Egzòd 1
1 Men non pitit Jakòb yo ki te desann avè l' nan peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout fanmi yo:
And these [are] [the] names of [the] sons of Israel who went Egypt towards with Jacob everyone and household his they went.
2 Se te Woubenn, Simeyon, Levi epi Jida,
Reuben Simeon Levi and Judah.
3 Isaka, Zabilon epi Benjamen,
Issachar Zebulun and Benjamin.
4 Dann ak Nèftali, Gad ak Asè.
Dan and Naphtali Gad and Asher.
5 Sa te fè antou swasanndis moun nan ras Jakòb la. Jozèf menm te deja nan peyi Lejip la.
And it was every person [who] came out of [the] thigh of Jacob seventy person[s] and Joseph he was in Egypt.
6 Apre sa, Jozèf mouri, tout frè l' yo mouri tou ansanm ak tout moun menm laj ak yo.
And he died Joseph and all brothers his and all the generation that.
7 Men pèp Izrayèl la te fè anpil pitit, yo te peple. Yo te vin anpil. Yo te vin fò, yo te toupatou nan peyi a.
And [the] people of Israel they were fruitful and they swarmed and they multiplied and they became mighty with muchness muchness and it was filled the land with them.
8 Te vin gen yon lòt wa nan peyi Lejip la. Wa sa a pa t' konn anyen sou Jozèf.
And he arose a king new over Egypt who not he knew Joseph.
9 Li di pèp la konsa: -Gade. Pèp Izrayèl la vin pi plis pase nou. Yo pi fò pase nou.
And he said to people his here! [the] people of [the] people of Israel [is] numerous and mighty more than us.
10 Tande non! Fòk nou jwenn yon jan wi, pou n' bat ak moun sa yo, pou yo pa vin plis toujou. Paske, si yon lagè pete la a, yo ka mete tèt ansanm ak lènmi nou yo pou yo bat nou. Apre sa, y'a pati kite peyi a.
Give! let us deal wisely to it lest it should increase and it will be that they will happen war and it will be added also it to [those who] hate us and it will fight against us and it will go up from the land.
11 Se konsa yo mete kèk chèf sou pèp Izrayèl la pou kraze kouraj yo, pou fè yo fè kòve travo fòse san pran souf. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo bati lavil Piton ak Ranmsès pou farawon an. Se nan lavil sa yo yo te fè depo manje.
And they appointed over it overseers of slave gangs so as to afflict it with forced labor their and it built cities of storage for Pharaoh Pithom and Rameses.
12 Men, tank moun Lejip yo t'ap peze moun pèp Izrayèl yo, se tank yo t'ap fè pitit, se plis yo t'ap peple. Moun Lejip yo vin rayi moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.
13 Se konsa, yo fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen esklav.
And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.
14 Yo rann yo lavi minab, yo fè yo travay rèd ap bat mòtye, ap fè brik, ap fè tout lòt kalite kòve nan jaden. Yo bat yo, yo fòse yo fè tout kalite travay sa yo.
And they made bitter lives their with labor hard in mortar and in bricks and in all labor in the field all labor their which they labored by them with harshness.
15 Lè sa a, te gen de fanmchay ki te konn akouche medam ebre yo. Yonn te rele Chifra, lòt la te rele Pwa. Wa Lejip la rele yo,
And he said [the] king of Egypt to the midwives Hebrew who [the] name of the one [was] Shiphrah and [the] name of the second [was] Puah.
16 li di yo: -Lè n'ap akouche medam ebre yo, lè yo sou choukèt, louvri je nou. Si pitit la se yon gason, touye l'. Men si se yon fi, kite l' viv.
And he said when assist as midwife you the Hebrew [women] and you will look at the stones if [is] a son he and you will kill him and if [is] a daughter she and she will live.
17 Men, fanmchay yo te gen krentif pou Bondye. Yo pa t' fe sa wa Lejip la te ba yo lòd fè a. Yo te kite ti gason yo viv tou.
And they feared the midwives God and not they did just as he had spoken to them [the] king of Egypt and they let live the [male] children.
18 Lè sa a, wa a fè rele fanmchay yo, li mande yo: -Poukisa nou fè sa? Apa nou kite ti gason yo viv tou?
And he summoned [the] king of Egypt the midwives and he said to them why? have you done the thing this and have you let live? the [male] children.
19 Medam yo reponn: -Fanm ebre sa yo pa tankou fanm Lejip yo non. Yo gen kouraj sou yo wi. Anvan fanmchay la rive, yo gen tan akouche.
And they said the midwives to Pharaoh for not [are] like the women Egyptian the Hebrew [women] that [are] vigorous they before she comes to them the midwife and they give birth.
20 Bondye te beni fanmchay yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap vin pi plis toujou. Yo t'ap vin pi fò.
And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.
21 Paske fanmchay yo te gen krentif pou Bondye, Bondye te ba yo anpil pitit.
And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.
22 Lè sa a, farawon an bay pèp la lòd sa a: -Se pou nou jete tout ti gason ki fèt lakay moun ebre yo nan gwo larivyè a. Men, kite tout ti fi yo viv.
And he commanded Pharaoh to all people his saying every son born the River towards you will throw him and every daughter you will let live!
