Exodo 1
1 Dagitoy dagiti nagan dagiti annak ti Israel a kimmuyog kenni Jacob a napan idiay Egipto, kadua ti tunggal maysa ti sangkabalayanna:
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 Ruben, Simeon, Levi ken Juda,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Isacar, Zabulon ken Benjamin,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan, Naftali, Gad ken Aser.
Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 Pitopulo amin ti bilang dagiti kaputotan ni Jacob. Adda idin ni Jose idiay Egipto.
And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
6 Ket natay ni Jose, dagiti amin a kakabsatna, ken amin dayta a henerasion.
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 Nabunga dagiti Israelita, immadu ken pimmigsada iti kasta unay; napunno ti daga kadakuada.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
8 Ket nagturay ti maysa a baro nga ari iti entero nga Egipto, a saan a mangbigbigbig iti pakasaritaan ni Jose.
And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9 Kinunana kadagiti tattaona, “Kitaenyo dagiti Israelita; ad-adu ken napigpigsada ngem datayo.
And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we.
10 Umaykayo, tratoentayo ida a sisisirib. Ta no saan, ad-adda nga umaduda, ket no adda iti gubat, tumiponndanto kadagiti kabusortayo, a lumaban kadatayo, ket pumanawda iti daga.”
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 Isu a nangisaadda kadagiti kapatas a mangparigat kadakuada iti nadagsen a trabaho. Nangipatakder dagiti Israelita iti pagipenpenan a siudad para kenni Faraon: ti Pitom ken Rameses.
And they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
12 Ngem kas ad-adda a parparigaten dagiti Egipcio ida, ad-adda met nga umad-adu ken agwar-waras dagiti Israelita. Isu a nangrugi nga agbuteng dagiti Egipcio kadagiti Israelita.
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
13 Pinagtrabaho dagiti Egipcio dagiti Israelita iti nakaro.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
14 Pinagbalinda a nasaem ti panagbiagda babaen iti nadagsen a panagtrabaho iti alketran ken ladrilio, ken iti amin a kita ti trabaho iti talon. Amin a trabaho nga impaaramidda kadakuada ket narigat.
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 Ket nakisarita ti ari iti Egipto kadagiti partera a Hebreo; ti nagan ti maysa ket Zifra ken ti maysa ket Pua.
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 Kinunana, “No tulonganyo dagiti Hebreo a babbai iti paganakan, siputanyo no aganakda. No lalaki ti maladaga, masapul a patayenyo isuna; ngem no babai daytoy, bay-anyo nga agbiag.”
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 Ngem adda panagbuteng dagiti partera iti Dios ket saanda nga inaramid ti imbilin ti ari iti Egipto kadakuada; ngem ketdi, binay-anda nga agbiag dagiti lallaki a maladaga.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive.
18 Pinaayaban ti ari ti Egipto dagiti partera ket kinunana kadakuada, “Apay a binay-anyo nga agbiag dagiti lallaki a maladaga?”
And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive?
19 Simmungbat dagiti partera kenni Faraon, “Dagiti babbai a Hebreo ket saan a kasla kadagiti babbai nga Egipcio; napigsada ken nakaanakdan sakbay a sumangpet ti partera kadakuada.”
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 Sinalakniban ti Dios dagitoy a partera. Immadu ti dagiti tattao ken pimmigsada iti kasta unay.
And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
21 Gapu ta managbuteng iti Dios dagiti partera, inikkanna ida iti pamilia.
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22 Binilin ni Faraon dagiti amin a tattaona, “Masapul nga ibellengyo iti karayan ti tunggal lalaki a maiyanak, ngem mabalinyo a bay-an nga agbiag ti tunggal babai.”
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.
