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:
Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
5 And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
8 And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we.
I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
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.
Nego hajde mudro da postupamo s njima, da se ne množe, i kad nastane rat da ne pristanu s neprijateljima našim i ne udare na nas i ne otidu iz zemlje.
11 And they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
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.
I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
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 —
I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
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.
I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive.
Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
18 And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive?
A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
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.
A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
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.
Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
