< 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)
Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,
Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,
Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
5 So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.
A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
6 Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.
A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
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.
I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
8 Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.
Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
9 And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.
I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
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.
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 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.
I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
12 But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.
Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
13 Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.
I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
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.
I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
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)
I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
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.
I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
17 Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.
Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
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?
A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
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.
A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
20 God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.
I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
21 And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.
I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
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.
Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
