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;

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 persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt.

Joka Jakobo duto noromo ji piero abiriyo, nikech Josef to noyudo osechopo e piny Misri.

6 And Joseph dieth, and all his brethren, and all that generation;

Koro Josef gi owetene duto kod tiengʼno duto notho,

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.

to jo-Israel nonyaa kendo gimedore ahinya mi gimedo bedo oganda mathoth moloyo mane gipongʼo pinyno duto.

8 And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known Joseph,

Bangʼe ruoth manyien mane ok ongʼeyo wach Josef nobedo e loch e piny Misri.

9 and he saith unto his people, 'Lo, the people of the sons of Israel [is] more numerous and mighty than we;

Nonyiso joge niya, “Neuru, jo-Israel osenyaa moloyowa.

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.'

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 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;

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 and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;

To kaka ne imedo sandgi, e kaka negimedo nyaa kendo gimedore; omiyo jo-Misri nomedo luoro jo-Israel,

13 and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigour,

kuom mano jo-Misri nobembo jo-Israel gi tich mapek mar wasumbini.

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.

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 speaketh to the midwives, the Hebrewesses, (of whom the name of the one [is] Shiphrah, and the name of the second Puah),

Bangʼe ruodh jo-Misri nogolo chik mondo mond jo-Hibrania ma jocholo miluongo ni Shifra kod Pua niya,

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.'

“Ka ucholo mond jo-Hibrania mi uneno ka onywolo nyathi ma wuowi, to negeuru, to ka en nyathi ma nyako, to kik unege.”

17 And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads 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 calleth for the midwives, and saith to them, 'Wherefore have ye done this thing, and keep the lads 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 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!'

Jochologo nodwoko Farao niya, “Mond jo-Hibrania ok chal gi mond jo-Misri, gin giteko kendo ginywol kapok jocholo ochopo irgi.”

20 And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

Kuom mano Nyasaye nogwedho jochologo, kendo jo-Israel nomedo nyaa mi odoko oganda maduongʼ.

21 and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;

Nikech jochologo noluoro Nyasaye, Nyasaye nogwedhogi gi nyithindo.

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.'

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.”
