¹

These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family.

Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,

Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.

⁵

бњ же всњх# дш~ъ и^зшеDшихъ, и^зъ і^а'кова,

⁵

But Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls born of Jacob were seventy-five.

⁶

о~е, ё^мрњтъ же і^ѓ'сифъ, и^ вс^я братїа е^го, и^ ве'сь родъ ѓ'нъ”

⁶

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

⁷

Сн~ове же і^ил~евы възрасто'ша, и^ ё^мно'жишася, и^ мно'ѕи быша” И$ крњпля'хђся ѕњло ѕњло, ё^мно'жи же ся земля` эT нихъ”

⁷

And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.

⁸

Въста'в же цр~ъ и'нъ въ е^гљ=птњ, и^же не зна'ше і^ѓ^сифа”

⁸

And there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

⁹

И$ рече къ лю'демъ своиM с^е нароD сн~овъ і^ил~евыхъ. вели'ко множество ё^крњпля'ется па'че насъ”

⁹

And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is stronger than we:

¹⁰

Прїидњте ё^бо премђдримъ и^хъ, да не когда` ё^мно'жатся, и^ внегда` а^ще приключи'тся намъ бра'нь, приложа'тся и^ тїи к сђпоста'томъ нашимъ. и^ ѓ^долњ'вше наM и^зы'дђтъ, и^з# земля` нашея,

¹⁰

come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whensoever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land.

¹¹

и^ пристави настоа'теля дњ'ломъ, да ѓ^злобя'тъ я& в дњлXњ. и^ ё^ѕижда'ша грады твръ'ды, фараѓ'нђ. пи'џо, и^ раме'си, і^ ѓ'нъ, с^е еs слн~нъ граD”

¹¹

And he set over them task-masters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis.

¹²

По е^ли'кђ же и^хъ смиря'хђ, толи'ко множа'иши бывахђ, и^ ё^крњпля'хђся велми` ѕњло” И$ гнђшахђся е^гљ=птяне эT сн~овъ і^ил~евъ,

¹²

But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.

¹³

и^ наси'льствовахђ е^гљ=птяне сн~омъ і^ил~евымъ нђждею”

¹³

And the Egyptians tyrannised over the children of Israel by force.

¹⁴

И$ болњ'зненђ жи'знь творя'хђ и^мъ въ дњ'лехъ же'стокыхъ бренїемъ, и^ пли'нъџами, и^ всњми дњлы е^же в по'лехъ въ всњхъ и^хже порабоща'хђ и^хъ съ нђж'дею”

¹⁴

And they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.

¹⁵

И рече цр~ь е^гљ=петъскыи баба'мъ е^вреи'ским#, и%мя е^ді'нои сепфо'ра, и%мя второ'и фђа,

¹⁵

And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.

¹⁶

и^ гл~а и^мъ” Є$гда` ба'бите е^врња'ныня, и^ сђть къ рожDенїю, а%ще ё^бо мђж'ескыи полъ бђдетъ, ё^бїите и&, а%ще ли же'нъскїи соблюдњте

¹⁶

And he said, When ye do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.

¹⁷

и&. ё^боя'вше же ся ба'бы б~а, и^ не сътвори'ша, ја%коже повелњ и^мъ цр~ь е^гљ=петьскыи, и^ живля'хђ мђ'жескыи полъ”

¹⁷

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed them; and they saved the male children alive.

¹⁸

Призва же цр~ь е^гљ=петьскыи ба'бы, и^ рече и^мъ, чт^о ја%ко сътвори'сте вещъ сїю, и^ ѓ^живля'ете мђж'ескїи полъ”

¹⁸

And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that ye have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?

¹⁹

Реко'шаy ба'бы фараѓ'нђ, не та'ко жены` е^гљ=п#тяныня, ја%ко жены` е^врња'ныня сTђ ражда'ют# б^о прежде. е^гда же не внїити къ ни'мъ ба'бамъ” И$ ражда'хђ и^

¹⁹

And the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.

²⁰

того раd бл~готворя'ше б~ъ ба'бамъ” И$ множахђся лю'дїе и^ крњпля'хђся ѕњло, е^льма'

²⁰

And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.

²¹

же боя'хђся бабы б~а, сътвори'ша себњ хлњ'вины”

²¹

And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.

²²

Заповњда же фараѓ'нъ всњмъ лю'демъ своиM гл~я, весь мђж'ескїи полъ, и^же ся роди'тъ е^врњѓ'мъ, въвр'ъзњте и& в рњкђ, и^ весь же'ньскїи полъ снабди'те и& живо`”

²²

And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male child shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.
