Pukaana 1
1 EIA na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela, i hele aku me Iakoba i Aigupita, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele aku me ko ka hale ona.
Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
2 O Reubena, o Simeona, o Levi, o Iuda,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 O Isakara, o Zebuluna, o Beniamina,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 O Dana, o Napetali, o Gada a o Asera.
Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 O na mea ola a pau i puka mai ai, mai loko ae o ko Iakoba puhaka, he kanahiku lakou; a ma Aigupita no o Iosepa.
All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 A make iho la o Iosepa, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau, a me ia hanauna a pau.
Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
7 Hanau nui iho la na mamo a Iseraela, a laha loa ae la, a kawowo loa: ua nui loa ko lakou ikaika, a ua piha hoi ka aina ia lakou.
The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 A ku mai la kekahi alii hou ma Aigupita, aole i ike ia Iosepa.
Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
9 I mai la ia i kona poe kanaka, Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka nui o na kanaka mamo a Iseraela, a me ko lakou ikaika i ko kakou.
He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10 E hana maalea kakou ia lakou; o nui auanei lakou, a hiki mai ke kaua, huipu lakou me ko kakou poe enemi, a e kaua mai hoi ia kakou, a pela ia lakou e pii aku ai mai ka aina aku.
Come, let’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”
11 A hoonoho aku lakou i na luna hooluhi maluna o lakou, i mea e hookaumaha loa ai ia lakou i na haua nui. A hana iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale papaa no Parao, o Pitoma, a o Ramese.
Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.
12 E like me ko lakou hooluhi ana mai, pela no hoi ko lakou nei mahuahua, a me ka palahalaha ana aku. A makau loa lakou i na mamo a Iseraela.
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.
13 Hoohana iho la ko Aigupita i na mamo a Iseraela me ka hookoikoi.
The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,
14 Hooawahia iho la lakou i ko lakou nei ola ana i ka hana luhi iloko o ka palolo, a i na pohakulepo, a me na hana a pau ma ka mahinaai: a o ka hana a pau a lakou i hoohana iho ai ia lakou nei, he mea koikoi ia.
and they made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
15 Olelo mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki Hebera, o Sipera ka inoa o kekahi, a o Pua hoi ka inoa o kekahi;
The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah,
16 I mai la, A i palekeiki olua i na wahine Hebera, a nana olua iloko o na paholoi; ina he keikikane ia, alaila e pepehi olua ia ia; aka ina he kaikamahine, e ola no ia.
and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
17 Aka, makau iho la na palekeiki i ke Akua; aole laua i hana i ka mea a ke alii o Aigupita i kauoha ai in laua; aka, hoola ae la laua i na keikikane.
But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.
18 Kii mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki, i mai la ia laua, No ke aha la olua i hana'i i keia mea, a hoola i na keikikane?
The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing and saved the boys alive?”
19 I aku la na palekeiki ia Parao, No ka mea, aole i like na wahine Hebera me ko Aigupita poe wahine, he hiki wawe ko lakou, aole e hiki aku na palekeiki, a hanau e no lakou.
The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
20 A hoomaikai mai la ke Akua i na palekeiki: a mahuahua aku la na kanaka, a ua nui loa no hoi ko lakou ikaika.
God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21 A no ka makau ana o na palekeiki i ke Akua, a no kona hoomahuahua ana i ko lakou mau ohana,
Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
22 Kauoha ae la o Parao i kona poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, O na keikikane a pau ke hanau mai, e kiola aku ia lakou i ka muliwai, aka, o na kaikamahine a pau, ka oukou ia e hoola ai.
Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
