Njiaro cia Jakubu ciothe ciarĩ mĩrongo mũgwanja; nowe Jusufu, aarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri o na mbere ĩyo.
6 And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
Na rĩrĩ, Jusufu na ariũ a ithe othe, na rũciaro rũu ruothe rwa ihinda rĩu magĩkua,
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.
no andũ a Isiraeli magĩciarana na makĩingĩha mũno, magĩtuĩka aingĩ makĩria, o nginya makĩiyũra bũrũri ũcio.
8 And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki ũngĩ ũtooĩ ũhoro wa Jusufu akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
9 And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
Nake akĩĩra andũ ake atĩrĩ, “Onei, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmaingĩhĩte mũno makĩria, magatũkĩria hinya.
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.
Gĩũkei, no nginya tũmathiĩ na wara nĩguo matikae kũingĩha mũno gũkĩra ũũ, tondũ kũngĩgĩa mbaara, no manyiitane na thũ ciitũ na marũe na ithuĩ, na macooke moore moime bũrũri ũyũ.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Misiri makĩmaigĩra arori a ngombo mamahinyĩrĩrie na ũndũ wa kũmarutithia wĩra wa hinya, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩaka Pithomu na Ramesese marĩ matũũra manene ma kũigwo indo cia Firaũni.
12 And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.
No o ũrĩa maathiire na mbere kũhinyĩrĩrio-rĩ, noguo maaciaranire na makĩiyũra bũrũri-inĩ ũcio; nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Misiri makĩambĩrĩria gwĩtigĩra andũ a Isiraeli mũno,
13 And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
na makĩmahinyĩrĩria na wĩra matekũmaiguĩra tha.
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.
Andũ a Misiri magĩtũma mũtũũrĩre wa andũ a Isiraeli ũgĩe na ruo rũkĩru nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra mũritũ wa gũthondeka maturubarĩ na thimiti, hamwe na mawĩra ma mĩthemba yothe mĩgũnda-inĩ; andũ a Misiri maamahinyagĩrĩria matekũmaiguĩra tha mawĩra-inĩ mao mothe.
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.
Mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri akĩĩra Shifira na Pua, aciarithania arĩa maateithagia atumia a Ahibirania, atĩrĩ,
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.
“Rĩrĩa mũrĩteithagia atumia a Ahibirania makĩgĩa ciana, na mwamarora marĩ gĩtanda-inĩ gĩa kũgĩĩra mwana-rĩ, mũngĩona nĩ kahĩĩ kooragei, no kangĩkorwo karĩ kairĩtu, mũkareka gatũũre muoyo.”
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.
Na rĩrĩ, aciarithania acio tondũ nĩmetigĩrĩte Ngai, matiigana gwĩka ũrĩa mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri aamerĩte meke; makĩreka tũhĩĩ tũu tũtũũre muoyo.
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.
Nake mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri agĩĩta aciarithania acio, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩkĩte ũũ nĩkĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũreke tũhĩĩ tũtũũre muoyo?”
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.
Nao aciarithania acio magĩcookeria Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Atumia a Ahibirania matihaana ta atumia a Misiri; o nĩ ahiũ magĩaga ciana aciarithania matanakinya.”
20 And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai agĩgĩtanahĩra aciarithania acio, nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩongerereka o na makĩingĩha makĩria.
21 And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
Na rĩrĩ, tondũ aciarithania acio nĩmetigĩrĩte Ngai, akĩmahe ciana ciao kĩũmbe.
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!
Nake Firaũni agĩatha andũ ake othe atĩrĩ: “Kahĩĩ o gothe gaaciarwo nĩ Mũhibirania no nginya mũgagaikia Rũũĩ rwa Nili, no mũreke kairĩtu o gothe gatũũre muoyo.”
