出埃及 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
出埃及记 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以色列在埃及興盛
1 以色列的眾子，各人帶著家眷和雅各一同來到埃及。他們的名字是： 2 流本、西緬、利未、猶大、 3 以薩迦、西布倫、便雅憫、 4 但、拿弗他利、迦得、亞設。 5 他們全是雅各所生的，共有七十人；那時約瑟已經在埃及了。 6 後來，約瑟和他所有的兄弟，以及那一代的人都死了。 7 以色列人生養繁衍眾多，人數增加，極其強盛，遍滿了那地。
新王迫害以色列人
8 那時，有一位不認識約瑟的新王興起來，統治埃及。 9 他對自己的人民說：“看哪，以色列民比我們眾多強盛。 10 來吧，我們要用巧計對付他們，恐怕他們增多起來，一旦發生戰爭，他們就與我們的仇敵聯合，攻擊我們，並且離開這地。” 11 於是，他們指派督工管轄他們，加重他們的重擔苦害他們，他們為法老建造兩座貯貨城，就是比東和蘭塞。 12 但是，埃及人越苦害他們，他們就越發增多，越發繁衍。埃及人就懼怕以色列人。 13 於是，埃及人嚴嚴地使以色列人作苦工。 14 埃及人使他們因作苦工而覺得命苦，他們要和泥、做磚、作田間各樣的工；這一切苦工，埃及人都嚴嚴地驅使以色列人去作。
埃及王殺害希伯來男嬰
15 埃及王吩咐兩個希伯來接生婦，一個名叫施弗拉，一個名叫普阿， 16 說：“你們給希伯來婦人接生的時候，要看著她們臨盆；若是男孩，你們要殺死他；若是女孩，她就可以活著。” 17 但是，接生婦卻敬畏 神，不照著埃及王吩咐她們的去作，竟讓男孩活著。 18 於是，埃及王把接生婦叫了來，對她們說：“你們為甚麼作這事，讓男孩活著呢？” 19 接生婦回答法老：“希伯來婦人與埃及婦人不同；她們很有活力，接生婦還沒有來到，她們已經生產了。” 20 神恩待接生婦；以色列民增多起來，而且非常強盛。 21 接生婦因為敬畏 神， 神就為她們建立家室。 22 法老吩咐他的眾民說：“凡是希伯來人（《馬索拉文本》無“希伯來人”，現參照其他古抄本及古譯本補上）所生的男孩，你們都要把他投在河裡；凡是女孩，就讓她活著。”
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.
