出埃及記 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
摩西的出生
2 有一個利未家的人娶了一個利未女子為妻。 2 那女人懷孕,生了一個兒子,見他俊美,就把他藏了三個月, 3 後來不能再藏,就取了一個蒲草箱,抹上柏油和樹脂,將孩子放在裏面,把箱子擱在尼羅河邊的蘆葦中。 4 孩子的姊姊遠遠站着,要知道他究竟會怎樣。
5 法老的女兒來到尼羅河邊洗澡,她的女僕們在河邊行走。她看見在蘆葦中的箱子,就派一個使女把它拿來。 6 她打開箱子,看見那孩子。看哪,男孩在哭,她就可憐他,說:「這是希伯來人的一個孩子。」 7 孩子的姊姊對法老的女兒說:「我去叫一個希伯來婦人來作奶媽,替你乳養這孩子,好嗎?」 8 法老的女兒對她說:「去吧!」那女孩就去叫了孩子的母親來。 9 法老的女兒對她說:「你把這孩子抱去,替我乳養這孩子,我必給你工錢。」那婦人就把孩子接過來,乳養他。 10 孩子長大了,婦人把他帶到法老的女兒那裏,就作了她的兒子。她給孩子起名叫摩西,說:「因我把他從水裏拉出來。」
摩西逃往米甸
11 過了一段日子,摩西長大了,他出去到他同胞那裏,看見他們的勞役。他看見一個埃及人打他的同胞,一個希伯來人。 12 他左右觀看,見沒有人,就把埃及人打死了,藏在沙土裏。 13 第二天他出去,看哪,有兩個希伯來人在打架,他就對那兇惡的人說:「你為甚麼打你同族的人呢?」 14 那人說:「誰立你作我們的領袖和審判官呢?難道你要殺我,像殺那埃及人一樣嗎?」摩西就懼怕,說:「這事一定是讓人知道了。」 15 法老聽見這事,就設法要殺摩西。於是摩西逃走,躲避法老,到了米甸地,坐在井旁。
16 米甸的祭司有七個女兒;她們來打水,打滿了槽,要給父親的羊羣喝水。 17 有一些牧羊人來,把她們趕走,摩西卻起來幫助她們,取水給她們的羊羣喝。 18 她們回到父親流珥那裏;他說:「今日你們為何這麼快就回來了呢?」 19 她們說:「有一個埃及人來救我們脫離牧羊人的手,他甚至打水給我們的羊羣喝。」 20 他對女兒們說:「那人在哪裏?你們為甚麼撇下他呢?去請他來吃飯吧!」 21 摩西願意和那人同住, 那人就把女兒西坡拉給摩西為妻。 22 西坡拉生了一個兒子,摩西給他起名叫革舜,因他說:「我在外地作了寄居者。」
23 過了許多年,埃及王死了。以色列人因做苦工,就嘆息哀求;他們因苦工所發出的哀聲達於 神。 24 神聽見他們的哀聲,就記念他與亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的約。 25 神看顧以色列人, 神是知道的[a]。

Exodus 2
New King James Version
Moses Is Born(A)
2 And (B)a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And (C)when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of (D)bulrushes for him, daubed it with (E)asphalt and (F)pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds (G)by the river’s bank. 4 (H)And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 Then the (I)daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became (J)her son. So she called his name [a]Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Moses Flees to Midian(K)
11 Now it came to pass in those days, (L)when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he (M)killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 And (N)when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men (O)were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, (P)“Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”
So Moses (Q)feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!” 15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But (R)Moses fled from [b]the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of (S)Midian; and he sat down by (T)a well.
16 (U)Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. (V)And they came and drew water, and they filled the (W)troughs to water their father’s flock. 17 Then the (X)shepherds came and (Y)drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and (Z)watered their flock.
18 When they came to (AA)Reuel[c] their father, (AB)he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”
19 And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.”
20 So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may (AC)eat bread.”
21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave (AD)Zipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she bore him a son. He called his name (AE)Gershom,[d] for he said, “I have been (AF)a [e]stranger in a foreign land.”
23 Now it happened (AG)in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel (AH)groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and (AI)their cry came up to God because of the bondage. 24 So God (AJ)heard their groaning, and God (AK)remembered His (AL)covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God (AM)looked upon the children of Israel, and God (AN)acknowledged them.

New International Version
The Birth of Moses
2 Now a man of the tribe of Levi(A) married a Levite woman,(B) 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine(C) child, she hid him for three months.(D) 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus(E) basket[a] for him and coated it with tar and pitch.(F) Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds(G) along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister(H) stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank.(I) She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.
7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”
8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named(J) him Moses,[b] saying, “I drew(K) him out of the water.”
Moses Flees to Midian
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people(L) were and watched them at their hard labor.(M) He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”(N)
14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us?(O) Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill(P) Moses, but Moses fled(Q) from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian,(R) where he sat down by a well. 16 Now a priest of Midian(S) had seven daughters, and they came to draw water(T) and fill the troughs(U) to water their father’s flock. 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue(V) and watered their flock.(W)
18 When the girls returned to Reuel(X) their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 “And where is he?” Reuel asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”(Y)
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah(Z) to Moses in marriage. 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom,[c](AA) saying, “I have become a foreigner(AB) in a foreign land.”
23 During that long period,(AC) the king of Egypt died.(AD) The Israelites groaned in their slavery(AE) and cried out, and their cry(AF) for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered(AG) his covenant(AH) with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned(AI) about them.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kapanganakan ni Moises
2 May isang tao mula sa lahi ni Levi na nakapag-asawa ng isang babae na galing din sa lahi ni Levi. 2 Hindi nagtagal, nagbuntis ang babae at nanganak ng isang lalaki. Nang makita niyang malusog ang sanggol, itinago niya ito sa loob ng tatlong buwan. 3 Pero nang hindi na niya maitago ang sanggol, kumuha siya ng basket na gawa sa halaman na papyrus at pinahiran ng alkitran. Pagkatapos, inilagay niya ang sanggol sa basket at pinalutang sa tubig sa tabi ng matataas na damo sa pampang ng Ilog ng Nilo. 4 Nakatayo naman sa di-kalayuan ang kapatid na babae ng sanggol para tingnan kung ano ang mangyayari rito.
5 Ngayon, lumusong ang anak na babae ng Faraon sa Ilog ng Nilo para maligo. Habang naliligo ang prinsesa,[a] ang mga utusang babae naman niya ay naglalakad-lakad sa pampang. Nakita ng prinsesa ang basket sa matataas na damo kaya ipinakuha niya ito sa isa sa kanyang mga utusan. 6 Binuksan niya ang basket at nakita ang umiiyak na sanggol, kaya naawa siya rito. Sinabi niya, “Isa ito sa mga sanggol ng mga Hebreo.”
7 Pagkatapos, lumapit ang kapatid na babae ng sanggol sa prinsesa[b] at nagtanong, “Gusto nʼyo po bang ikuha ko kayo ng isang babaeng Hebreo na magpapasuso at mag-aalaga sa sanggol para sa inyo?”
8 Sumagot ang prinsesa, “Sige.” Kaya umalis ang kapatid ng sanggol at pinuntahan ang kanilang ina at dinala sa prinsesa. 9 Sinabi ng prinsesa sa ina ng bata, “Dalhin mo ang sanggol na ito at pasusuhin para sa akin. Alagaan mo siya at babayaran kita.” Kaya kinuha niya ang sanggol at inalagaan.
10 Nang lumaki na ang sanggol, dinala siya ng kanyang ina sa prinsesa at itinuring siya ng prinsesa bilang tunay niyang anak. Pinangalanan ng prinsesa ang bata na Moises,[c] dahil sinabi niya, “Kinuha ko siya sa tubig.”
Tumakas si Moises Papuntang Midian
11 Isang araw, nang binata na si Moises, pumunta siya sa mga kadugo niya at nakita niya kung paano sila pinapahirapan. Nakita niya ang isang Egipcio na hinahagupit ang isang Hebreo na kadugo niya. 12 Luminga-linga si Moises sa paligid kung may nakatingin. At nang wala siyang nakita, pinatay niya ang Egipcio at ibinaon ang bangkay sa buhangin.
13 Kinabukasan, bumalik siya at may nakita siyang dalawang Hebreong nag-aaway. Tinanong niya ang may kasalanan, “Bakit mo hinahagupit ang kapwa mo Hebreo?”
14 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Sino ang naglagay sa iyo para maging pinuno at hukom namin? Papatayin mo rin ba ako katulad ng ginawa mo sa Egipcio kahapon?” Natakot si Moises at sinabi sa kanyang sarili, “May nakakaalam pala ng ginawa ko.”
15 Nang malaman ng Faraon ang ginawa ni Moises, tinangka niya itong patayin, pero tumakas si Moises papuntang Midian para roon manirahan. Pagdating niya sa Midian, naupo siya sa gilid ng balon. 16 Ngayon, dumating naman ang pitong anak na babae ng pari ng Midian para umigib at painumoin ang mga alagang hayop ng kanilang ama. 17 May dumating doon na mga pastol at pinapaalis nila ang mga babae at ang kanilang mga hayop, pero tinulungan ni Moises ang mga babaeng anak ng pari at pinainom pa niya ang mga alaga nilang hayop.
18 Pag-uwi ng mga babae sa ama nilang si Reuel,[d] tinanong niya sila, “Bakit parang napaaga ang pag-uwi nʼyo?”
19 Sumagot sila, “May isang Egipcio po na tumulong sa amin laban sa mga pastol. Ipinag-igib niya kami ng tubig at pinainom ang aming mga hayop.”
20 Nagtanong ang kanilang ama, “Nasaan na siya? Bakit ninyo siya iniwan? Tawagin ninyo siya at anyayahang kumain.”
21 Tinanggap ni Moises ang paanyaya, at pumayag siyang doon na tumira sa bahay ni Reuel. Nang magtagal, ipinakasal ni Reuel ang anak niyang si Zipora kay Moises 22 Nagbuntis si Zipora at nanganak ng isang lalaki, at pinangalanan ito ni Moises na Gershom,[e] dahil sinabi niya, “Dayuhan ako sa lupaing ito.”
23 Pagkalipas ng maraming taon, namatay ang hari ng Egipto. Pero patuloy pa rin ang paghihirap ng mga Israelita sa kanilang pagkaalipin. Humingi sila ng tulong at umabot sa Dios ang kanilang hinaing. 24 Narinig ng Dios ang kanilang hinaing, at inalala niya ang kanyang kasunduan kina Abraham, Isaac, at Jacob. 25 Nakita ng Dios ang kalagayan nila at naawa ang Dios sa kanila.
