出埃及 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以色列在埃及兴盛
1 以色列的众子，各人带着家眷和雅各一同来到埃及。他们的名字是： 2 流本、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 他们全是雅各所生的，共有七十人；那时约瑟已经在埃及了。 6 后来，约瑟和他所有的兄弟，以及那一代的人都死了。 7 以色列人生养繁衍众多，人数增加，极其强盛，遍满了那地。
新王迫害以色列人
8 那时，有一位不认识约瑟的新王兴起来，统治埃及。 9 他对自己的人民说：“看哪，以色列民比我们众多强盛。 10 来吧，我们要用巧计对付他们，恐怕他们增多起来，一旦发生战争，他们就与我们的仇敌联合，攻击我们，并且离开这地。” 11 于是，他们指派督工管辖他们，加重他们的重担苦害他们，他们为法老建造两座贮货城，就是比东和兰塞。 12 但是，埃及人越苦害他们，他们就越发增多，越发繁衍。埃及人就惧怕以色列人。 13 于是，埃及人严严地使以色列人作苦工。 14 埃及人使他们因作苦工而觉得命苦，他们要和泥、做砖、作田间各样的工；这一切苦工，埃及人都严严地驱使以色列人去作。
埃及王杀害希伯来男婴
15 埃及王吩咐两个希伯来接生妇，一个名叫施弗拉，一个名叫普阿， 16 说：“你们给希伯来妇人接生的时候，要看着她们临盆；若是男孩，你们要杀死他；若是女孩，她就可以活着。” 17 但是，接生妇却敬畏 神，不照着埃及王吩咐她们的去作，竟让男孩活着。 18 于是，埃及王把接生妇叫了来，对她们说：“你们为甚么作这事，让男孩活着呢？” 19 接生妇回答法老：“希伯来妇人与埃及妇人不同；她们很有活力，接生妇还没有来到，她们已经生产了。” 20 神恩待接生妇；以色列民增多起来，而且非常强盛。 21 接生妇因为敬畏 神， 神就为她们建立家室。 22 法老吩咐他的众民说：“凡是希伯来人（《马索拉文本》无“希伯来人”，现参照其他古抄本及古译本补上）所生的男孩，你们都要把他投在河里；凡是女孩，就让她活着。”

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。

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)

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.
