Exodo 1

1 Dagitoy dagiti nagan dagiti annak ti Israel a kimmuyog kenni Jacob a napan idiay Egipto, kadua ti tunggal maysa ti sangkabalayanna:

These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family.

2 Ruben, Simeon, Levi ken Juda,

Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,

3 Isacar, Zabulon ken Benjamin,

Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin,

4 Dan, Naftali, Gad ken Aser.

Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.

5 Pitopulo amin ti bilang dagiti kaputotan ni Jacob. Adda idin ni Jose idiay Egipto.

But Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls [born] of Jacob were seventy-five.

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 increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied 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 up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

9 Kinunana kadagiti tattaona, “Kitaenyo dagiti Israelita; ad-adu ken napigpigsada ngem datayo.

And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is 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 then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart 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 he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis.

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 as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.

13 Pinagtrabaho dagiti Egipcio dagiti Israelita iti nakaro.

And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force.

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 by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.

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 the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.

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 you do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.

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 appointed them; and they 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 is it that you have done this thing, 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 Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.

20 Sinalakniban ti Dios dagitoy a partera. Immadu ti dagiti tattao ken pimmigsada iti kasta unay.

And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.

21 Gapu ta managbuteng iti Dios dagiti partera, inikkanna ida iti pamilia.

And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.

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.”

And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.
