1 Israel mite (hichu, Jacob chapate), ama insung mi cheh hin kipuija Egypt gam-sung'a apau toh kitollut ho min chu hicheng hi ahiuve:
Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
2 Reuben, simeon, Levi, Judah.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 Abonchauvin, Egypt gamsung'a Jacob chilhah chengse chu som sagi alhing'un chule Joseph vang agamsung'a ana um jingsa ahitai.
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Joseph le asopi chengse athigam tauvin, hiche khang mite se chu akichai tan ahi.
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 Ahinlah ason achilhah teu, Israel chate chun tu le cha tampi anei tauvin apung lheh jeng un, ahung hatdoh cheh cheh un gamsung pumpi ahin lodim tauve.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Egypt gamsunga chun Joseph chung chang thule ana toh ho hephalou leng thah khat thaneina ahung chang tan ahi.
Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 Amapa chun amite henga thu aseijin, “Vetem'un! Israel mite hi eiho sang'in apung'un chule eiho sang'in ahat lheh jeng tauve.
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Amaho hi apunbe lou na diuvin, tohgon khat nei tauhite. Achuti louva ahile hung hatdoh untin, chule gal hung um taleh, imelma teu ahin panpi diu eihin dou'uva gamsunga kon'a jamdoh ding ahiuve,” ati.
come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.
11 Hijeh chun Egypt miten Isarel chate jouse soh in amangcha tauvin, achung'uva toh vaipo mikhanse tah tah ho apan sah un, chutobang bolgim na soh natoh akon'a chu suhnem ding akinem'un, namphu chang'in lengpa thilkhol na ding Pithom leh Rameses khopi chu asah sah uvin ahi.
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 Ahinlah Egypt mite'n amaho asuhgim chan'un apungbe uvin akithejal cheh jo tauvin ahi, Egypt mite chu kichat nan aum jo tauvin ahi.
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 Chutah chun Egypt miten Israel mite chu ngailut na beihel'in thohgim hahsa athohsah uvin na atohsah un ahi.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
14 Aki manchah na jouse uva gimna alhun sah un, bon ngan achilsah un, leilhang asemsah un, loujaova natoh jouse atohsah un, atoh nalam jouseuva gimbolna achansah tauvin ahi.
and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.
15 Chuin Pharaoh, Egypt lengpan Hebrew mi nao dom teni Shiphrah leh Puah henga hiche thupeh hi aneiyin:
And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 “Hebrew numei hon nao anei uva nao dom'a napan teng lhon le, hichu phatah in vechil lhon in lang, naosen chu pasal ahileh natha lhon ding; numei ahile vang na hinghoi lhon ding ahi,” ati.
and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 Ama vang nao dom teni chun Pathen agin lhon jeh chun, lengpa thupeh chu anahsah lhon tapon, naosen pasal'a hungpeng lha ho jong chu ahinghoi lhon tan ahi.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
18 Chu in lengpan nao dom teni chu aheng'a akouvin, “Ipi jeh a hiche hi nabol lhon hitam?” tin adong'in, chule “Ipi jeh a naosen pasal ho chu, nahinghoi lhon ham?” tin ajah lhon'a aseiyin ahi.
And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?
19 Naodom tenin adonbut in “Hebrew numei ho hi Egypt numei hotoh abang pouve, amaho hi athoh hat un aheng'u akilhun masang'in amaho le ama ho beilam tah in ana ki doplhah jitauvin aphatchan kalap ji lhonpoi,” tin asei lhon'e.
And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.
20 Pathen chu naodom teni din aphalheh jeng'in, Israelte chu apungbe cheh cheh tauvin ahile, athanei nau jong ahung hatdoh cheh cheh jeng tan ahi.
And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 Naodom teni in Pathen agin lhon jeh chun, Pathen in amani chu ama a ama a ding cheh insung asem dohpeh lhon'in ahi.
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.
22 Chuin Pharaoh in amite jouse hiche thupeh hi aneiyin: “Hebrew naosen'a penglha pasal kiti phot chu Nile Vadung lam'a na pailhah jeng diu, ahin lah numeiya hung peng chengse vang chu hing hoiyun,” ati.
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
