1These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
1EIA na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela, i hele aku me Iakoba i Aigupita, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele aku me ko ka hale ona.
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
2O Reubena, o Simeona, o Levi, o Iuda,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
3O Isakara, o Zebuluna, o Beniamina,
4Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
4O Dana, o Napetali, o Gada a o Asera.
5The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
5O na mea ola a pau i puka mai ai, mai loko ae o ko Iakoba puhaka, he kanahiku lakou; a ma Aigupita no o Iosepa.
6Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
6A make iho la o Iosepa, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau, a me ia hanauna a pau.
7but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
7Hanau nui iho la na mamo a Iseraela, a laha loa ae la, a kawowo loa: ua nui loa ko lakou ikaika, a ua piha hoi ka aina ia lakou.
8Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
8A ku mai la kekahi alii hou ma Aigupita, aole i ike ia Iosepa.
9“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
9I mai la ia i kona poe kanaka, Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka nui o na kanaka mamo a Iseraela, a me ko lakou ikaika i ko kakou.
10Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
10E hana maalea kakou ia lakou; o nui auanei lakou, a hiki mai ke kaua, huipu lakou me ko kakou poe enemi, a e kaua mai hoi ia kakou, a pela ia lakou e pii aku ai mai ka aina aku.
11So the Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. As a result, they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
11A hoonoho aku lakou i na luna hooluhi maluna o lakou, i mea e hookaumaha loa ai ia lakou i na haua nui. A hana iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale papaa no Parao, o Pitoma, a o Ramese.
12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
12E like me ko lakou hooluhi ana mai, pela no hoi ko lakou nei mahuahua, a me ka palahalaha ana aku. A makau loa lakou i na mamo a Iseraela.
13They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
13Hoohana iho la ko Aigupita i na mamo a Iseraela me ka hookoikoi.
14and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.
14Hooawahia iho la lakou i ko lakou nei ola ana i ka hana luhi iloko o ka palolo, a i na pohakulepo, a me na hana a pau ma ka mahinaai: a o ka hana a pau a lakou i hoohana iho ai ia lakou nei, he mea koikoi ia.
15Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
15Olelo mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki Hebera, o Sipera ka inoa o kekahi, a o Pua hoi ka inoa o kekahi;
16“When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them on the birthstools. If the child is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter, let her live.”
16I mai la, A i palekeiki olua i na wahine Hebera, a nana olua iloko o na paholoi; ina he keikikane ia, alaila e pepehi olua ia ia; aka ina he kaikamahine, e ola no ia.
17The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
17Aka, makau iho la na palekeiki i ke Akua; aole laua i hana i ka mea a ke alii o Aigupita i kauoha ai in laua; aka, hoola ae la laua i na keikikane.
18So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
18Kii mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki, i mai la ia laua, No ke aha la olua i hana'i i keia mea, a hoola i na keikikane?
19The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
19I aku la na palekeiki ia Parao, No ka mea, aole i like na wahine Hebera me ko Aigupita poe wahine, he hiki wawe ko lakou, aole e hiki aku na palekeiki, a hanau e no lakou.
20So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
20A hoomaikai mai la ke Akua i na palekeiki: a mahuahua aku la na kanaka, a ua nui loa no hoi ko lakou ikaika.
21And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
21A no ka makau ana o na palekeiki i ke Akua, a no kona hoomahuahua ana i ko lakou mau ohana,
22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people: “Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live.”
22Kauoha ae la o Parao i kona poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, O na keikikane a pau ke hanau mai, e kiola aku ia lakou i ka muliwai, aka, o na kaikamahine a pau, ka oukou ia e hoola ai.
