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;
Iretoañe ty tahina’ o ana’ Israele nivotrake e Mitsraime ao nindre amy Iakòbeo songa an-kasavereña’e:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
i Reòbene, i Simone, i Levy naho Iehodà,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Isakare, i Zebolone naho i Beniamene,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
i Dane naho i Naftalý, i Gade naho i Asere.
5 And all the persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt.
Fitom-polo ty ia’ ondaty nasama’ Iakòbeo. Fa te Mitsraime añe ka t’Iosefe.
6 And Joseph dieth, and all his brethren, and all that generation;
Ie nivilasy t’Iosefe naho i rahalahi’e rey iaby naho ze hene nimpirai-nono ama’e,
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.
le niraorao o ana’ Israeleo, nanarànake naho nitombo ho maro naho toe niha-ra’elahy vaho nahatsitsike i taney.
8 And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known Joseph,
Ie amy zao, nitroatse hifehe i Mitsraime ty mpanjaka tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
9 and he saith unto his people, 'Lo, the people of the sons of Israel [is] more numerous and mighty than we;
Hoe re am’ondati’eo. Heheke, mandikoatse naho maozatse te aman-tika o ana’ Israeleo.
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.'
Antao arè hinday iareo an-kihitse ke hitombo, hera mifetsak’ atoy ty aly le mete hirekets’ amo rafelahintikañeo iereo hialy aman-tika hienga an-tane atoy.
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;
Aa le nampijadoña’ iareo mpifelek’ ondevo, hamorekeke iareo an-kilankañe, le namboara’ iereo rova famandroñañe t’i Parò: i Pitòme naho i Raamèse.
12 and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;
Aa ndra te nañindra i fampisilofañey, mbe nitombo naho nangetseketseke avao ondatio; toly ndra nampangebahebake iareo o ana’ Israeleo,
13 and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigour,
le nampitoroñe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo an-kabodongero’e o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Naho nanoeñe afero ty fiai’iareo, am-pifanehafañe mafe ami’ty birìke naho làlotse vaho amy ze hene fitoloñañe an-kivoke ey, le fonga an-tsenge-hery ty fampitromahañe nampanoeñe iareo.
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),
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amo mpanaha-mampiterake o nte-Evreoo (i Siprahae ty añara’ ty raike naho i Poahae ty añara’ ty raike):
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.'
Hoe re: Ie mampiterake ty rakemba nte-Evre naho mahaisak’ aze am-pitoboham-pisamahañe, ie lahilahy, vonò; fa naho ampela, apoho ho veloñe.
17 And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads alive;
Fe nimpañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanàhao, le tsy nanoe’ iareo i nandilia’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimeiy, fa nenga’ iareo veloñe o lahilahio.
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?'
Aa le kinoi’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey i mpanaha rey naho nanoa’e ty hoe, Akore ty anoa’ areo zao, te apo’ areo veloñe o lahilahio?
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!'
Hoe i mpanaha rey amy Parò, Toe tsy hambañe amo rakemba nte-Mitsraimeo o rakemba ana’ Israeleo fa mavitrike mahatoly aolo’ ty ivotraha’ ty mpanaha.
20 And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;
Aa le nanoan’ Añahare soa o mpanahao; vaho niha-tsiefa naho nitombo an-kaozarañe ondatio.
21 and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;
Aa kanao nañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanahao le nampisavereñe’e.
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.'
Le hoe ty nafanto’ i Parò am’ondati’e iabio: Afetsaho amy Nailey ze hene anadahy samake, fa tano ho veloñe o anak’ampelao.
