Exodus 2
Maori Bible
2 Na ka haere tetahi tangata o te whare o Riwai, ka tango i tetahi tamahine a Riwai hei wahine.
2 A ka hapu te wahine, ka whanau he tane: a, ka kitea he tamaiti pai, e toru nga marama i huna ai ia e ia.
3 A, te ahei ia te huna tonu i a ia, ka tango ia i tetahi aaka kakaho mona, pani rawa ki te uku, ki te ware, a whaowhina ana te tamaiti ki roto; whakatakotoria iho ki roto ki nga wiwi i te pareparenga o te awa.
4 A tu ana i tawhiti tona tuahine, kia kite e ahatia ranei ia.
5 Na ko te haerenga iho o te tamahine a Parao ki te horoi; ko ana kotiro hoki e haere ana i te taha o te awa; a, ka kite ia i te aaka i roto i nga wiwi, ka ngare i tana kotiro ki te tiki.
6 A, no tana hurahanga ake, ka kite i te tamaiti; na, ka tangi te tamaiti. A ka aroha ia ki a ia, ka mea, No nga tamariki a nga Hiperu tenei.
7 Katahi ka mea tona tuahine ki te tamahine a Parao, Kia haere ahau ki te karanga i tetahi wahine whakangote o nga Hiperu ki a koe hei whakangote mau i te tamaiti?
8 A ka ki te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Haere: a haere ana te kotiro, karanga ana i te whaea o te tamaiti.
9 A ka mea te tamahine a Parao ki a ia, Tangohia te tamaiti nei, whakangotea maku, a maku e hoatu he utu ki a koe. Na tango ana te wahine i te tamaiti, a whakangotea ana e ia.
10 A, ka nui te tamaiti, ka kawea e ia ki te tamahine a Parao, a ka waiho ia hei tama mana. A huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Mohi: i mea hoki, No te mea i toia ake ia e ahau i roto i te wai.
11 A i aua ra, ka kaumatuatia a Mohi, na ka haere ki ona tuakana, ka titiro hoki ki a ratou kawenga: a ka kite ia i tetahi Ihipiana e patu ana i tetahi Hiperu, no ona tuakana.
12 Na ka tahurihuri ia, a ka kite kahore he tangata, patua iho te Ihipiana, a huna iho ki te onepu.
13 A ka haere ia i te rua o nga ra, na, tokorua nga tangata o nga Hiperu e whawhai ana ki a raua: a ka mea atu ia ki te tangata nana te kino, He aha koe i patu ai i tou hoa?
14 Na ka mea tera, Na wai koe i ki hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakawa mo matou? E mea ana koe ki te patu i ahau me koe i patu ra i te Ihipiana? A ka wehi a Mohi, ka mea, Koia hoki, kua rangona tenei mea.
15 A ka rongo a Parao i taua mea, na ka whai kia patua a Mohi. Otiia i rere a Mohi i te aroaro o Parao, a noho ana i te whenua o Miriana: na kua noho ia ki te puna.
16 Na, tokowhitu nga tamahine a te tohunga o Miriana: a ka haere ratou, ka utuutu wai, ka whakaki i nga waka, hei whakainu i nga hipi a to ratou papa.
17 A ko te haerenga o nga hepara, kei te atiati i a ratou: a ka whakatika a Mohi ka araarai i a ratou, ka whakainu i a ratou hipi.
18 A ka tae ratou ki a Reuere, ki to ratou papa, ka mea ia, Na te aha koutou i hohoro mai ai inaianei?
19 A ka mea ratou, Na tetahi Ihipiana i ora ai matou i te ringa o nga hepara, nana ano i utuutu he wai ma matou, i whakainu hoki nga hipi.
20 Na ka mea ia ki ana tamahine, A kei hea ia? He aha taua tangata i whakarerea ai e koutou? karangatia ki te kai taro.
21 A i pai a Mohi ki te noho ki taua tangata; a ka homai e ia a Hipora, tana tamahine, ki a Mohi.
22 A ka whanau ia, he tane, a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Kerehoma. I mea hoki ia, He manene ahau i te whenua ke.
23 Na i muri i nga ra e maha ka mate te kingi o Ihipa; a ka hotu te manawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te whakamahinga, a aue ana ratou; a ka puta ake ta ratou aue ki te Atua, no ratou hoki e whakamahia ana.
24 A ka rongo te Atua ki ta ratou tangi, ka mahara te Atua ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Hakopa, ki a Ihaka.
25 Na ka titiro te Atua ki nga tama a Iharaira, a ka mohio te Atua ki a ratou.

The Birth of Moses
2 Now a man of the tribe of Levi(A) married a Levite woman,(B) 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine(C) child, she hid him for three months.(D) 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus(E) basket[a] for him and coated it with tar and pitch.(F) Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds(G) along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister(H) stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank.(I) She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.
7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”
8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named(J) him Moses,[b] saying, “I drew(K) him out of the water.”
Moses Flees to Midian
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people(L) were and watched them at their hard labor.(M) He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”(N)
14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us?(O) Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill(P) Moses, but Moses fled(Q) from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian,(R) where he sat down by a well. 16 Now a priest of Midian(S) had seven daughters, and they came to draw water(T) and fill the troughs(U) to water their father’s flock. 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue(V) and watered their flock.(W)
18 When the girls returned to Reuel(X) their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 “And where is he?” Reuel asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”(Y)
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah(Z) to Moses in marriage. 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom,[c](AA) saying, “I have become a foreigner(AB) in a foreign land.”
23 During that long period,(AC) the king of Egypt died.(AD) The Israelites groaned in their slavery(AE) and cried out, and their cry(AF) for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered(AG) his covenant(AH) with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned(AI) about them.
