Egzòd 1
1 Alò sa yo se non fis Israël yo ki te vini an Égypte avèk Jacob; yo chak te vini avèk fanmi pa yo:
These ben the names of the sones of Israel, that entriden into Egipt with Jacob; alle entriden with her housis;
2 Ruben, Siméon, Lévi, Juda,
Ruben, Symeon,
3 Isacar, Zabulon, Benjamin,
Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, Nephthali, Gad, ak Aser.
Dan, and Neptalim, Gad, and Aser.
5 Tout moun ki te sòti nan zantray Jacob yo te swasann-dis moun, men Joseph te deja an Égypte.
Therfor alle the soules of hem that yeden out of `the hipe of Jacob weren seuenti and fyue.
6 Joseph te mouri, ni tout frè li yo avèk tout jenerasyon sila a.
Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his kynrede,
7 Men fis Israël yo te pwodwi anpil, yo te vin miltipliye anpil, e yo te vin trè fò, jiskaske peyi a te vin ranpli avèk yo.
the sones of Israel encreessiden, and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden the lond.
8 Alò yon wa tounèf ki pa te konnen Joseph te vin leve sou Égypte.
A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, and seide to his puple, Lo!
9 Li te di a pèp pa li a: “Gade byen, moun a fis Israël yo vin plis, e pi fò ke nou.
the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere than we;
10 Vini, annou aji avèk sajès avèk yo, sinon yo va miltipliye, e si gen lagè, yo va fè alyans avèk sa ki rayi nou yo, pou goumen kont nou e kite peyi a.”
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 Konsa, yo te chwazi sipèvizè sou yo pou aji di avèk yo pou fè yo travay pi rèd. Yo te bati pou Farawon vil Pithom avèk Ramsès yo pou konsève sereyal.
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 Men plis ke yo t ap aflije yo, plis ke yo t ap ogmante, e plis yo t ap grandi. Konsa Ejipsyen yo te vin gen gwo laperèz pou fis Israël yo.
And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more.
13 Yo te vin fòse fis Israël yo travay di.
And Egipcians hatiden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden, and scorneden hem;
14 Yo te fè vi yo vin amè avèk travay di nan mòtye avèk brik, e ak tout kalite travay nan chan an. Tout se te kòve ke yo te enpoze byen rèd sou yo.
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 Alò wa Égypte la te pale avèk fanm saj Ebre yo. Youn nan yo te rele Schiparaavèk, e lòt la yo te rele Pua.
Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was clepid Sefora, the tother Fua;
16 Li te di yo: “Lè nou ap ede fanm Ebre yo akouche, e wè yo sou chèz doulè a, si se yon gason, nou va mete l a lanmò; men si se fi, li va viv.”
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 Men fanm saj yo te pè Bondye, yo pa t fè jan wa Égypte la te kòmande yo a, men yo te kite gason yo viv.
Forsothe the medewyues dredden God, and diden not bi the comaundement of the kyng of Egipt, but kepten knaue children.
18 Epi wa Égypte la te rele fanm saj yo. Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou te fè bagay sa a, e kite gason yo viv la?”
To whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which ye wolden do, that ye wolden kepe the children?
19 Fanm saj yo te di a Farawon: “Akoz fanm Ebre yo pa tankou fanm Ejipsyen yo. Yo gen anpil fòs, e yo akouche pitit yo avan ke fanm saj la rive kote yo.”
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 Alò Bondye te bay gras a fanm saj yo. Konsa, pèp Ebre a te vin miltipliye e te vin trè fò.
Therfor God dide wel to medewyues; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid greetli.
21 Akoz fanm saj yo te krent Bondye, Li te bay yo gran fanmi yo.
And for the mydewyues dredden God, he bildide `housis to hem.
22 Alò Farawon te kòmande tout pèp li a e te di: “Chak fis ki ne, nou va jete l nan lariviyè Nil lan, e chak fi nou va kenbe l vivan.”
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.
