Zmavarene 1
1 Israeli ne' mofavre naga'mo'za a'mofavre zamine Isipima nezmafa Jekopu'enema vu'naza naga'mokizmi zamagi'a ama'ne,
These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
2 Rubeni'ma, Simioni'ma, Levi'ma Juda'ma,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Isaka'ma, Zebuluni'ma, Benzamini'ma,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dani'ma Naftali'ma, Gati ene Asa'e.
Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 Hagi Josefe'a ko Isipi umani'nege'za, Jekopumpinti fore'ma hu'naza nagara maka 70'a naga'mo'za vu'naze. Hianagi Josefe'a ko Isipi umani'ne.
The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
6 Hagi Josefe'ene ana maka afu'aganahe'zane ana knafima magokama vu'naza naga'a fri vagare'naze.
Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mofavrea kase'za eri hakare hazageno, tusi hankvenentake vahe fore hu'za Isipi mopa mani avite'naze.
but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8 Hagi henka Josefe'ma hu'nea zantmima keno antahino osu'nea ne'mo, Isipia kasefa kini efore huno kegava hu'ne.
Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
9 Ana kini ne'mo'a vahe'agura amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Keho, Israeli vahe'mo'za tagrira tagatere'za, rama'a vahe fore nehazageno, hankave zamimo'a tagatenere.
“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
10 E'ina hu'negu enketa mago'a kanku haketa zamazeri haviza hanunke'za vahera fore huhakarea osnaze. Ha'ma fore hanige'za, ha' vahetirega ante'za ha' hunerante'za kumatia atre'za vugahaze.
Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
11 Anage hige'za, kazokzo eri'za kva vahe zamazeri otizageno, Isipi kini ne' Fero'ma fenoma antesnia rankumatre, Pitomu kuma'ene, Rameses kuma'enena Israeli vahera zamazeri haviza nehazage'za ki'naze.
So the Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. As a result, they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
12 Tusiza hu'za Israeli vahera zamazeri haviza hazanagi, mago'ane rupazi hu'za rama'a nehazageno, Isipi vahe'mo'za Israeli vahekura koro huzmante'naze.
But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
13 Israeli vahera zamasunkura huozmantage'za eri'zana hanaveti'za eri'naze.
They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
14 Tusi'a eri'za fukinteti briki trohu eri'zane, hozafi eri'zane mago'a eri'za zami'za, nomani'zazmia tusiza hu'za zamazeri amuho hazage'za zamarimpa akahezampi mani'naze.
and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.
15 Anante Isipi kini ne'mo'a, Hibru a'ne'mo'zama mofavre'ma kasenteku'ma nehzageno zamazama hukema kse nezmia Hibru a'trena, Sifrane Puagiznia amanage huno znasmi'ne,
Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16 Hibru ane'mozama mofavrema kasentenaku'ma nehanageta zamaza hutama kasezmantesuta, mofa'nema kasezmantesagetma, zmatrenke'za maniho, hagi ne'mofavrema kasezmantesageta zamahe friho.
“When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them on the birthstools. If the child is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter, let her live.”
17 Hianagi ana a'tre'mokea Anumzamofonku koro nehuke, Isipi kini ne'mo'ma hanave kema huno'ma ne' mofavre'ramima zamahe frihoma hu'neana, zamahe ofri zmatrege'za mani'naze.
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
18 Ana higeno Izipi kini ne'mo'a ana a'trena ke higeke akeno anage huno znantahige'ne, Na'a higetna ne' mofavre'rmina zamahe ofrita zmatrake'za mani'naze?
So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 Mofavrema zamaza huke kasezmi a'tre'mokea amanage huke Ferona kenona'a hunte'na'e, Hibru a'ne'mo'za zamagra Isipi a'negnara osu'za hanavenentake hu'nazanki'za, uohanati'nonke'za hanatinonke'za ame'ama hu'za mofavrea kasenentaze.
The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
20 Ana higeno Anumzamo'a mofavrema zamazama huke kasezami a'tre'na knare huznantegeno, Israeli vahera kase hakare hazage'za hanavenentake vahetami rama'a fore hu'za vu'naze.
So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
21 Ana a'tremokea Anumzamofonku koro nehaku huno Anumzamo'a asomu huznantegeke znagranena agafa huke mofavre kasente'na'e.
And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
22 Anante Fero'a ana maka Isipi vahe'a amanage huno hanavenentake ke huzmante'ne, Hibru a'nemo'zama ne' mofavrema kasezmantesazana, zmavaretma Naeli timpi matevu nezmatreta, mofa'nema kasezmantesagetma ozmahe zmatrenke'za maniho.
Then Pharaoh commanded all his people: “Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live.”
