Exodus 1
1 Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Magi e nying jo-Israel mane odhi e piny Misri gi Jakobo, moro ka moro gi joode:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Reuben, Simeon, Lawi, kod Juda;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Isakar, Zebulun kod Benjamin;
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan kod Naftali; Gad kod Asher.
5 And all the souls that descended from Jacob, were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
Joka Jakobo duto noromo ji piero abiriyo, nikech Josef to noyudo osechopo e piny Misri.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Koro Josef gi owetene duto kod tiengʼno duto notho,
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
to jo-Israel nonyaa kendo gimedore ahinya mi gimedo bedo oganda mathoth moloyo mane gipongʼo pinyno duto.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
Bangʼe ruoth manyien mane ok ongʼeyo wach Josef nobedo e loch e piny Misri.
9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we.
Nonyiso joge niya, “Neuru, jo-Israel osenyaa moloyowa.
10 Come, let us deal wisely with them: lest they multiply, and it shall come to pass, that when there falleth out any war, they will join with our enemies, and fight against us, and depart from the land.
Watangʼuru, nono to gibiro medore ahinya kendo bedo maratego, ma ka lweny owuok ginyalo dok ne wasikwa mondo giked kodwa, mi giring gia e pinywa.”
11 Therefore they set over them task-masters, to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom, and Raamses.
Kuom mano, jo-Misri noketo nyipeche mondo ochun jo-Israel gi tich matek, kendo negigero Pithom gi Rameses kaka miech keno mag ruoth Farao.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
To kaka ne imedo sandgi, e kaka negimedo nyaa kendo gimedore; omiyo jo-Misri nomedo luoro jo-Israel,
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor.
kuom mano jo-Misri nobembo jo-Israel gi tich mapek mar wasumbini.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service in which they made them serve, [was] with rigor.
Negimiyo ngimagi odoko matek gi tije achuna mag nyono lowo mar matafare; e tijegi duto jo-Misri noketogi gi tich mapek mar wasumbini.
15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives (of which the name of one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: )
Bangʼe ruodh jo-Misri nogolo chik mondo mond jo-Hibrania ma jocholo miluongo ni Shifra kod Pua niya,
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [shall be] a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it [shall be] a daughter, then she shall live.
“Ka ucholo mond jo-Hibrania mi uneno ka onywolo nyathi ma wuowi, to negeuru, to ka en nyathi ma nyako, to kik unege.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male-children alive.
To kata kamano, jochologo noluoro Nyasaye kendo ne ok gitimo gima ruodh jo-Misri nonyisogi mondo gitim, mine ok ginego nyithindo ma yawuowi.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the male-children alive?
Ruodh jo-Misri noluongo jochologo mi openjogi niya, “En angʼo momiyo utimo kama? Angʼo momiyo ok uneg nyithindo ma yawuowi?”
19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women: for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in to them.
Jochologo nodwoko Farao niya, “Mond jo-Hibrania ok chal gi mond jo-Misri, gin giteko kendo ginywol kapok jocholo ochopo irgi.”
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.
Kuom mano Nyasaye nogwedho jochologo, kendo jo-Israel nomedo nyaa mi odoko oganda maduongʼ.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Nikech jochologo noluoro Nyasaye, Nyasaye nogwedhogi gi nyithindo.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Bangʼe Farao nogolo chik ne joge kowacho niya, “Nyathi ma wuowi moro amora monywol nyaka udir e aora Nael, to nyithindo ma nyiri to uwe odongi.”
