Exodus 1
1 The sons of Jacob who went to Egypt with him along with their families were
Tato jsou pak jména synů Izraelských, kteříž vešli do Egypta s Jákobem; každý s čeledí svou přišel:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
Ruben, Simeon, Léví a Juda;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
Izachar, Zabulon a Beniamin;
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan a Neftalím, Gád a Asser.
5 Altogether there were 70 people [who went with] Jacob. That included his [sons, his grandsons, and two great-grandsons]. [His son] Joseph was already in Egypt.
A bylo všech osob pošlých z bedr Jákobových sedmdesáte duší; Jozef pak byl v Egyptě.
6 [Eventually] Joseph and his [older and younger] brothers and everyone [else in their family who lived] (in that generation/at that time) died.
I umřel Jozef a všickni bratří jeho, a všecken ten rod.
7 But Jacob’s descendants kept giving birth to many children [IDM]. The number [of his descendants] kept becoming larger and larger. As a result, there were so many of them that they were everywhere in Egypt (OR, that they [became a threat] to the Egyptians).
Synové pak Izraelští rozmnožili se a rodili se v hojnosti; a rozhojňovali se, i zsilili se náramně velmi, a naplněna jest jimi země.
8 Then [several hundred years later], a new king began to rule [MTY] in Egypt. He did not know [what] Joseph [had done for the people of Egypt long ago].
V tom povstal král nový v Egyptě, kterýž neznal Jozefa.
9 He said to his people, “Look [at what has happened]! The Israeli people have become so numerous and so powerful that they [now might conquer] us!
Ten řekl lidu svému: Aj, lid synů Izraelských jest mnohý a silnější nad nás.
10 We must find a way to control them! If we do not do that, their population will continue to grow. Then, if enemies [PRS] attack us, they will join with our enemies and fight against us, and they will escape from [our] land.”
Nuže, opatrně sobě počínejme před ním, aby se nerozmohl; a když by přišla válka, aby se nepřipojil i on k nepřátelům našim, a nebojoval proti nám, a nevyšel z země.
11 So [the king and his officials] put supervisors over the Israeli people to cause them to suffer very much by [forcing them] to work very hard. They forced [the Israeli people to] build [two] cities, Pithom and Ramses, in which to store [supplies for the king/government].
Protož ustanovili nad ním úředníky, kteříž by plat vybírali, aby je trápili břemeny svými. I vystavěl lid Izraelský Faraonovi města skladů, Fiton a Ramesses.
12 But the more cruelly they treated the [Israeli people], the bigger the Israeli [population] grew, and they became more numerous all over [the land]. So the Egyptian people began to be afraid of the Israeli people.
Ale čím více trápili jej, tím více rostl a tím se více rozmáhal. I vzali sobě syny Izraelské v ošklivost.
13 They forced the Israeli people to work very hard,
A tak podrobovali Egyptští syny Izraelské v službu těžkou.
14 and by making them slaves, they made their lives miserable. They [forced them] to [build many buildings with] mortar and bricks. [They also forced them to do] other work in the fields. [In making them do all this work, the Egyptian officials treated them] ruthlessly/cruelly.
A k hořkosti přivodili život jejich robotami těžkými, v hlině a cihlách a ve všelijakém díle na poli, mimo všelikou potřebu svou, k níž práce jejich užívali nenáležitě a bez lítosti.
15 There were two Hebrew (midwives/women who helped the women when they were giving birth). [Hebrew means the same as Israeli.] The names of the women were Shiphrah and Puah. The king of Egypt said to [those two women],
I poručil král Egyptský babám Hebrejským, z nichž jedna sloula Sefora a druhá Fua,
16 “When you help the Hebrew women when they are giving birth [MTY], if [the baby that is born] is a boy, you must kill it. If [the baby] is a girl, you (may let it live/do not have to kill them).”
A řekl: Když budete pomáhati ženám Hebrejským při porodu, a uzříte, že již rodí, byl-li by syn, zabíte ho, pakli dcera, tedy ať jest živa.
17 But the midwives feared/revered God. So they did not do what the king told them to do. They allowed the baby boys to live.
Bály se pak ty baby Boha, a nečinily tak, jakž jim poručil král Egyptský, ale živých nechávaly pacholíků.
18 So the king summoned the [two] midwives and said to them, “Why are you doing this? Why are you letting the baby boys live?”
Povolav tedy bab král Egyptský, mluvil jim: Proč jste to učinily, že jste živé zachovaly pacholíky?
19 [One of] the midwives replied to the king, “[You need to realize that] the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. The Hebrew women are very strong/healthy. They give birth [to their babies] before we can get to them [to help them].”
I odpověděly baby Faraonovi: Nejsou ženy Hebrejské jako ženy Egyptské; nebo ony jsou silnějšího přirození. Dříve než přijde k nim baba, ony porodí.
20 So God acted kindly toward the midwives, and the [Hebrew] people became even more numerous and strong.
I učinil dobře Bůh těm babám. A rozmnožen jest lid, a zsilili se velmi.
21 Furthermore, because the midwives feared/revered God, he enabled them also to give birth to children.
Stalo se pak proto, že se bály baby ty Boha, vzdělal jim domy.
22 Then the king commanded all (the [Egyptian] people/his [advisors]): “You must throw into the Nile [River] every baby boy born that the [Hebrew women] give birth to! But you can allow the baby girls to live.”
I přikázal Farao všemu lidu svému, řka: Každého syna, kterýž se narodí, do řeky uvrzte; každé pak dcery nechte živé.
