Exodus 1
1 Wen natul Jacob su welul som nu Egypt, wi sou lalos pa:
La-ke ngamabizo amadodana kaIsrayeli afika eGibhithe loJakobe; afika, ileyo laleyo lomuzi wayo,
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
uRubeni, uSimeyoni, uLevi, loJuda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
uIsakari, uZebuluni, loBhenjamini,
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, ac Asher.
uDani, loNafithali, uGadi, loAsheri.
5 Pisen mwet inge nukewa su ma in fwil natul Jacob na suwohs, oasr ke mwet itngoul. Joseph, sie sin wen natul Jacob, el oasr tari in acn Egypt.
Njalo yonke imiphefumulo eyaphuma ekhalweni lukaJakobe yayiyimiphefumulo engamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Kodwa uJosefa wayeseGibhithe.
6 Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
UJosefa wasesifa labo bonke abafowabo, lalesosizukulwana sonke.
7 tusruktu, fahko lun mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui oru elos oaclik acn nukewa in Egypt.
Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazalana, baba banengi, banda, baba lamandla kakhulukazi, ilizwe laze lagcwaliswa yibo.
8 Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
Kwasekuvela inkosi entsha phezu kweGibhithe eyayingamazi uJosefa.
9 El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui. Nga luman sensen elos ac ku liki kut.
Yasisithi esizweni sayo: Khangela, isizwe sabantwana bakoIsrayeli sinengi, futhi silamandla kulathi.
10 Fin oasr mweun elos ac mau kupasryang nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr ac lain kut, ac elos ac ku in kaingla liki mutunfacl sesr. Kut enenu in akngusrikya suk sie inkanek in taranulos in tia puseni.”
Wozani, asisihlakanipheleni, hlezi sande, njalo kuzakuthi lapho kusehla impi, laso sihlangane lezitha zethu, silwe simelene lathi, senyuke sisuke elizweni.
11 Ouinge mwet Egypt sang kutu mwet kol lalos sifacna in akupayela orekma lalos. Mwet Israel inge pa musaela siti Pithom ac Rameses — siti lulap inge kalkalyak tuh in acn in karingin mongo ac kufwa nukewa nu sin tokosra.
Ngakho bamisa phezu kwaso izinduna zesibhalo ukusihlupha ngemithwalo yabo. Njalo samakhela uFaro imizi eyiziphala, iPithoma leRamesesi.
12 Tusruktu finne yokelik mwe keok ma mwet Egypt sang aktoasrye mwet Israel kac, a pisen mwet Israel puseni liki meet ac osralik fin acn uh. Mwet Egypt mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Israel,
Kodwa kwathi ekusihlupheni kwaso kwang'khona sisanda, kwang'khona sisabalala. Ngakho banengwa ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
13 oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
Njalo amaGibhithe abasebenzisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngochuku,
14 Elos akorekmayalos in orek brick mwe musa, oayapa kain in orekma nukewa inima uh, ac oru arulana upa nu selos.
aze enza impilo zabo zababa ngomsebenzi onzima, ngodaka langezitina, langawo wonke umsebenzi emasimini; ngomsebenzi wabo wonke, ababenza bawenza ngodlakela.
15 Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
Inkosi yeGibhithe yasikhuluma lababelethisi amaHebherukazi, obizo lowokuqala lalinguShifira, lebizo lowesibili lalinguPhuwa,
16 El fahk nu seltal, “Ke komtal ac akisusye mutan Hebrew uh, fin ac tulik mukul se, na unilya; fin ac tulik mutan se, lela elan moul.”
yasisithi: Nxa libelethisa amaHebherukazi, lapho libabona ezihlalweni zokubeletha, uba kuyindodana, liyibulale; kodwa uba kuyindodakazi, iyekeleni iphila.
17 Tusruktu mutan akisus inge eltal etu in sangeng sin God, oru eltal tia aksol tokosra, a eltal fuhlela tulik mukul uh in moul.
Kodwa ababelethisi babemesaba uNkulunkulu, kabenzanga njengalokho yakhuluma kubo inkosi yeGibhithe, kodwa babayekela abafana baphila.
18 Ouinge tokosra el sapla nu sin mutan akisus ah, ac siyuk seltal, “Efu komtal ku oru ange? Efu komtal ku fuhlela tulik mukul uh moul?”
Inkosi yeGibhithe yasibiza ababelethisi, yathi kubo: Liyenzeleni linto ukuthi liyekele abafana baphile?
19 Eltal topuk, “Mutan Hebrew uh tia oana mutan Egypt uh, mweyen isus uh ma fisrasr se selos, oru tulik natulos isusla meet liki na mutan akisus uh sonolos.”
Ababelethisi basebesithi kuFaro: Ngoba amaHebherukazi kawanjengabafazi bamaGibhithe; ngoba alamandla, umbelethisi engakafiki kuwo, asebelethile.
20 Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
Ngalokhu uNkulunkulu wabenzela ababelethisi okuhle, labantu banda, baba lamandla kakhulu.
21 Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
Kwasekusithi, ngoba ababelethisi bamesaba uNkulunkulu, wabakhela imizi.
22 Na tokosra el sapelik nu sin mwet lal nukewa, “Tulik mukul Hebrew nukewa ma isusla, kowos sisla nu Infacl Nile, a lela tulik mutan uh in moul.”
UFaro waselaya isizwe sakhe sonke esithi: Yonke indodana ezalwayo liyiphosele emfuleni, kodwa yonke indodakazi liyiyekele iphile.
