Exodus 1
1 Now, these, are the names of the Sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, with Jacob, did each man and his household come in: —
Ово су имена синова Израиљевих који дођоше у Мисир, дођоше с Јаковом, сваки са својом породицом:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Рувим, Симеун, Левије и Јуда,
3 Issachar, Zebulon, and Benjamin;
Исахар, Завулон и Венијамин,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Дан и Нефталим, Гад и Асир.
5 And it came to pass that all the persons who were descended from Jacob were seventy souls, —but, Joseph, was already in Egypt.
А свега беше их од бедара Јаковљевих седамдесет душа с Јосифом, који беше у Мисиру.
6 So then Joseph died and all his brethren, and all that generation.
А Јосиф умре и сва браћа његова и сав онај нараштај.
7 But the sons of Israel, were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and waxed mighty, with exceeding vigour, —so that the land was filled with them.
И синови Израиљеви народише се и умножише се, и напредоваше и осилише веома, да их се земља напуни.
8 Then arose a new king over Egypt, —who had not known Joseph.
Тада наста нов цар у Мисиру, који не знаше за Јосифа;
9 So he said, unto his people, Lo! the people of the sons of Israel are too many and mighty for us!
И рече народу свом: Гле, народ синова Израиљевих већи је и силнији од нас.
10 Come on! let us shew ourselves wise with regard to them, lest they so multiply that it shall come to pass when war befalleth us, that they also, shall join themselves unto them who hate us, and shall make war upon us. and then go up out of the land.
Него хајде мудро да поступамо с њима, да се не множе, и кад настане рат да не пристану с непријатељима нашим и не ударе на нас и не оду из земље.
11 So they set over them chiefs of tribute, to the end they might humiliate them with their burdens, —and they built store-cities for Pharaoh, even Pithom and Raamses.
И поставише над њима настојнике да их муче тешким пословима; и грађаше народ Израиљев Фараону градове Питом и Рамесу.
12 But the more they were humiliating them, the more, were they multiplying, and, the more, were they breaking forth, so they were filled with alarm because of the sons of Israel.
Али што га више мучаху то се више множаше и напредоваше, да се грожаху од синова Израиљевих.
13 And the Egyptians rigorously made the sons of Israel serve;
И жестоко нагоњаху Мисирци синове Израиљеве на послове,
14 and embittered their lives with harsh service, in clay and in bricks, and in all manner of service in the field, —all their service, wherein they rigorously made them serve.
И загорчаваху им живот тешким пословима, блатом и опекама и сваким радом у пољу, и сваким другим послом, на који их жестоко нагоњаху.
15 Then said the king of Egypt to the Hebrew midwives, —of whom, the name of the one was, Shiphrah, and, the name of the other Puah; —
И још заповеди цар мисирски бабицама јеврејским, од којих једној беше име Сефора, а другој Фува,
16 then he said—When ye act as midwives unto the Hebrew women, then shall ye look out for the sex, —If it is, a son, then shall ye kill it, But, if it is, a daughter, then shall it live.
И рече: Кад бабичите Јеврејке, и у порођају видите да је мушко, убијте га, а кад буде женско, нек остане живо.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt spake unto them, —but suffered the male children to live.
Али се бабице бојаху Бога, и не чињаху како им рече цар мисирски, него остављаху децу у животу.
18 Then called the king of Egypt for the midwives, and said to them—Wherefore have ye done this thing, that ye should let the male children live?
А цар мисирски дозва бабице, и рече им: Зашто то чините, те остављате у животу мушку децу?
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh. Because not like the Egyptian women, are the Hebrew women, for they are full of life, ere yet the midwife can come in unto them, they have given birth,
А бабице рекоше Фараону: Јеврејке нису као жене Мисирке; јаче су; док им дође бабица, оне већ роде.
20 So then God dealt well with the midwives, —and the people multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty.
И Бог учини добро бабицама; и народ се умножи и осили веома;
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made for them households.
И што се бабице бојаху Бога, начини им куће.
22 Then gave Pharaoh command to all his people saying—Every son that is born to the Hebrews, into the river, shall ye cast him; But every daughter, shall ye suffer to live.
Тада заповеди Фараон свему народу свом говорећи: Сваког сина који се роди баците у воду, а кћери све остављајте у животу.
