Exodul 2
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Naşterea şi tinereţea lui Moise
2 Un bărbat din casa lui Levi îşi luase de soţie o fată a lui Levi. 2 Femeia a rămas însărcinată şi a născut un fiu; fiindcă a văzut că era un copil frumos[a], ea l-a ascuns timp de trei luni. 3 Când nu l-a mai putut ascunde, a luat un coş de papirus, l-a uns cu lut şi smoală, a pus copilul în el şi l-a pus între trestii, pe malul râului. 4 Sora lui stătea la distanţă, ca să vadă ce se va întâmpla cu el. 5 Fiica lui Faraon a coborât la râu să se scalde şi fetele care erau cu ea se plimbau pe malul râului; ea a văzut coşul între trestii şi şi-a trimis sclava să i-l aducă. 6 Când l-a deschis, a văzut înăuntru copilul. Acesta plângea, iar fiicei lui Faraon i s-a făcut milă de el şi a zis: „Trebuie să fie unul dintre copiii evreilor.“ 7 Atunci sora copilului a întrebat-o pe fiica lui Faraon:
– Să merg şi să chem o doică dintre femeile evreilor ca să alăpteze copilul pentru tine?
8 – Du-te! i-a răspuns fiica lui Faraon.
Fata s-a dus şi a chemat-o pe mama copilului. 9 Fiica lui Faraon i-a zis: „Ia acest copil şi alăptează-l pentru mine, iar eu îţi voi plăti.“ Femeia a luat copilul şi l-a alăptat. 10 Când copilul a crescut, ea l-a adus la fiica lui Faraon şi el a devenit fiul acesteia; ea i-a pus numele Moise[b], deoarece l-a scos din apă.
Fuga lui Moise în Midian
11 Într-o zi, pe când crescuse deja, Moise a ieşit să vadă greutăţile celor din poporul său; el a văzut cum un egiptean îl bătea pe un evreu, unul dintre cei din poporul său. 12 S-a uitat într-o parte şi într-alta şi, nevăzând pe nimeni, l-a ucis pe egiptean şi l-a ascuns în nisip. 13 A doua zi, pe când ieşea din nou, a văzut doi evrei bătându-se. El l-a întrebat pe cel vinovat:
– De ce-ţi loveşti semenul?
14 Acesta i-a răspuns:
– Cine te-a pus pe tine conducător şi judecător peste noi? Vrei să mă ucizi şi pe mine aşa cum l-ai ucis pe egiptean?
Atunci Moise s-a temut şi şi-a zis: „Cu siguranţă că acest lucru este cunoscut.“ 15 Când a aflat Faraon acest lucru, a căutat să-l omoare pe Moise. Însă Moise a fugit de Faraon şi s-a refugiat în ţara Midian; el s-a aşezat lângă o fântână. 16 Preotul din Midian avea şapte fiice. Ele au venit la fântână, au scos apă şi au umplut jgheaburile ca să adape turma tatălui lor. 17 Au sosit însă acolo nişte păstori care le-au izgonit; Moise s-a ridicat, le-a luat apărarea şi apoi le-a adăpat turmele. 18 Când ele s-au întors la tatăl lor, Reuel, acesta le-a întrebat:
– Cum se face că aţi venit mai repede astăzi?
19 Ele i-au răspuns:
– Un egiptean ne-a scăpat din mâna păstorilor, ne-a scos apă şi ne-a adăpat turma.
20 Atunci el le-a spus fiicelor sale:
– Şi unde este acum omul acela? Cum de l-aţi lăsat acolo? Invitaţi-l la masă!
21 Moise a fost de acord să locuiască la acel om şi acesta i-a dat-o de soţie pe fiica sa, Sefora. 22 Ea a născut un fiu, iar Moise i-a pus numele Gherşom[c], zicându-şi: „Sunt un străin într-o ţară străină.“
Dumnezeu ia aminte la suferinţa israeliţilor
23 După o perioadă lungă de timp, monarhul Egiptului a murit. Israeliţii încă gemeau în sclavia lor şi strigau după ajutor; strigătul lor din cauza sclaviei a ajuns la cunoştinţa lui Dumnezeu. 24 Dumnezeu le-a auzit geamătul şi Şi-a adus aminte de legământul Său cu Avraam, cu Isaac şi cu Iacov. 25 Astfel, Dumnezeu a luat aminte la starea israeliţilor şi I-a păsat de ei[d].

Exodus 2
Jubilee Bible 2000
2 ¶ And a man of the house of Levi went and took to wife a daughter of Levi,
2 who conceived and gave birth to a son, and seeing that he was beautiful, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes and daubed it with slime and with pitch and put the child in it, and she laid it in the reeds by the river’s brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off to see what would happen to him.
5 ¶ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and walking with her maidens along by the river’s side, she saw the ark among the reeds; she sent her maid to bring it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and, behold, the babe wept. And having compassion on him, she said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Then his sister said unto Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 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.
10 And when the child grew, she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, for she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 ¶ 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 a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the next day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together, and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Doest thou intend to kill me as thou killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 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.
16 ¶ Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came and drew water to fill the troughs to water their father’s sheep.
17 But the pastors came and drove them away. Then Moses stood up and defended them and watered their sheep.
18 And when they returned unto Reuel, their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the pastors and also drew water enough for us and watered the sheep.
20 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.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
22 And she gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershon, for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 ¶ And it came to pass in process of time that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God from their bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the sons of Israel, and God recognized them.
Exodus 2
Young's Literal Translation
2 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh the daughter of Levi,
2 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months,
3 and 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;
4 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.
5 And 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,
6 and 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.'
7 And 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;'
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, `Go;' and the virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad,
9 and 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.
10 And 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.'
11 And 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,
12 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand.
13 And 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?'
14 and 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.'
15 And 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.
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.
18 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, `Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'
19 and 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;'
20 and he saith unto his daughters, `And where [is] he? why [is] this? -- ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.'
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,
22 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, `A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
23 And 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;
24 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
25 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.
Exodus 2
King James Version
2 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 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.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9 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 women took the child, and nursed it.
10 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.

12 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.
13 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?

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 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.
20 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.

23 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.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
