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 [God prevails], who came into Egypt [Abode of slavery] (every man and his household came with Jacob [Supplanter]):
2 Si Ruben, si Simeon, si Levi, at si Juda;
Reuben [See, a son!], Simeon [Hearing], Levi [United with], and Judah [Praised],
3 Si Issachar, si Zabulon at si Benjamin;
Issachar [Hire, Reward], Zebulun [Living together], and Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south],
4 Si Dan at si Nephtali, si Gad at si Aser.
Dan [He judged] and Naphtali [My wrestling], Gad [Good fortune] and Asher [Happy].
5 At lahat ng tao na lumabas sa balakang ni Jacob ay pitong pung tao: at si Jose ay nasa Egipto na.
All the souls who came out of Jacob [Supplanter]’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph [May he add] was in Egypt [Abode of slavery] already.
6 At namatay si Jose, at ang lahat niyang kapatid at ang buong lahing yaon.
Joseph [May he add] died, as did 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.
The children of Israel [God prevails] were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 May bumangon ngang isang bagong hari sa Egipto, na hindi kilala si Jose.
Now there arose a new king over Egypt [Abode of slavery], who didn’t know Joseph [May he add].
9 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bayan, Narito, ang bayan ng mga anak ni Israel ay higit at lalong malakas kay sa atin:
He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel [God prevails] are more and mightier than we.
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.
Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and escape 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.
Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities 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 they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They were grieved because of the children of Israel [God prevails].
13 At pinapaglingkod na may kabagsikan ng mga Egipcio ang mga anak ni Israel:
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] ruthlessly made the children of Israel [God prevails] serve,
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 they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
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:
The king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] spoke to the Hebrew [Immigrant] midwives, of whom 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.
and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew [Immigrant] women, and see them on the birth stool; if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
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 midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] ordered them, but saved the baby boys alive.
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?
The king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and have saved the boys alive?”
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.
The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew [Immigrant] women are not like the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
20 At ang Dios ay gumawa ng mabuti sa mga hilot: at ang bayan ay kumapal, at naging totoong makapangyarihan.
God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21 At nangyari, na sapagka't ang mga hilot ay natakot sa Dios, ay iginawa niya sila ng mga sangbahayan.
Because the midwives feared 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.
Pharaoh enjoined all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
