출애굽기 1장 [NIV]

출애굽기 1장 [ASV]

1. 1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:

   1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

2. 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;

   2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3. 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;

   3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4. 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.

   4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

5. 5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.

   5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.

6. 6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,

   6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7. 7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.

   7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

8. 8 Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt.

   8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

9. 9 "Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us.

   9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

10. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country."

    10 come, 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.

11. 11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.

    11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.

12. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites

    12 But 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.

13. 13 and worked them ruthlessly.

    13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:

14. 14 They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.

    14 and 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.

15. 15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,

    15 And 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:

16. 16 "When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live."

    16 and 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.

17. 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.

    17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.

18. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?"

    18 And 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?

19. 19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."

    19 And 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.

20. 20 So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous.

    20 And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21. 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

    21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.

22. 22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live."

    22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
