2 Mojžišova 1
1 Tato jsou pak jména synů Izraelských, kteříž vešli do Egypta s Jákobem; každý s čeledí svou přišel:
The sons of Jacob who went to Egypt with him along with their families were
2 Ruben, Simeon, Léví a Juda;
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Izachar, Zabulon a Beniamin;
Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan a Neftalím, Gád a Asser.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 A bylo všech osob pošlých z bedr Jákobových sedmdesáte duší; Jozef pak byl v Egyptě.
Altogether there were 70 people [who went with] Jacob. That included his [sons, his grandsons, and two great-grandsons]. [His son] Joseph was already in Egypt.
6 I umřel Jozef a všickni bratří jeho, a všecken ten rod.
[Eventually] Joseph and his [older and younger] brothers and everyone [else in their family who lived] (in that generation/at that time) died.
7 Synové pak Izraelští rozmnožili se a rodili se v hojnosti; a rozhojňovali se, i zsilili se náramně velmi, a naplněna jest jimi země.
But Jacob’s descendants kept giving birth to many children [IDM]. The number [of his descendants] kept becoming larger and larger. As a result, there were so many of them that they were everywhere in Egypt (OR, that they [became a threat] to the Egyptians).
8 V tom povstal král nový v Egyptě, kterýž neznal Jozefa.
Then [several hundred years later], a new king began to rule [MTY] in Egypt. He did not know [what] Joseph [had done for the people of Egypt long ago].
9 Ten řekl lidu svému: Aj, lid synů Izraelských jest mnohý a silnější nad nás.
He said to his people, “Look [at what has happened]! The Israeli people have become so numerous and so powerful that they [now might conquer] us!
10 Nuže, opatrně sobě počínejme před ním, aby se nerozmohl; a když by přišla válka, aby se nepřipojil i on k nepřátelům našim, a nebojoval proti nám, a nevyšel z země.
We must find a way to control them! If we do not do that, their population will continue to grow. Then, if enemies [PRS] attack us, they will join with our enemies and fight against us, and they will escape from [our] land.”
11 Protož ustanovili nad ním úředníky, kteříž by plat vybírali, aby je trápili břemeny svými. I vystavěl lid Izraelský Faraonovi města skladů, Fiton a Ramesses.
So [the king and his officials] put supervisors over the Israeli people to cause them to suffer very much by [forcing them] to work very hard. They forced [the Israeli people to] build [two] cities, Pithom and Ramses, in which to store [supplies for the king/government].
12 Ale čím více trápili jej, tím více rostl a tím se více rozmáhal. I vzali sobě syny Izraelské v ošklivost.
But the more cruelly they treated the [Israeli people], the bigger the Israeli [population] grew, and they became more numerous all over [the land]. So the Egyptian people began to be afraid of the Israeli people.
13 A tak podrobovali Egyptští syny Izraelské v službu těžkou.
They forced the Israeli people to work very hard,
14 A k hořkosti přivodili život jejich robotami těžkými, v hlině a cihlách a ve všelijakém díle na poli, mimo všelikou potřebu svou, k níž práce jejich užívali nenáležitě a bez lítosti.
and by making them slaves, they made their lives miserable. They [forced them] to [build many buildings with] mortar and bricks. [They also forced them to do] other work in the fields. [In making them do all this work, the Egyptian officials treated them] ruthlessly/cruelly.
15 I poručil král Egyptský babám Hebrejským, z nichž jedna sloula Sefora a druhá Fua,
There were two Hebrew (midwives/women who helped the women when they were giving birth). [Hebrew means the same as Israeli.] The names of the women were Shiphrah and Puah. The king of Egypt said to [those two women],
16 A řekl: Když budete pomáhati ženám Hebrejským při porodu, a uzříte, že již rodí, byl-li by syn, zabíte ho, pakli dcera, tedy ať jest živa.
“When you help the Hebrew women when they are giving birth [MTY], if [the baby that is born] is a boy, you must kill it. If [the baby] is a girl, you (may let it live/do not have to kill them).”
17 Bály se pak ty baby Boha, a nečinily tak, jakž jim poručil král Egyptský, ale živých nechávaly pacholíků.
But the midwives feared/revered God. So they did not do what the king told them to do. They allowed the baby boys to live.
18 Povolav tedy bab král Egyptský, mluvil jim: Proč jste to učinily, že jste živé zachovaly pacholíky?
So the king summoned the [two] midwives and said to them, “Why are you doing this? Why are you letting the baby boys live?”
19 I odpověděly baby Faraonovi: Nejsou ženy Hebrejské jako ženy Egyptské; nebo ony jsou silnějšího přirození. Dříve než přijde k nim baba, ony porodí.
[One of] the midwives replied to the king, “[You need to realize that] the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. The Hebrew women are very strong/healthy. They give birth [to their babies] before we can get to them [to help them].”
20 I učinil dobře Bůh těm babám. A rozmnožen jest lid, a zsilili se velmi.
So God acted kindly toward the midwives, and the [Hebrew] people became even more numerous and strong.
21 Stalo se pak proto, že se bály baby ty Boha, vzdělal jim domy.
Furthermore, because the midwives feared/revered God, he enabled them also to give birth to children.
22 I přikázal Farao všemu lidu svému, řka: Každého syna, kterýž se narodí, do řeky uvrzte; každé pak dcery nechte živé.
Then the king commanded all (the [Egyptian] people/his [advisors]): “You must throw into the Nile [River] every baby boy born that the [Hebrew women] give birth to! But you can allow the baby girls to live.”
