< 出埃及記 1 >

1 以色列的兒子們,各帶了家眷,同雅各伯來到埃及;他們的名字記載如下:
Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe haʻu ki ʻIsipite; ʻae tangata kotoa pē mo ʻene kau nofoʻanga naʻe haʻu mo Sēkope.
2 勒烏本、西默盎、勒末和猶大,
Ko Lupeni mo Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta,
3 依撒加爾,則步隆和本雅明丹,
Mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Penisimani,
4 和納裴塔里,加得和阿協爾。
Mo Tani, mo Nafitali, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli.
5 他們全是雅各伯所生的,一共七十人;若瑟那時已經在埃及。
Pea ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻia Sēkope, ko e laumālie ʻe toko fitungofulu: he naʻe ʻi ʻIsipite ʻa Siosefa.
6 若瑟和他的眾兄弟,以及這一代的人死了以後,
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosefa, mo hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia.
7 以色列的子孫生育繁殖,數目增多,極其強盛,佈滿了那地。受壓迫
Pea naʻe fanafanau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tupu pe ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, ʻonau hoko ʻo mālohi ʻaupito: pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻiate kinautolu.
8 有位不認識若瑟的新王興起,統治了埃及。
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae tuʻi foʻou ke pule ki ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻa Siosefa.
9 他對自己的人民說:「看以色列子民,比我們又多又強。
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Vakai, ko e kakai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku tokolahi hake, pea ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kitautolu:
10 來,我們要用智謀對付他們,免得他們繁盛起來,一遇戰爭,就去與我們的敵人聯合,攻擊我們,然後離開此地。」
Ko eni, ke tau fai fakapotopoto kiate kinautolu; telia naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hoko ha tau, tenau kau mo hotau fili, ʻo tauʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe hiki ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.”
11 於是派定督工管制他們,以苦役壓迫他們,叫他們給法朗建築丕通和辣默色斯兩做貯貨城。
Ko ia naʻa nau fakanofo ai ʻae kau enginaki ngāue ke fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kavenga. Pea naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae kolo tukungakoloa ʻe ua moʻo Felo; ko Pitomi, mo Lamisisi.
12 但是越壓迫他們,他們越增多,也越繁殖,以至埃及人都怕以色列子民。
Ka neongo ʻae ʻāsili fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tupu pe ʻo fuʻu tokolahi hake. Pea naʻe mamahi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
13 於是埃及人更嚴厲地強迫以色列子民做苦工,
Pea naʻe houtonga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite.
14 強迫他們作和泥做磚的苦工,田間的一切勞工,以及種種苦工,使他們的生活十分痛苦。殘害男嬰
‌ʻO nau fakamamahiʻi ʻenau moʻui ʻi he [ngāue ]pōpula ki he kelepulu, mo e makaʻumea, mo e ngāue kehekehe ʻi he ngoue: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau pule kenau fai, naʻe fakamamahi.
15 埃及王又吩咐為希伯來女人接生的收生婆,一個名叫史斐辣,一個名叫普亞的說
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he kau māʻuli ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sifila, mo e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Piua:
16 「你們為希伯來女人接生時,要看著她們臨盆! 若是男孩,就殺死;若是女孩,就讓她活著。」
‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOka mo ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻuli ki he kau fefine Hepelū, ʻo mamata ki heʻenau fāʻele; kapau ko e tama tangata, te mo tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau ko e taʻahine, pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
17 但是收生婆敬畏天主,沒有照埃及王的吩咐去作,保留了男孩的性命。
Ka naʻe manavahē ʻae ongo māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinaua, ka naʻa na fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata.
18 埃及王將收生婆召來,問她們說:「你們為什麼這樣做,竟叫男孩活著呢﹖」
Pea fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke haʻu ʻae ongo māʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā kuo mo fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kuo mo fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata?”
19 ‧收收婆回答法朗說:「希伯來女人和埃及女人不同,她們富有生機,收生婆還沒有來,她們已生產了。」
Pea talaange ʻe he ongo māʻuli kia Felo, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tatau ʻae kau fefine Hepelū mo e kau fefine ʻIsipite; he ʻoku nau mālohi, pea ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko atu ʻae kau māʻuli kiate kinautolu.”
20 天主遂恩待了收生婆。以色列的子民更加增多起來,更加強盛。
Ko ia naʻe fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ongo māʻuli: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae kakai, ʻo fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi lahi.
21 因為收生婆敬畏天主,天主就使她們家門興旺。
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻae kau māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu ai hona fale.
22 法朗於是訓令他的全體人民說:「凡希伯來人所生的男孩,你們應把他丟在尼羅河裏;凡是女孩,留她活著! 」
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ki hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fāʻeleʻi te mou lī ia ki he vaitafe, pea ko e fānau fefine kotoa pē te mou fakamoʻui.”
