1After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.Dopo queste cose un uomo della famiglia di Levi andò: e prese per moglie una donna del suo lignaggio:AFTER th•se thinges there came forth a man of the house of Leui: and he tooke a wife of his owne stocke.Egressus est post hæc vir de domo Levi: et accepit uxorem stirpis suæ. 2And she conceived, and bore a son: and seeing him a goodly child, hid him three months.La quale concepì, e partorì un figliuolo: e veggendo com'egli era bello, lo nascose per tre mesi.Who conceaued, and •are a sonne: and seing him a goodlie one, hid him three monethes.Quæ concepit, et peperit filium: et videns eum elegantem, abscondit tribus mensibus. 3And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river’s brink,E non potendo più celarlo, prese un canestro fatto di giunchi, e lo inverniciò con pece e bitume: e vi pose dentro il piccol bambino, e lo espose in mezzo ai giunchi presso alla riva del fiume,And when now she could not conceale him, she tooke a basket made of b•••ishes, and dawbed it with bitume and pitch: and put with in it the litle infant, and laid him in a sedgie place by the riuers brinke,Cumque jam celare non posset, sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam, et linivit eam bitumine ac pice: posuitque intus infantulum, et exposuit eum in carecto ripæ fluminis, 4His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.Stando in lontananza la sorella di lui ad osservare quello che ne avvenisse.his sister standing a farre of, and considering the euent of the thing.stante procul sorore ejus, et considerante eventum rei. 5And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river’s brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,Quand'ecco la figliuola di Faraone che veniva a lavarsi nel fiume: e le sue cameriere camminavano lungo il canale. Ed ella avendo veduto il canestro tra i giunchi, mandò una delle sue cameriere a prenderlo:And behold the daughter of Pharao came downe to she was 〈◊〉 in the riuer and her maides walked by the riuers brinke. Who when she saw the basket in the sedges•, she sent one of her handmaides: and when it was broughtEcce 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 6She opened it, and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it, she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.E scopertolo, e veduto in essa il fanciullo, che vagiva, n'ebbe compassione, e disse: Questo è un bambino degli Ebrei.opening it, and seeing within it an infant crying, hauing pitty on it, said: This is one of the infantes of the Hebrewes.aperiens, cernensque in ea parvulum vagientem, miserta ejus, ait: De infantibus Hebræorum est hic.

7And the child’s sister said to her: Shall I go, and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe?E la sorella del bambino le disse: Vuoi tu ch'io vada a chiamarti una donna Ebrea, che allevi il bambino?To whom the childes sister said: Wilt thou that I goe, & ca••ro thee an Hebrew woman, that may nurse the litle infant?Cui soror pueri: Vis, inquit, ut vadam, et vocem tibi mulierem hebræam, quæ nutrire posset infantulum ? 8She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.Rispose quella: Va'. Andò la fanciulla, e chiamò sua madre.She answered: Goe. The maid went and called her mother.Respondit: Vade. Perrexit puella et vocavit matrem suam. 9And Pharao’s daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao’s daughter.E a lei la figlia di Faraone: Prendi, disse, questo bambino, e allevamelo; e io ti darò il tuo baliatico. Lo prese la donna, e allattò il bambino: e quando fu grande, lo diede alla figlia di Faraone.To whom Pharaos daughter speaking Take, quoth 〈◊〉, this child, and nurse him for me: I wil geue thee thy hyre. The woman tooke, and nursed the child: and when he was growen, deliuered him to Pharaos daughter.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. 10And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.Ed ella lo adottò in figliuolo, e gli pose nome Mosè, dicendo: Io lo trassi dall'acqua.Whom she adopted into the place of a sonne, and called him Moyses, saying: Because from the water I did take him.Quem illa adoptavit in locum filii, vocavitque nomen ejus Moyses, dicens: Quia de aqua tuli eum. 11In those days, after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews, his brethren.In tempo che Mosè era già diventato grande, andò a trovare i suoi fratelli: e vide la loro afflizione, e un uomo Egiziano, che maltrattava uno degli Ebrei suoi fratelli.In those dayes after that Moyses was growen, he went forth to his brethren: and he saw their affliction, and a man that was an Aegyptian striking one of the Hebrewes his brethren.In diebus illis postquam creverat Moyses, egressus est ad fratres suos: viditque afflictionem eorum, et virum ægyptium percutientem quemdam de Hebræis fratribus suis. 12And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.E avendo girati gli occhi di qua e di là, e veduto, che nissuno era presente, ucciso l'Egiziano, lo seppellì nella sabbia.And when he had looked about hither & thither, and saw no man present, he stroke the Aegyptian, and hid him in the sand.Cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc, et nullum adesse vidisset, percussum Ægyptium abscondit sabulo.

13And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?E andatovi il dì seguente, vide due Ebrei, che erano in rissa: e disse a quello che faceva ingiuria: Per qual motivo maltratti il tuo prossimo?And going forth an other day, he saw two Hebrewes brawling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?Et egressus die altero conspexit duos Hebræos rixantes: dixitque ei qui faciebat injuriam: Quare percutis proximum tuum ? 14But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known?Quegli rispose: Chi ti ha costituito principe, e giudice sopra di noi? vuoi tu forse uccidermi, come ieri ammazzasti l'Egiziano? Temé Mosè, e disse: Come mai è venuta a scoprirsi tal cosa?Who answered: Who hath appointed thee prince & iudge ouer vs? Wilt thou kil me, as yesterday thou didest the Aegyptian? Moyses feared, and said: How is this thing come abroad?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 ? 15And Pharao heard of this word, and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.E fu informato Faraone del fatto, e cercava di uccider Mosè: il quale fuggendo dal cospetto di lui andò a stare nella terra di Madian, e si pose a sedere vicino a un pozzo.And Pharao heard of this talke, and sought to kil Moyses: who fleeing from his sight, abode in the Land of Madian, and sate beside a wel.Audivitque Pharao sermonem hunc, et quærebat occidere Moysen: qui fugiens de conspectu ejus, moratus est in terra Madian, et sedit juxta puteum. 16And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father’s flocks.Or un sacerdote di Madian avea sette figlie, le quali vennero ad attinger acqua: e avendo empiuti i canali volevano abbeverare i greggi del padre loro.And the priest of Madian had seuen daughters, which were come to draw water: and when the troughes were filled, they desired to water their fathers flockes.Erant autem sacerdoti Madian septem filiæ, quæ venerunt ad hauriendam aquam: et impletis canalibus adaquare cupiebant greges patris sui. 17And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.Ma sopraggiunsero de' pastori, i quali le discacciarono: e Mosè si levò su, e prese la difesa delle fanciulle, e abbeverò le loro pecore.The shepeheardes came vpon them, and droue them away: and Moyses arose, and defending the maides, watered their sheepe.Supervenere pastores, et ejecerunt eas: surrexitque Moyses, et defensis puellis, adaquavit oves earum.

18And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?E tornate che furon queste a casa di Raguele padre loro, disse egli: Come siete tornate più presto del solito?Who being returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are you come sooner then you were woont?Quæ cum revertissent ad Raguel patrem suum, dixit ad eas: Cur velocius venistis solito ? 19They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.Risposero: Un uomo egiziano ci ha salvate dalle mani dei pastori: e di più ha dato di mano ad attingere acqua con noi, e ha abbeverato le pecore.They answered: A certaine man an Aegyptian deliuered vs from the hand of the shepheardes: moreouer also he drew water with vs, and gaue the sheepe to drinke.Responderunt: Vir ægyptius liberavit nos de manu pastorum: insuper et hausit aquam nobiscum, potumque dedit ovibus. 20But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.E quegli: Dov'è? disse. Perché lo avete lasciato partire? chiamatelo a mangiare del pane.But he said: Where is he? Why haue you let the man goe? cal him that he may eate bread.At ille: Ubi est ? inquit: quare dimisistis hominem ? vocate eum ut comedat panem. 21And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:Mosè adunque fe' giuramento di dimorare in sua casa: e prese per moglie Sephora sua figliuola.Therfore Moyses sware that he would dwel with him. And he tooke Sephora his daughter to wife:Juravit ergo Moyses quod habitaret cum eo. Accepitque Sephoram filiam ejus uxorem: 22And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.La quale gli partorì un figliuolo, a cui pose nome Gersam, dicendo: Sono stato pellegrino in terra straniera. Ne partorì poi un altro, cui chiamò Eliezer, dicendo: Il Dio del padre mio mi ha soccorso, e liberato dal potere di Faraone.who bare him a sonne, whom he called Gersam, saying: I haue bene a stranger in a forren countrey. And she bare an other, whom he called Eliezer, saying: for the God of my father my helper hath deliuered me out of the hand of Pharao.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. 23Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.Di lì a molto tempo morì il re d'Egitto: e gemendo i figliuoli d'Israele sotto i travagli alzaron le grida: e i loro clamori per ragion dei travagli salirono a Dio.But after much time the king of Aegypt died: and the children of Israel groning, cried out because of the workes: and their crie ascended vnto God from the workes.Post multum vero tempore mortuus est rex Ægypti: et ingemiscentes filii Israël, propter opera vociferati sunt: ascenditque clamor eorum ad Deum ab operibus.

24And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.Ed egli udì i loro sospiri, e si ricordò del patto fermato con Abramo, con Isacco, e con Giacobbe.And he heard their groning, & remembred the couenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob.Et audivit gemitum eorum, ac recordatus est fœderis quod pepigit cum Abraham, Isaac et Jacob. 25And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.E il Signore volse gli occhi a' figliuoli d'Israele, e li riconobbe.And our Lord looked vpon the children of Israel and knew them.Et respexit Dominus filios Israël et cognovit eos.
