Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
1Wen natul Jacob su welul som nu Egypt, wi sou lalos pa:
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
3Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
4Dan, Naphtali, Gad, ac Asher.
5The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
5Pisen mwet inge nukewa su ma in fwil natul Jacob na suwohs, oasr ke mwet itngoul. Joseph, sie sin wen natul Jacob, el oasr tari in acn Egypt.
6Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
6Ke pulan pacl sac, Joseph ac mwet lel ac mwet in fwil sac nufon misa,
7but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
7tusruktu, fahko lun mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui oru elos oaclik acn nukewa in Egypt.
8Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
8Na oasr tokosra sasu se mutawauk in leumi acn Egypt, su tia etal Joseph.
9“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
9El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Mwet Israel inge arulana puseni ac kui. Nga luman sensen elos ac ku liki kut.
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.”
10Fin oasr mweun elos ac mau kupasryang nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr ac lain kut, ac elos ac ku in kaingla liki mutunfacl sesr. Kut enenu in akngusrikya suk sie inkanek in taranulos in tia puseni.”
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.
11Ouinge mwet Egypt sang kutu mwet kol lalos sifacna in akupayela orekma lalos. Mwet Israel inge pa musaela siti Pithom ac Rameses — siti lulap inge kalkalyak tuh in acn in karingin mongo ac kufwa nukewa nu sin tokosra.
12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
12Tusruktu finne yokelik mwe keok ma mwet Egypt sang aktoasrye mwet Israel kac, a pisen mwet Israel puseni liki meet ac osralik fin acn uh. Mwet Egypt mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Israel,
13They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
13oru elos aktoasryela orekma lalos.
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.
14Elos akorekmayalos in orek brick mwe musa, oayapa kain in orekma nukewa inima uh, ac oru arulana upa nu selos.
15Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
15Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
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.”
16El fahk nu seltal, “Ke komtal ac akisusye mutan Hebrew uh, fin ac tulik mukul se, na unilya; fin ac tulik mutan se, lela elan moul.”
17The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
17Tusruktu mutan akisus inge eltal etu in sangeng sin God, oru eltal tia aksol tokosra, a eltal fuhlela tulik mukul uh in moul.
18So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
18Ouinge tokosra el sapla nu sin mutan akisus ah, ac siyuk seltal, “Efu komtal ku oru ange? Efu komtal ku fuhlela tulik mukul uh moul?”
19The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
19Eltal topuk, “Mutan Hebrew uh tia oana mutan Egypt uh, mweyen isus uh ma fisrasr se selos, oru tulik natulos isusla meet liki na mutan akisus uh sonolos.”
20So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
20Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
21And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
21Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
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.”
22Na tokosra el sapelik nu sin mwet lal nukewa, “Tulik mukul Hebrew nukewa ma isusla, kowos sisla nu Infacl Nile, a lela tulik mutan uh in moul.”
