Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Вот имена сынов Израилевых, которые вошли в Египет с Иаковом [отцом их], вошли каждый со [всем] домом своим:
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
2 Рувим, Симеон, Левий и Иуда,
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Иссахар, Завулон и Вениамин,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Дан и Неффалим, Гад и Асир.
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 Всех же душ, происшедших от чресл Иакова, было семьдесят [пять], а Иосиф был уже в Египте.
5 All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 И умер Иосиф и все братья его и весь род их;
6 Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
7 а сыны Израилевы расплодились и размножились, и возросли и усилились чрезвычайно, и наполнилась ими земля та.
7 The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 И восстал в Египте новый царь, который не знал Иосифа,
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
9 и сказал народу своему: вот, народ сынов Израилевых многочислен и сильнее нас;
9 He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10 перехитрим же его, чтобы он не размножался; иначе, когда случится война, соединится и он с нашими неприятелями, и вооружится против нас, и выйдет из земли [нашей].
10 Come, let’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”
11 И поставили над ним начальников работ, чтобы изнуряли его тяжкими работами. И он построил фараону Пифом и Раамсес, города для запасов, [и он, иначе Илиополь].
11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.
12 Но чем более изнуряли его, тем более он умножался и тем более возрастал, так что [Египтяне] опасались сынов Израилевых.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.
13 И потому Египтяне с жестокостью принуждали сынов Израилевых к работам
13 The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,
14 и делали жизнь их горькою от тяжкой работы над глиною и кирпичами и от всякой работы полевой, от всякой работы, к которой принуждали их с жестокостью.
14 and they made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
15 Царь Египетский повелел повивальным бабкам Евреянок, из коих одной имя Шифра, а другой Фуа,
15 The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah,
16 и сказал [им]: когда вы будете повивать у Евреянок, то наблюдайте при родах: если будет сын, то умерщвляйте его, а если дочь, то пусть живет.
16 and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
17 Но повивальные бабки боялись Бога и не делали так, как говорил им царь Египетский, и оставляли детей в живых.
17 But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.
18 Царь Египетский призвал повивальных бабок и сказал им: для чего вы делаете такое дело, что оставляете детей в живых?
18 The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing and saved the boys alive?”
19 Повивальные бабки сказали фараону: Еврейские женщины не так, как Египетские; они здоровы, ибо прежде нежели придет к ним повивальная бабка, они уже рождают.
19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
20 За сие Бог делал добро повивальным бабкам, а народ умножался и весьма усиливался.
20 God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21 И так как повивальные бабки боялись Бога, то Он устроял домы их.
21 Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
22 Тогда фараон всему народу своему повелел, говоря: всякого новорожденного [у Евреев] сына бросайте в реку, а всякую дочь оставляйте в живых.
22 Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… power rigorously upon the children of Israel; and they made life bitter to them by severe labours, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field which they did, by all the works in which they oppressed them with rigour." And with immense labour they built for them fenced cities, increasing the substance of these …
And again, did not that very nation, when making bricks in Egypt, also serve hard rulers, not only in gold and silver, but also in clay? If you were never in bondage to any man, ungrateful people, why is it that God is continually reminding you that He delivered you from the house of bondage?
