Exodus 1
1 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt; each man and his household have come 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 persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as for Joseph, he was in Egypt.
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 dies, and all his brothers, and all that generation;
Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
7 and the sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem, and multiply, and are very, very mighty, and the land is filled with them.
tusruktu, fahko lun mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui oru elos oaclik acn nukewa in Egypt.
8 And there rises a new king over Egypt, who has not known Joseph,
Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
9 and he says to his people, “Behold, the people of the sons of Israel [are] more numerous and mighty than we.
El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui. Nga luman sensen elos ac ku liki kut.
10 Give help! Let us act wisely concerning it, lest it multiply, and it has come to pass, when war happens, that it has been joined, even it, to those hating us, and has fought against us, and has gone 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 And they set princes of tribute over it, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it builds the store-cities of Pithom and Rameses for Pharaoh;
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 and as they afflict it, so it multiplies, and so it breaks forth, and they are distressed because of the sons 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 cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigor,
oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
14 and make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all their service in which they have served [is] with rigor.
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 speaks to the midwives, the Hebrewesses (of whom the name of the first [is] Shiphrah, and the name of the second Puah),
Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
16 and says, “When you cause the Hebrew women to bear, and have looked on the children, if it [is] a son, then you have put him to death; and if it [is] a daughter, then she has lived.”
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 And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt has spoken to them, and they keep the boys 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 calls for the midwives and says to them, “Why have you done this thing, and keep the boys 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 say to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; before the midwife comes to them—they have borne!”
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 And God does good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;
Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
21 and it comes to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He makes households for them;
Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
22 and Pharaoh lays a charge on all his people, saying, “Every son who is born—you cast him into the River, and every daughter you keep 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.”
