Exodus

Chapter 1

1 Now these428 are the names8034 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which came935 into Egypt;4714 every man376 and his household1004 came935 with854 Jacob.3290

2 Reuben,7205 Simeon,8095 Levi,3878 and Judah,3063

3 Issachar,3485 Zebulun,2074 and Benjamin,1144

4 Dan,1835 and Naphtali,5321 Gad,1410 and Asher.836

5 And all3605 the souls5315 that came out3318 of the loins3409 of Jacob3290 were1961 seventy7657 souls:5315 for Joseph3130 was1961 in Egypt4714 already.

6 And Joseph3130 died,4191 and all3605 his brethren,251 and all3605 that1931 generation.1755

7 And the children1121 of Israel3478 were fruitful,6509 and increased abundantly,8317 and multiplied,7235 and waxed exceeding mighty;6105 3966 3966 and the land776 was filled4390 with854 them.

8 Now there arose up6965 a new2319 king4428 over5921 Egypt,4714 which834 knew3045 not3808 853 Joseph.3130

9 And he said559 unto413 his people,5971 Behold,2009 the people5971 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are more7227 and mightier6099 than4480 we:

10 Come3051 on, let us deal wisely2449 with them; lest6435 they multiply,7235 and it come to pass,1961 that, when3588 there falleth out7122 any war,4421 they1931 join3254 also1571 unto5921 our enemies,8130 and fight3898 against us, and so get them up5927 out of4480 the land.776

11 Therefore they did set7760 over5921 them taskmasters8269 4522 to4616 afflict6031 them with their burdens.5450 And they built1129 for Pharaoh6547 treasure4543 cities,5892 853 Pithom6619 and Rameses.7486

12 But the more834 they afflicted6031 them, the more3651 they multiplied7235 and grew.3651 6555 And they were grieved6973 because4480 6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

13 And the Egyptians4714 made853 the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 with rigor: 6531

14 And they made853 their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all manner3605 of service5656 in the field:7704 853 all3605 their service,5656 wherein834 they made them serve,5647 was with rigor.6531

15 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 spoke559 to the Hebrew5680 midwives,3205 of which834 the name8034 of the one259 was Shiphrah,8236 and the name8034 of the other8145 Puah: 6326

16 And he said,559 When ye do the office of a midwife3205 to853 the Hebrew women,5680 and see7200 them upon5921 the stools;70 if518 it1931 be a son,1121 then ye shall kill4191 him: but if518 it1931 be a daughter,1323 then she shall live.2425

17 But the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 and did6213 not3808 as834 the king4428 of Egypt4714 commanded1696 413 them, but saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive.

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called for7121 the midwives,3205 and said559 unto them, Why4069 have ye done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive?

19 And the midwives3205 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 Because3588 the Hebrew women5680 are not3808 as the Egyptian4713 women;802 for3588 they2007 are lively,2422 and are delivered3205 ere2962 the midwives3205 come in935 unto413 them.

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very mighty.6105 3966

21 And it came to pass,1961 because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

22 And Pharaoh6547 charged6680 all3605 his people,5971 saying,559 Every3605 son1121 that is born3209 ye shall cast7993 into the river,2975 and every3605 daughter1323 ye shall save alive.2421

出埃及記

第1章

1 以色列的眾子,各帶家眷,和雅各一同來到埃及。他們的名字記在下面。

2 有呂便、西緬、利未、猶大、

3 以薩迦、西布倫、便雅憫、

4 但、拿弗他利、迦得、亞設。

5 凡從雅各而生的,共有七十人。約瑟已經在埃及。

6 約瑟和他的弟兄,並那一代的人,都死了。

7 以色列人生養,加增[increased]眾多,並且繁茂,極其強盛,滿了那地。

8 有不認識約瑟的新王起來,治理埃及,

9 對他的百姓說:「看哪,這以色列民比我們還多,又比我們強盛。

10 來吧,我們不如用巧計待他們,恐怕他們多起來,日後若出了[falleth out]甚麼爭戰的事,就連合我們的仇敵攻擊我們,然後[and so]離開這地去了。」

11 於是埃及人派督工的轄制他們,加重擔苦害他們。他們為法老建造兩座積蓄財寶的城[treasure cities],就是比東和蘭塞。

12 只是越發苦害他們,他們越發多起來,越發興旺[grew]。埃及人就因以色列人愁煩。

13 埃及人嚴嚴的使以色列人作工,

14 埃及人[they]使他們為苦工所束[with hard bondage]覺得命苦,無論是和泥,是作磚,是作田間各樣的工;在一切的工上都嚴嚴的待他們。

15 有希伯來的兩個收生婆,一名施弗拉,一名普阿;埃及王對她們說:

16 「你們為希伯來婦人收生,看她們臨盆的時候,若是男孩,就把他殺了;若是女孩,就留她存活。」

17 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 埃及王召了收生婆來,說:「你們為甚麼作了[done]這事,存留男孩的性命呢?」

19 收生婆對法老說:「因為希伯來婦人與埃及婦人不同;希伯來婦人本是活潑的[lively],收生婆還沒有到,她們已經分娩[delivered]了。」

20 故此[Therefore],神厚待收生婆;以色列人多起來,極其強盛。

21 收生婆因為敬畏神,[he]便叫她們成立家室。

22 法老曉諭[charged]他的眾民說:「以色列人所生的男孩,你們都要丟在河裏;一切的女孩,你們要存留她的性命。」

13 And the Egyptians4714 made853 the children1121 of Israel3478 to serve5647 with rigor: 6531

13 埃及人嚴嚴的使以色列人作工,

14 And they made853 their lives2416 bitter4843 with hard7186 bondage,5656 in mortar,2563 and in brick,3843 and in all manner3605 of service5656 in the field:7704 853 all3605 their service,5656 wherein834 they made them serve,5647 was with rigor.6531

14 埃及人[they]使他們為苦工所束[with hard bondage]覺得命苦,無論是和泥,是作磚,是作田間各樣的工;在一切的工上都嚴嚴的待他們。

15 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 spoke559 to the Hebrew5680 midwives,3205 of which834 the name8034 of the one259 was Shiphrah,8236 and the name8034 of the other8145 Puah: 6326

15 有希伯來的兩個收生婆,一名施弗拉,一名普阿;埃及王對她們說:

18 And the king4428 of Egypt4714 called for7121 the midwives,3205 and said559 unto them, Why4069 have ye done6213 this2088 thing,1697 and have saved2421 853 the men children3206 alive?

18 埃及王召了收生婆來,說:「你們為甚麼作了[done]這事,存留男孩的性命呢?」

19 收生婆對法老說:「因為希伯來婦人與埃及婦人不同;希伯來婦人本是活潑的[lively],收生婆還沒有到,她們已經分娩[delivered]了。」

20 Therefore God430 dealt well3190 with the midwives:3205 and the people5971 multiplied,7235 and waxed very mighty.6105 3966

20 故此[Therefore],神厚待收生婆;以色列人多起來,極其強盛。

21 And it came to pass,1961 because3588 the midwives3205 feared3372 853 God,430 that he made6213 them houses.1004

21 收生婆因為敬畏神,[he]便叫她們成立家室。

22 And Pharaoh6547 charged6680 all3605 his people,5971 saying,559 Every3605 son1121 that is born3209 ye shall cast7993 into the river,2975 and every3605 daughter1323 ye shall save alive.2421

22 法老曉諭[charged]他的眾民說:「以色列人所生的男孩,你們都要丟在河裏;一切的女孩,你們要存留她的性命。」
