Exodo 1

1Ito 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.) 2Si Ruben, si Simeon, si Levi, at si Juda; 3Si Issachar, si Zabulon at si Benjamin; 4Si Dan at si Nephtali, si Gad at si Aser. 5At lahat ng tao na lumabas sa balakang ni Jacob ay pitong pung tao: at si Jose ay nasa Egipto na. 6At namatay si Jose, at ang lahat niyang kapatid at ang buong lahing yaon. 7At ang mga anak ni Israel ay lumago, at kumapal na maigi at dumami, at naging totoong makapangyarihan; at ang lupain ay napuno nila. 8May bumangon ngang isang bagong hari sa Egipto, na hindi kilala si Jose. 9At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bayan, Narito, ang bayan ng mga anak ni Israel ay higit at lalong malakas kay sa atin: 10Hayo'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. 11Kaya'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. 12Datapuwa't habang dinadalamhati nila sila, ay lalong dumadami at lalong kumakapal. At kinapootan nila ang mga anak ni Israel. 13At pinapaglingkod na may kabagsikan ng mga Egipcio ang mga anak ni Israel: 14At 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. 15At 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: 16At 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. 17Datapuwa'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. 18At 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? 19At 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. 20At ang Dios ay gumawa ng mabuti sa mga hilot: at ang bayan ay kumapal, at naging totoong makapangyarihan. 21At nangyari, na sapagka't ang mga hilot ay natakot sa Dios, ay iginawa niya sila ng mga sangbahayan. 22At 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.

1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob): 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already. 6Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation. 7The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph. 9He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we. 10Come, 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.” 11Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses. 12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve, 14and 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. 15The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah, 16and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew 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.” 17But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive. 18The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and have saved the boys alive?” 19The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” 20God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty. 21Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families. 22Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

1Dit nu zijn de namen der zonen van Israel, die in Egypte gekomen zijn, met Jakob; zij kwamen er in, elk met zijn huis. 2Ruben, Simeon, Levi, en Juda; 3Issaschar, Zebulon, en Benjamin; 4Dan en Nafthali, Gad en Aser. 5Al de zielen nu, die uit Jakobs heup voortgekomen zijn, waren zeventig zielen; doch Jozef was in Egypte. 6Toen nu Jozef gestorven was, en al zijn broeders, en al dat geslacht, 7Zo werden de kinderen Israels vruchtbaar en wiesen overvloedig, en zij vermeerderden, en werden gans zeer machtig, zodat het land met hen vervuld werd. 8Daarna stond een nieuwe koning op over Egypte, die Jozef niet gekend had; 9Die zeide tot zijn volk: Ziet, het volk der kinderen Israels is veel, ja, machtiger dan wij. 10Komt aan, laat ons wijselijk tegen hetzelve handelen, opdat het niet vermenigvuldige, en het geschiede, als er enige krijg voorvalt, dat het zich ook niet vervoege tot onze vijanden, en tegen ons strijde, en uit het land optrekke. 11En zij zetten oversten der schattingen over hetzelve, om het te verdrukken met hun lasten; want men bouwde voor Farao schatsteden, Pitom en Raamses. 12Maar hoe meer zij het verdrukten, hoe meer het vermeerderde, en hoe meer het wies; zodat zij verdrietig waren vanwege de kinderen Israels. 13En de Egyptenaars deden de kinderen Israels dienen met hardigheid. 14Zodat zij hun het leven bitter maakten met harden dienst, in leem en in tichelstenen, en met allen dienst op het veld, met al hun dienst, dien zij hen deden dienen met hardigheid. 15Daarenboven sprak de koning van Egypte tot de vroedvrouwen der Hebreinnen, welker ener naam Sifra, en de naam der andere Pua was; 16En zeide: Wanneer gij de Hebreinnen in het baren helpt, en ziet haar op de stoelen; is het een zoon, zo doodt hem; maar is het een dochter, zo laat haar leven! 17Doch de vroedvrouwen vreesden God, en deden niet, gelijk als de koning van Egypte tot haar gesproken had, maar zij behielden de knechtjes in het leven. 18Toen riep de koning van Egypte de vroedvrouwen, en zeide tot haar: Waarom hebt gij deze zaak gedaan, dat gij de knechtjes in het leven behouden hebt? 19En de vroedvrouwen zeiden tot Farao: Omdat de Hebreinnen niet zijn gelijk de Egyptische vrouwen; want zij zijn sterk; eer de vroedvrouw tot haar komt, zo hebben zij gebaard. 20Daarom deed God aan de vroedvrouwen goed; en dat volk vermeerderde, en het werd zeer machtig. 21En het geschiedde, dewijl de vroedvrouwen God vreesden, zo bouwde Hij haar huizen. 22Toen gebood Farao aan al zijn volk, zeggende: Alle zonen, die geboren worden, zult gij in de rivier werpen, maar al de dochteren in het leven behouden.
