The Israelites living in Egypt became so numerous that the Egyptians feared them and forced them into slavery. When the Pharaoh saw that the Israelites were having many children, he ordered that all Israelite baby boys be thrown into the Nile River. An Israelite woman placed her newborn son in a basket on the river to save him from being killed. Pharaoh's daughter discovered the baby and decided to adopt him, later allowing his biological mother to nurse him. The princess named the child Moses.

1. Orang-orang Mesir menjadi
takut terhadap orang-orang
Israel karena mereka sangat
banyak. Jadi, Firaun yang
waktu itu berkuasa di Mesir
menjadikan orang Israel
sebagai budak orang Mesir.
There were so many
Israelites in Egypt that the
Egyptians became afraid of
them. They decided to make
the Israelites their slaves.

2. Firaun melihat bahwa
orang Israel melahirkan
banyak bayi, sehingga dia
memerintahkan semua
bayi laki-laki orang Israel
dibunuh dengan
melemparkan mereka ke
dalam Sungai Nil.
The Pharaoh saw that the
Israelites had many
children so he told his
soldiers to throw all the
baby Israelite boys into the
Nile River.

3. Seorang di antara perempuan Israel melahirkan bayi laki-laki. Dia menaruhnya di
atas sebuah keranjang yang mengapung di tepi sungai Nil agar dia tidak dibunuh.
Kakak perempuannya melihat untuk mengetahui apa yang akan terjadi kepadanya.
An Israelite woman gave birth to a baby boy. She took a basket, put her baby on it
and put the basket on the river. The baby’s older sister stood nearby to see what
would happen to him.

4. Seorang putri Firaun
melihat keranjang itu dan
melihat ke dalam. Waktu
dia melihat bayi itu, dia
mengambilnya sebagai
anaknya sendiri.
Pharaoh's daughter came to
the river and saw the
basket. When she opened it
and discovered the baby,
she decided to adopt him.

5. Lalu kakak bayi itu bertanya
kepada putri raja, “Maukah Tuan
Putri saya carikan seorang ibu
Ibrani untuk menyusui bayi itu?”
“Baiklah,” jawab putri raja. Maka
pergilah gadis itu memanggil
ibunya sendiri.
Miriam, the child's sister, asked
the princess, "Should I get you
an Israelite nurse to help you
care for the baby?“
"Yes, please," the princess
replied. Miriam then went
and got her own mother.

6. Waktu anak itu sudah
cukup tua dan tidak
membutuhkan susu ibunya
lagi, dia mengembalikannya
kepada sang putri Firaun,
yang menamainya Musa.
The baby’s mother became
his nurse. When the child
was older, his mother
brought him to the palace.
The princess adopted him
and named him Moses.
