Exodus 1
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household:
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 All the people who were directly descended from Jacob were seventy-five, and 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 Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
7 The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly 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 a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
9 He said to his people, "Look, the people of the sons 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, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and escape 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 set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Rameses.
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 the more they spread out. And they were in dread 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 ruthlessly made the children of Israel labor,
oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
14 and they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of labor in the field, all their labors which they ruthlessly made them do.
Elos akorekmayalos in orek brick mwe musa, oayapa kain in orekma nukewa inima uh, ac oru arulana upa nu selos.
15 The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom 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 you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool; if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is 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 do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby 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 The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and have saved 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 The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women aren't like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to 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 God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
21 It happened, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families.
Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
22 Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, "You are to cast every son who is born to the Hebrews into the river, but every daughter you are to 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.”
