Exodus 1
1 These ben the names of the sones of Israel, that entriden into Egipt with Jacob; alle entriden with her housis;
Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
2 Ruben, Symeon,
Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
3 Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
4 Dan, and Neptalim, Gad, and Aser.
Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
5 Therfor alle the soules of hem that yeden out of `the hipe of Jacob weren seuenti and fyue.
A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
6 Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his kynrede,
A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
7 the sones of Israel encreessiden, and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden the lond.
I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
8 A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, and seide to his puple, Lo!
Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
9 the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere than we;
I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
10 come ye, wiseli oppresse we it, lest perauenture it be multiplied; and lest, if batel risith ayens vs, it be addid to oure enemyes, and go out of the lond, whanne we ben ouercomun.
Nego hajde mudro da postupamo s njima, da se ne množe, i kad nastane rat da ne pristanu s neprijateljima našim i ne udare na nas i ne otidu iz zemlje.
11 And so he made maistris of werkis souereyns to hem, that thei schulden turmente hem with chargis. And thei maden citees of tabernaclis to Farao, Fiton, and Ramesses.
I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
12 And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more.
Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
13 And Egipcians hatiden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden, and scorneden hem;
I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
14 and brouyten her lijf to bitternesse bi hard werkis of cley and to tijl stoon, and bi al seruage, bi which thei weren oppressid in the werkis of erthe.
I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
15 Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was clepid Sefora, the tother Fua;
I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
16 and he commaundide to hem, Whanne ye schulen do the office of medewyues to Ebrew wymmen, and the tyme of childberyng schal come, if it is a knaue child, sle ye him; if it is a womman, kepe ye.
I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
17 Forsothe the medewyues dredden God, and diden not bi the comaundement of the kyng of Egipt, but kepten knaue children.
Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
18 To whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which ye wolden do, that ye wolden kepe the children?
A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
19 Whiche answeriden, Ebrew wymmen ben not as the wymmen of Egipt, for thei han kunnyng of the craft of medewijf, and childen bifore that we comen to hem.
A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
20 Therfor God dide wel to medewyues; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid greetli.
I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
21 And for the mydewyues dredden God, he bildide `housis to hem.
I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
22 Therfor Farao comaundide al his puple, and seide, What euer thing of male kynde is borun to Ebrewis, `caste ye into the flood; what euer thing of wymmen kynde, kepe ye.
Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
