Exodus 1
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family.
Wen natul Jacob su welul som nu Egypt, wi sou lalos pa:
2 Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin,
Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad, ac Asher.
5 But Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls [born] of Jacob were seventy-five.
Pisen mwet inge nukewa su ma in fwil natul Jacob na suwohs, oasr ke mwet itngoul. Joseph, sie sin wen natul Jacob, el oasr tari in acn Egypt.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
7 And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.
tusruktu, fahko lun mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui oru elos oaclik acn nukewa in Egypt.
8 And there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
9 And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is stronger than we:
El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui. Nga luman sensen elos ac ku liki kut.
10 come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land.
Fin oasr mweun elos ac mau kupasryang nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr ac lain kut, ac elos ac ku in kaingla liki mutunfacl sesr. Kut enenu in akngusrikya suk sie inkanek in taranulos in tia puseni.”
11 And he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis.
Ouinge mwet Egypt sang kutu mwet kol lalos sifacna in akupayela orekma lalos. Mwet Israel inge pa musaela siti Pithom ac Rameses — siti lulap inge kalkalyak tuh in acn in karingin mongo ac kufwa nukewa nu sin tokosra.
12 But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.
Tusruktu finne yokelik mwe keok ma mwet Egypt sang aktoasrye mwet Israel kac, a pisen mwet Israel puseni liki meet ac osralik fin acn uh. Mwet Egypt mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Israel,
13 And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force.
oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
14 And they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.
Elos akorekmayalos in orek brick mwe musa, oayapa kain in orekma nukewa inima uh, ac oru arulana upa nu selos.
15 And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.
Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
16 And he said, When you do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.
El fahk nu seltal, “Ke komtal ac akisusye mutan Hebrew uh, fin ac tulik mukul se, na unilya; fin ac tulik mutan se, lela elan moul.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed them; and they saved the male children alive.
Tusruktu mutan akisus inge eltal etu in sangeng sin God, oru eltal tia aksol tokosra, a eltal fuhlela tulik mukul uh in moul.
18 And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that you have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?
Ouinge tokosra el sapla nu sin mutan akisus ah, ac siyuk seltal, “Efu komtal ku oru ange? Efu komtal ku fuhlela tulik mukul uh moul?”
19 And the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.
Eltal topuk, “Mutan Hebrew uh tia oana mutan Egypt uh, mweyen isus uh ma fisrasr se selos, oru tulik natulos isusla meet liki na mutan akisus uh sonolos.”
20 And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.
Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
21 And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.
Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
22 And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.
Na tokosra el sapelik nu sin mwet lal nukewa, “Tulik mukul Hebrew nukewa ma isusla, kowos sisla nu Infacl Nile, a lela tulik mutan uh in moul.”
