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.
Iretoañe ty tahina’ o ana’ Israele nivotrake e Mitsraime ao nindre amy Iakòbeo songa an-kasavereña’e:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
i Reòbene, i Simone, i Levy naho Iehodà,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Isakare, i Zebolone naho i Beniamene,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
i Dane naho i Naftalý, i Gade naho i Asere.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; together with Joseph who was already in Egypt.
Fitom-polo ty ia’ ondaty nasama’ Iakòbeo. Fa te Mitsraime añe ka t’Iosefe.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
Ie nivilasy t’Iosefe naho i rahalahi’e rey iaby naho ze hene nimpirai-nono ama’e,
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
le niraorao o ana’ Israeleo, nanarànake naho nitombo ho maro naho toe niha-ra’elahy vaho nahatsitsike i taney.
8 Now there rose up a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
Ie amy zao, nitroatse hifehe i Mitsraime ty mpanjaka tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
9 And he said unto his people: Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and mightier than we.
Hoe re am’ondati’eo. Heheke, mandikoatse naho maozatse te aman-tika o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Antao arè hinday iareo an-kihitse ke hitombo, hera mifetsak’ atoy ty aly le mete hirekets’ amo rafelahintikañeo iereo hialy aman-tika hienga an-tane atoy.
11 And they set over taskmasters, to afflict them with their burdensome labors; and they built treasure cities, for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
Aa le nampijadoña’ iareo mpifelek’ ondevo, hamorekeke iareo an-kilankañe, le namboara’ iereo rova famandroñañe t’i Parò: i Pitòme naho i Raamèse.
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.
Aa ndra te nañindra i fampisilofañey, mbe nitombo naho nangetseketseke avao ondatio; toly ndra nampangebahebake iareo o ana’ Israeleo,
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to labor with rigor:
le nampitoroñe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo an-kabodongero’e o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Naho nanoeñe afero ty fiai’iareo, am-pifanehafañe mafe ami’ty birìke naho làlotse vaho amy ze hene fitoloñañe an-kivoke ey, le fonga an-tsenge-hery ty fampitromahañe nampanoeñe iareo.
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;
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amo mpanaha-mampiterake o nte-Evreoo (i Siprahae ty añara’ ty raike naho i Poahae ty añara’ ty raike):
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.
Hoe re: Ie mampiterake ty rakemba nte-Evre naho mahaisak’ aze am-pitoboham-pisamahañe, ie lahilahy, vonò; fa naho ampela, apoho ho veloñe.
17 But the midwives feared God, and they did not as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
Fe nimpañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanàhao, le tsy nanoe’ iareo i nandilia’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimeiy, fa nenga’ iareo veloñe o lahilahio.
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?
Aa le kinoi’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey i mpanaha rey naho nanoa’e ty hoe, Akore ty anoa’ areo zao, te apo’ areo veloñe o lahilahio?
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.
Hoe i mpanaha rey amy Parò, Toe tsy hambañe amo rakemba nte-Mitsraimeo o rakemba ana’ Israeleo fa mavitrike mahatoly aolo’ ty ivotraha’ ty mpanaha.
20 And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Aa le nanoan’ Añahare soa o mpanahao; vaho niha-tsiefa naho nitombo an-kaozarañe ondatio.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Aa kanao nañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanahao le nampisavereñe’e.
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.
Le hoe ty nafanto’ i Parò am’ondati’e iabio: Afetsaho amy Nailey ze hene anadahy samake, fa tano ho veloñe o anak’ampelao.
