Gadili Asi 1
1 Ya: igobe egefelali ilia da e gilisili Idibidi sogega asi ilia dio da,
These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
2 Liubene, Simiane, Lifai, Yuda,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Isiga, Sebiulane, Bediamini,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Da: ne, Na: fadalai, Ga: de amola A: sie.
Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 Ya: igobe egaga fi huluane ilia idi da 70. Egefe Yousefe da Idibidi ganodini esalu.
The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
6 Ode da asili, Yousefe amola yolalali da bogoi. Amola eno dunu huluane ili defele lalelegei da bogoi.
Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 Be iligaga fi (Isala: ili fi dunu) da mano bagohame lalelegei. Ilia idi da bagade heda: i amola ilia da gasa fi agoane ba: i. Idibidi soge da Isala: ili dunu amoga nabaiwane ba: i.
but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8 Amalalu, Felou gaheabolo da Idibidi soge ganodini hina bagade esalebe ba: i. E da Yousefe hame dawa: i galu.
Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
9 E da ea fi ilima amane sia: i, “Wali Isala: ili dunu da bagohame amola gasa bagade ba: sa. Ilia da ninima hasalasimu agoai galebe.
“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
10 Ninima ha lai dunu da ninima doagala: sea, Isala: ili dunu da ninima ha lai dunu gilisisa: besa: le amola Idibidi yolesili hobeasa: besa: le, ninia ili idi amo fonoboma: ne logo hogomu da defea.
Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
11 Amaiba: le, Idibidi dunu da gasa fi ouligisu dunu Isala: ili dunu udigili gasa bagade hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne ilima asunasi. Isala: ili dunu da moilai bai bagade aduna amo Bidome amola La: misisi gagui. Amo moilai bai bagade aduna da Felou ea liligi ligisisu agoane ba: i.
So the Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. As a result, they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
12 Idibidi dunu da Isala: ili dunu fi baligili se nabasu i. Be Isala: ili fi da hame fonoboi. Ilia bu baligili heda: i amola Idibidi soge huluane amoga fi bagade ba: i.
But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
13 Idibidi dunu da Isala: ili dunuma beda: i galu. Amaiba: le, ilia da Isala: ili dunu se nabima: ne, ilima gasa fi hamone, ili da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu ba: i. Idibidi fi da Isala: ili dunu ilia diasu gaguma: ne amola ifabi hawa: hamoma: ne logei. Ilia da Isala: ili dunuma hamedafa asigisu.
They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.
15 Amalalu, Idibidi Felou da Sifala amola Bua (amo da mano lasu fidisu uda aduna ela da Hibulu uda fidisu) elama amane sia: i,
Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16 “Alia da Hibulu uda ilia mano lalelegesu hou fidisia, mano lai da dunu mano ba: sea, amo fanelegema. Be uda mano ba: sea, mae fanelegema.”
“When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them on the birthstools. If the child is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter, let her live.”
17 Be mano lasu fidisu uda da Godema dawa: i. Amaiba: le, ela da Felou ea sia: hame nabi. Ela da dunu mano hame fanelegei.
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
18 Amaiba: le, Felou da mano lasu fidisu uda ema misa: ne sia: ne, elama amane sia: i, “Alia da abuliba: le agoane hamosala: ? Abuliba: le dunu mano hame fanelegesala: ?”
So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 Ela da bu adole i, “Hibulu uda da Idibidi uda defele hame hamosa. Ilia mano da hedolowane lalelegesa. Ania da mae doaga: le, ilia mano da lalelegei dagoi ba: sa.”
The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
20 Mano lasu fidisu uda da Godema beda: iba: le, Gode da ela hahawane ba: i. Gode da elama sosogo fi mano i dagoi. Isala: ili dunu ilia idi da bu bagade heda: i amola ilia gasa bagade fi agoane ba: i.
So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
22 Amo ba: beba: le, Felou da ea fi dunu huluane ilima hamoma: ne sia: i hamoi dagoi. E amane sia: i, “Dilia Hibulu dunu mano gaheabolo lalelegei ba: sea, amo lale, Naile hano amoga bogoma: ne ha: digima. Uda mano fawane mae fanelelegema.”
Then Pharaoh commanded all his people: “Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live.”
