Exodus 1
1 NOW these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Wen natul Jacob su welul som nu Egypt, wi sou lalos pa:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad, ac Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
Pisen mwet inge nukewa su ma in fwil natul Jacob na suwohs, oasr ke mwet itngoul. Joseph, sie sin wen natul Jacob, el oasr tari in acn Egypt.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
tusruktu, fahko lun mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui oru elos oaclik acn nukewa in Egypt.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui. Nga luman sensen elos ac ku liki kut.
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
Fin oasr mweun elos ac mau kupasryang nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr ac lain kut, ac elos ac ku in kaingla liki mutunfacl sesr. Kut enenu in akngusrikya suk sie inkanek in taranulos in tia puseni.”
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Ouinge mwet Egypt sang kutu mwet kol lalos sifacna in akupayela orekma lalos. Mwet Israel inge pa musaela siti Pithom ac Rameses — siti lulap inge kalkalyak tuh in acn in karingin mongo ac kufwa nukewa nu sin tokosra.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Tusruktu finne yokelik mwe keok ma mwet Egypt sang aktoasrye mwet Israel kac, a pisen mwet Israel puseni liki meet ac osralik fin acn uh. Mwet Egypt mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Israel,
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
Elos akorekmayalos in orek brick mwe musa, oayapa kain in orekma nukewa inima uh, ac oru arulana upa nu selos.
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
El fahk nu seltal, “Ke komtal ac akisusye mutan Hebrew uh, fin ac tulik mukul se, na unilya; fin ac tulik mutan se, lela elan moul.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Tusruktu mutan akisus inge eltal etu in sangeng sin God, oru eltal tia aksol tokosra, a eltal fuhlela tulik mukul uh in moul.
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?
Ouinge tokosra el sapla nu sin mutan akisus ah, ac siyuk seltal, “Efu komtal ku oru ange? Efu komtal ku fuhlela tulik mukul uh moul?”
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 midwives come in unto them.
Eltal topuk, “Mutan Hebrew uh tia oana mutan Egypt uh, mweyen isus uh ma fisrasr se selos, oru tulik natulos isusla meet liki na mutan akisus uh sonolos.”
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
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.
Na tokosra el sapelik nu sin mwet lal nukewa, “Tulik mukul Hebrew nukewa ma isusla, kowos sisla nu Infacl Nile, a lela tulik mutan uh in moul.”
