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.
And these are the names of the sons of Israel who had come into Egypt; with Jacob had they come, each with his household:
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.
And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
6 A make iho la o Iosepa, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau, a me ia hanauna a pau.
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, 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.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
8 A ku mai la kekahi alii hou ma Aigupita, aole i ike ia Iosepa.
And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not 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.
And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger 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 on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, if war occur, they take side with our enemies and fight against us, and go up 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.
And they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
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 spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
13 Hoohana iho la ko Aigupita i na mamo a Iseraela me ka hookoikoi.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
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 embittered their life with hard labour in clay and bricks, and in all manner of labour in the field: all their labour with which they made them serve was with harshness.
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;
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives — of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was 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 ye help the Hebrew women in bearing, and see [them] on the stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if 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 did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children 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?
And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children 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.
And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne 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.
And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
21 A no ka makau ana o na palekeiki i ke Akua, a no kona hoomahuahua ana i ko lakou mau ohana,
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
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.
Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, but every daughter ye shall save alive.
