1 And these [are] [the] names of [the] sons of Israel who went Egypt towards with Jacob everyone and household his they went.
Yakub yang juga dinamakan Israel, pergi ke Mesir dengan anak-anaknya dan keluarga mereka masing-masing. Anak-anak Yakub itu adalah:
2 Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah.
Ruben, Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda
3 Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin.
Isakhar, Zebulon, Benyamin
4 Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher.
Dan, Naftali, Gad, Asyer.
5 And it was every person [who] came out of [the] thigh of Jacob seventy person[s] and Joseph he was in Egypt.
Keturunan Yakub itu seluruhnya berjumlah tujuh puluh orang. Yusuf sudah lebih dahulu berada di Mesir.
6 And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
Beberapa waktu kemudian Yusuf dan saudara-saudaranya meninggal, begitu juga orang-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.
Tetapi keturunan mereka, yaitu orang-orang Israel, beranak cucu sangat banyak, dan jumlah mereka bertambah dengan cepat sekali, sehingga negeri Mesir penuh dengan mereka.
8 And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
Kemudian seorang raja baru yang tidak mengenal Yusuf mulai memerintah di Mesir.
9 And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
Ia berkata kepada rakyatnya, "Orang-orang Israel itu berbahaya sekali bagi kita, karena mereka sangat banyak dan lebih kuat daripada 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.
Andaikata terjadi perang, ada kemungkinan mereka bersekutu dengan musuh untuk melawan kita, lalu lari meninggalkan negeri ini. Kita harus mencari jalan supaya mereka jangan menjadi lebih banyak lagi."
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.
Maka orang-orang Mesir mengangkat pengawas-pengawas atas bangsa Israel untuk mempersulit hidup mereka dengan kerja keras. Mereka dipaksa membangun bagi raja Mesir kota-kota Pitom dan Raamses untuk pusat penyimpanan barang.
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 oleh orang Mesir, makin bertambah jumlah orang Israel, dan makin tersebar mereka ke seluruh negeri itu, sehingga orang Mesir menjadi takut kepada mereka.
13 And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
Lalu dengan kejamnya mereka menindas orang Israel,
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 membuat hidup mereka sengsara. Tanpa belas kasihan mereka dipaksa bekerja keras di proyek-proyek pembangunan dan di ladang-ladang.
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.
Kemudian raja Mesir memberi perintah kepada Sifra dan Pua, dua bidan yang menolong wanita-wanita Ibrani bersalin.
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.
Kata raja Mesir, "Pada waktu kamu menolong wanita Ibrani bersalin, ingatlah ini: Kalau anak yang lahir itu laki-laki, bunuhlah dia! Kalau anak yang lahir itu perempuan, biarkan 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 kedua bidan itu orang yang takut kepada Allah. Mereka tidak mau melakukan perintah raja dan membiarkan semua bayi laki-laki 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.
Maka raja memanggil kedua bidan itu dan bertanya, "Mengapa kamu membiarkan anak-anak lelaki hidup?"
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 mereka, "Wanita Ibrani tidak seperti wanita Mesir. Mereka gampang sekali melahirkan. Sebelum bidan datang, anaknya sudah lahir."
20 And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
Maka Allah memberkati bidan-bidan itu dan memberi keturunan kepada mereka, karena mereka menghormati Allah. Dan orang Israel pun bertambah banyak dan kuat.
21 And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
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 raja memberi perintah ini kepada seluruh rakyatnya, "Tiap anak laki-laki orang Ibrani yang baru lahir harus dibuang ke dalam Sungai Nil, tetapi semua anaknya yang perempuan boleh dibiarkan hidup."
