GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Υπηγε δε ανθρωπος τις εκ του οικου Λευι, και ελαβεν εις γυναικα μιαν εκ των θυγατερων Λευι.	1 After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.
2 Και συνελαβεν η γυνη και εγεννησεν υιον? ιδουσα δε αυτον οτι ητο ευμορφος, εκρυψεν αυτον τρεις μηνας.	2 And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, 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 And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.
4 Η δε αδελφη αυτου παρεμονευε μακροθεν, δια να ιδη το αποβησομενον εις αυτο.	4 His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.
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 Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,
6 και ανοιξασα βλεπει το παιδιον και ιδου, το νηπιον εκλαιε? και ελυπηθη αυτο, λεγουσα, Εκ των παιδιων των Εβραιων ειναι τουτο.	6 she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”
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 And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”
8 Και ειπε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ του Φαραω, Υπαγε. Και υπηγε το κορασιον και εκαλεσε την μητερα του παιδιου.	8 She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her 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 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.
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 And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from 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 In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.
12 Περιβλεψας δε εδω και εκει και ιδων οτι δεν ητο ουδεις, επαταξε τον Αιγυπτιον και εκρυψεν αυτον εν τη αμμω.	12 And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down 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 And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
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 responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become 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 And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to 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 Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.
17 Ελθοντες δε οι ποιμενες εδιωξαν αυτας? και σηκωθεις ο Μωυσης εβοηθησεν αυτας και εποτισε τα προβατα αυτων.	17 The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18 Και οτε ηλθον προς Ραγουηλ τον πατερα αυτων, ειπε προς αυτας, Δια τι τοσον ταχεως ηλθετε σημερον;	18 And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”
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 responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”
20 Ο δε ειπε προς τας θυγατερας αυτου, Και που ειναι; δια τι αφηκατε τον ανθρωπον; καλεσατε αυτον δια να φαγη αρτον.	20 But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
21 Και ευχαριστηθη ο Μωυσης να κατοικη μετα του ανθρωπου? οστις εδωκεν εις τον Μωυσην εις γυναικα Σεπφωραν την θυγατερα αυτου.	21 Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
22 Και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Γηρσωμ, λεγων, Παροικος ειμαι εν ξενη γη?	22 And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”
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 In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
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 And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 και επεβλεψεν ο Θεος επι τους υιους Ισραηλ και ηλεησεν αυτους ο Θεος.	25 And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
