Exodus 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.	1 ην δε τις εκ της φυλης λευι ος ελαβεν των θυγατερων λευι και εσχεν αυτην
2 And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.	2 και εν γαστρι ελαβεν και ετεκεν αρσεν ιδοντες δε αυτο αστειον εσκεπασαν αυτο μηνας τρεις
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.	3 επει δε ουκ ηδυναντο αυτο ετι κρυπτειν ελαβεν αυτω η μητηρ αυτου θιβιν και κατεχρισεν αυτην ασφαλτοπισση και ενεβαλεν το παιδιον εις αυτην και εθηκεν αυτην εις το ελος παρα τον ποταμον
4 His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.	4 και κατεσκοπευεν η αδελφη αυτου μακροθεν μαθειν τι το αποβησομενον αυτω
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,	5 κατεβη δε η θυγατηρ φαραω λουσασθαι επι τον ποταμον και αι αβραι αυτης παρεπορευοντο παρα τον ποταμον και ιδουσα την θιβιν εν τω ελει αποστειλασα την αβραν ανειλατο αυτην
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.”	6 ανοιξασα δε ορα παιδιον κλαιον εν τη θιβει και εφεισατο αυτου η θυγατηρ φαραω και εφη απο των παιδιων των εβραιων τουτο
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.”	7 και ειπεν η αδελφη αυτου τη θυγατρι φαραω θελεις καλεσω σοι γυναικα τροφευουσαν εκ των εβραιων και θηλασει σοι το παιδιον
8 She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.	8 η δε ειπεν αυτη η θυγατηρ φαραω πορευου ελθουσα δε η νεανις εκαλεσεν την μητερα του παιδιου
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.	9 ειπεν δε προς αυτην η θυγατηρ φαραω διατηρησον μοι το παιδιον τουτο και θηλασον μοι αυτο εγω δε δωσω σοι τον μισθον ελαβεν δε η γυνη το παιδιον και εθηλαζεν 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.”	10 αδρυνθεντος δε του παιδιου εισηγαγεν αυτο προς την θυγατερα φαραω και εγενηθη αυτη εις υιον επωνομασεν δε το ονομα αυτου μωυσην λεγουσα εκ του υδατος αυτον ανειλομην
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.	11 εγενετο δε εν ταις ημεραις ταις πολλαις εκειναις μεγας γενομενος μωυσης εξηλθεν προς τους αδελφους αυτου τους υιους ισραηλ κατανοησας δε τον πονον αυτων ορα ανθρωπον αιγυπτιον τυπτοντα τινα εβραιον των εαυτου αδελφων των υιων ισραηλ
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.	12 περιβλεψαμενος δε ωδε και ωδε ουχ ορα ουδενα και παταξας τον αιγυπτιον εκρυψεν αυτον εν τη αμμω
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?”	13 εξελθων δε τη ημερα τη δευτερα ορα δυο ανδρας εβραιους διαπληκτιζομενους και λεγει τω αδικουντι δια τι συ τυπτεις τον πλησιον
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?”	14 ο δε ειπεν τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ' ημων μη ανελειν με συ θελεις ον τροπον ανειλες εχθες τον αιγυπτιον εφοβηθη δε μωυσης και ειπεν ει ουτως εμφανες γεγονεν το ρημα τουτο
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.	15 ηκουσεν δε φαραω το ρημα τουτο και εζητει ανελειν μωυσην ανεχωρησεν δε μωυσης απο προσωπου φαραω και ωκησεν εν γη μαδιαμ ελθων δε εις γην μαδιαμ εκαθισεν επι του φρεατος
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.	16 τω δε ιερει μαδιαμ ησαν επτα θυγατερες ποιμαινουσαι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων ιοθορ παραγενομεναι δε ηντλουν εως επλησαν τας δεξαμενας ποτισαι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων ιοθορ
17 The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.	17 παραγενομενοι δε οι ποιμενες εξεβαλον αυτας αναστας δε μωυσης ερρυσατο αυτας και ηντλησεν αυταις και εποτισεν τα προβατα αυτων
18 And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”	18 παρεγενοντο δε προς ραγουηλ τον πατερα αυτων ο δε ειπεν αυταις τι οτι εταχυνατε του παραγενεσθαι σημερον
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.”	19 αι δε ειπαν ανθρωπος αιγυπτιος ερρυσατο ημας απο των ποιμενων και ηντλησεν ημιν και εποτισεν τα προβατα ημων
20 But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”	20 ο δε ειπεν ταις θυγατρασιν αυτου και που εστι και ινα τι ουτως καταλελοιπατε τον ανθρωπον καλεσατε ουν αυτον οπως φαγη αρτον
21 Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.	21 κατωκισθη δε μωυσης παρα τω ανθρωπω και εξεδοτο σεπφωραν την θυγατερα αυτου μωυση γυναικα
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.”	22 εν γαστρι δε λαβουσα η γυνη ετεκεν υιον και επωνομασεν μωυσης το ονομα αυτου γηρσαμ λεγων οτι παροικος ειμι εν γη αλλοτρια
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.	23 μετα δε τας ημερας τας πολλας εκεινας ετελευτησεν ο βασιλευς αιγυπτου και κατεστεναξαν οι υιοι ισραηλ απο των εργων και ανεβοησαν και ανεβη η βοη αυτων προς τον θεον απο των εργων
24 And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.	24 και εισηκουσεν ο θεος τον στεναγμον αυτων και εμνησθη ο θεος της διαθηκης αυτου της προς αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ
25 And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.	25 και επειδεν ο θεος τους υιους ισραηλ και εγνωσθη αυτοις
