Xuất Hành 1
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Gia đình Gia-cốp gia tăng
1 Khi đi xuống Ai-cập, Gia-cốp mang theo các con trai, và mỗi người con mang theo gia đình mình. Sau đây là tên các con trai của Ít-ra-en: 2 Ru-bên, Xi-mê-ôn, Lê-vi, Giu-đa, 3 Y-xa-ca, Sa-bu-lôn, Bên-gia-min, 4 Đan, Nép-ta-li, Gát, và A-se. 5 Tất cả con cháu Gia-cốp tổng cộng là 70 người. Giô-xép, con Gia-cốp đã cư ngụ tại Ai-cập.
6 Ít lâu sau, Giô-xép và các anh em qua đời cùng với những người đương thời. 7 Nhưng dân Ít-ra-en có đông con nên dân số gia tăng rất nhanh. Họ trở nên rất hùng mạnh. Người Ít-ra-en lan tràn khắp xứ Ai-cập.
Dân Ít-ra-en gặp khó khăn
8 Rồi một vua mới lên cai trị nước Ai-cập. Vua nầy không quen biết Giô-xép. 9 Vua bảo dân chúng, “Xem nầy! Dân Ít-ra-en đã trở nên quá đông và quá hùng mạnh, chúng ta không kham nổi! 10 Nếu chúng ta không làm gì cả thì họ sẽ còn gia tăng hơn nữa. Nay mai nếu xảy ra chiến tranh, họ rất có thể nhập với quân thù đánh chúng ta rồi trốn ra khỏi nước!”
11 Nên người Ai-cập gây khổ nhọc cho dân Ít-ra-en. Họ đặt các cai nô lệ trên người Ít-ra-en, bắt xây các thành Phi-thom và Ram-se để làm trung tâm chứa hàng cho nhà vua.
12 Nhưng người Ai-cập càng hành hạ cực nhọc bao nhiêu, dân Ít-ra-en càng sinh sản thêm bấy nhiêu, lan tràn khắp nơi. Nên người Ai-cập đâm ra sợ hãi người Ít-ra-en 13 và càng hành hạ họ thêm.
14 Họ gây khổ nhọc cho người Ít-ra-en. Họ bắt người Ít-ra-en trộn vữa để đúc gạch, cùng làm những việc đồng áng. Người Ai-cập không nương tay chút nào trong việc hành hạ người Ít-ra-en.
Các bà đỡ vâng lời Thượng Đế
15 Hai bà đỡ [a] người Do-thái [b], tên Síp-ra và Phu-a, giúp đỡ đẻ cho phụ nữ Ít-ra-en. Vua Ai-cập dặn các bà ấy như sau, 16 “Khi các chị đi đỡ đẻ cho phụ nữ Do-thái thì hãy lưu ý. Nếu là con gái thì để cho sống, còn nếu con trai thì giết đi!”
17 Nhưng các bà đỡ kính sợ Thượng Đế nên không vâng lệnh vua. Họ để cho các bé trai sống hết.
18 Vua Ai-cập liền gọi các bà đỡ lại hỏi, “Tại sao các chị làm vậy? Tại sao các chị để cho các bé trai sống?”
19 Các bà đỡ thưa, “Các phụ nữ Do-thái khoẻ hơn các phụ nữ Ai-cập. Họ sinh con trước khi chúng tôi đến.” 20 Thượng Đế tỏ lòng nhân từ với các bà đỡ. Dân Do-thái tiếp tục gia tăng nên càng ngày càng hùng mạnh. 21 Vì các bà đỡ kính sợ Thượng Đế nên Ngài ban phước cho họ có gia đình.
22 Vua ra lệnh cho toàn dân, “Hễ khi nào người Do-thái sinh con trai thì ném xuống sông Nin, nhưng con gái thì để cho sống.”

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.

Izráel családja Egyiptomba költözik
1 Jákób, vagyis Izráel egész családjával Egyiptomba költözött. Fiait így hívták: Rúben, Simeon, Lévi, Júda, Issakár, Zebulon, Benjámin, Dán, Naftáli, Gád és Ásér. Mindegyiküknek már saját családja volt, és a maguk háza népével együtt mentek Egyiptomba.[a] 5 Ekkor összesen hetvenen voltak, akik Jákóbtól származtak. (Jákób egyik fia, József ekkor már évek óta Egyiptomban élt.)
6 Idővel azután meghalt József meg a testvérei is, és az az egész nemzedék. 7 Izráel leszármazottjai azonban nagyon megszaporodtak. Sok gyermekük született, és annyira megsokasodtak, hogy szinte megtelt velük az ország.
Izráel népének sorsa rosszra fordul
8 Azután új király[b] került Egyiptom trónjára, aki már nem ismerte Józsefet. 9 Így szólt az embereihez: „Nézzétek, Izráel népe túlságosan megszaporodott! Már többen vannak, és erősebbek nálunk. 10 Bánjunk hát okosan velük, nehogy tovább sokasodjanak! Előfordulhat, hogy háború tör ki, s akkor átállhatnak az ellenséghez, és megszöknek az országból.”
11 Ezért felügyelőket küldtek, hogy nehéz kényszermunkára szorítsák az izráelieket, akiknek raktárvárosokat kellett építeniük a fáraó számára: Pitómot és Ramszeszt.
12 Ám minél jobban sanyargatták őket, annál inkább sokasodtak és terjeszkedtek. Emiatt az egyiptomiak egyre jobban féltek tőlük, és gyűlölték őket. 13 Ezért kegyetlenül dolgoztatták az izráelieket: 14 vályogtéglát kellett készíteniük, mindenféle mezei munkát és sokféle nehéz szolgálatot követeltek tőlük. Mindezzel nagyon megkeserítették az életüket.
A bábák szembeszegülnek a király parancsával
15 Egyiptom királya ezután hívatta azokat a bábaasszonyokat, Sifrát és Púát, akik a héber[c] asszonyoknak segítettek a szülésnél. Megparancsolta nekik: 16 „Amikor héber asszonyok szülésénél bábáskodtok, figyeljétek meg, hogy fiú, vagy leány születik-e! Ha fiú, öljétek meg, ha leány, hagyjátok életben!”
17 A bábák azonban tisztelték és félték Istent, és a király parancsa ellenére sem ölték meg az újszülött fiúgyermekeket, hanem világra segítették őket is.
18 A király ekkor hívatta a bábákat, és kérdőre vonta őket: „Miért tettétek ezt? Miért hagytátok életben a fiúkat?”
19 A bábák így feleltek a királynak: „A héber asszonyok nem olyanok, mint az egyiptomiak. Annyira életerősek, hogy mielőtt a bába megérkezik hozzájuk, már meg is szülnek.” 20-21 Mivel a bábák félték Istent, ő jól bánt velük: gyarapította a családjukat. Isten tovább szaporította Izráel népét is, amely egyre erősebb lett.
22 Akkor a fáraó egész népének megparancsolta: „Minden újszülött héber fiút dobjatok a Nílusba! Ha pedig leányuk születik, azt hagyjátok életben!”

Exodus 1
New International Version
The Israelites Oppressed
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel(A) who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.(B) 5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy[a] in all;(C) Joseph was already in Egypt.
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,(D) 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers(E) and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.(F) 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous(G) for us.(H) 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly(I) 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.”(J)
11 So they put slave masters(K) over them to oppress them with forced labor,(L) and they built Pithom and Rameses(M) as store cities(N) for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly.(O) 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor(P) in brick(Q) and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.(R)
15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives,(S) whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”(T) 17 The midwives, however, feared(U) God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do;(V) they let the boys live. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”(W)
20 So God was kind to the midwives(X) and the people increased and became even more numerous. 21 And because the midwives feared(Y) God, he gave them families(Z) of their own.
22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile,(AA) but let every girl live.”(AB)
