1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
1¶ Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Iharaira i haere ki Ihipa; i haere tahi mai ratou me Hakopa, me te whare o tenei, o tenei.
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
2Ko Reupena, ko Himiona, ko Riwai, ko Hura,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
3Ko Ihakara, ko Hepurona, ko Pineamine,
4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
4Ko Rana, ko Napatari, ko Kara, ko Ahera.
5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.
5Na, ko nga wairua katoa i puta mai i te hope o Hakopa, e whitu tekau wairua: i Ihipa hoki a Hohepa.
6And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
6Na kua mate a Hohepa, me ona tuakana katoa, me tera whakapaparanga katoa.
7And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
7A ka tupu nga tama a Iharaira, ka tini haere, ka hira rawa, ka kaha noa atu; a kapi ana te whenua i a ratou.
8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
8¶ Na kua puta he kingi hou mo Ihipa, kihai i mohio ki a Hohepa.
9And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
9A ka ki ia ki tona iwi, Nana, hira ake, kaha ake i a tatou te iwi o nga tama a Iharaira.
10come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.
10Tena, kia ata ngarahu tatou ki a ratou; kei tini haere, a tenei ake, ki te ara he pakanga, na, ka uru hoki ratou ki o tatou hoariri, ka whawhai ki a tatou, a ka maunu atu i te whenua.
11Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
11Na ka whakaritea he rangatira akiaki mo ratou, hei whakawhui mo ratou ki a ratou kawenga. A hanga ana e ratou nga pa takotoranga taonga mo Parao, a Pitoma, a Raamahehe.
12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
12Engari whakawhiu noa ratou i a ratou, e hua tonu mai ana, e tupu ana. A pawera ana ratou i nga tama a Iharaira.
13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
13A nanakia noa iho te whakamahinga a nga Ihipiana i nga tama a Iharaira:
14and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.
14A meatia ana e ratou kia kawa ake ratou ki te ora, i te nui o te mahi, i te paru pokepoke, i te pereki, i nga mahi katoa o te mara, a ratou mahi katoa, i whakawhiua ai ratou ki te mahi.
15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
15¶ Na ka mea te kingi o Ihipa ki nga wahine whakawhanau i nga wahine a nga Hiperu; ko te ingoa o tetahi ko hipera, ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Pua:
16and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
16I ki ia, E whakawhanau korua i nga wahine a nga Hiperu, a ka kite i a ratou i runga i nga kumete, ki te mea he tamaiti tane, whakamatea; he kotiro ia, kia ora tena.
17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
17Otira i wehi nga kaiwhakawhanau ki te Atua, kihai hoki i mea i ta te kingi o Ihipa i mea ai ki a raua, a whakaorangia ana e raua nga tamariki tane.
18And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?
18Na ka karangatia nga kaiwhakawhanau e te kingi o Ihipa, a ka mea ki a raua, Na te aha tenei mahi a korua, i whakaora ai korua i nga tamariki tane?
19And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.
19A ka mea nga kaiwhakawhanau ki a Parao, No te mea ra, ehara nga wahine a nga Hiperu i te pena me nga wahine a nga Ihipiana; e maia ana hoki ratou, kahore ano kia tae atu te kaiwhakawhanau ki a ratou kua whanau.
20And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
20Na ka atawhai te Atua ki nga kaiwhakawhanau; a ka nui haere te iwi, a kaha rawa ana.
21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.
21A, no te mea i wehi nga kaiwhakawhanau ki te Atua, ka hanga e ia he whare mo raua.
22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
22Na ka ako a Parao ki tona iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko nga tamariki tane katoa e whanau mai, maka atu e koutou ki te awa, ko nga kotiro katoa ia, me whakaora.
