Exodus 1
1 Now, these, are the names of the Sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, with Jacob, did each man and his household come in: —
Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanak’ Isiraely izay niaraka tamin’ i Jakoba nankany Egypta; samy nandeha mbamin’ ny ankohonany avy izy rehetra:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Robena sy Simeona sy Levy ary Joda;
3 Issachar, Zebulon, and Benjamin;
Isakara sy Zebolona ary Benjamina;
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Dana sy Naftaly, ary Gada sy Asera.
5 And it came to pass that all the persons who were descended from Jacob were seventy souls, —but, Joseph, was already in Egypt.
Ary ny isan’ ny olona rehetra naterak’ i Jakoba dia fito-polo; fa Josefa efa tany Egypta rahateo.
6 So then Joseph died and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Ary maty Josefa sy ny rahalahiny rehetra mbamin’ izany taranaka rehetra izany.
7 But the sons of Israel, were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and waxed mighty, with exceeding vigour, —so that the land was filled with them.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely niteraka ka nitombo betsaka sy nihamaro ary nihahery dia nihahery indrindra, ka dia henika azy ny tany.
8 Then arose a new king over Egypt, —who had not known Joseph.
Ary nisy mpanjaka vaovao nanjaka tany Egypta, izay tsy nahalala an’ i Josefa.
9 So he said, unto his people, Lo! the people of the sons of Israel are too many and mighty for us!
Ary izy niteny tamin’ ny vahoakany hoe: Indro, ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa maro sy mahery noho isika;
10 Come on! let us shew ourselves wise with regard to them, lest they so multiply that it shall come to pass when war befalleth us, that they also, shall join themselves unto them who hate us, and shall make war upon us. and then go up out of the land.
andeha hanaovantsika hevitra ireo, fandrao hihamaro izy, ka raha tahìny hisy ady, dia homba ny fahavalontsika koa izy ka hiady amintsika, ary dia hiakatra hiala amin’ ny tany.
11 So they set over them chiefs of tribute, to the end they might humiliate them with their burdens, —and they built store-cities for Pharaoh, even Pithom and Raamses.
Koa dia nanendreny mpifehy izy, mba hampahory azy amin’ ny fanompoany mafy. Ary nanao tanàna fitehirizana ho an’ i Farao izy, dia Pitoma sy Ramesesa.
12 But the more they were humiliating them, the more, were they multiplying, and, the more, were they breaking forth, so they were filled with alarm because of the sons of Israel.
Nefa araka ny nampahoriany azy no vao mainka nihamaroany sy nitomboany kosa; ka dia natahotra ny Zanak’ Isiraely indrindra ny Egyptiana.
13 And the Egyptians rigorously made the sons of Israel serve;
Dia nampanompoin’ ny Egyptiana fatratra ny Zanak’ Isiraely,
14 and embittered their lives with harsh service, in clay and in bricks, and in all manner of service in the field, —all their service, wherein they rigorously made them serve.
ka nataony mangidy ny fiainany tamin’ ny fanompoana mafy, dia tamin’ ny feta sy ny biriky mbamin’ ny fanompoana rehetra any an-tsaha, dia ny fanompoana rehetra izay nampanompoany azy fatratra.
15 Then said the king of Egypt to the Hebrew midwives, —of whom, the name of the one was, Shiphrah, and, the name of the other Puah; —
Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta niteny tamin’ ny mpampivelona Hebreo (Sifra no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Poa no anaran’ ny anankiray)
16 then he said—When ye act as midwives unto the Hebrew women, then shall ye look out for the sex, —If it is, a son, then shall ye kill it, But, if it is, a daughter, then shall it live.
ka nanao hoe: Raha mampivelona ny vehivavy Hebreo ianareo, ka hitanareo eo amin’ ny fipetrahany fa zazalahy, dia vonoy, fa raha zazavavy kosa, dia velomy.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt spake unto them, —but suffered the male children to live.
Nefa natahotra an’ Andriamanitra ny mpampivelona ka tsy nanao araka izay nolazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta taminy, fa novelominy ihany ny zazalahy.
18 Then called the king of Egypt for the midwives, and said to them—Wherefore have ye done this thing, that ye should let the male children live?
Dia nampaka ny mpampivelona ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no nanao izany zavatra izany ianareo, ka novelominareo ihany ny zazalahy?
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh. Because not like the Egyptian women, are the Hebrew women, for they are full of life, ere yet the midwife can come in unto them, they have given birth,
Fa hoy ny mpampivelona tamin’ i Farao: Tsy mba tahaka ny vehivavy Egyptiana ny vehivavy Hebreo; fa matanjaka izy, ka raha tsy mbola tonga any aminy akory ny mpampivelona, dia velona izy.
20 So then God dealt well with the midwives, —and the people multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty.
Dia nasian’ Andriamanitra soa ny mpampivelona; ary nihamaro sy nihahery indrindra ny olona.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made for them households.
Ary tamin’ izany, satria natahotra an’ Andriamanitra ny mpampivelona dia nomen’ Andriamanitra zanaka izy.
22 Then gave Pharaoh command to all his people saying—Every son that is born to the Hebrews, into the river, shall ye cast him; But every daughter, shall ye suffer to live.
Dia nandidy ny vahoakany rehetra Farao ka nanao hoe: Ny zazalahy rehetra izay teraka dia ario an’ i Neily, fa ny zazavavy rehetra kosa no velomy.
