Eksodosy 1
1 Iretoañe ty tahina’ o ana’ Israele nivotrake e Mitsraime ao nindre amy Iakòbeo songa an-kasavereña’e:
NOW these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 i Reòbene, i Simone, i Levy naho Iehodà,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Isakare, i Zebolone naho i Beniamene,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 i Dane naho i Naftalý, i Gade naho i Asere.
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 Fitom-polo ty ia’ ondaty nasama’ Iakòbeo. Fa te Mitsraime añe ka t’Iosefe.
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Ie nivilasy t’Iosefe naho i rahalahi’e rey iaby naho ze hene nimpirai-nono ama’e,
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 le niraorao o ana’ Israeleo, nanarànake naho nitombo ho maro naho toe niha-ra’elahy vaho nahatsitsike i taney.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Ie amy zao, nitroatse hifehe i Mitsraime ty mpanjaka tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 Hoe re am’ondati’eo. Heheke, mandikoatse naho maozatse te aman-tika o ana’ Israeleo.
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Antao arè hinday iareo an-kihitse ke hitombo, hera mifetsak’ atoy ty aly le mete hirekets’ amo rafelahintikañeo iereo hialy aman-tika hienga an-tane atoy.
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11 Aa le nampijadoña’ iareo mpifelek’ ondevo, hamorekeke iareo an-kilankañe, le namboara’ iereo rova famandroñañe t’i Parò: i Pitòme naho i Raamèse.
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 Aa ndra te nañindra i fampisilofañey, mbe nitombo naho nangetseketseke avao ondatio; toly ndra nampangebahebake iareo o ana’ Israeleo,
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 le nampitoroñe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo an-kabodongero’e o ana’ Israeleo.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 Naho nanoeñe afero ty fiai’iareo, am-pifanehafañe mafe ami’ty birìke naho làlotse vaho amy ze hene fitoloñañe an-kivoke ey, le fonga an-tsenge-hery ty fampitromahañe nampanoeñe iareo.
And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
15 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amo mpanaha-mampiterake o nte-Evreoo (i Siprahae ty añara’ ty raike naho i Poahae ty añara’ ty raike):
And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 Hoe re: Ie mampiterake ty rakemba nte-Evre naho mahaisak’ aze am-pitoboham-pisamahañe, ie lahilahy, vonò; fa naho ampela, apoho ho veloñe.
And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 Fe nimpañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanàhao, le tsy nanoe’ iareo i nandilia’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimeiy, fa nenga’ iareo veloñe o lahilahio.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18 Aa le kinoi’ i mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey i mpanaha rey naho nanoa’e ty hoe, Akore ty anoa’ areo zao, te apo’ areo veloñe o lahilahio?
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 Hoe i mpanaha rey amy Parò, Toe tsy hambañe amo rakemba nte-Mitsraimeo o rakemba ana’ Israeleo fa mavitrike mahatoly aolo’ ty ivotraha’ ty mpanaha.
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 midwives come in unto them.
20 Aa le nanoan’ Añahare soa o mpanahao; vaho niha-tsiefa naho nitombo an-kaozarañe ondatio.
Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 Aa kanao nañeveñe aman’ Añahare o mpanahao le nampisavereñe’e.
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22 Le hoe ty nafanto’ i Parò am’ondati’e iabio: Afetsaho amy Nailey ze hene anadahy samake, fa tano ho veloñe o anak’ampelao.
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.
