Exodus 1
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.
EIA na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela, i hele aku me Iakoba i Aigupita, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele aku me ko ka hale ona.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
O Reubena, o Simeona, o Levi, o Iuda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
O Isakara, o Zebuluna, o Beniamina,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
O Dana, o Napetali, o Gada a o Asera.
5 All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons: and Joseph had come to Egypt before them.
O na mea ola a pau i puka mai ai, mai loko ae o ko Iakoba puhaka, he kanahiku lakou; a ma Aigupita no o Iosepa.
6 Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
A make iho la o Iosepa, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau, a me ia hanauna a pau.
7 And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.
Hanau nui iho la na mamo a Iseraela, a laha loa ae la, a kawowo loa: ua nui loa ko lakou ikaika, a ua piha hoi ka aina ia lakou.
8 Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
A ku mai la kekahi alii hou ma Aigupita, aole i ike ia Iosepa.
9 And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are:
I mai la ia i kona poe kanaka, Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka nui o na kanaka mamo a Iseraela, a me ko lakou ikaika i ko kakou.
10 Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land.
E hana maalea kakou ia lakou; o nui auanei lakou, a hiki mai ke kaua, huipu lakou me ko kakou poe enemi, a e kaua mai hoi ia kakou, a pela ia lakou e pii aku ai mai ka aina aku.
11 So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
A hoonoho aku lakou i na luna hooluhi maluna o lakou, i mea e hookaumaha loa ai ia lakou i na haua nui. A hana iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale papaa no Parao, o Pitoma, a o Ramese.
12 But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians.
E like me ko lakou hooluhi ana mai, pela no hoi ko lakou nei mahuahua, a me ka palahalaha ana aku. A makau loa lakou i na mamo a Iseraela.
13 And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do:
Hoohana iho la ko Aigupita i na mamo a Iseraela me ka hookoikoi.
14 And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.
Hooawahia iho la lakou i ko lakou nei ola ana i ka hana luhi iloko o ka palolo, a i na pohakulepo, a me na hana a pau ma ka mahinaai: a o ka hana a pau a lakou i hoohana iho ai ia lakou nei, he mea koikoi ia.
15 And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),
Olelo mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki Hebera, o Sipera ka inoa o kekahi, a o Pua hoi ka inoa o kekahi;
16 When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.
I mai la, A i palekeiki olua i na wahine Hebera, a nana olua iloko o na paholoi; ina he keikikane ia, alaila e pepehi olua ia ia; aka ina he kaikamahine, e ola no ia.
17 But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.
Aka, makau iho la na palekeiki i ke Akua; aole laua i hana i ka mea a ke alii o Aigupita i kauoha ai in laua; aka, hoola ae la laua i na keikikane.
18 And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?
Kii mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki, i mai la ia laua, No ke aha la olua i hana'i i keia mea, a hoola i na keikikane?
19 And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.
I aku la na palekeiki ia Parao, No ka mea, aole i like na wahine Hebera me ko Aigupita poe wahine, he hiki wawe ko lakou, aole e hiki aku na palekeiki, a hanau e no lakou.
20 And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.
A hoomaikai mai la ke Akua i na palekeiki: a mahuahua aku la na kanaka, a ua nui loa no hoi ko lakou ikaika.
21 And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.
A no ka makau ana o na palekeiki i ke Akua, a no kona hoomahuahua ana i ko lakou mau ohana,
22 And Pharaoh gave orders to all his people, saying, Every son who comes to birth is to be put into the river, but every daughter may go on living.
Kauoha ae la o Parao i kona poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, O na keikikane a pau ke hanau mai, e kiola aku ia lakou i ka muliwai, aka, o na kaikamahine a pau, ka oukou ia e hoola ai.
