Eksodosy 1

1 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanak’ Isiraely izay niaraka tamin’ i Jakoba nankany Egypta; samy nandeha mbamin’ ny ankohonany avy izy rehetra:

Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (euery man and his housholde came thither with Iaakob)

2 Robena sy Simeona sy Levy ary Joda;

Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,

3 Isakara sy Zebolona ary Benjamina;

Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,

4 Dana sy Naftaly, ary Gada sy Asera.

Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 Ary ny isan’ ny olona rehetra naterak’ i Jakoba dia fito-polo; fa Josefa efa tany Egypta rahateo.

So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.

6 Ary maty Josefa sy ny rahalahiny rehetra mbamin’ izany taranaka rehetra izany.

Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.

7 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely niteraka ka nitombo betsaka sy nihamaro ary nihahery dia nihahery indrindra, ka dia henika azy ny tany.

And the children of Israel brought foorth fruite and encreased in aboundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mightie, so that the land was full of them.

8 Ary nisy mpanjaka vaovao nanjaka tany Egypta, izay tsy nahalala an’ i Josefa.

Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.

9 Ary izy niteny tamin’ ny vahoakany hoe: Indro, ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa maro sy mahery noho isika;

And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.

10 andeha hanaovantsika hevitra ireo, fandrao hihamaro izy, ka raha tahìny hisy ady, dia homba ny fahavalontsika koa izy ka hiady amintsika, ary dia hiakatra hiala amin’ ny tany.

Come, let vs worke wisely with them, least they multiplie, and it come to passe, that if there be warre, they ioyne them selues also vnto our enemies, and fight against vs, and get them out of the land.

11 Koa dia nanendreny mpifehy izy, mba hampahory azy amin’ ny fanompoany mafy. Ary nanao tanàna fitehirizana ho an’ i Farao izy, dia Pitoma sy Ramesesa.

Therefore did they set taskemasters ouer them, to keepe the vnder with burdens: and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh.

12 Nefa araka ny nampahoriany azy no vao mainka nihamaroany sy nitomboany kosa; ka dia natahotra ny Zanak’ Isiraely indrindra ny Egyptiana.

But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.

13 Dia nampanompoin’ ny Egyptiana fatratra ny Zanak’ Isiraely,

Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.

14 ka nataony mangidy ny fiainany tamin’ ny fanompoana mafy, dia tamin’ ny feta sy ny biriky mbamin’ ny fanompoana rehetra any an-tsaha, dia ny fanompoana rehetra izay nampanompoany azy fatratra.

Thus they made them weary of their liues by sore labour in clay and in bricke, and in al worke in the fielde, with all maner of bondage, which they layde vpon them most cruelly.

15 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta niteny tamin’ ny mpampivelona Hebreo (Sifra no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Poa no anaran’ ny anankiray)

Moreouer the King of Egypt commanded ye midwiues of the Ebrewe women, (of which the ones name was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah)

16 ka nanao hoe: Raha mampivelona ny vehivavy Hebreo ianareo, ka hitanareo eo amin’ ny fipetrahany fa zazalahy, dia vonoy, fa raha zazavavy kosa, dia velomy.

And sayde, When ye doe the office of a midwife to the women of the Ebrewes, and see them on their stooles, if it be a sonne, then yee shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her liue.

17 Nefa natahotra an’ Andriamanitra ny mpampivelona ka tsy nanao araka izay nolazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta taminy, fa novelominy ihany ny zazalahy.

Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.

18 Dia nampaka ny mpampivelona ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no nanao izany zavatra izany ianareo, ka novelominareo ihany ny zazalahy?

Then the King of Egypt called for the midwiues, and sayde vnto them, Why haue yee done thus, and haue preserued aliue the men children?

19 Fa hoy ny mpampivelona tamin’ i Farao: Tsy mba tahaka ny vehivavy Egyptiana ny vehivavy Hebreo; fa matanjaka izy, ka raha tsy mbola tonga any aminy akory ny mpampivelona, dia velona izy.

And the midwiues answered Pharaoh, Because the Ebrewe women are not as the women of Egypt: for they are liuely, and are deliuered yer the midwife come at them.

20 Dia nasian’ Andriamanitra soa ny mpampivelona; ary nihamaro sy nihahery indrindra ny olona.

God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.

21 Ary tamin’ izany, satria natahotra an’ Andriamanitra ny mpampivelona dia nomen’ Andriamanitra zanaka izy.

And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.

22 Dia nandidy ny vahoakany rehetra Farao ka nanao hoe: Ny zazalahy rehetra izay teraka dia ario an’ i Neily, fa ny zazavavy rehetra kosa no velomy.

Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Euery man childe that is borne, cast yee into the riuer, but reserue euery maide childe aliue.
