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)
Torej to so imena Izraelovih otrok, ki so prišli v Egipt. Z Jakobom je prišel vsak mož in njegova družina.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,
Ruben, Simeon, Lévi in Juda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,
Isahár, Zábulon in Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan in Neftáli, Gad in Aser.
5 So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.
Vseh duš, ki so prišle iz Jakobovih ledij, je bilo sedemdeset duš, kajti Jožef je bil že v Egiptu.
6 Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.
Jožef je umrl in vsi njegovi bratje in ves ta rod.
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.
Izraelovi otroci pa so bili rodovitni in obilno narasli in se namnožili in postali silno mogočni in dežela je bila napolnjena z njimi.
8 Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.
Sedaj je tam vstal nov kralj nad Egiptom, ki ni poznal Jožefa.
9 And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.
Svojemu ljudstvu je rekel: »Glejte, ljudstva Izraelovih otrok je več in mogočnejši so, kakor smo mi.
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.
Pridite, modro ravnajmo z njimi, da se ne bi namnožili in se pripeti, ko izpade kakšna vojna, da se pridružijo tudi našim sovražnikom in se borijo zoper nas in tako jih napodimo iz dežele.«
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.
Zato so nadnje postavili preddelavce, da jih stiskajo z njihovimi bremeni. In za faraona so gradili zakladni mesti Pitóm in Ramesés.
12 But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.
Toda bolj so jih stiskali, bolj so se množili in rastli. In bili so užaloščeni zaradi Izraelovih otrok.
13 Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.
Egipčani so s krutostjo Izraelove otroke prisilili, da so služili.
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.
Njihova življenja so zagrenili s trdim suženjstvom, z malto, z opeko in z vsemi vrstami službe na polju. Vse njihove službe, s katerimi so jih pripravili, da jim služijo, so bile s krutostjo.
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)
Egiptovski kralj je spregovoril hebrejskima babicama, katerih prvi je bilo ime Šifra, ime drugi pa Pua
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.
in rekel: »Ko hebrejskim ženam opravljata službo babice in jih vidita na stolčkih; če je sin, potem ga ubijta, toda če je hči, potem naj živi.«
17 Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.
Toda babici sta se bali Boga in nista delali, kakor jima je egiptovski kralj ukazal, temveč sta fantke rešili žive.
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?
Egiptovski kralj je dal poklicati babici in jima rekel: »Zakaj sta storili to stvar in fantke rešili žive?«
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.
Babici sta faraonu rekli: »Zato ker Hebrejke niso kakor Egipčanke, kajti one so krepke in rodijo prej ko babice pridejo k njim.«
20 God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.
Zato je Bog z babicama dobro postopal in ljudstvo se je pomnožilo in postalo zelo mogočno.
21 And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.
Pripetilo se je, ker sta se babici bali Boga, da jima je naredil hiši.
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.
Faraon je vsemu svojemu ljudstvu zapovedal, rekoč: »Vsakega sina, ki je rojen, boste vrgli v reko, vsaka hči pa naj bo rešena živa.«
