Exodus 1

Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

Και ταυτα ειναι τα ονοματα των υιων Ισραηλ, των εισελθοντων εις Αιγυπτον μετα του Ιακωβ εκαστος μετα της οικογενειας αυτου εισηλθον.

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

Ρουβην, Συμεων, Λευι και Ιουδας,

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

Ισσαχαρ, Ζαβουλων και Βενιαμιν,

Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

Δαν και Νεφθαλι, Γαδ και Ασηρ.

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

Και πασαι αι ψυχαι αι εξελθουσαι εκ του μηρου του Ιακωβ ησαν ψυχαι εβδομηκοντα ο δε Ιωσηφ ητο ηδη εν Αιγυπτω.

And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

Ετελευτησε δε ο Ιωσηφ και παντες οι αδελφοι αυτου, και πασα η γενεα εκεινη.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Και ηυξηνθησαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ και επληθυνθησαν, και επολλαπλασιασθησαν, και ενεδυναμωθησαν σφοδρα, ωστε ο τοπος εγεμισεν απ αυτων.

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

Εσηκωθη δε νεος βασιλευς επι την Αιγυπτον, οστις δεν εγνωριζε τον Ιωσηφ.

And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

Και ειπε προς τον λαον αυτου, Ιδου, ο λαος των υιων Ισραηλ ειναι πολυ πληθος και ισχυροτερος ημων

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.

ελθετε, ας σοφισθωμεν κατ αυτων, δια να μη πολλαπλασιασθωσι, και αν συμβη πολεμος ενωθωσι και ουτοι μετα των εχθρων ημων και πολεμησωσιν ημας και αναχωρησωσιν εκ του τοπου.

Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

Κατεστησαν λοιπον επ αυτους επιστατας των εργασιων, δια να καταθλιβωσιν αυτους με τα βαρη αυτων και ωκοδομησαν εις τον Φαραω πολεις αποθηκων, την Πιθωμ και την Ραμεσση.

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

Οσον ομως κατεθλιβον αυτους, τοσω μαλλον επληθυνοντο και ηυξανοντο. Και οι Αιγυπτιοι απεστρεφοντο τους υιους Ισραηλ.

And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

Και κατεδυναστευον οι Αιγυπτιοι τους υιους Ισραηλ αυστηρως

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.

και κατεπικραινον την ζωην αυτων δια της σκληρας δουλειας εις τον πηλον και εις τας πλινθους, και εις πασας τας εργασιας των πεδιαδων πασαι αι εργασιαι αυτων, με τας οποιας κατεδυναστευον αυτους, ησαν αυστηραι.

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:

Και ελαλησεν ο βασιλευς των Αιγυπτιων προς τας μαιας των Εβραιων, εκ των οποιων η μια ωνομαζετο Σεπφωρα, και η αλλη Φουα,

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.

και ειπεν, Οταν μαιευητε τας Εβραιας και ιδητε αυτας επι της γεννας, εαν μεν ηναι αρσενικον, θανατονετε αυτο εαν δε ηναι θηλυκον, τοτε ας ζηση.

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Εφοβηθησαν δε αι μαιαι τον Θεον και δεν εκαμνον ως ειπε προς αυτας ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου, αλλ αφινον ζωντα τα αρσενικα.

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?

Καλεσας δε ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου τας μαιας, ειπε προς αυτας, Δια τι εκαμετε το πραγμα τουτο, και αφινετε ζωντα τα αρσενικα;

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.

Και απεκριθησαν αι μαιαι προς τον Φαραω, Οτι αι Εβραιαι δεν ειναι ως αι γυναικες της Αιγυπτου διοτι ειναι ευρωστοι και γεννωσι πριν εισελθωσιν εις αυτας αι μαιαι.

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

Ο δε Θεος ηγαθοποιει τας μαιας και επληθυνετο ο λαος και ενεδυναμουτο σφοδρα.

And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

Και επειδη αι μαιαι εφοβουντο τον Θεον, εκαμεν εις αυτας οικους.

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.

Ο δε Φαραω προσεταξε παντα τον λαον αυτου, λεγων, Παν αρσενικον το οποιον γεννηθη, εις τον ποταμον ριπτετε αυτο παν δε θηλυκον, αφινετε να ζη.
