Ekisodho 1
1 Aya ndiwo mazita avanakomana vaIsraeri vakaenda naJakobho kuIjipiti, mumwe nomumwe nemhuri yake:
These ben the names of the sones of Israel, that entriden into Egipt with Jacob; alle entriden with her housis;
2 Rubheni, Simeoni, Revhi naJudha;
Ruben, Symeon,
3 Isakari, Zebhuruni naBhenjamini;
Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
4 Dhani naNafutari; Gadhi naAsheri.
Dan, and Neptalim, Gad, and Aser.
5 Zvizvarwa zvose zvaJakobho zvakanga zviri makumi manomwe pakuwanda; Josefa akanga atova muIjipiti.
Therfor alle the soules of hem that yeden out of `the hipe of Jacob weren seuenti and fyue.
6 Zvino Josefa nehama dzake dzose navose vezera iroro vakafa,
Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his kynrede,
7 asi vaIsraeri vakaberekana vakawanda zvikuru uye vakava vazhinji kwazvo, zvokuti nyika yakanga yazara navo.
the sones of Israel encreessiden, and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden the lond.
8 Ipapo mambo mutsva, akanga asingazivi nezvaJosefa, akatanga kutonga muIjipiti.
A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, and seide to his puple, Lo!
9 Akati kuvanhu vake, “Tarirai, vaIsraeri vanyanya kuwanda kwazvo.
the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere than we;
10 Uyai tivafungire zano nokuti vangazonyanya kuwanda uye kana hondo ikamuka, vangazobatana navavengi vedu, vakarwa nesu vakazobva munyika.”
come ye, wiseli oppresse we it, lest perauenture it be multiplied; and lest, if batel risith ayens vs, it be addid to oure enemyes, and go out of the lond, whanne we ben ouercomun.
11 Saka vakagadza vatariri vebasa pamusoro pavo kuti vavadzvinyirire nebasa rechibharo, uye vakavaka Pitomu neRamesesi kuti ave maguta amatura aFaro.
And so he made maistris of werkis souereyns to hem, that thei schulden turmente hem with chargis. And thei maden citees of tabernaclis to Farao, Fiton, and Ramesses.
12 Asi pavakanyanya kudzvinyirirwa ndipo pavakanyanya kuwanda uye nokupararira; saka vaIjipita vakasvika pakutya vaIsraeri
And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more.
13 uye vakavashandisa zvino utsinye.
And Egipcians hatiden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden, and scorneden hem;
14 Vakashungurudza upenyu hwavo nebasa rakaoma rezvidhina nedhaka uye nemhando dzose dzebasa romuminda; vaIjipita vakavashandisa noutsinye mubasa rakaoma.
and brouyten her lijf to bitternesse bi hard werkis of cley and to tijl stoon, and bi al seruage, bi which thei weren oppressid in the werkis of erthe.
15 Mambo weIjipiti akati kuna vananyamukuta vechiHebheru vainzi Shifura naPua,
Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was clepid Sefora, the tother Fua;
16 “Pamunobatsira vakadzi vechiHebheru pakusununguka uye mukavacherechedza vachisununguka, kana ari mukomana, mumuuraye; kana ari musikana murege ari mupenyu.”
and he commaundide to hem, Whanne ye schulen do the office of medewyues to Ebrew wymmen, and the tyme of childberyng schal come, if it is a knaue child, sle ye him; if it is a womman, kepe ye.
17 Asi, vananyamukuta vakanga vachitya Mwari, uye havana kuita zvavakanga varayirwa namambo weIjipiti kuti vaite; vakarega vanakomana vari vapenyu.
Forsothe the medewyues dredden God, and diden not bi the comaundement of the kyng of Egipt, but kepten knaue children.
18 Ipapo mambo weIjipiti akadana vananyamukuta akavabvunza achiti, “Seiko maita izvi? Seiko marega vana vechikomana vari vapenyu?”
To whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which ye wolden do, that ye wolden kepe the children?
19 Vananyamukuta vakapindura Faro vachiti, “Vakadzi vechiHebheru havana kufanana navakadzi veIjipiti; vane simba uye vanosununguka vananyamukuta vasati vasvika.”
Whiche answeriden, Ebrew wymmen ben not as the wymmen of Egipt, for thei han kunnyng of the craft of medewijf, and childen bifore that we comen to hem.
20 Saka Mwari akaitira vananyamukuta zvakanaka uye vanhu vakawedzerwa vakava vazhinji kwazvo.
Therfor God dide wel to medewyues; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid greetli.
21 Uye nokuda kwokuti vananyamukuta vaitya Mwari, iye akavapa mhuri dzavo pachavo.
And for the mydewyues dredden God, he bildide `housis to hem.
22 Ipapo Faro akarayira vanhu vose kuti, “Vanakomana vose vanoberekwa munofanira kuvakanda murwizi Nairi, asi murege vanasikana vose vari vapenyu.”
Therfor Farao comaundide al his puple, and seide, What euer thing of male kynde is borun to Ebrewis, `caste ye into the flood; what euer thing of wymmen kynde, kepe ye.
