Esodo 2

Studie

   

1 OR un uomo della famiglia di Levi andò, e prese per moglie una figliuola di Levi.

2 E quella donna concepette, e partorì un figliuolo; e, veggendolo bello, lo tenne nascosto lo spazio di tre mesi.

3 Ma non potendo più tenerlo nascosto, ella prese una cestella fatta di giunchi, e la impiastrò di bitume e di pece; e, postovi dentro il fanciullo, la mise nella giuncaia, in su la riva del fiume.

4 E la sorella del fanciullo se ne stava da lungi, per saper ciò che gli avverrebbe.

5 Or la figliuola di Faraone discese per bagnarsi nel fiume; e le sue donzelle passeggiavano su la riva del fiume; ed ella vide quella cestella per mezzo la giuncaia, e mandò una sua servente, e la fece torre.

6 E apertala vide quel bambino; ed ecco, il fanciullo piangeva; ed ella ne ebbe compassione, e disse: Questo fanciullo è de’ figliuoli degli Ebrei.

7 E la sorella di esso disse alla figliuola di Faraone: Andrò io a chiamarti una balia d’infra le donne Ebree, che ti allatti questo fanciullo?

8 E la figliuola di Faraone le disse: Va’. E la fanciulla andò, e chiamò la madre del fanciullo.

9 E la figliuola di Faraone disse: Portane questo fanciullo, e allattamelo, ed io ti darò il tuo salario. E quella donna prese il fanciullo, e lo allattò.

10 E quando il fanciullo fu grande, ella lo menò alla figliuola di Faraone, ed esso le fu in luogo di figliuolo, ed ella gli pose nome Mosè; perciocchè, disse ella, io lo ho tratto fuor delle acque.

11 Or in quel tempo, essendo Mosè già divenuto grande, avvenne ch’egli uscì fuori a’ suoi fratelli, e vide le lor gravezze; e vide un Egizio che percuoteva un uomo Ebreo de’ suoi fratelli.

12 E avendo riguardato qua e là, e veduto, che non v’era nissuno, percosse quell’Egizio, e lo nascose nel sabbione.

13 E il giorno seguente egli uscì ancora fuori; ed ecco, due uomini Ebrei contendevano insieme. Ed egli disse a colui che avea il torto: Perchè percuoti il tuo prossimo?

14 E colui gli rispose: Chi ti ha costituito principe e giudice sopra noi? pensi tu di uccider me, come uccidesti quell’Egizio? E Mosè temette, e disse: Per certo la cosa si è saputa.

15 E Faraone udì questa cosa, e cercò Mosè per ucciderlo; ma Mosè se ne fuggì dal cospetto di Faraone, e si fermò nel paese di Madian, ove si pose a sedere presso ad un pozzo.

16 Or il sacerdote di Madian avea sette figliuole; le quali vennero, e attinsero dell’acqua, ed empierono gli abbeveratoi, per abbeverar le gregge del lor padre.

17 E i pastori sopraggiunsero, e scacciarono le gregge; ma Mosè si levò, e soccorse quelle fanciulle, e abbeverò le lor gregge.

18 Ed elleno se ne vennero a Reuel, lor padre; ed egli disse loro: Perchè siete voi oggi così presto ritornate?

19 Ed elleno risposero: Un uomo Egizio ci ha riscosse dalle mani de’ pastori, e anche ci ha attinto dell’acqua abbondantemente, ed ha abbeverate le gregge.

20 Ed egli disse alla sue figliuole: E dov’è egli? perchè avete lasciato là quell’uomo? chiamatelo, che prenda cibo.

21 E Mosè acconsentì di dimorar con quell’uomo: ed egli diede a Mosè Sippora, sua figliuola.

22 Ed ella partorì un figliuolo, ed egli gli pose nome Ghersom; perciocchè disse: Io sono stato forestiere in paese strano.

23 Or avvenne che in quel mezzo tempo, che fu lungo, il re di Egitto morì; e i figliuoli d’Israele sospirarono per la servitù, e gridarono; e le lor grida, che gittarono per la servitù, salirono a Dio.

24 E Iddio intese i loro stridi, e si ricordò del suo patto con Abrahamo, con Isacco, e con Giacobbe.

25 E Iddio riguardò a’ figliuoli d’Israele, e ne prese conoscenza.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

6713. Exodus 2

1. And a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi .

2. And the woman conceived and bore a son; and she saw that he was good, 1 and hid him three months.

3. And she could not hide him any longer; and she took for him a box made of rush, and coated it with bitumen and pitch, and put the child in it, and put [him] in the weed at the bank of the river.

4. And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would happen to him.

5. And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to wash at the river; and her maidservants were going along the side of the river. And she saw the box in the middle of the weed, and sent her servant-girl; and she took it.

6. And she opened it, and saw him, the child; and behold, the boy was crying. And she took pity on him, and said, This is one of the children of the Hebrews.

7. And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call you a woman, a wet nurse, from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?

8. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and called the child's mother.

9. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take to yourself this child and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages. And the woman took the child and nursed him.

10. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he was a son to her. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.

11. And it happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and saw their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man, one of his brothers.

12. And he looked this way and that, and saw that there was no man; and he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13. And he went out the second day, and behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling; and he said to the one in the wrong, Why are you striking your companion?

14. And he said, Who set you up as a man-prince and a judge over us? Do you intend 2 to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses was afraid, and said, Surely the matter is known!

15. And Pharaoh heard of this matter and sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from before Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he dwelt next to a well.

16. And the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17. And the shepherds came and drove them away; and Moses rose up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18. And they came to Reuel their father, and he said, Why have you hastened to come today?

19. And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he even drew water for us, and watered the flock.

20. And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that you left the man? Call him, and let him eat bread.

21. And Moses was willing to dwell with the man; and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

22. And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I am a stranger in a foreign land.

23. And it happened in [the course of] these many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of their hard service, and cried out; and their cry came up to God because of their hard service.

24. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

25. And God saw the children of Israel, and God knew [them].
