Exodo 1
1 Dagitoy dagiti nagan dagiti annak ti Israel a kimmuyog kenni Jacob a napan idiay Egipto, kadua ti tunggal maysa ti sangkabalayanna:
NOW THESE are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt with Jacob; every man came 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 came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt already.
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 increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Ket nagturay ti maysa a baro nga ari iti entero nga Egipto, a saan a mangbigbigbig iti pakasaritaan ni Jose.
Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 Kinunana kadagiti tattaona, “Kitaenyo dagiti Israelita; ad-adu ken napigpigsada ngem datayo.
And he said unto his people: 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us;
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, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them 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.
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
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 the more they spread abroad. And they were adread because of the children of Israel.
13 Pinagtrabaho dagiti Egipcio dagiti Israelita iti nakaro.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour.
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 made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour.
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 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 do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birthstool: if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be 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 commanded them, but saved the men-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 for the midwives, and said unto them: 'Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-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 unto Pharaoh: 'Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto 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 waxed very mighty.
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.”
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying: 'Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.'
