< 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.
Maqaan ilmaan Israaʼel kanneen maatii isaanii qabatanii Yaaqoob wajjin Gibxi dhaqanii kanaa dha:
2 Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah.
Ruubeen, Simiʼoon, Lewwii fi Yihuudaa;
3 Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin.
Yisaakor, Zebuuloonii fi Beniyaam;
4 Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher.
Daanii fi Niftaalem; Gaadii fi Aasheer.
5 And it was every person [who] came out of [the] thigh of Jacob seventy person[s] and Joseph he was in Egypt.
Namoonni sanyii Yaaqoob irraa dhalatan walumaa galatti torbaatama turan; Yoosef durumaanuu Gibxi ture.
6 And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
Yoosefii fi obboloota isaa hundi, dhaloonni sun hundinuus, ni duʼan.
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.
Israaʼeloonni garuu horanii akka malee baayʼatan; baayʼataniis akka malee jabaatan; biyyattii keessas ni guutan.
8 And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
Ergasii mootiin waaʼee Yoosef hin beekin haaraan tokko bulchaa Gibxi taʼe.
9 And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
Innis saba isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, Israaʼeloonni nu caalaa baayʼataniiru; nu caalaas jabaataniiru.
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.
Kottaa akka isaan kana caalaa hin baayʼanneef, yoo waraanni kaʼes diinota keenya gargaaranii akka nu hin waraannee fi akka biyyattii keessaa baqatanii hin baaneef haxxummaadhaan isaan qabna.”
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.
Kanaafuu itti gaafatamtoota isaan cunqursanii hojii humnaa hojjechiisan isaanitti muudan; Israaʼeloonnis Fiitoomii fi Raamsee magaalaawwan waa itti kuusan godhanii Faraʼooniif ijaaran.
12 And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.
Isaan garuu hamma cunqursaan isaanitti jabaachaa deeme sana baayʼatanii lafa guutan; kana irratti warri Gibxi saba Israaʼel sodaatan.
13 And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
Warri Gibxis Israaʼelootatti gara jabinaan isaan hojjechiifatan.
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.
Isaanis suphee fi xuubii hojjechiisuudhaan, lafa qotiisaa keessas hojii garaa garaa hunda hojjechiisuudhaan hojii itti cimsanii jireenya isaanitti hadheessan; warri Gibxi hojii jabaa jara hojjechiisan hunda keessatti garaa isaaniif hin laafan ture.
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.
Mootiin Gibxi deessistoota Ibrootaa kanneen Siipaaraa fi Fuuhaa jedhamaniin akkana jedhe;
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.
“Isin yommuu dubartoota Ibrootaa daʼumsa irratti gargaartanii fi barcuma daʼumsaa irratti isaan argitan, yoo dhiira taʼe ajjeesaa; yoo durba taate immoo haa jiraattuu dhiisaa.”
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.
Deessistoonni sun garuu waan Waaqa sodaataniif, waan mootiin Gibxi isaanitti hime sana hin goone; ijoollee dhiiraas akka isaan jiraataniif dhiisan.
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.
Mootiin Gibxis deessistoota sana ofitti waamee, “Isin maaliif waan kana gootan? Maaliifis ijoollee dhiiraa akka isaan jiraataniif dhiiftan?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
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.
Deessistoonni sunis, “Dubartoonni Ibrootaa akka dubartoota warra Gibxi miti; isaan waan jajjaboo taʼaniif utuu deessistoonni isaan bira hin gaʼin daʼanii nama eegu” jedhanii Faraʼooniif deebisan.
20 And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
Waaqnis deessistoota sanaaf waan gaarii godhe; Israaʼeloonnis baayʼatanii akka malee jabaatan.
21 And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
Sababii isaan Waaqa sodaataniif Waaqni deessistoota sanaaf maatii ofii isaanii kenneef.
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!
Kana irratti Faraʼoon, “Ilma dhalatu hunda laga Abbayyaa keessa buusaa; durbi hundi garuu haa jiraattuu dhiisaa” jedhee saba isaa hunda ajaje.
