Exodus 1
1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, that came into Egypt with Jacob, every man and his household they came.
Magi e nying jo-Israel mane odhi e piny Misri gi Jakobo, moro ka moro gi joode:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Reuben, Simeon, Lawi, kod Juda;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Isakar, Zebulun kod Benjamin;
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan kod Naftali; Gad kod Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; together with Joseph who was already in Egypt.
Joka Jakobo duto noromo ji piero abiriyo, nikech Josef to noyudo osechopo e piny Misri.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
Koro Josef gi owetene duto kod tiengʼno duto notho,
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
to jo-Israel nonyaa kendo gimedore ahinya mi gimedo bedo oganda mathoth moloyo mane gipongʼo pinyno duto.
8 Now there rose up a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
Bangʼe ruoth manyien mane ok ongʼeyo wach Josef nobedo e loch e piny Misri.
9 And he said unto his people: Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and mightier than we.
Nonyiso joge niya, “Neuru, jo-Israel osenyaa moloyowa.
10 Come, let us deal wisely with them lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there happen to be a war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and depart out of the land.
Watangʼuru, nono to gibiro medore ahinya kendo bedo maratego, ma ka lweny owuok ginyalo dok ne wasikwa mondo giked kodwa, mi giring gia e pinywa.”
11 And they set over taskmasters, to afflict them with their burdensome labors; and they built treasure cities, for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
Kuom mano, jo-Misri noketo nyipeche mondo ochun jo-Israel gi tich matek, kendo negigero Pithom gi Rameses kaka miech keno mag ruoth Farao.
12 But in the measure that they afflicted them, so they multiplied and so they spread out; and they felt abhorrence because of the children of Israel.
To kaka ne imedo sandgi, e kaka negimedo nyaa kendo gimedore; omiyo jo-Misri nomedo luoro jo-Israel,
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to labor with rigor:
kuom mano jo-Misri nobembo jo-Israel gi tich mapek mar wasumbini.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in mortar, and in bricks, and in all manner of labor in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them labor with rigor.
Negimiyo ngimagi odoko matek gi tije achuna mag nyono lowo mar matafare; e tijegi duto jo-Misri noketogi gi tich mapek mar wasumbini.
15 And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah;
Bangʼe ruodh jo-Misri nogolo chik mondo mond jo-Hibrania ma jocholo miluongo ni Shifra kod Pua niya,
16 And he said: When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birth; if it be a son, then shall ye kill him; but if it be a daughter, then may she live.
“Ka ucholo mond jo-Hibrania mi uneno ka onywolo nyathi ma wuowi, to negeuru, to ka en nyathi ma nyako, to kik unege.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and they did not as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
To kata kamano, jochologo noluoro Nyasaye kendo ne ok gitimo gima ruodh jo-Misri nonyisogi mondo gitim, mine ok ginego nyithindo ma yawuowi.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and he said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?
Ruodh jo-Misri noluongo jochologo mi openjogi niya, “En angʼo momiyo utimo kama? Angʼo momiyo ok uneg nyithindo ma yawuowi?”
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively; ere the midwife cometh in unto them they are delivered.
Jochologo nodwoko Farao niya, “Mond jo-Hibrania ok chal gi mond jo-Misri, gin giteko kendo ginywol kapok jocholo ochopo irgi.”
20 And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Kuom mano Nyasaye nogwedho jochologo, kendo jo-Israel nomedo nyaa mi odoko oganda maduongʼ.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Nikech jochologo noluoro Nyasaye, Nyasaye nogwedhogi gi nyithindo.
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.
Bangʼe Farao nogolo chik ne joge kowacho niya, “Nyathi ma wuowi moro amora monywol nyaka udir e aora Nael, to nyithindo ma nyiri to uwe odongi.”
