Gadili Asi 1
1 Ya: igobe egefelali ilia da e gilisili Idibidi sogega asi ilia dio da,
These were the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob) who came with him to Egypt along with their families:
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.
Jacob had 70 descendants there, 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.
Eventually 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.
However, the Israelites had many children and their numbers increased rapidly. In fact there were so many of them that they became very powerful—the country was full of 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 came to power who didn't know anything about Joseph.
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.
He conferred with his fellow Egyptians and said, “Look at these Israelites—there are more than them than us, and they're more powerful than 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.
We've got to make plan to deal with them before they become so many that if there's a war they'll side with our enemies and fight us, and flee 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 made them do forced labor and put taskmasters in charge of them. They used them to build the storage towns of Pithom and Rameses.
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 the Israelites were mistreated, the more they grew in numbers and spread out—and the more the Egyptians detested them.
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.
The Egyptians worked the Israelites brutally,
making their lives a misery. They made them do hard labor, building with mortar and brick, and all kind of heavy work in the fields. In all of this hard labor they treated them brutally.
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 gave orders to the Hebrew midwives, 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.”
He told them, “When you assist the Hebrew women during childbirth, if you see it's a boy, kill him; but if it's a girl, 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.
But because the midwives revered God, they didn't do what the king of Egypt had ordered. They let the boys live as well.
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: ?”
The king of Egypt called the midwives in and demanded to know, “Why have you done this— letting the male children 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.”
“Hebrew women aren't like Egyptian women,” the midwives told Pharaoh. “They give birth more easily—they have them before we midwives arrive.”
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.
God treated the midwives well, and the people increased in number so there were even more of them.
Because the midwives revered 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 issued this order to all his people: “Throw every Hebrew boy that's born into the Nile, but let every girl live.”
