Exodus 1
1 And these are the names of the sons of Israel who had come into Egypt; with Jacob had they come, each with his household:
Iretoañe ty tahina’ o ana’ Israele nivotrake e Mitsraime ao nindre amy Iakòbeo songa an-kasavereña’e:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
i Reòbene, i Simone, i Levy naho Iehodà,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
Isakare, i Zebolone naho i Beniamene,
4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
i Dane naho i Naftalý, i Gade naho i Asere.
5 And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
Fitom-polo ty ia’ ondaty nasama’ Iakòbeo. Fa te Mitsraime añe ka t’Iosefe.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Ie nivilasy t’Iosefe naho i rahalahi’e rey iaby naho ze hene nimpirai-nono ama’e,
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
le niraorao o ana’ Israeleo, nanarànake naho nitombo ho maro naho toe niha-ra’elahy vaho nahatsitsike i taney.
8 And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Ie amy zao, nitroatse hifehe i Mitsraime ty mpanjaka tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we.
Hoe re am’ondati’eo. Heheke, mandikoatse naho maozatse te aman-tika o ana’ Israeleo.
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, if war occur, they take side with our enemies and fight against us, and go up out of the land.
Antao arè hinday iareo an-kihitse ke hitombo, hera mifetsak’ atoy ty aly le mete hirekets’ amo rafelahintikañeo iereo hialy aman-tika hienga an-tane atoy.
11 And they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
Aa le nampijadoña’ iareo mpifelek’ ondevo, hamorekeke iareo an-kilankañe, le namboara’ iereo rova famandroñañe t’i Parò: i Pitòme naho i Raamèse.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
Aa ndra te nañindra i fampisilofañey, mbe nitombo naho nangetseketseke avao ondatio; toly ndra nampangebahebake iareo o ana’ Israeleo,
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
le nampitoroñe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo an-kabodongero’e o ana’ Israeleo.
14 and they embittered their life with hard labour in clay and bricks, and in all manner of labour in the field: all their labour with which they made them serve was with harshness.
Naho nanoeñe afero ty fiai’iareo, am-pifanehafañe mafe ami’ty birìke naho làlotse vaho amy ze hene fitoloñañe an-kivoke ey, le fonga an-tsenge-hery ty fampitromahañe nampanoeñe iareo.
15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives — of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was Puah —
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amo mpanaha-mampiterake o nte-Evreoo (i Siprahae ty añara’ ty raike naho i Poahae ty añara’ ty raike):
16 and he said, When ye help the Hebrew women in bearing, and see [them] on the stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if a daughter, then she shall live.
Hoe re: Ie mampiterake ty rakemba nte-Evre naho mahaisak’ aze am-pitoboham-pisamahañe, ie lahilahy, vonò; fa naho ampela, apoho ho veloñe.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive.
Fe nimpañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanàhao, le tsy nanoe’ iareo i nandilia’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimeiy, fa nenga’ iareo veloñe o lahilahio.
18 And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive?
Aa le kinoi’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey i mpanaha rey naho nanoa’e ty hoe, Akore ty anoa’ areo zao, te apo’ areo veloñe o lahilahio?
19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them.
Hoe i mpanaha rey amy Parò, Toe tsy hambañe amo rakemba nte-Mitsraimeo o rakemba ana’ Israeleo fa mavitrike mahatoly aolo’ ty ivotraha’ ty mpanaha.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
Aa le nanoan’ Añahare soa o mpanahao; vaho niha-tsiefa naho nitombo an-kaozarañe ondatio.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Aa kanao nañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanahao le nampisavereñe’e.
22 Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, but every daughter ye shall save alive.
Le hoe ty nafanto’ i Parò am’ondati’e iabio: Afetsaho amy Nailey ze hene anadahy samake, fa tano ho veloñe o anak’ampelao.
