1

And there was a certain man of the tribe of Levi, who took to wife one of the daughters of Levi.

ΗΝ δέ τις ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Λευΐ, ὃς ἔλαβε τῶν θυγατέρων Λευΐ,

Бѧ́ше же нѣ́кто ѿ пле́мене леѵі́ина, и҆́же поѧ̀ ѿ дще́рей леѵі́иныхъ, и҆ и҆мѧ́ше ю҆̀:

2

And she conceived, and bore a male child; and having seen that he was fair, they hid him three months.

καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβε καὶ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν· ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸ ἀστεῖον ἐσκέπασαν αὐτὸ μῆνας τρεῖς.

и҆ зача̀ во чре́вѣ и҆ родѝ мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ. Ви́дѣвше же є҆го̀ лѣ́па, кры́ша є҆го̀ трѝ мцⷭ҇ы:

3

And when they could no longer hide him, his mother took for him an ark, and besmeared it with bitumen, and cast the child into it, and put it in the ooze by the river.

ἐπεὶ δὲ οὐκ ἠδύναντο αὐτὸ ἔτι κρύπτειν, ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ θῖβιν καὶ κατέχρισεν αὐτὴν ἀσφαλτοπίσσῃ καὶ ἐνέβαλε τὸ παιδίον εἰς αὐτὴν καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ἕλος παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν.

и҆ поне́же не можа́хꙋ є҆го̀ ктомꙋ̀ кры́ти, взѧ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ ковче́жецъ си́товый и҆ пома́за и҆̀ кле́емъ и҆ смоло́ю, и҆ вложѝ ѻ҆троча̀ въ него̀, и҆ положѝ є҆го̀ въ лꙋчи́цѣ при рѣцѣ̀:

4

And his sister was watching from a distance, to learn what would happen to him.

καὶ κατεσκόπευεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν μαθεῖν, τί τὸ ἀποβησόμενον αὐτῷ.

и҆ наблюда́ше сестра̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆здале́ча, да ᲂу҆вѣ́даетъ, что̀ бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀.

5

And the daughter of Pharao came down to the river to bathe; and her maids walked by the river’s side, and having seen the ark in the ooze, she sent her maid, and took it up.

κατέβη δὲ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ λούσασθαι ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμόν, καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς παρεπορεύοντο παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν. καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὴν θῖβιν ἐν τῷ ἕλει, ἀποστείλασα τὴν ἅβραν ἀνείλατο αὐτήν.

Сни́де же дще́рь фараѡ́нова и҆змы́тисѧ на рѣкꙋ̀, и҆ рабы̑ни є҆ѧ̀ прохожда́хꙋ при рѣцѣ̀. И҆ ви́дѣвши ковче́жецъ въ лꙋчи́цѣ, посла́вши рабы́ню, взѧ̀ и҆̀.

6

And having opened it, she sees the babe weeping in the ark: and the daughter of Pharao had compassion on it, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrew’s children.

ἀνοίξασα δὲ ὁρᾷ παιδίον κλαῖον ἐν τῇ θίβει, καὶ ἐφείσατο αὐτοῦ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ καὶ ἔφη· ἀπὸ τῶν παιδίων τῶν ῾Εβραίων τοῦτο.

Ѿве́рзши же, ви́дитъ ѻ҆троча̀ пла́чꙋщеесѧ въ ковче́жцѣ, и҆ пощадѣ̀ є҆̀ дще́рь фараѡ́нѧ, и҆ речѐ: ѿ дѣте́й є҆вре́йскихъ сїѐ.

7

And his sister said to the daughter of Pharao, Wilt thou that I call to thee a nurse of the Hebrews, and shall she suckle the child for thee?

καὶ εἶπεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραώ· θέλεις καλέσω σοι γυναῖκα τροφεύουσαν ἐκ τῶν ῾Εβραίων καὶ θηλάσει σοι τὸ παιδίον;

И҆ речѐ сестра̀ є҆гѡ̀ дще́ри фараѡ́новѣ: хо́щеши ли, призовꙋ́ ти женꙋ̀ корми́лицꙋ ѿ є҆врє́й, и҆ воздои́тъ тѝ ѻ҆троча̀;

8

And the daughter of Pharao said, Go: and the young woman went, and called the mother of the child.

ἡ δὲ εἶπεν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραώ· πορεύου. ἐλθοῦσα δὲ ἡ νεᾶνις ἐκάλεσε τὴν μητέρα τοῦ παιδίου.

И҆ речѐ є҆́й дще́рь фараѡ́нова: и҆дѝ. Ше́дши же ѻ҆трокови́ца, призва̀ ма́терь ѻ҆троча́те.

9

And the daughter of Pharao said to her, Take care of this child, and suckled it for me, and I will give thee the wages; and the woman took the child, and suckled it.

εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραώ· διατήρησόν μοι τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο καὶ θήλασόν μοι αὐτό, ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω σοι τὸν μισθόν. ἔλαβε δὲ ἡ γυνὴ τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἐθήλαζεν αὐτό.

Рече́ же къ не́й дще́рь фараѡ́нова: соблюди́ ми ѻ҆троча̀ сїѐ и҆ воздо́й мѝ є҆̀: а҆́зъ же да́мъ тѝ мздꙋ̀. Взѧ́ же ѻ҆троча̀ жена̀ и҆ доѧ́ше є҆̀.

10

And when the boy was grown, she brought him to the daughter of Pharao, and he became her son; and she called his name, Moses, saying, I took him out of the water.

ἀδρυνθέντος δὲ τοῦ παιδίου, εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸ πρὸς τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραώ, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῇ εἰς υἱόν· ἐπωνόμασε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῆν λέγουσα· ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος αὐτὸν ἀνειλόμην.

Возмꙋжа́вшꙋ же ѻ҆троча́ти, введѐ є҆̀ ко дще́ри фараѡ́новѣ, и҆ бы́сть є҆́й въ сы́на, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ мѡѷсе́й, глаго́лющи: ѿ воды̀ взѧ́хъ є҆го̀.

11

And it came to pass in that length of time, that Moses having grown, went out to his brethren the sons of Israel: and having noticed their distress, he sees an Egyptian smiting a certain Hebrew of his brethren the children of Israel.

᾿Εγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πολλαῖς ἐκείναις μέγας γενόμενος Μωυσῆς, ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραήλ. κατανοήσας δὲ τὸν πόνον αὐτῶν ὁρᾷ ἄνθρωπον Αἰγύπτιον τύπτοντά τινα ῾Εβραῖον τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφῶν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ·

Бы́сть же во дни̑ мнѡ́гїѧ ѡ҆́ны, вели́къ бы́въ мѡѷсе́й, и҆зы́де къ бра́тїѧмъ свои̑мъ, сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ. Разꙋмѣ́въ же болѣ́знь и҆́хъ, ви́дѣ человѣ́ка є҆гѵ́птѧнина бїю́ща нѣ́коего є҆вре́анина ѿ бра́тїи є҆гѡ̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.

12

And having looked round this way and that way, he sees no one; and he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

περιβλεψάμενος δὲ ὧδε καὶ ὧδε οὐχ ὁρᾷ οὐδένα καὶ πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ.

Ѡ҆бозрѣ́всѧ же сѣ́мѡ и҆ ѻ҆ва́мѡ, никого́же ви́дѣ: и҆ порази́въ є҆гѵ́птѧнина, скры̀ є҆го̀ въ песцѣ̀.

13

And having gone out the second day he sees two Hebrew men fighting; and he says to the injurer, Wherefore smitest thou thy neighbour?

ἐξελθὼν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ ὁρᾷ δύο ἄνδρας ῾Εβραίους διαπληκτιζομένους καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀδικοῦντι· διὰ τί σὺ τύπτεις τὸν πλησίον;

И҆зше́дъ же во вторы́й де́нь, ви́дѣ два̀ мꙋ̑жа є҆врє́анина бїю̑щасѧ и҆ глаго́ла ѡ҆би́дѧщемꙋ: чесѡ̀ ра́ди ты̀ бїе́ши и҆́скреннѧго;

14

And he said, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? wilt thou slay me as thou yesterday slewest the Egyptian? Then Moses was alarmed, and said, If [it be] thus, this matter has become known.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ᾿ ἡμῶν; μὴ ἀνελεῖν με σὺ θέλεις, ὃν τρόπον ἀνεῖλες χθὲς τὸν Αἰγύπτιον; ἐφοβήθη δὲ Μωυσῆς, καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ οὕτως ἐμφανὲς γέγονε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο;

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: кто́ тѧ поста́ви кнѧ́зѧ и҆ сꙋдїю̀ над̾ на́ми; є҆да̀ ᲂу҆би́ти мѧ̀ ты̀ хо́щеши, и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ ᲂу҆би́лъ є҆сѝ вчера̀ є҆гѵ́птѧнина; Оу҆боѧ́сѧ же мѡѷсе́й и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще си́це ꙗ҆вле́нъ бы́сть глаго́лъ се́й;

15

And Pharao heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses; and Moses departed from the presence of Pharao, and dwelt in the land of Madiam; and having come into the land of Madiam, he sat on the well.

ἤκουσε δὲ Φαραὼ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο καὶ ἐζήτει ἀνελεῖν Μωυσῆν· ἀνεχώρησε δὲ Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ προσώπου Φαραὼ καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Μαδιάμ, ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς γῆν Μαδιὰμ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος.

Оу҆слы́ша же фараѡ́нъ глаго́лъ се́й и҆ и҆ска́ше ᲂу҆би́ти мѡѷсе́а. Ѿи́де же мѡѷсе́й ѿ лица̀ фараѡ́нова и҆ всели́сѧ въ землѝ мадїа́мстѣй: прише́дъ же въ зе́млю мадїа́мскꙋю сѣ́де при кла́дѧзѣ.

16

And the priest of Madiam had seven daughters, feeding the flock of their father Jothor; and they came and drew water until they filled their pitchers, to water the flock of their father Jothor.

τῷ δὲ ἱερεῖ Μαδιὰμ ἦσαν ἑπτὰ θυγατέρες ποιμαίνουσαι τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ᾿Ιοθόρ· παραγενόμεναι δὲ ἤντλουν ἕως ἔπλησαν τὰς δεξαμενὰς ποτίσαι τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ᾿Ιοθόρ.

Свѧще́нникꙋ же мадїа́мскомꙋ бѣ́ша се́дмь дще́рей, пасꙋ́щихъ ѻ҆́вцы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ і҆оѳо́ра: прише́дшѧ же че́рпахꙋ, до́ндеже напо́лниша кѡры́та, напои́ти ѻ҆́вцы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ і҆оѳо́ра.

17

And the shepherds came, and were driving them away; and Moses rose up and rescued them, and drew water for them, and watered their sheep.

παραγενόμενοι δὲ οἱ ποιμένες ἐξέβαλλον αὐτάς· ἀναστὰς δὲ Μωυσῆς ἐρρύσατο αὐτὰς καὶ ἤντλησεν αὐταῖς καὶ ἐπότισε τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν·

Прише́дше же па́стырїе и҆згна́ша ѧ҆̀. Воста́въ же мѡѷсе́й и҆зба́ви и҆̀хъ, и҆ налїѧ̀ и҆̀мъ и҆ напоѝ ѻ҆́вцы и҆́хъ.

18

And they came to Raguel their father; and he said to them, Why have ye come so quickly to-day?

παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς Ῥαγουὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐταῖς· διατί ἐταχύνατε τοῦ παραγενέσθαι σήμερον;

Прїидо́ша же къ рагꙋи́лꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆скори́сте прїитѝ дне́сь;

19

And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the shepherds, and drew water for us and watered our sheep.

αἱ δὲ εἶπαν· ἄνθρωπος Αἰγύπτιος ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν ποιμένων καὶ ἤντλησεν ἡμῖν καὶ ἐπότισε τὰ πρόβατα ἡμῶν.

Ѻ҆́ныѧ же реко́ша: человѣ́къ є҆гѵ́птѧнинъ и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ па́стырей, и҆ наче́рпа на́мъ и҆ напоѝ ѻ҆́вцы на́шѧ.

20

And he said to his daughters, And where is he? and why have ye left the man? call him therefore, that he may eat bread.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ποῦ ἐστι; καὶ ἱνατί οὕτως καταλελοίπατε τὸν ἄνθρωπον; καλέσατε οὖν αὐτόν, ὅπως φάγῃ ἄρτον.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ дще́ремъ свои̑мъ: и҆ гдѣ́ є҆сть; и҆ вскꙋ́ю си́це ѡ҆ста́висте человѣ́ка; призови́те ᲂу҆̀бо є҆го̀, да ꙗ҆́стъ хлѣ́бъ.

21

And Moses was established with the man, and he gave Sepphora his daughter to Moses to wife.

κατῳκίσθη δὲ Μωυσῆς παρὰ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, καὶ ἐξέδοτο Σεπφώραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῇ γυναῖκα.

Всели́сѧ же мѡѷсе́й ᲂу҆ человѣ́ка: и҆ дадѐ сепфѡ́рꙋ дще́рь свою̀ мѡѷсе́ю въ женꙋ̀.

22

And the woman conceived and bore a son, and Moses called his name Gersam, saying, I am a sojourner in a strange land.

ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λαβοῦσα ἡ γυνὴ ἔτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐπωνόμασε Μωυσῆς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γηρσὰμ λέγων· ὅτι πάροικός εἰμι ἐν γῇ ἀλλοτρίᾳ.

Во чре́вѣ же заче́нши жена̀ родѝ сы́на, и҆ наречѐ мѡѷсе́й и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ гирса́мъ, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ пришле́цъ є҆́смь въ землѝ чꙋжде́й. Є҆ще́ же заче́нши родѝ сы́на втора́го, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆лїезе́ръ, глаго́лѧ: бг҃ъ бо ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ помо́щникъ мо́й и҆ и҆зба́ви мѧ̀ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ фараѡ́новы.

23

And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.

Μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου. καὶ κατεστέναξαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων καὶ ἀνεβόησαν, καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ βοὴ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων.

По дне́хъ же мно́гихъ тѣ́хъ, ᲂу҆́мре ца́рь є҆гѵ́петскїй, и҆ возстена́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѿ дѣ́лъ и҆ возопи́ша, и҆ взы́де во́пль и҆́хъ къ бг҃ꙋ ѿ дѣ́лъ.

24

And God heard their groanings, and God remembered his covenant made with Abraam and Isaac and Jacob.

καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν στεναγμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Θεὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ τῆς πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακώβ.

И҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша бг҃ъ стена́нїе и҆́хъ: и҆ помѧнꙋ̀ бг҃ъ завѣ́тъ сво́й и҆́же ко а҆враа́мꙋ и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ,

25

And God looked upon the children of Israel, and was made known to them.

καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς.

и҆ призрѣ̀ бг҃ъ на сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы, и҆ позна́нъ бы́сть и҆́ми.
