Mose 2 1
1 Israel ƒe viŋutsu siwo kplɔ Yakob ɖo yi Egipte kple woƒe ƒometɔwoe nye:
These ben the names of the sones of Israel, that entriden into Egipt with Jacob; alle entriden with her housis;
2 Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Yuda,
Ruben, Symeon,
3 Isaka, Zebulon, Benyamin,
Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, Naftali, Gad kple Aser.
Dan, and Neptalim, Gad, and Aser.
5 Ame siwo katã kplɔ Yakob ɖo yi Egipte la anɔ ame blaadre. Yosef ya nɔ afi ma xoxo.
Therfor alle the soules of hem that yeden out of `the hipe of Jacob weren seuenti and fyue.
6 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Yosef kple nɔviawo katã ku, eye dzidzime ma nu tso.
Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his kynrede,
7 Azɔ la, Israelviwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo dzina kabakaba. Wodzi sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, wozu dukɔ gã aɖe, eye woyɔ anyigba la dzi fũu.
the sones of Israel encreessiden, and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden the lond.
8 Eva eme be fia yeye aɖe va ɖu Egipte dzi, ame si menya Yosef o.
A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, and seide to his puple, Lo!
9 Fia sia gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Israelvi siawo sɔ gbɔ wu mí akpa.
the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere than we;
10 Mina míato ayemɔ aɖe dzi atsi nu sia nu. Ne míetsi nu sia nu o, eye aʋa dzɔ la, woade míaƒe futɔwo dzi, awɔ aʋa kpli mí asi adzo le anyigba la dzi.”
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.
11 Ale Egiptetɔwo wɔ Israelviwo woƒe kluviwoe. Wotsɔ dɔdzikpɔla ŋutasẽlawo ɖo wo nu be woana woawɔ dɔ sesẽ, woatu nudzraɖoƒe gãwo ɖe Pitom kple Rameses na Farao.
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.
12 Togbɔ be Egiptetɔwo nɔ fu wɔm Israelviwo, eye wonɔ wo tem ɖe to wu tsã gɔ̃ hã la, Israelviwo ganɔ dzidzim ɖe edzi kokoko! Nu sia gado ŋɔdzi na Egiptetɔwo wu
And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more.
13 eye wogazi wo dzi wu tsã.
And Egipcians hatiden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden, and scorneden hem;
14 Wona agbenɔnɔ ti wo to dɔ sesẽ wɔwɔ le anyikpewo meme kple agbledɔwo wɔwɔ me. Egiptetɔwo na wowɔ dɔ sesẽ siawo katã nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe.
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.
15 Egipte fia gblɔ na Hebri nyɔnu siwo nye vixelawo, ame siwo ŋkɔwoe nye Sipra kple Pua be,
Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was clepid Sefora, the tother Fua;
16 “Ne miekpe ɖe Hebri nyɔnu aɖe ŋu wòdzi vi, eye miekpɔ le vidziƒea be ŋutsuvi wòdzi la, miwu ɖevi la enumake, gake ne nyɔnuvi wòdzi la, mina ɖevia natsi agbe.”
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.
17 Ke vixela siawo vɔ̃a Mawu, eye womewɔ ɖe Egipte fia la ƒe se la dzi o, wona ŋutsuviawo hã tsi agbe.
Forsothe the medewyues dredden God, and diden not bi the comaundement of the kyng of Egipt, but kepten knaue children.
18 Fia la yɔ vixelawo, eye wòbia wo be, “Nu ka ta miegbe nye se la dzi wɔwɔ, eye miena ŋutsuviawo hã le agbe tsim ɖo?”
To whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which ye wolden do, that ye wolden kepe the children?
19 Woɖo eŋu na Farao be, “Aƒetɔ, Hebri nyɔnuwo ƒe vidzidzi tsɔna ale gbegbe be, míeɖoa wo gbɔ hafi wodzia vi le wo ɖokuiwo si o. Woawo ƒe vidzidzi mexɔa ɣeyiɣi abe míaƒe Egipte nyɔnuwo tɔ ene o!”
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.
20 Le esia ta Mawu yra vixelawo. Ale Israelviwo dzi ɖe edzi, eye wokpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ.
Therfor God dide wel to medewyues; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid greetli.
21 Esi vixelawo vɔ̃a Mawu ta la, Mawu na viwo woawo hã.
And for the mydewyues dredden God, he bildide `housis to hem.
22 Fia Farao va de se na eƒe amewo katã be, “Miatsɔ ŋutsuvi ɖe sia ɖe si woadzi la aƒu gbe ɖe Nil tɔsisi la me, ke miana nyɔnuviwo ya natsi agbe.”
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.
