1:5  And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt.

1:5  Erant igitur omnes animæ eorum qui egressi sunt de femore Jacob, septuaginta : Joseph autem in Ægypto erat.

1:5  And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

1:6  After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,

1:6  Quo mortuo, et universis fratribus ejus, omnique cognatione illa,

1:6  And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

1:7  The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.

1:7  filii Israël creverunt, et quasi germinantes multiplicati sunt : ac roborati nimis, impleverunt terram.

1:7  And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

1:8  In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:

1:8  Surrexit interea rex novus super Ægyptum, qui ignorabat Joseph.

1:8  Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

1:9  And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.

1:9  Et ait ad populum suum : Ecce, populus filiorum Israël multus, et fortior nobis est.

1:9  And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

1:10  Come let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land.

1:10  Venite, sapienter opprimamus eum, ne forte multiplicetur : et si ingruerit contra nos bellum, addatur inimicis nostris, expugnatisque nobis egrediatur de terra.

1:10  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.

1:11  Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens: and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom, and Ramesses.

1:11  Præposuit itaque eis magistros operum, ut affligerent eos oneribus : ædificaveruntque urbes tabernaculorum Pharaoni, Phithom et Ramesses.

1:11  Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

1:12  But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied and increased.

1:12  Quantoque opprimebant eos, tanto magis multiplicabantur, et crescebant :

1:12  But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

1:13  And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them:

1:13  oderantque filios Israël Ægyptii, et affligebant illudentes eis,

1:13  And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

1:14  And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth.

1:14  atque ad amaritudinem perducebant vitam eorum operibus duris luti et lateris, omnique famulatu, quo in terræ operibus premebantur.

1:14  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.

1:15  And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,

1:15  Dixit autem rex Ægypti obstetricibus Hebræorum, quarum una vocabatur Sephora, altera Phua,

1:15  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:

1:16  Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive.

1:16  præcipiens eis : Quando obstetricabitis Hebræas, et partus tempus advenerit : si masculus fuerit, interficite eum : si femina, reservate.

1:16  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.

1:17  But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children.

1:17  Timuerunt autem obstetrices Deum, et non fecerunt juxta præceptum regis Ægypti, sed conservabant mares.

1:17  But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

1:18  And the king called for them and said: What is it that you meant to do, that you would save the men children?

1:18  Quibus ad se accersitis, rex ait : Quidnam est hoc quod facere voluistis, ut pueros servaretis ?

1:18  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?

1:19  They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skilful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them.

1:19  Quæ responderunt : Non sunt Hebreæ sicut ægyptiæ mulieres : ipsæ enim obstetricandi habent scientiam, et priusquam veniamus ad eas, pariunt.

1:19  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.

1:20  Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.

1:20  Bene ergo fecit Deus obstetricibus : et crevit populus, confortatusque est nimis.

1:20  Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

1:21  And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.

1:21  Et quia timuerunt obstetrices Deum, ædificavit eis domos.

1:21  And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

1:22  Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.

1:22  Præcepit ergo Pharao omni populo suo, dicens : Quidquid masculini sexus natum fuerit, in flumen projicite : quidquid feminini, reservate.

1:22  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.
