Exodus 1
1 And these [are] [the] names of [the] sons of Israel who went Egypt towards with Jacob everyone and household his they went.
Inilah nama para anak Israel yang datang ke Mesir bersama-sama dengan Yakub; mereka datang dengan keluarganya masing-masing:
2 Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah.
Ruben, Simeon, Lewi dan Yehuda;
3 Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin.
Isakhar, Zebulon dan Benyamin;
4 Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher.
Dan serta Naftali, Gad dan Asyer.
5 And it was every person [who] came out of [the] thigh of Jacob seventy person[s] and Joseph he was in Egypt.
Seluruh keturunan yang diperoleh Yakub berjumlah tujuh puluh jiwa. Tetapi Yusuf telah ada di Mesir.
6 And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
Kemudian matilah Yusuf, serta semua saudara-saudaranya dan semua orang yang seangkatan dengan dia.
7 And [the] people of Israel they were fruitful and they swarmed and they multiplied and they became mighty with muchness muchness and it was filled the land with them.
Orang-orang Israel beranak cucu dan tak terbilang jumlahnya; mereka bertambah banyak dan dengan dahsyat berlipat ganda, sehingga negeri itu dipenuhi mereka.
8 And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
Kemudian bangkitlah seorang raja baru memerintah tanah Mesir, yang tidak mengenal Yusuf.
9 And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
Berkatalah raja itu kepada rakyatnya: "Bangsa Israel itu sangat banyak dan lebih besar jumlahnya dari pada kita.
10 Give! let us deal wisely to it lest it should increase and it will be that they will happen war and it will be added also it to [those who] hate us and it will fight against us and it will go up from the land.
Marilah kita bertindak dengan bijaksana terhadap mereka, supaya mereka jangan bertambah banyak lagi dan--jika terjadi peperangan--jangan bersekutu nanti dengan musuh kita dan memerangi kita, lalu pergi dari negeri ini."
11 And they appointed over it overseers of slave gangs so as to afflict it with forced labor their and it built cities of storage for Pharaoh Pithom and Rameses.
Sebab itu pengawas-pengawas rodi ditempatkan atas mereka untuk menindas mereka dengan kerja paksa: mereka harus mendirikan bagi Firaun kota-kota perbekalan, yakni Pitom dan Raamses.
12 And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.
Tetapi makin ditindas, makin bertambah banyak dan berkembang mereka, sehingga orang merasa takut kepada orang Israel itu.
13 And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
Lalu dengan kejam orang Mesir memaksa orang Israel bekerja,
14 And they made bitter lives their with labor hard in mortar and in bricks and in all labor in the field all labor their which they labored by them with harshness.
dan memahitkan hidup mereka dengan pekerjaan yang berat, yaitu mengerjakan tanah liat dan batu bata, dan berbagai-bagai pekerjaan di padang, ya segala pekerjaan yang dengan kejam dipaksakan orang Mesir kepada mereka itu.
15 And he said [the] king of Egypt to the midwives Hebrew who [the] name of the one [was] Shiphrah and [the] name of the second [was] Puah.
Raja Mesir juga memerintahkan kepada bidan-bidan yang menolong perempuan Ibrani, seorang bernama Sifra dan yang lain bernama Pua, katanya:
16 And he said when assist as midwife you the Hebrew [women] and you will look at the stones if [is] a son he and you will kill him and if [is] a daughter she and she will live.
"Apabila kamu menolong perempuan Ibrani pada waktu bersalin, kamu harus memperhatikan waktu anak itu lahir: jika anak laki-laki, kamu harus membunuhnya, tetapi jika anak perempuan, bolehlah ia hidup."
17 And they feared the midwives God and not they did just as he had spoken to them [the] king of Egypt and they let live the [male] children.
Tetapi bidan-bidan itu takut akan Allah dan tidak melakukan seperti yang dikatakan raja Mesir kepada mereka, dan membiarkan bayi-bayi itu hidup.
18 And he summoned [the] king of Egypt the midwives and he said to them why? have you done the thing this and have you let live? the [male] children.
Lalu raja Mesir memanggil bidan-bidan itu dan bertanya kepada mereka: "Mengapakah kamu berbuat demikian membiarkan hidup bayi-bayi itu?"
19 And they said the midwives to Pharaoh for not [are] like the women Egyptian the Hebrew [women] that [are] vigorous they before she comes to them the midwife and they give birth.
Jawab bidan-bidan itu kepada Firaun: "Sebab perempuan Ibrani tidak sama dengan perempuan Mesir; melainkan mereka kuat: sebelum bidan datang, mereka telah bersalin."
20 And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
Maka Allah berbuat baik kepada bidan-bidan itu; bertambah banyaklah bangsa itu dan sangat berlipat ganda.
21 And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
Dan karena bidan-bidan itu takut akan Allah, maka Ia membuat mereka berumah tangga.
22 And he commanded Pharaoh to all people his saying every son born the River towards you will throw him and every daughter you will let live!
Lalu Firaun memberi perintah kepada seluruh rakyatnya: "Lemparkanlah segala anak laki-laki yang lahir bagi orang Ibrani ke dalam sungai Nil; tetapi segala anak perempuan biarkanlah hidup."
