Exodus 1
1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (euery man and his housholde came thither with Iaakob)
haec sunt nomina filiorum Israhel qui ingressi sunt Aegyptum cum Iacob singuli cum domibus suis introierunt
2 Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,
Ruben Symeon Levi Iuda
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,
Isachar Zabulon et Beniamin
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan et Nepthalim Gad et Aser
5 So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.
erant igitur omnes animae eorum qui egressi sunt de femore Iacob septuaginta Ioseph autem in Aegypto erat
6 Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.
quo mortuo et universis fratribus eius omnique cognatione illa
7 And the children of Israel brought foorth fruite and encreased in aboundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mightie, so that the land was full of them.
filii Israhel creverunt et quasi germinantes multiplicati sunt ac roborati nimis impleverunt terram
8 Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.
surrexit interea rex novus super Aegyptum qui ignorabat Ioseph
9 And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.
et ait ad populum suum ecce populus filiorum Israhel multus et fortior nobis
10 Come, let vs worke wisely with them, least they multiplie, and it come to passe, that if there be warre, they ioyne them selues also vnto our enemies, and fight against vs, and get them out of the land.
venite sapienter opprimamus eum ne forte multiplicetur et si ingruerit contra nos bellum addatur inimicis nostris expugnatisque nobis egrediatur e terra
11 Therefore did they set taskemasters ouer them, to keepe the vnder with burdens: and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh.
praeposuit itaque eis magistros operum ut adfligerent eos oneribus aedificaveruntque urbes tabernaculorum Pharaoni Phiton et Ramesses
12 But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.
quantoque opprimebant eos tanto magis multiplicabantur et crescebant
13 Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.
oderantque filios Israhel Aegyptii et adfligebant inludentes eis
14 Thus they made them weary of their liues by sore labour in clay and in bricke, and in al worke in the fielde, with all maner of bondage, which they layde vpon them most cruelly.
atque ad amaritudinem perducebant vitam eorum operibus duris luti et lateris omnique famulatu quo in terrae operibus premebantur
15 Moreouer the King of Egypt commanded ye midwiues of the Ebrewe women, (of which the ones name was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah)
dixit autem rex Aegypti obsetricibus Hebraeorum quarum una vocabatur Sephra altera Phua
16 And sayde, When ye doe the office of a midwife to the women of the Ebrewes, and see them on their stooles, if it be a sonne, then yee shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her liue.
praecipiens eis quando obsetricabitis Hebraeas et partus tempus advenerit si masculus fuerit interficite illum si femina reservate
17 Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.
timuerunt autem obsetrices Deum et non fecerunt iuxta praeceptum regis Aegypti sed conservabant mares
18 Then the King of Egypt called for the midwiues, and sayde vnto them, Why haue yee done thus, and haue preserued aliue the men children?
quibus ad se accersitis rex ait quidnam est hoc quod facere voluistis ut pueros servaretis
19 And the midwiues answered Pharaoh, Because the Ebrewe women are not as the women of Egypt: for they are liuely, and are deliuered yer the midwife come at them.
quae responderunt non sunt hebraeae sicut aegyptiae mulieres ipsae enim obsetricandi habent scientiam et priusquam veniamus ad eas pariunt
20 God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.
bene ergo fecit Deus obsetricibus et crevit populus confortatusque est nimis
21 And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.
et quia timuerant obsetrices Deum aedificavit illis domos
22 Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Euery man childe that is borne, cast yee into the riuer, but reserue euery maide childe aliue.
praecepit autem Pharao omni populo suo dicens quicquid masculini sexus natum fuerit in flumen proicite quicquid feminei reservate
