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 into Egypt with Jacob. They entered, each one with his house:

2 Rubeni'ma, Simioni'ma, Levi'ma Juda'ma,

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, 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.

Therefore, all the souls of those who went forth from Jacob’s thigh were seventy. Now Joseph was in Egypt.

6 Hagi Josefe'ene ana maka afu'aganahe'zane ana knafima magokama vu'naza naga'a fri vagare'naze.

When he had died, along with all of his brothers and all of that generation,

7 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mofavrea kase'za eri hakare hazageno, tusi hankvenentake vahe fore hu'za Isipi mopa mani avite'naze.

the sons of Israel increased, and they multiplied like seedlings. And having been strengthened exceedingly, they filled the land.

8 Hagi henka Josefe'ma hu'nea zantmima keno antahino osu'nea ne'mo, Isipia kasefa kini efore huno kegava hu'ne.

Meanwhile, there arose a new king over Egypt, who was ignorant of Joseph.

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.

And he said to his people: “Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are many, and they are stronger than we are.

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 wisely oppress them, lest they multiply; and if any war should advance against us, they may be added to our enemies, and having fought against us, they might depart from the land.”

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.

And so he set over them masters of the works, in order to afflict them with burdens. And they built for Pharaoh the cities of the tabernacles: Pithom and Raamses.

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.

And the more they oppressed them, so much more did they multiply and increase.

13 Israeli vahera zamasunkura huozmantage'za eri'zana hanaveti'za eri'naze.

And the Egyptians hated the sons of Israel, and they afflicted them and mocked them.

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 they led their life directly into bitterness, with hard work in clay and brick, and with all kinds of servitude, so that they were being overwhelmed with the works of the land.

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 spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews, (one of whom one was called Shiphrah, another Puah)

16 Hibru ane'mozama mofavrema kasentenaku'ma nehanageta zamaza hutama kasezmantesuta, mofa'nema kasezmantesagetma, zmatrenke'za maniho, hagi ne'mofavrema kasezmantesageta zamahe friho.

instructing them: “When you will act as a midwife to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery has arrived: if it is male, put it to death; if it is female, retain it.”

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.

But the midwives feared God, and so they did not act according to the precept of the king of Egypt, but they kept the males safe.

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?

And summoning them, the king said, “What did you intend to do, so that you would save the boys?”

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.

They responded: “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. For they themselves have the wisdom of a midwife, and so they give birth before we can come to them.”

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.

Therefore, God acted favorably toward the midwives. And the people increased, and they were strengthened exceedingly.

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 built houses for them.

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.

Therefore, Pharaoh instructed all his people, saying: “Whatever will be born of the male sex, cast it into the river; whatever will be born of the female sex, retain it.”
