ʻEkisotosi 1

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.

These ben the names of the sones of Israel, that entriden into Egipt with Jacob; alle entriden with her housis;

2 Ko Lupeni mo Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta,

Ruben, Symeon,

3 Mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Penisimani,

Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,

4 Mo Tani, mo Nafitali, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli.

Dan, and Neptalim, Gad, and Aser.

5 Pea ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻia Sēkope, ko e laumālie ʻe toko fitungofulu: he naʻe ʻi ʻIsipite ʻa Siosefa.

Therfor alle the soules of hem that yeden out of `the hipe of Jacob weren seuenti and fyue.

6 Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosefa, mo hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia.

Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his kynrede,

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.

the sones of Israel encreessiden, and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden the lond.

8 Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae tuʻi foʻou ke pule ki ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻa Siosefa.

A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, and seide to his puple, Lo!

9 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Vakai, ko e kakai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku tokolahi hake, pea ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kitautolu:

the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere than we;

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.”

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 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.

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 Ka neongo ʻae ʻāsili fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tupu pe ʻo fuʻu tokolahi hake. Pea naʻe mamahi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more.

13 Pea naʻe houtonga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite.

And Egipcians hatiden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden, and scorneden hem;

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.

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 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:

Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was clepid Sefora, the tother Fua;

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.”

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 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.

Forsothe the medewyues dredden God, and diden not bi the comaundement of the kyng of Egipt, but kepten knaue children.

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?”

To whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which ye wolden do, that ye wolden kepe the children?

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.”

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 Ko ia naʻe fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ongo māʻuli: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae kakai, ʻo fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi lahi.

Therfor God dide wel to medewyues; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid greetli.

21 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻae kau māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu ai hona fale.

And for the mydewyues dredden God, he bildide `housis to hem.

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.”

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.
