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.
Izip ram vah Jakop hoi cungtalah, amamae imthungnaw ka phat awh e Isarelnaw teh;
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Reuben, Simeon, Levih hoi Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Issakhar, Zebulun hoi Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad hoi Asher,
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
Jakop canaw abuemlah tami 70 touh a pha awh. Joseph teh Izip ram vah yo la ao toe.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Joseph hoi a hmaunawnghanaw senae taminaw pueng teh koung a due awh toe.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Isarelnaw teh ca moi a pungdaw awh, a thao awh teh ram pueng dawk kho a sak awh.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Hathnukkhu, Izip ram dawk Joseph ka panuek hoeh e siangpahrang katha a tâco.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
Hote siangpahrang ni hai Isarelnaw teh maimanaw hlak apap awh, a thasai awh.
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.
Tho awh, lungangcalah hoi ahnimouh lathueng hno sak awh sei. Nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh teh hoe pungdaw awh vaiteh, hmalah tarankâtuknae awm pawiteh, maimae tarannaw koe lah kambawng awh vaiteh, maimouh hah na tuk vaiteh ram dawk hoi a yawng awh han doeh telah a taminaw koe a dei pouh.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Hatdawkvah, Izip bawinaw ni puenghoi rektap hanelah kaukkung a ta pouh. Isarel taminaw teh hno pâtung nahanlah Pithom khopui hoi Raameses khopui hah a sak awh.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Hateiteh, rektapnae hoehoe a khang awh e patetlah hoehoe a pungdaw awh. Ahnimouh kecu dawk Izipnaw teh a lungpuen awh.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
Pueng hoi hoe a rektap awh.
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.
Talung bonae hoi amhru saknae koe, law thawnaw pueng dawk puenghoi a tawk sak awh teh a tawk e tangkuem dawk nget ka tawn lah a tawk sak awh.
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:
Izip siangpahrang ni Hebru tami, camo ka khe sak roi e kahni touh, Siphrah hoi Puah koevah,
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.
nangmouh roi ni Hebru napuinaw e camo khe sak roi nateh, a khenae hmuen koe na ring roi navah, ca tongpa khe pawiteh thet, napui khe pawiteh pâhlung roi haw telah atipouh.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Camo kakhesak roi e ni Cathut a taki dawkvah, Izip siangpahrang e kâpoe e patetlah sak laipalah ca tongpa hah a pâhlung roi.
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?
Izip siangpahrang ni hai camo kakhesak e roi a kaw teh, nangmouh roi ni bangkongmaw camo tongpanaw na pâhlung roi telah a pacei navah,
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.
Ahnimouh roi ni Hebru napuinaw teh Izip napuinaw patetlah awm awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh cao a yawi dawkvah, camo kakhesak e a tho hoeh nah camo yo a la khe toe telah atipouh roi.
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni camo kakhesak roi e lathueng vah, hawinae a sak pouh. Hote miphun haiyah a pungdaw awh teh a thao awh.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Camo kakhesak e napui roi ni Cathut a taki roi dawkvah ahnimae imthungkhunaw hah a khetyawt roi.
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.
Faro siangpahrang ni hai Isarelnaw dawk ca tongpa khe e pueng teh Nai palang dawk tâkhawng naseh, Napui pâhlung awh naseh, telah a taminaw pueng koe lawk a thui.
