1 Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe haʻu ki ʻIsipite; ʻae tangata kotoa pē mo ʻene kau nofoʻanga naʻe haʻu mo Sēkope.
以色列的众子,各带家眷,和雅各一同来到埃及。他们的名字记在下面。
2 Ko Lupeni mo Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta,
有吕便、西缅、利未、犹大、
3 Mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Penisimani,
以萨迦、西布伦、便雅悯、
4 Mo Tani, mo Nafitali, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli.
但、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设。
5 Pea ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻia Sēkope, ko e laumālie ʻe toko fitungofulu: he naʻe ʻi ʻIsipite ʻa Siosefa.
凡从雅各而生的,共有七十人。约瑟已经在埃及。
6 Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosefa, mo hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia.
约瑟和他的弟兄,并那一代的人,都死了。
7 Pea naʻe fanafanau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tupu pe ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, ʻonau hoko ʻo mālohi ʻaupito: pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻiate kinautolu.
以色列人生养众多,并且繁茂,极其强盛,满了那地。
8 Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae tuʻi foʻou ke pule ki ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻa Siosefa.
有不认识约瑟的新王起来,治理埃及,
9 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Vakai, ko e kakai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku tokolahi hake, pea ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kitautolu:
对他的百姓说:“看哪,这以色列民比我们还多,又比我们强盛。
10 Ko eni, ke tau fai fakapotopoto kiate kinautolu; telia naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hoko ha tau, tenau kau mo hotau fili, ʻo tauʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe hiki ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.”
来吧,我们不如用巧计待他们,恐怕他们多起来,日后若遇什么争战的事,就连合我们的仇敌攻击我们,离开这地去了。”
11 Ko ia naʻa nau fakanofo ai ʻae kau enginaki ngāue ke fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kavenga. Pea naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae kolo tukungakoloa ʻe ua moʻo Felo; ko Pitomi, mo Lamisisi.
于是埃及人派督工的辖制他们,加重担苦害他们。他们为法老建造两座积货城,就是比东和兰塞。
12 Ka neongo ʻae ʻāsili fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tupu pe ʻo fuʻu tokolahi hake. Pea naʻe mamahi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
只是越发苦害他们,他们越发多起来,越发蔓延;埃及人就因以色列人愁烦。
13 Pea naʻe houtonga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite.
埃及人严严地使以色列人做工,
14 ‌ʻO nau fakamamahiʻi ʻenau moʻui ʻi he [ngāue ]pōpula ki he kelepulu, mo e makaʻumea, mo e ngāue kehekehe ʻi he ngoue: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau pule kenau fai, naʻe fakamamahi.
使他们因做苦工觉得命苦;无论是和泥,是做砖,是做田间各样的工,在一切的工上都严严地待他们。
15 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he kau māʻuli ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sifila, mo e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Piua:
有希伯来的两个收生婆,一名施弗拉,一名普阿;埃及王对她们说:
16 ‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOka mo ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻuli ki he kau fefine Hepelū, ʻo mamata ki heʻenau fāʻele; kapau ko e tama tangata, te mo tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau ko e taʻahine, pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
“你们为希伯来妇人收生,看她们临盆的时候,若是男孩,就把他杀了;若是女孩,就留她存活。”
17 Ka naʻe manavahē ʻae ongo māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinaua, ka naʻa na fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata.
但是收生婆敬畏 神,不照埃及王的吩咐行,竟存留男孩的性命。
18 Pea fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke haʻu ʻae ongo māʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā kuo mo fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kuo mo fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata?”
埃及王召了收生婆来,说:“你们为什么做这事,存留男孩的性命呢?”
19 Pea talaange ʻe he ongo māʻuli kia Felo, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tatau ʻae kau fefine Hepelū mo e kau fefine ʻIsipite; he ʻoku nau mālohi, pea ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko atu ʻae kau māʻuli kiate kinautolu.”
收生婆对法老说:“因为希伯来妇人与埃及妇人不同;希伯来妇人本是健壮的,收生婆还没有到,她们已经生产了。”
20 Ko ia naʻe fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ongo māʻuli: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae kakai, ʻo fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi lahi.
神厚待收生婆。以色列人多起来,极其强盛。
21 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻae kau māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu ai hona fale.
收生婆因为敬畏 神, 神便叫她们成立家室。
22 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ki hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fāʻeleʻi te mou lī ia ki he vaitafe, pea ko e fānau fefine kotoa pē te mou fakamoʻui.”
法老吩咐他的众民说:“以色列人所生的男孩,你们都要丢在河里;一切的女孩,你们要存留她的性命。”
