Izlazak 1
1 Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
NOW THESE are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt with Jacob; every man came with his household:
2 Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
And he said unto his people: 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us;
10 Nego hajde mudro da postupamo s njima, da se ne množe, i kad nastane rat da ne pristanu s neprijateljima našim i ne udare na nas i ne otidu iz zemlje.
come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.'
11 I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were adread because of the children of Israel.
13 I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour.
14 I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour.
15 I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah;
16 I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
and he said: 'When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birthstool: if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.'
17 Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
18 A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
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 A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
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 midwife come unto them.'
20 I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.
22 Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
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.'
