Exodus 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.	1 Egressus est post hæc vir de domo Levi : et accepit uxorem stirpis suæ.
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.	2 Quæ concepit, et peperit filium : et videns eum elegantem, abscondit tribus mensibus.
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.	3 Cumque jam celare non posset, sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam, et linivit eam bitumine ac pice : posuitque intus infantulum, et exposuit eum in carecto ripæ fluminis,
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.	4 stante procul sorore ejus, et considerante eventum rei.
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.	5 Ecce autem descendebat filia Pharaonis ut lavaretur in flumine : et puellæ ejus gradiebantur per crepidinem alvei. Quæ cum vidisset fiscellam in papyrione, misit unam e famulabus suis : et allatam
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.	6 aperiens, cernensque in ea parvulum vagientem, miserta ejus, ait : De infantibus Hebræorum est hic.
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?	7 Cui soror pueri : Vis, inquit, ut vadam, et vocem tibi mulierem hebræam, quæ nutrire possit infantulum ?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.	8 Respondit : Vade. Perrexit puella et vocavit matrem suam.
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.	9 Ad quam locuta filia Pharaonis : Accipe, ait, puerum istum, et nutri mihi : ego dabo tibi mercedem tuam. Suscepit mulier, et nutrivit puerum : adultumque tradidit filiæ Pharaonis.
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.	10 Quem illa adoptavit in locum filii, vocavitque nomen ejus Moyses, dicens : Quia de aqua tuli eum.
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.	11 In diebus illis postquam creverat Moyses, egressus est ad fratres suos : viditque afflictionem eorum, et virum ægyptium percutientem quemdam de Hebræis fratribus suis.
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.	12 Cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc, et nullum adesse vidisset, percussum Ægyptium abscondit sabulo.
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?	13 Et egressus die altero conspexit duos Hebræos rixantes : dixitque ei qui faciebat injuriam : Quare percutis proximum tuum ?
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.	14 Qui respondit : Quis te constituit principem et judicem super nos ? num occidere me tu vis, sicut heri occidisti Ægyptium ? Timuit Moyses, et ait : Quomodo palam factum est verbum istud ?
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.	15 Audivitque Pharao sermonem hunc, et quærebat occidere Moysen : qui fugiens de conspectu ejus, moratus est in terra Madian, et sedit juxta puteum.
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.	16 Erant autem sacerdoti Madian septem filiæ, quæ venerunt ad hauriendam aquam : et impletis canalibus adaquare cupiebant greges patris sui.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.	17 Supervenere pastores, et ejecerunt eas : surrexitque Moyses, et defensis puellis, adaquavit oves earum.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?	18 Quæ cum revertissent ad Raguel patrem suum, dixit ad eas : Cur velocius venistis solito ?
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.	19 Responderunt : Vir ægyptius liberavit nos de manu pastorum : insuper et hausit aquam nobiscum, potumque dedit ovibus.
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.	20 At ille : Ubi est ? inquit : quare dimisistis hominem ? vocate eum ut comedat panem.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.	21 Juravit ergo Moyses quod habitaret cum eo. Accepitque Sephoram filiam ejus uxorem :
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.	22 quæ peperit ei filium, quem vocavit Gersam, dicens : Advena fui in terra aliena. Alterum vero peperit, quem vocavit Eliezer, dicens : Deus enim patris mei adjutor meus eripuit me de manu Pharaonis.
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.	23 Post multum vero tempore mortuus est rex Ægypti : et ingemiscentes filii Israël, propter opera vociferati sunt : ascenditque clamor eorum ad Deum ab operibus.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.	24 Et audivit gemitum eorum, ac recordatus est f?deris quod pepigit cum Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.	25 Et respexit Dominus filios Israël et cognovit eos.
