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.
Torej to so imena Izraelovih otrok, ki so prišli v Egipt. Z Jakobom je prišel vsak mož in njegova družina.
2 Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah.
Ruben, Simeon, Lévi in Juda,
3 Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin.
Isahár, Zábulon in Benjamin,
4 Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher.

5 And it was every person [who] came out of [the] thigh of Jacob seventy person[s] and Joseph he was in Egypt.
Vseh duš, ki so prišle iz Jakobovih ledij, je bilo sedemdeset duš, kajti Jožef je bil že v Egiptu.
6 And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
Jožef je umrl in vsi njegovi bratje in ves ta rod.
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.
Izraelovi otroci pa so bili rodovitni in obilno narasli in se namnožili in postali silno mogočni in dežela je bila napolnjena z njimi.
8 And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
Sedaj je tam vstal nov kralj nad Egiptom, ki ni poznal Jožefa.
9 And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
Svojemu ljudstvu je rekel: »Glejte, ljudstva Izraelovih otrok je več in mogočnejši so, kakor smo mi.
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.
Pridite, modro ravnajmo z njimi, da se ne bi namnožili in se pripeti, ko izpade kakšna vojna, da se pridružijo tudi našim sovražnikom in se borijo zoper nas in tako jih napodimo iz dežele.«
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.
Zato so nadnje postavili preddelavce, da jih stiskajo z njihovimi bremeni. In za faraona so gradili zakladni mesti Pitóm in Ramesés.
12 And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.
Toda bolj so jih stiskali, bolj so se množili in rastli. In bili so užaloščeni zaradi Izraelovih otrok.
13 And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
Egipčani so s krutostjo Izraelove otroke prisilili, da so služili.
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.
Njihova življenja so zagrenili s trdim suženjstvom, z malto, z opeko in z vsemi vrstami službe na polju. Vse njihove službe, s katerimi so jih pripravili, da jim služijo, so bile s krutostjo.
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.
Egiptovski kralj je spregovoril hebrejskima babicama, katerih prvi je bilo ime Šifra, ime drugi pa Pua
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.
in rekel: »Ko hebrejskim ženam opravljata službo babice in jih vidita na stolčkih; če je sin, potem ga ubijta, toda če je hči, potem naj živi.«
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.
Toda babici sta se bali Boga in nista delali, kakor jima je egiptovski kralj ukazal, temveč sta fantke rešili žive.
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.
Egiptovski kralj je dal poklicati babici in jima rekel: »Zakaj sta storili to stvar in fantke rešili žive?«
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.
Babici sta faraonu rekli: »Zato ker Hebrejke niso kakor Egipčanke, kajti one so krepke in rodijo prej ko babice pridejo k njim.«
20 And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
Zato je Bog z babicama dobro postopal in ljudstvo se je pomnožilo in postalo zelo mogočno.
21 And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
Pripetilo se je, ker sta se babici bali Boga, da jima je naredil hiši.
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!
Faraon je vsemu svojemu ljudstvu zapovedal, rekoč: »Vsakega sina, ki je rojen, boste vrgli v reko, vsaka hči pa naj bo rešena živa.«
