ΕΞΟΔΟΣ - Esodo - Exodus 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Υπηγε δε ανθρωπος τις εκ του οικου Λευι, και ελαβεν εις γυναικα μιαν εκ των θυγατερων Λευι.	1 Now a certain man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman,
2 Και συνελαβεν η γυνη και εγεννησεν υιον? ιδουσα δε αυτον οτι ητο ευμορφος, εκρυψεν αυτον τρεις μηνας.	2 who conceived and bore a son. Seeing that he was a goodly child, she hid him for three months.
3 Μη δυναμενη δε να κρυπτη αυτον πλεον, ελαβε δι' αυτον κιβωτιον σπαρτινον και κατεχρισεν αυτο με ασφαλτον και πισσαν και ενεβαλε το παιδιον εις αυτο και εθεσεν εις το ελωδες μερος παρα το χειλος του ποταμου.	3 When she could hide him no longer, she took a papyrus basket, daubed it with bitumen and pitch, and putting the child in it, placed it among the reeds on the river bank.
4 Η δε αδελφη αυτου παρεμονευε μακροθεν, δια να ιδη το αποβησομενον εις αυτο.	4 His sister stationed herself at a distance to find out what would happen to him.
5 Και κατεβη η θυγατηρ του Φαραω δια να λουσθη εις τον ποταμον, αι δε θεραπαιναι αυτης περιεπατουν επι την οχθην του ποταμου? και οτε ειδε το κιβωτιον εις το ελωδες μερος, εστειλε την παιδισκην αυτης και ελαβεν αυτο?	5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to the river to bathe, while her maids walked along the river bank. Noticing the basket among the reeds, she sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6 και ανοιξασα βλεπει το παιδιον και ιδου, το νηπιον εκλαιε? και ελυπηθη αυτο, λεγουσα, Εκ των παιδιων των Εβραιων ειναι τουτο.	6 On opening it, she looked, and lo, there was a baby boy, crying! She was moved with pity for him and said, "It is one of the Hebrews' children."
7 Τοτε ειπεν η αδελφη αυτου προς την θυγατερα του Φαραω, Θελεις να υπαγω να καλεσω εις σε γυναικα θηλαζουσαν εκ των Εβραιων, δια να σοι θηλαση το παιδιον;	7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?"
8 Και ειπε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ του Φαραω, Υπαγε. Και υπηγε το κορασιον και εκαλεσε την μητερα του παιδιου.	8 "Yes, do so," she answered. So the maiden went and called the child's own mother.
9 Και ειπε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ του Φαραω, Λαβε το παιδιον τουτο και θηλασον μοι αυτο, και εγω θελω σοι δωσει τον μισθον σου.	9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will repay you." The woman therefore took the child and nursed it.
10 Ελαβε δε η γυνη το παιδιον και εθηλαζεν αυτο. Και αφου εμεγαλωσε το παιδιον, εφερεν αυτο προς την θυγατερα του Φαραω, και εγεινεν υιος αυτης? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Μωυσην, λεγουσα, Οτι εκ του υδατος ανεσυρα αυτο.	10 When the child grew, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son and called him Moses; for she said, "I drew him out of the water."
11 Κατα δε τας ημερας εκεινας, αφου ο Μωυσης εμεγαλωσεν, εξηλθε προς τους αδελφους αυτου? και παρατηρων τα βαρη αυτων, βλεπει ανθρωπον Αιγυπτιον τυπτοντα Εβραιον τινα εκ των αδελφων αυτου.	11 On one occasion, after Moses had grown up, when he visited his kinsmen and witnessed their forced labor, he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his own kinsmen.
12 Περιβλεψας δε εδω και εκει και ιδων οτι δεν ητο ουδεις, επαταξε τον Αιγυπτιον και εκρυψεν αυτον εν τη αμμω.	12 Looking about and seeing no one, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 Και εξηλθε την ακολουθον ημεραν και ιδου, δυο ανδρες Εβραιοι διεπληκτιζοντο? και λεγει προς τον αδικουντα, Δια τι τυπτεις τον πλησιον σου;	13 The next day he went out again, and now two Hebrews were fighting! So he asked the culprit, "Why are you striking your fellow Hebrew?"
14 Ο δε ειπε, Τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και κριτην εφ' ημας; Μηπως θελεις συ να με φονευσης, καθως εφονευσας τον Αιγυπτιον; Και εφοβηθη ο Μωυσης και ειπε, Βεβαιως το πραγμα τουτο εγεινε γνωστον.	14 But he replied, "Who has appointed you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses became afraid and thought, "The affair must certainly be known."
15 Ακουσας δε ο Φαραω το πραγμα τουτο, εζητει να θανατωση τον Μωυσην? αλλ' ο Μωυσης εφυγεν απο προσωπου του Φαραω και κατωκησεν εν τη γη Μαδιαμ? εκαθισε δε πλησιον του φρεατος.	15 Pharaoh, too, heard of the affair and sought to put him to death. But Moses fled from him and stayed in the land of Midian. As he was seated there by a well,
16 Ο δε ιερευς της Μαδιαμ ειχεν επτα θυγατερας, αιτινες ελθουσαι ηντλησαν υδωρ και εγεμισαν τας ποτιστρας δια να ποτισωσι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων.	16 seven daughters of a priest of Midian came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 Ελθοντες δε οι ποιμενες εδιωξαν αυτας? και σηκωθεις ο Μωυσης εβοηθησεν αυτας και εποτισε τα προβατα αυτων.	17 But some shepherds came and drove them away. Then Moses got up and defended them and watered their flock.
18 Και οτε ηλθον προς Ραγουηλ τον πατερα αυτων, ειπε προς αυτας, Δια τι τοσον ταχεως ηλθετε σημερον;	18 When they returned to their father Reuel, he said to them, "How is it you have returned so soon today?"
19 Αι δε ειπον, Ανθρωπος Αιγυπτιος ελυτρωσεν ημας εκ των χειρων των ποιμενων και προσετι ηντλησεν εις ημας υδωρ και εποτισε τα προβατα.	19 They answered, "An Egyptian saved us from the interference of the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock!"
20 Ο δε ειπε προς τας θυγατερας αυτου, Και που ειναι; δια τι αφηκατε τον ανθρωπον; καλεσατε αυτον δια να φαγη αρτον.	20 "Where is the man?" he asked his daughters. "Why did you leave him there? Invite him to have something to eat."
21 Και ευχαριστηθη ο Μωυσης να κατοικη μετα του ανθρωπου? οστις εδωκεν εις τον Μωυσην εις γυναικα Σεπφωραν την θυγατερα αυτου.	21 Moses agreed to live with him, and the man gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage.
22 Και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Γηρσωμ, λεγων, Παροικος ειμαι εν ξενη γη?	22 She bore him a son, whom he named Gershom; for he said, "I am a stranger in a foreign land."
23 Μετα δε πολυν καιρον, ετελευτησεν ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου? και κατεστεναξαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ δια την δουλειαν και ανεβοησαν? και η βοη αυτων ανεβη προς τον Θεον εξ αιτιας της δουλειας.	23 A long time passed, during which the king of Egypt died. Still the Israelites groaned and cried out because of their slavery. As their cry for release went up to God,
24 Και εισηκουσεν ο Θεος των στεναγμων αυτων? και ενεθυμηθη ο Θεος την διαθηκην αυτου την προς τον Αβρααμ, τον Ισαακ και τον Ιακωβ?	24 he heard their groaning and was mindful of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
25 και επεβλεψεν ο Θεος επι τους υιους Ισραηλ και ηλεησεν αυτους ο Θεος.	25 He saw the Israelites and knew. . . .
