Exodus 1
1 NOW THESE are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt with Jacob; every man came with his household:
Maqaan ilmaan Israaʼel kanneen maatii isaanii qabatanii Yaaqoob wajjin Gibxi dhaqanii kanaa dha:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Ruubeen, Simiʼoon, Lewwii fi Yihuudaa;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
Yisaakor, Zebuuloonii fi Beniyaam;
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Daanii fi Niftaalem; Gaadii fi Aasheer.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt already.
Namoonni sanyii Yaaqoob irraa dhalatan walumaa galatti torbaatama turan; Yoosef durumaanuu Gibxi ture.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Yoosefii fi obboloota isaa hundi, dhaloonni sun hundinuus, ni duʼan.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Israaʼeloonni garuu horanii akka malee baayʼatan; baayʼataniis akka malee jabaatan; biyyattii keessas ni guutan.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
Ergasii mootiin waaʼee Yoosef hin beekin haaraan tokko bulchaa Gibxi taʼe.
9 And he said unto his people: 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us;
Innis saba isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, Israaʼeloonni nu caalaa baayʼataniiru; nu caalaas jabaataniiru.
10 come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.'
Kottaa akka isaan kana caalaa hin baayʼanneef, yoo waraanni kaʼes diinota keenya gargaaranii akka nu hin waraannee fi akka biyyattii keessaa baqatanii hin baaneef haxxummaadhaan isaan qabna.”
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Kanaafuu itti gaafatamtoota isaan cunqursanii hojii humnaa hojjechiisan isaanitti muudan; Israaʼeloonnis Fiitoomii fi Raamsee magaalaawwan waa itti kuusan godhanii Faraʼooniif ijaaran.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were adread because of the children of Israel.
Isaan garuu hamma cunqursaan isaanitti jabaachaa deeme sana baayʼatanii lafa guutan; kana irratti warri Gibxi saba Israaʼel sodaatan.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour.
Warri Gibxis Israaʼelootatti gara jabinaan isaan hojjechiifatan.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour.
Isaanis suphee fi xuubii hojjechiisuudhaan, lafa qotiisaa keessas hojii garaa garaa hunda hojjechiisuudhaan hojii itti cimsanii jireenya isaanitti hadheessan; warri Gibxi hojii jabaa jara hojjechiisan hunda keessatti garaa isaaniif hin laafan ture.
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 Puah;
Mootiin Gibxi deessistoota Ibrootaa kanneen Siipaaraa fi Fuuhaa jedhamaniin akkana jedhe;
16 and he said: 'When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birthstool: if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.'
“Isin yommuu dubartoota Ibrootaa daʼumsa irratti gargaartanii fi barcuma daʼumsaa irratti isaan argitan, yoo dhiira taʼe ajjeesaa; yoo durba taate immoo haa jiraattuu dhiisaa.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
Deessistoonni sun garuu waan Waaqa sodaataniif, waan mootiin Gibxi isaanitti hime sana hin goone; ijoollee dhiiraas akka isaan jiraataniif dhiisan.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them: 'Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?'
Mootiin Gibxis deessistoota sana ofitti waamee, “Isin maaliif waan kana gootan? Maaliifis ijoollee dhiiraa akka isaan jiraataniif dhiiftan?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh: 'Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.'
Deessistoonni sunis, “Dubartoonni Ibrootaa akka dubartoota warra Gibxi miti; isaan waan jajjaboo taʼaniif utuu deessistoonni isaan bira hin gaʼin daʼanii nama eegu” jedhanii Faraʼooniif deebisan.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Waaqnis deessistoota sanaaf waan gaarii godhe; Israaʼeloonnis baayʼatanii akka malee jabaatan.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.
Sababii isaan Waaqa sodaataniif Waaqni deessistoota sanaaf maatii ofii isaanii kenneef.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying: 'Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.'
Kana irratti Faraʼoon, “Ilma dhalatu hunda laga Abbayyaa keessa buusaa; durbi hundi garuu haa jiraattuu dhiisaa” jedhee saba isaa hunda ajaje.
