出埃及记 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 的众子，各带家眷，和 雅各 一同来到 埃及 。他们的名字记在下面。
1These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
2有 吕便 、 西缅 、 利未 、 犹大 、
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3以萨迦 、 西布伦 、 便雅悯 、
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4但 、 拿弗他利 、 迦得 、 亚设 。
4Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5凡从 雅各 而生的，共有七十人。 约瑟 已经在 埃及 。
5The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
6约瑟 和他的弟兄，并那一代的人，都死了。
6Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7以色列 人生养众多，并且繁茂，极其强盛，满了那地。
7but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8有不认识 约瑟 的新王起来，治理 埃及 ，
8Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
9对他的百姓说：「看哪，这 以色列 民比我们还多，又比我们强盛。
9“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
10来吧，我们不如用巧计待他们，恐怕他们多起来，日后若遇什么争战的事，就连合我们的仇敌攻击我们，离开这地去了。」
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.”
11于是 埃及 人派督工的辖制他们，加重担苦害他们。他们为法老建造两座积货城，就是 比东 和 兰塞 。
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.
12只是越发苦害他们，他们越发多起来，越发蔓延； 埃及 人就因 以色列 人愁烦。
12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites.
13埃及 人严严地使 以色列 人做工，
13They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
14使他们因做苦工觉得命苦；无论是和泥，是做砖，是做田间各样的工，在一切的工上都严严地待他们。
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.
15有 希伯来 的两个收生婆，一名 施弗拉 ，一名 普阿 ； 埃及 王对她们说：
15Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16「你们为 希伯来 妇人收生，看她们临盆的时候，若是男孩，就把他杀了；若是女孩，就留她存活。」
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.”
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。
17The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
18埃及 王召了收生婆来，说：「你们为什么做这事，存留男孩的性命呢？」
18So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19收生婆对法老说：「因为 希伯来 妇人与 埃及 妇人不同； 希伯来 妇人本是健壮的，收生婆还没有到，她们已经生产了。」
19The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife arrives.”
20神厚待收生婆。 以色列 人多起来，极其强盛。
20So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became even more numerous.
21收生婆因为敬畏 神， 神便叫她们成立家室。
21And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families of their own.
22法老吩咐他的众民说：「 以色列 人所生的男孩，你们都要丢在河里；一切的女孩，你们要存留她的性命。」
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.”
