¹A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.

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

²The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.

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

³When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.

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.

⁴His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.

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

⁵Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

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.

⁶She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

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

⁷Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

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

⁸Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.

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

⁹Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.

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.

¹⁰The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Moses” sounds like the Hebrew for “draw out”. and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

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.

¹¹It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

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.

¹²He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

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

¹³He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”

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

¹⁴He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

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.

¹⁵Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

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.

¹⁶Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

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

¹⁷The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

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

¹⁸When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”

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

¹⁹They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”

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

²⁰He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”

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

²¹Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.

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

²²She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, “Gershom” sounds like the Hebrew for “an alien there.” for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”

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

²³It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

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.

²⁴God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

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

²⁵God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

²⁵A Bôh videl synov Izraelových a Bôh zvedel.
