出埃及记 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English 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。
1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
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 。
5All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6约瑟 和他的弟兄，并那一代的人，都死了。
6Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
7以色列 人生养众多，并且繁茂，极其强盛，满了那地。
7The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8有不认识 约瑟 的新王起来，治理 埃及 ，
8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
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。
9He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
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’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”
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 。
11Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.
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 afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.
13埃及 人严严地使 以色列 人做工，
13The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,
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 they made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
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：
15The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other 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。」
16and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall 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。
17But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.
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？」
18The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing and saved the boys alive?”
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 said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
20神厚待收生婆。 以色列 人多起来，极其强盛。
20God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21收生婆因为敬畏 神， 神便叫她们成立家室。
21Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
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。」
22Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
