出埃及记 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
以色列人生养众多
1 以色列的众儿子各带着家眷,和雅各一同来到埃及,他们的名字如下: 2 吕便、西缅、利未、犹大、 3 以萨迦、西布伦、便雅悯、 4 但、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设。 5 凡从雅各生的,共有七十人。那时,约瑟已经在埃及。 6 约瑟和他所有的兄弟,以及那一代的人都死了。 7 然而,以色列人生养众多,繁衍昌盛,极其强盛,遍满了那地。
以色列人受虐待
8 有一位不认识约瑟的新王兴起,统治埃及。 9 他对自己的百姓说:“看哪,以色列人的百姓比我们还多,又比我们强盛。 10 来吧,让我们机巧地待他们,恐怕他们增多起来,将来若有战争,他们就联合我们的仇敌来攻击我们,然后离开这地去了。” 11 于是埃及人派监工管辖他们,用劳役苦待他们。他们为法老建造储货城,就是比东和兰塞。 12 可是越苦待他们,他们就越发增多,更加繁衍,埃及人就因以色列人愁烦。
13 埃及人严厉地强迫以色列人做工, 14 使他们因苦工而生活痛苦;无论是和泥,是做砖,是做田间各样的工,一切的工埃及人都严厉地对待他们。
15 埃及王又对希伯来的接生婆,一个名叫施弗拉,另一个名叫普阿的说: 16 “你们为希伯来妇人接生,临盆的时候要注意[a],若是男的,就把他杀了,若是女的,就让她活。” 17 但是接生婆敬畏 神,不照埃及王的吩咐去做,却让男孩活着。 18 埃及王召了接生婆来,对她们说:“你们为什么做这事,让男孩活着呢?” 19 接生婆对法老说:“因为希伯来妇人与埃及妇人不同;希伯来妇人健壮,接生婆还没有到,她们已经生产了。” 20 神恩待接生婆;以色列人增多起来,极其强盛。 21 接生婆因为敬畏 神, 神就叫她们成立家室。 22 法老吩咐他的众百姓说:“把所生的[b]每一个男孩都丢到尼罗河里去,让所有的女孩存活。”

以色列人受欺压
1 以色列的众子带着家眷跟雅各[a]一起去了埃及,以下是他们的名字: 2 吕便、西缅、利未、犹大、 3 以萨迦、西布伦、便雅悯、 4 但、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设。 5 雅各的子孙总共有七十人。那时,约瑟已经住在埃及。 6 后来,约瑟和他的弟兄以及同辈的人都相继去世。 7 以色列人生养众多,人口大增,很快就遍布埃及,成为一个强大的民族。 8 那时,埃及有一位不认识约瑟的新王登基, 9 对他的百姓说:“你们看,以色列人比我们多,又比我们强。 10 来吧!我们要设法阻止他们人口增长,否则一遇到战争,他们便会加入我们敌人的阵营来攻打我们,然后一走了之。”
11 于是,埃及人派监工强迫以色列人服劳役,在比东和兰塞两地为法老兴建储货城。 12 以色列人越受奴役,人口增长得越快,散居的范围也越广,令埃及人感到恐惧。 13 于是,埃及人更残酷地奴役他们, 14 强迫他们和泥造砖,并做田间一切的苦工,使他们痛苦不堪。 15 埃及王又命令两个希伯来的接生婆施弗拉和普阿: 16 “你们在替希伯来妇女接生的时候,如果看到生下的是男婴,就把他杀掉;如果是女婴,就让她活下来。” 17 但这两个接生婆敬畏上帝,没有执行王的命令,而是保留了男婴的性命。 18 埃及王召见那两个接生婆,质问她们:“你们为什么这样做?为什么让男婴活着?” 19 她们回答说:“因为希伯来妇女跟埃及妇女不同。她们身体强健,我们还没有赶到,婴儿就生下来了。” 20-21 因此,以色列人口继续增加,更加繁盛。因为这两个接生婆敬畏上帝,上帝便赐福给她们,使她们生儿育女。 22 后来,法老命令全埃及的人把以色列人生的所有男婴都抛进尼罗河里,只让女婴活着。
Exodus 1
King James Version
1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
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 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
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 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 midwives come in unto them.
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
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.
