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: —
haec sunt nomina filiorum Israhel qui ingressi sunt Aegyptum cum Iacob singuli cum domibus suis introierunt
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Ruben Symeon Levi Iuda
3 Issachar, Zebulon, and Benjamin;
Isachar Zabulon et Beniamin
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Dan et Nepthalim Gad et Aser
5 And it came to pass that all the persons who were descended from Jacob were seventy souls, —but, Joseph, was already in Egypt.
erant igitur omnes animae eorum qui egressi sunt de femore Iacob septuaginta Ioseph autem in Aegypto erat
6 So then Joseph died and all his brethren, and all that generation.
quo mortuo et universis fratribus eius omnique cognatione illa
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.
filii Israhel creverunt et quasi germinantes multiplicati sunt ac roborati nimis impleverunt terram
8 Then arose a new king over Egypt, —who had not known Joseph.
surrexit interea rex novus super Aegyptum qui ignorabat Ioseph
9 So he said, unto his people, Lo! the people of the sons of Israel are too many and mighty for us!
et ait ad populum suum ecce populus filiorum Israhel multus et fortior nobis
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.
venite sapienter opprimamus eum ne forte multiplicetur et si ingruerit contra nos bellum addatur inimicis nostris expugnatisque nobis egrediatur e terra
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.
praeposuit itaque eis magistros operum ut adfligerent eos oneribus aedificaveruntque urbes tabernaculorum Pharaoni Phiton et Ramesses
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.
quantoque opprimebant eos tanto magis multiplicabantur et crescebant
13 And the Egyptians rigorously made the sons of Israel serve;
oderantque filios Israhel Aegyptii et adfligebant inludentes eis
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.
atque ad amaritudinem perducebant vitam eorum operibus duris luti et lateris omnique famulatu quo in terrae operibus premebantur
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; —
dixit autem rex Aegypti obsetricibus Hebraeorum quarum una vocabatur Sephra altera Phua
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.
praecipiens eis quando obsetricabitis Hebraeas et partus tempus advenerit si masculus fuerit interficite illum si femina reservate
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt spake unto them, —but suffered the male children to live.
timuerunt autem obsetrices Deum et non fecerunt iuxta praeceptum regis Aegypti sed conservabant mares
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?
quibus ad se accersitis rex ait quidnam est hoc quod facere voluistis ut pueros servaretis
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,
quae responderunt non sunt hebraeae sicut aegyptiae mulieres ipsae enim obsetricandi habent scientiam et priusquam veniamus ad eas pariunt
20 So then God dealt well with the midwives, —and the people multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty.
bene ergo fecit Deus obsetricibus et crevit populus confortatusque est nimis
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made for them households.
et quia timuerant obsetrices Deum aedificavit illis domos
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.
praecepit autem Pharao omni populo suo dicens quicquid masculini sexus natum fuerit in flumen proicite quicquid feminei reservate
