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)
He rhoek he Egypt la aka kun Israel ca a ming ni. Te vaengah Jakob neh a imkhui kah hlang neh,
2 Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi neh Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,
Issakhar, Zebulun neh Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad neh Asher te ha pawk.
5 So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.
Te vaengah Jacob hlit lamkah aka thoeng hinglu boeih he hinglu sawmrhih lo coeng tih Joseph khaw Egypt ah om coeng.
6 Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.
Te phoeiah Joseph neh a manuca boeih neh te kah cadilcahma tah boeih duek.
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.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah pungtai uh tih luem uh, ping uh tih yet uh. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ah mawk mawk bae uh.
8 Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.
Te vaengah Egypt ah manghai a thai phoe tih te long te Joseph ming pawh.
9 And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.
Te dongah a pilnam te, 'Pilnam he, Israel ca rhoek he mamih lakah muep pilnu coeng.
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.
Anih te cueih pae pawn sih ping aih ve. Caemtloek ha thoeng tih anih neh koei uh koinih mamih m'hmuhuet ni. Te vaengah mamih m'vathoh thil vetih khohmuen lamloh cet hae ni.
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.
Te dongah amih bitloh neh phaep sak ham saldong mangpa a khueh thil uh. Te vaengah Pharaoh kah rhuengim khopuei la Pithom neh Raamses te a thoh pah.
12 But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.
Anih a phaep uh vanbangla ping van tih pungtai van. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a mueipuel uh.
13 Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.
Te dongah Egypt loh Israel ca rhoek te mangkhak la a thohtat sak.
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.
Amih kah hingnah te amlai dong neh laiboeng dongah thohtatnah nen khaw, lohma kah thohtatnah cungkuem nen khaw, mat a phaep uh. Amih kah thohtatnah cungkuem dongah Israel ca te mangkhak la a thohtat sakuh.
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)
Te phoeiah Egypt manghai loh Hebrew ca-om rhoi, a ming la pakhat ah Shiphrah neh a pabae ah a ming la Puah te a uen.
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.
Te vaengah, “Hebrew nu te na om sak vaengah a omnah te so rhoi. tongpa atah ngawn rhoi lamtah huta atah hing saeh.
17 Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.
Tedae ca-om rhoi loh Pathen te a rhih rhoi. Te dongah Egypt manghai loh amih rhoi taengkah a thui bangla saii rhoi pawt tih camoe te a hing sak rhoi.
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?
Te dongah Egypt manghai loh ca-om rhoek te a khue tih amamih taengah, “Balae tih he kah hno he na saii uh tih camoe na hing sak uh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te vaengah ca-om rhoek loh Pharaoh te, “Hebrew nu he Egypt nu bang moenih. Amih tah rhaang uh tih amih taengla ca-om a pawk hlan ah khaw om uh coeng,” a ti nah.
20 God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.
Te dongah Pathen loh ca-om rhoek te a voelphoeng sak tih pilnam a ping dongah muep rhoeng uh.
21 And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.
Ca-om rhoek loh Pathen te a rhih uh dongah amih ham im khaw a thoh pah.
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.
Te dongah Pharaoh loh a pilnam boeih te a uen tih, “tongpa la aka thaang boeih tah sokko la voei uh kuekluek lamtah huta tah boeih hing sak uh,” a ti nah.
