Exodo 1
1 Ito nga ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel, na nagsipasok sa Egipto: (bawa't lalake at ang kani-kaniyang sangbahayan ay sumama kay Jacob.)
Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.
2 Si Ruben, si Simeon, si Levi, at si Juda;
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Si Issachar, si Zabulon at si Benjamin;
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Si Dan at si Nephtali, si Gad at si Aser.
Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 At lahat ng tao na lumabas sa balakang ni Jacob ay pitong pung tao: at si Jose ay nasa Egipto na.
All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons: and Joseph had come to Egypt before them.
6 At namatay si Jose, at ang lahat niyang kapatid at ang buong lahing yaon.
Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
7 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay lumago, at kumapal na maigi at dumami, at naging totoong makapangyarihan; at ang lupain ay napuno nila.
And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.
8 May bumangon ngang isang bagong hari sa Egipto, na hindi kilala si Jose.
Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
9 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bayan, Narito, ang bayan ng mga anak ni Israel ay higit at lalong malakas kay sa atin:
And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are:
10 Hayo't tayo'y magpakadunong sa kanila; baka sila'y dumami, at mangyari, na, pagka nagkadigma, ay makisanib pati sila sa ating mga kaaway, at lumaban sa atin, at magsilayas sa lupain.
Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land.
11 Kaya't nangaglagay sila ng mga tagapagpaatag, upang dalamhatiin sila sa atang sa kanila. At kanilang ipinagtayo si Faraon ng mga bayan na kamaligan, na dili iba't ang Phithom at Raamses.
So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
12 Datapuwa't habang dinadalamhati nila sila, ay lalong dumadami at lalong kumakapal. At kinapootan nila ang mga anak ni Israel.
But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians.
13 At pinapaglingkod na may kabagsikan ng mga Egipcio ang mga anak ni Israel:
And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do:
14 At kanilang pinapamuhay sila ng masaklap sa pamamagitan ng mahirap na paglilingkod, sa argamasa at sa laryo, at sa lahat ng sarisaring paglilingkod sa bukid, at sa lahat ng paglilingkod nila na ipinapaglingkod sa kanila, na may kabagsikan.
And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.
15 At ang hari sa Egipto ay nagsalita sa mga hilot na Hebrea, na ang pangalan ng isa ay Siphra, at ang pangalan ng isa ay Phua:
And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),
16 At kaniyang sinabi, Paghilot ninyo sa mga babaing Hebrea, at pagtingin ninyo sa kanila sa dakong panganganakan; kung lalake, ay papatayin nga ninyo: datapuwa't kung babae ay inyong bubuhayin.
When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.
17 Datapuwa't ang mga hilot ay nangatakot sa Dios at hindi ginawa ang gaya ng iniutos sa kanila ng hari sa Egipto, kundi iniligtas na buhay ang mga batang lalake.
But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.
18 At ipinatawag ng hari sa Egipto ang mga hilot, at sinabi sa kanila, Bakit ninyo ginawa ang bagay na ito, at inyong iniligtas na buhay ang mga batang lalake?
And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?
19 At sinabi ng mga hilot kay Faraon, Sapagka't ang mga babaing Hebrea ay hindi gaya ng mga babaing Egipcia; sapagka't sila'y maliliksi, at nakapanganak na, bago dumating ang hilot sa kanila.
And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.
20 At ang Dios ay gumawa ng mabuti sa mga hilot: at ang bayan ay kumapal, at naging totoong makapangyarihan.
And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.
21 At nangyari, na sapagka't ang mga hilot ay natakot sa Dios, ay iginawa niya sila ng mga sangbahayan.
And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.
22 At iniutos ni Faraon sa kaniyang buong bayan, na sinasabi, Itatapon ninyo sa ilog bawa't lalake na ipanganak, at bawa't babae ay ililigtas ninyong buhay.
And Pharaoh gave orders to all his people, saying, Every son who comes to birth is to be put into the river, but every daughter may go on living.
