? Ni ga ne ni g'ay mo wi mate kaŋ ni na Misiranca wi, wala?» Kala Musa humburu. A ne: «Daahir, i bay hayo wo gaa.»
15Now 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.
15 Waato kaŋ Firawna maa baaro, a ceeci nga ma Musa wi, amma Musa zuru Firawna se ka koy goro Midiyan laabo ra ka goro noodin day fo me gaa.
16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
16 Midiyan alfaga* gonda ize way iyye. I koy zama ngey ma hari guru. I na ngey garbey toonandi zama ngey ma ngey baabo kurey haŋandi.
17And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
17 Hawjiyey binde kaa k'i gaaray, amma Musa tun ka faasa i se, a n'i kurey haŋandi i se mo.
18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
18 Waato kaŋ wayborey koy ngey baabo Reyul do, a ne: «Mate no araŋ te ka kaa da waasi ya-cine hunkuna?»
19And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
19 I ne: «Misirance fo no ka iri faaba hawjiyey kambe ra, hal a na hari candi zaati iri se ka kuro haŋandi.»
20And 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.
20 Reyul ne nga izey se: «Man a go mo? Ifo se no araŋ na bora din naŋ? Wa koy k'a ce, a ma kaa ka ŋwa.»
21And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
21 Musa laakalo kani mo bora din do goray gaa. Nga mo na Musa no nga ize way fo kaŋ maa Zippora.
22And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
22 A hay ize alboro. Musa n'a maa daŋ Gerson, zama a ne: «Ay goro yaw laabu waani fo ra.»
23And 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.
23 A ciya, jirbey din banda, kala Misira bonkoono bu. Israyla izey mo go ga bine jisi tamtara sabbay se, i na jinde sambu mo. I hẽeno koy Irikoy do tamtara sabbay se.
24And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
24 Irikoy maa i durayyaŋo mo. Irikoy fongu nga alkawlo gaa kaŋ go nga nda Ibrahim da Isaka nda Yakuba game ra.
25And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
25 Irikoy binde na Israyla izey guna. Irikoy n'i saal.
