Exodus 1
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel, who went into Egypt with Jacob. They entered, each one with his house:
Сия имена сынов Израилевых, входящих во Египет вкупе со Иаковом отцем их, кийждо со всем домом своим внидоша:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
Рувим, Симеон, Левий, Иуда,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Иссахар, Завулон и Вениамин,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Дан и Неффалим, Гад и Асир: Иосиф же бяше во Египте.
5 Therefore, all the souls of those who went forth from Jacob’s thigh were seventy. Now Joseph was in Egypt.
Бяше же всех душ изшедших из Иакова седмьдесят пять.
6 When he had died, along with all of his brothers and all of that generation,
Умре же Иосиф, и вся братия его, и весь род оный:
7 the sons of Israel increased, and they multiplied like seedlings. And having been strengthened exceedingly, they filled the land.
сынове же Израилевы возрастоша и умножишася, и мнози быша и укрепишася зело зело: умножи же их земля.
8 Meanwhile, there arose a new king over Egypt, who was ignorant of Joseph.
Воста же царь ин во Египте, иже не знаше Иосифа,
9 And he said to his people: “Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are many, and they are stronger than we are.
рече же языку своему: се, род сынов Израилевых великое множество и укрепляется паче нас:
10 Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply; and if any war should advance against us, they may be added to our enemies, and having fought against us, they might depart from the land.”
приидите убо, прехитрим их, да не когда умножатся: и егда аще приключится нам брань, приложатся и сии к супостатом, и одолевше нам изыдут из земли (нашея).
11 And so he set over them masters of the works, in order to afflict them with burdens. And they built for Pharaoh the cities of the tabernacles: Pithom and Raamses.
И пристави над ними приставники дел, да озлобят их в делех. И создаша грады тверды фараону: Пифо, и Рамесси, и он, иже есть Илиополь.
12 And the more they oppressed them, so much more did they multiply and increase.
По елику же их смиряху, толико множайшии бываху и укрепляхуся зело зело. И гнушахуся Египтяне сынми Израилевыми,
13 And the Egyptians hated the sons of Israel, and they afflicted them and mocked them.
и насилие творяху Египтяне сыном Израилевым нуждею,
14 And they led their life directly into bitterness, with hard work in clay and brick, and with all kinds of servitude, so that they were being overwhelmed with the works of the land.
и болезненну тем жизнь творяху в делех жестоких брением и плинфоделанием, и всеми делы, яже в полях, во всех делех, имиже порабощаху их с нуждею.
15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews, (one of whom one was called Shiphrah, another Puah)
И рече царь Египетский бабам Еврейским: единей их имя Сепфора и имя вторей Фуа,
16 instructing them: “When you will act as a midwife to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery has arrived: if it is male, put it to death; if it is female, retain it.”
и рече (им): егда бабите Евреаныням, и суть к рождению, аще убо мужеский пол будет, убивайте его: аще же женский, снабдевайте его.
17 But the midwives feared God, and so they did not act according to the precept of the king of Egypt, but they kept the males safe.
Убояшася же бабы Бога, и не сотвориша, якоже повеле им царь Египетский, и живляху мужеский пол.
18 And summoning them, the king said, “What did you intend to do, so that you would save the boys?”
Призва же царь Египетский бабы и рече им: что яко сотвористе вещь сию, и оживляете мужеский пол?
19 They responded: “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. For they themselves have the wisdom of a midwife, and so they give birth before we can come to them.”
Рекоша же бабы фараону: не яко жены Египтяныни, тако и жены Евреаныни: раждают бо прежде неже внити к ним бабам, и раждаху.
20 Therefore, God acted favorably toward the midwives. And the people increased, and they were strengthened exceedingly.
Благо же творяше Бог бабам, и множахуся людие и укрепляхуся зело.
21 And because the midwives feared God, he built houses for them.
И понеже бояхуся бабы Бога, сотвориша себе жилища.
22 Therefore, Pharaoh instructed all his people, saying: “Whatever will be born of the male sex, cast it into the river; whatever will be born of the female sex, retain it.”
Заповеда же фараон всем людем своим, глаголя: всяк мужеский пол, иже родится Евреом, в реку ввергайте, и всяк женский пол снабдевайте и жив.
