出埃及记 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
摩西誕生
2 有一個利未家的人去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 直到她不能把他再藏了，就拿一個蒲草箱來，塗上瀝青和石漆；把孩子放在裡面，把箱子放在河邊的蘆葦叢中。 4 孩子的姊姊遠遠地站著，要知道孩子究竟怎樣。 5 那時，法老的女兒下到河邊去洗澡；她的使女們在河邊行走；她看見了在蘆葦中的箱子，就打發自己的使女去把箱子拿過來。
6 她打開了，就看見那孩子；看哪，孩子哭了，她就憐憫他，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：“我去從希伯來婦人中給你請一個奶媽來，為你乳養這個孩子可以嗎？” 8 法老的女兒回答：“你去吧。”童女就去把孩子的母親請了來。 9 法老的女兒對她說：“你把這孩子抱去，替我乳養他，我必給你工錢。”婦人就抱了孩子去乳養他。 10 孩子長大了，婦人把他帶到法老的女兒那裡，他就作了法老女兒的兒子。她給孩子起名叫摩西，說：“因為我把他從水裡拉出來。”
摩西逃往米甸
11 過了些日子，摩西長大了，有一次，他出去到他的同胞那裡去，看見他們的重擔，又看見一個埃及人打他的一個同胞希伯來人。 12 摩西左右觀望，見沒有人，就把那埃及人擊殺了，埋藏在沙土裡。 13 第二天他又出去，看見兩個希伯來人彼此爭鬥著，就對那欺負人的說：“你為甚麼打你同族的人呢？” 14 那人回答：“誰立了你作我們的領袖和審判官呢？難道你想殺我，好像殺那個埃及人一樣嗎？”摩西就懼怕起來，心裡想：“這事必定給人知道了！”
15 法老聽見這事，就設法要殺摩西；摩西躲避法老，就往米甸地去居住；有一天他坐在井旁。 16 米甸的祭司有七個女兒，她們來打水，打滿了水槽，要給父親的羊群喝。 17 有些牧人來了，把她們趕走；摩西卻起來，救了她們，也給她們的羊群喝水。 18 她們回到父親流珥那裡，父親問：“今天你們為甚麼趕著回來呢？” 19 她們說：“有一個埃及人救我們脫離了牧羊人的手，而且還為我們打水給羊群喝。” 20 父親對眾女兒說：“他在哪裡？你們為甚麼撇下那人呢？去請他來吃飯。” 21 摩西樂意和那人同住；那人把自己的女兒西坡拉給了摩西作妻子。 22 西坡拉生了一個兒子，摩西給他起名叫革舜，因為他說：“我在異地作了客旅。”
23 過了很久，埃及王死了。以色列人在捆鎖中歎息，他們就呼求，在捆鎖中的呼求達到 神那裡。 24 神聽見他們的呼聲，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，也關注他們。
Shemot 2
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 And there went an ish of the Bais Levi, and took to wife a bat Levi.
2 And the isha conceived, and bore a ben; and when she saw him that he was tov, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a tevah (ark) of papyrus, and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and put the yeled therein; and she set it in the reeds by the bank of the Nile.
4 And his achot stood afar off, to see what would be done to him.
5 And the Bat Pharaoh came down to bathe herself at the Nile; and her na’arot walked along by the Nile’s bank; and when she saw the tevah (ark) among the reeds, she sent her amah (maid servant) to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the yeled; and, hinei, the na’ar was crying. And she had compassion on him, and said, This one is of the yaldei HaIvrim (Hebrew children).
7 Then said his achot to Bat Pharaoh, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of HaIvriyyot, that she may nurse the yeled for thee?
8 And Bat Pharaoh said to her, Go. And haalmah [see Gn 24:43; Isa 7:14] went and called the em hayeled.
9 And Bat Pharaoh said unto her, Take this yeled away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the isha took the yeled, and nursed it.
10 And the yeled grew, and she brought him unto Bat Pharaoh, and he became her ben. And she called shmo Moshe: and she said, Because meshitihu (I drew him) out of the mayim.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moshe was grown, that he went out unto his achim, and looked on their sivlot: and he spied an Egyptian striking an ish Ivri, one of his achim.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no ish, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the chol (sand).
13 And when he went out the second day, hinei, two anashim Ivrim were fighting; he said to him in the wrong, Why strike thou thy re’a?
14 And he said, Who made thee a sar and a shofet over us? Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moshe feared, and thought, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moshe. But Moshe fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in Eretz Midyan; and he sat down by a well.
16 Now the kohen of Midyan had sheva banot; and they came and drew mayim, and filled the troughs to water the tzon of their av.
17 And the ro’im (shepherds) came and drove them away; but Moshe stood up and rescued them, and watered their tzon.
18 And when they came to Reuel their av, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the yad of the ro’im (shepherds), and also drew enough for us, and watered the tzon.
20 And he said unto his banot, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the ish? Call him, that he may eat lechem.
21 And Moshe was content to dwell with the ish; and he gave Moshe Tzipporah his bat.
22 And she bore him a ben, and he called shmo Gershom; for he said, I have been a ger in a foreign land.
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that Melech Mitzrayim died; and the Bnei Yisroel groaned by reason of haAvodah (the Bondage), and they cried out, and their cry came up unto HaElohim by reason of haAvodah.
24 And Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered His brit (covenant) with Avraham, with Yitzchak, and with Ya’akov.
25 And Elohim looked upon the Bnei Yisroel, and Elohim had da’as of them.
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.
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 an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
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?
14 And 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.
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: 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.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: 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 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.
