Exodus 1
1 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt with Jacob; a man and his household have they come;
Izip ram vah Jakop hoi cungtalah, amamae imthungnaw ka phat awh e Isarelnaw teh;
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Reuben, Simeon, Levih hoi Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Issakhar, Zebulun hoi Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan, Naphtali, Gad hoi Asher,
5 And all the persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt.
Jakop canaw abuemlah tami 70 touh a pha awh. Joseph teh Izip ram vah yo la ao toe.
6 And Joseph dieth, and all his brethren, and all that generation;
Joseph hoi a hmaunawnghanaw senae taminaw pueng teh koung a due awh toe.
7 and the sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem, and multiply, and are very very mighty, and the land is filled with them.
Isarelnaw teh ca moi a pungdaw awh, a thao awh teh ram pueng dawk kho a sak awh.
8 And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known Joseph,
Hathnukkhu, Izip ram dawk Joseph ka panuek hoeh e siangpahrang katha a tâco.
9 and he saith unto his people, 'Lo, the people of the sons of Israel [is] more numerous and mighty than we;
Hote siangpahrang ni hai Isarelnaw teh maimanaw hlak apap awh, a thasai awh.
10 give help! let us act wisely concerning it, lest it multiply, and it hath come to pass, when war happeneth, that it hath been joined, even it, unto those hating us, and hath fought against us, and hath gone out up of the land.'
Tho awh, lungangcalah hoi ahnimouh lathueng hno sak awh sei. Nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh teh hoe pungdaw awh vaiteh, hmalah tarankâtuknae awm pawiteh, maimae tarannaw koe lah kambawng awh vaiteh, maimouh hah na tuk vaiteh ram dawk hoi a yawng awh han doeh telah a taminaw koe a dei pouh.
11 And they set over it princes of tribute, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it buildeth store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses;
Hatdawkvah, Izip bawinaw ni puenghoi rektap hanelah kaukkung a ta pouh. Isarel taminaw teh hno pâtung nahanlah Pithom khopui hoi Raameses khopui hah a sak awh.
12 and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;
Hateiteh, rektapnae hoehoe a khang awh e patetlah hoehoe a pungdaw awh. Ahnimouh kecu dawk Izipnaw teh a lungpuen awh.
13 and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigour,
Pueng hoi hoe a rektap awh.
14 and make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all their service in which they have served [is] with rigour.
Talung bonae hoi amhru saknae koe, law thawnaw pueng dawk puenghoi a tawk sak awh teh a tawk e tangkuem dawk nget ka tawn lah a tawk sak awh.
15 And the king of Egypt speaketh to the midwives, the Hebrewesses, (of whom the name of the one [is] Shiphrah, and the name of the second Puah),
Izip siangpahrang ni Hebru tami, camo ka khe sak roi e kahni touh, Siphrah hoi Puah koevah,
16 and saith, 'When ye cause the Hebrew women to bear, and have looked on the children; if it [is] a son — then ye have put him to death; and if it [is] a daughter — then she hath lived.'
nangmouh roi ni Hebru napuinaw e camo khe sak roi nateh, a khenae hmuen koe na ring roi navah, ca tongpa khe pawiteh thet, napui khe pawiteh pâhlung roi haw telah atipouh.
17 And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads alive;
Camo kakhesak roi e ni Cathut a taki dawkvah, Izip siangpahrang e kâpoe e patetlah sak laipalah ca tongpa hah a pâhlung roi.
18 and the king of Egypt calleth for the midwives, and saith to them, 'Wherefore have ye done this thing, and keep the lads alive?'
Izip siangpahrang ni hai camo kakhesak e roi a kaw teh, nangmouh roi ni bangkongmaw camo tongpanaw na pâhlung roi telah a pacei navah,
19 And the midwives say unto Pharaoh, 'Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; before the midwife cometh in unto them — they have borne!'
Ahnimouh roi ni Hebru napuinaw teh Izip napuinaw patetlah awm awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh cao a yawi dawkvah, camo kakhesak e a tho hoeh nah camo yo a la khe toe telah atipouh roi.
20 And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni camo kakhesak roi e lathueng vah, hawinae a sak pouh. Hote miphun haiyah a pungdaw awh teh a thao awh.
21 and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;
Camo kakhesak e napui roi ni Cathut a taki roi dawkvah ahnimae imthungkhunaw hah a khetyawt roi.
22 and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying, 'Every son who is born — into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.'
Faro siangpahrang ni hai Isarelnaw dawk ca tongpa khe e pueng teh Nai palang dawk tâkhawng naseh, Napui pâhlung awh naseh, telah a taminaw pueng koe lawk a thui.
