¹Toto sú mená synov Izraelových, ktorí prišli do Egypta s Jakobom. Každý prišiel so svojím domom.

¹And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt with Jacob; a man and his household have they come;

²Rúben, Simeon, Lévi a Júda,

²Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

³Izachár, Zabulon a Benjamin,

³Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

⁴Dán, Naftali, Gád a Aser.

⁴Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

⁵A bolo všetkých duší, ktoré pošly z bedra Jakobovho, sedemdesiat duší. A Jozef bol v Egypte.

⁵And all the persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt.

⁶A Jozef zomrel i všetci jeho bratia i celé to pokolenie.

⁶And Joseph dieth, and all his brethren, and all that generation;

⁷A synovia Izraelovi sa plodili a hemžili a množili sa a mocneli prenáramne a naplnená bola nimi zem.

⁷and the sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem, and multiply, and are very very mighty, and the land is filled with them.

⁸Potom povstal nový kráľ nad Egyptom, ktorý neznal Jozefa.

⁸And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known Joseph,

⁹A povedal svojmu ľudu: Hľa, ľudu synov Izraelových je viac ako nás a je to mocnejší ľud ako my.

⁹and he saith unto his people, `Lo, the people of the sons of Israel [is] more numerous and mighty than we;

¹⁰Nože buďme opatrní voči nemu, aby sa príliš nerozmnožil, a stalo by sa, keby povstala vojna proti nám, že by sa aj on pridal k tým, ktorí nás nenávidia, a bojoval by proti nám a vyšiel by hore zo zeme.

¹⁰give help! let us act wisely concerning it, lest it multiply, and it hath come to pass, when war happeneth, that it hath been joined, even it, unto those hating us, and hath fought against us, and hath gone out up of the land.`

¹¹Preto postavili nad ním úradníkov, ktorí vyberali dane, aby ho trápili svojimi bremenami. A ľud vystavil faraonovi mestá skladíšť, mesto Pitom a Ramses.

¹¹And they set over it princes of tribute, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it buildeth store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses;

¹²Ale čím viacej ho trápili, tým viacej sa množil a tým viacej sa rozširoval. A hrozili sa synov Izraelových.

¹²and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;

¹³A Egypťania podrobovali synov Izraelových v službu ukrutne ich utláčajúc.

¹³and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigour,

¹⁴A strpčovali ich život tvrdou prácou, blatom a tehlami, a všelijakou prácou na poli, a k tomu každou inou svojou prácou, ktorú konali nimi, ukrutne ich utláčajúc.

¹⁴and make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all their service in which they have served [is] with rigour.

¹⁵A egyptský kráľ rozkázal porodným babám hebrejským, z ktorých jednej bolo meno Šifra, a druhej Pua,

¹⁵And the king of Egypt speaketh to the midwives, the Hebrewesses, (of whom the name of the one [is] Shiphrah, and the name of the second Puah),

¹⁶a povedal: Keď budete pomáhať hebrejským ženám pri pôrode a budete hľadieť na rodenie, vtedy, ak bude syn, zabijete ho, a keď dcéra, bude žiť.

¹⁶and saith, `When ye cause the Hebrew women to bear, and have looked on the children; if it [is] a son — then ye have put him to death; and if it [is] a daughter — then she hath lived.`

¹⁷Ale baby sa bály Boha, a neurobily tak, ako im hovoril egyptský kráľ, lež nechaly chlapcov žiť.

¹⁷And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads alive;

¹⁸A egyptský kráľ povolal baby a povedal im: Prečo ste to urobily, že ste nechaly chlapcov žiť?

¹⁸and the king of Egypt calleth for the midwives, and saith to them, `Wherefore have ye done this thing, and keep the lads alive?`

¹⁹A baby riekly faraonovi: Hebrejky nie sú jako egyptské ženy, lebo tie sú zdravé a silné; prv ako k nim prijde baba, porodia.

¹⁹And the midwives say unto Pharaoh, `Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; before the midwife cometh in unto them — they have borne!`

²⁰A Bôh učinil dobre babám, a ľud sa množil a mocneli veľmi.

²⁰And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

²¹A stalo sa, keď sa baby bály Boha, že im učinil domy.

²¹and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;

²²A faraon rozkázal všetkému svojmu ľudu a povedal: Každého syna, ktorý sa narodí, hodíte do rieky, a každú dcéru necháte žiť.

²²and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying, `Every son who is born — into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.`
