Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in, every man with his household:
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。
2Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,
2有 吕便 、 西缅 、 利未 、 犹大 、
3Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
3以萨迦 、 西布伦 、 便雅悯 、
4Dan, and Nephtali, Gad and Aser.
4但 、 拿弗他利 、 迦得 、 亚设 。
5And all the souls that came out of Jacob’s thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt.
5凡从 雅各 而生的，共有七十人。 约瑟 已经在 埃及 。
6After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,
6约瑟 和他的弟兄，并那一代的人，都死了。
7The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.
7以色列 人生养众多，并且繁茂，极其强盛，满了那地。
8In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:
8有不认识 约瑟 的新王起来，治理 埃及 ，
9And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.
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。
10Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land.
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。」
11Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens, and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom and Ramesses.
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 。
12But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied, and increased:
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。
13And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them:
13埃及 人严严地使 以色列 人做工，
14And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay, and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth.
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。
15And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,
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：
16Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive.
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。」
17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children.
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。
18And the king called for them and said: What is that you meant to do, that you would save the men children?
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？」
19They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skillful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them.
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。」
20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.
20神厚待收生婆。 以色列 人多起来，极其强盛。
21And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.
21收生婆因为敬畏 神， 神便叫她们成立家室。
22Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.
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。」
