¹A nejaký muž z domu Léviho odišiel a vzal si za ženu dcéru z pokolenia Léviho.

¹And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,

²A žena počala a porodila syna a vidiac ho, že je krásny, kryla ho tri mesiace.

²and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,

³A keď ho už nemohla ďalej ukryť, vzala pre neho koš z trsti a omazala ho glejovinou a smolou, vložila do neho dieťa a potom položila do rákosia pri brehu rieky.

³and she hath not been able any more to hide him, and she taketh for him an ark of rushes, and daubeth it with bitumen and with pitch, and putteth the lad in it, and putteth [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;

⁴A jeho sestra sa postavila zďaleka, aby zvedela, čo sa s ním bude diať.

⁴and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.

⁵V tom sišla dcéra faraonova na pokraj rieky kúpať sa, a jej dievčatá sa prechádzaly popri rieke. A keď uvidela koš medzi rákosím, poslala svoju dievku a vzala ho.

⁵And a daughter of Pharaoh cometh down to bathe at the River, and her damsels are walking by the side of the River, and she seeth the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sendeth her handmaid, and she taketh it,

⁶A otvoriac kôš uvidela ho, dieťa, a hľa, plačúce chlapča. A zľutovala sa nad ním a riekla: Toto je z hebrejských detí.

⁶and openeth, and seeth him — the lad, and lo, a child weeping! and she hath pity on him, and saith, `This is [one] of the Hebrews` children.`

⁷A jeho sestra povedala dcére faraonovej: Či mám ísť a zavolať ti ženu dojku, z hebrejských žien, aby ti odchovala dieťa?

⁷And his sister saith unto the daughter of Pharaoh, `Do I go? when I have called for thee a suckling woman of the Hebrews, then she doth suckle the lad for thee;`

⁸A dcéra faraonova jej riekla: Iď! A deva išla a zavolala matku dieťaťa.

⁸and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, `Go;` and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,

⁹A dcéra faraonova jej riekla: Odnes toto dieťa a odchovaj mi ho, a ja ti dám tvoju mzdu. A žena vzala dieťa a chovala ho.

⁹and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, `Take this lad away, and suckle him for me, and I — I give thy hire;` and the woman taketh the lad, and suckleth him.

¹⁰A keď odrástlo dieťa, doviedla ho k dcére faraonovej. A bol jej za syna, a nazvala jeho meno Mojžiš, a riekla: Lebo som ho vytiahla z vody.

¹⁰And the lad groweth, and she bringeth him in to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calleth his name Moses, and saith, `Because — from the water I have drawn him.`

¹¹A stalo sa v tých dňoch, keď vyrástol Mojžiš, že vyšiel ku svojim bratom a hľadel na ich ťažkú prácu. A videl egyptského muža, ktorý bil hebrejského muža, jedného z jeho bratov.

¹¹And it cometh to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goeth out unto his brethren, and looketh on their burdens, and seeth a man, an Egyptian, smiting a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brethren,

¹²A obzrúc sa sem i ta a vidiac, že nieto nikoho, zabil Egypťana a ukryl ho v piesku.

¹²and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.

¹³Potom vyšiel na druhý deň, a hľa, dvaja hebrejskí mužovia sa vadili. A riekol tomu, ktorý krivdil: Prečo biješ svojho blížneho?

¹³And he goeth out on the second day, and lo, two men, Hebrews, striving! and he saith to the wrong-doer, `Why dost thou smite thy neighbour?`

¹⁴Ale ten odpovedal: Kto ťa ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu nad nami? Či ma azda chceš zabiť, ako si zabil toho Egypťana? A Mojžiš sa bál a povedal: Vec sa istotne vie.

¹⁴and he saith, `Who set thee for a head and a judge over us? to slay me art thou saying [it], as thou hast slain the Egyptian?` and Moses feareth, and saith, `Surely the thing hath been known.`

¹⁵A keď počul faraon tú vec, hľadal zabiť Mojžiša. Ale Mojžiš utiekol od tvári faraonovej a býval v Madianskej zemi. A keď prišiel ta, sadol si pri studni.

¹⁵And Pharaoh heareth of this thing, and seeketh to slay Moses, and Moses fleeth from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelleth in the land of Midian, and dwelleth by the well.

¹⁶A madianský kňaz mal sedem dcér, ktoré prišly a ťahaly vodu a nalievaly do válovov, aby napojily stádo oviec a kôz svojho otca.

¹⁶And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,

¹⁷Ale prijdúc pastieri odohnali ich. Vtedy vstal Mojžiš a pomohol im a napojil ich stádo.

¹⁷and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.

¹⁸Keď potom prišly k Reguelovi, svojmu otcovi, povedal: Prečo ste sa dnes poponáhľaly a prišly ste tak skoro?

¹⁸And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, `Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?`

¹⁹A ony riekly: Nejaký Egypťan nás vyslobodil z ruky pastierov, ba ešte nám i naťahal vody a napojil stádo.

¹⁹and they say, `A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for us, and watereth the flock;`

²⁰A povedal svojim dcéram: A kdeže je? Prečo ste tam nechaly človeka? Zavolajte ho, a bude jesť chlieb.

²⁰and he saith unto his daughters, `And where [is] he? why [is] this? — ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.`

²¹A Mojžiš privolil bývať s mužom. A Reguel dal Mojžišovi Ciporu, svoju dcéru za ženu.

²¹And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,

²²A porodila syna, a nazval jeho meno Geršom, lebo povedal: Pohostín som v cudzej zemi.

²²and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, `A sojourner I have been in a strange land.`

²³A stalo sa po dlhom čase, že zomrel egyptský kráľ. A synovia Izraelovi vzdychali od ťažkej roboty a kričali, a ich volanie o pomoc vystúpilo hore k Bohu od tej roboty.

²³And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of the service;

²⁴A Bôh počul ich nárek, a Bôh sa rozpamätal na svoju smluvu s Abrahámom, Izákom a Jakobom.

²⁴and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;

²⁵A Bôh videl synov Izraelových a Bôh zvedel.

²⁵and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
