出埃及記 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
以色列人受欺壓
1 以色列的眾子帶著家眷跟雅各[a]一起去了埃及,以下是他們的名字: 2 呂便、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 雅各的子孫總共有七十人。那時,約瑟已經住在埃及。 6 後來,約瑟和他的弟兄以及同輩的人都相繼去世。 7 以色列人生養眾多,人口大增,很快就遍佈埃及,成為一個強大的民族。 8 那時,埃及有一位不認識約瑟的新王登基, 9 對他的百姓說:「你們看,以色列人比我們多,又比我們強。 10 來吧!我們要設法阻止他們人口增長,否則一遇到戰爭,他們便會加入我們敵人的陣營來攻打我們,然後一走了之。」
11 於是,埃及人派監工強迫以色列人服勞役,在比東和蘭塞兩地為法老興建儲貨城。 12 以色列人越受奴役,人口增長得越快,散居的範圍也越廣,令埃及人感到恐懼。 13 於是,埃及人更殘酷地奴役他們, 14 強迫他們和泥造磚,並做田間一切的苦工,使他們痛苦不堪。 15 埃及王又命令兩個希伯來的接生婆施弗拉和普阿: 16 「你們在替希伯來婦女接生的時候,如果看到生下的是男嬰,就把他殺掉;如果是女嬰,就讓她活下來。」 17 但這兩個接生婆敬畏上帝,沒有執行王的命令,而是保留了男嬰的性命。 18 埃及王召見那兩個接生婆,質問她們:「你們為什麼這樣做?為什麼讓男嬰活著?」 19 她們回答說:「因為希伯來婦女跟埃及婦女不同。她們身體強健,我們還沒有趕到,嬰兒就生下來了。」 20-21 因此,以色列人口繼續增加,更加繁盛。因為這兩個接生婆敬畏上帝,上帝便賜福給她們,使她們生兒育女。 22 後來,法老命令全埃及的人把以色列人生的所有男嬰都拋進尼羅河裡,只讓女嬰活著。
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)

I. LA LIBERAZIONE DALL'EGITTO
1. ISRAELE IN EGITTO
Prosperità degli Ebrei in Egitto
1 Questi sono i nomi dei figli d'Israele entrati in Egitto con Giacobbe e arrivati ognuno con la sua famiglia: 2 Ruben, Simeone, Levi e Giuda, 3 Issacar, Zàbulon e Beniamino, 4 Dan e Nèftali, Gad e Aser. 5 Tutte le persone nate da Giacobbe erano settanta, Giuseppe si trovava gia in Egitto.
6 Giuseppe poi morì e così tutti i suoi fratelli e tutta quella generazione. 7 I figli d'Israele prolificarono e crebbero, divennero numerosi e molto potenti e il paese ne fu ripieno.
Oppressione degli Ebrei
8 Allora sorse sull'Egitto un nuovo re, che non aveva conosciuto Giuseppe. 9 E disse al suo popolo: «Ecco che il popolo dei figli d'Israele è più numeroso e più forte di noi. 10 Prendiamo provvedimenti nei suoi riguardi per impedire che aumenti, altrimenti, in caso di guerra, si unirà ai nostri avversari, combatterà contro di noi e poi partirà dal paese». 11 Allora vennero imposti loro dei sovrintendenti ai lavori forzati per opprimerli con i loro gravami, e così costruirono per il faraone le città-deposito, cioè Pitom e Ramses. 12 Ma quanto più opprimevano il popolo, tanto più si moltiplicava e cresceva oltre misura; si cominciò a sentire come un incubo la presenza dei figli d'Israele. 13 Per questo gli Egiziani fecero lavorare i figli d'Israele trattandoli duramente. 14 Resero loro amara la vita costringendoli a fabbricare mattoni di argilla e con ogni sorta di lavoro nei campi: e a tutti questi lavori li obbligarono con durezza.
15 Poi il re d'Egitto disse alle levatrici degli Ebrei, delle quali una si chiamava Sifra e l'altra Pua: 16 «Quando assistete al parto delle donne ebree, osservate quando il neonato è ancora tra le due sponde del sedile per il parto: se è un maschio, lo farete morire; se è una femmina, potrà vivere». 17 Ma le levatrici temettero Dio: non fecero come aveva loro ordinato il re d'Egitto e lasciarono vivere i bambini. 18 Il re d'Egitto chiamò le levatrici e disse loro: «Perché avete fatto questo e avete lasciato vivere i bambini?». 19 Le levatrici risposero al faraone: «Le donne ebree non sono come le egiziane: sono piene di vitalità: prima che arrivi presso di loro la levatrice, hanno gia partorito!». 20 Dio beneficò le levatrici. Il popolo aumentò e divenne molto forte. 21 E poiché le levatrici avevano temuto Dio, egli diede loro una numerosa famiglia. 22 Allora il faraone diede quest'ordine a tutto il suo popolo: «Ogni figlio maschio che nascerà agli Ebrei, lo getterete nel Nilo, ma lascerete vivere ogni figlia».
Éxodo 1
Nueva Versión Internacional
Los egipcios oprimen a los israelitas
1 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel que, acompañados de sus familias, llegaron con Jacob a Egipto:
2 Rubén, Simeón, Leví, Judá,
3 Isacar, Zabulón, Benjamín,
4 Dan, Neftalí,
Gad y Aser.
5 En total, los descendientes de Jacob eran setenta. José ya estaba en Egipto.
6 Murieron José y sus hermanos y toda aquella generación. 7 Sin embargo, los israelitas tuvieron muchos hijos y a tal grado se multiplicaron que fueron haciéndose más y más poderosos. El país se fue llenando de ellos.
8 Pero llegó al poder en Egipto un nuevo rey que no había conocido a José 9 y dijo a su pueblo: «¡Cuidado con los israelitas, que ya son más fuertes y numerosos que nosotros! 10 Vamos a tener que manejarlos con mucha astucia; de lo contrario, seguirán aumentando y, si estalla una guerra, se unirán a nuestros enemigos, nos combatirán y se irán del país».
11 Fue así como los egipcios pusieron capataces para que oprimieran a los israelitas. Les impusieron trabajos forzados, tales como los de edificar para el faraón las ciudades de almacenaje Pitón y Ramsés. 12 Pero cuanto más los oprimían, más se multiplicaban y se extendían, de modo que los egipcios llegaron a tenerles miedo; 13 por eso les imponían trabajos pesados y los trataban con crueldad. 14 Les amargaban la vida obligándolos a hacer mezcla, ladrillos y todas las labores del campo. En todos los trabajos de esclavos que los israelitas realizaban, los egipcios los trataban con crueldad.
15 Había dos parteras de las hebreas, llamadas Sifrá y Fuvá, a las que el rey de Egipto ordenó:
16 —Cuando ayuden a las hebreas en sus partos, fíjense en el sexo:[a] si es niño, mátenlo; pero si es niña, déjenla con vida.
17 Sin embargo, las parteras temían a Dios, así que no siguieron las órdenes del rey de Egipto, sino que dejaron con vida a los varones. 18 Entonces el rey de Egipto mandó llamar a las parteras y les preguntó:
—¿Por qué han hecho esto? ¿Por qué han dejado con vida a los varones?
19 Las parteras respondieron:
—Resulta que las hebreas no son como las egipcias, sino que están llenas de vida y dan a luz antes de que lleguemos.
20 De este modo los israelitas se hicieron más numerosos y más fuertes. Además, Dios trató muy bien a las parteras 21 y, por haberse mostrado temerosas de Dios, les concedió tener muchos hijos. 22 El faraón, por su parte, dio esta orden a todo su pueblo:
—¡Tiren al río a todos los niños hebreos que nazcan! A las niñas, déjenlas con vida.

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.
