1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.
1 ESTOS son los nombres de los hijos de Israel, que entraron en Egipto con Jacob; cada uno entró con su familia.
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
5 All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons: and Joseph had come to Egypt before them.
5 Y todas las almas de los que salieron del muslo de Jacob, fueron setenta. Y José estaba en Egipto.
5 All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
6 Y murió José, y todos sus hermanos, y toda aquella generación.
6 Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.
7 Y los hijos de Israel crecieron, y multiplicaron, y fueron aumentados y corroborados en extremo; y llenóse la tierra de ellos.
7 The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
8 Levantóse entretanto un nuevo rey sobre Egipto, que no conocía á José; el cual dijo á su pueblo:
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
9 And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are:
9 He aquí, el pueblo de los hijos de Israel es mayor y más fuerte que nosotros:
9 He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10 Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land.
10 Ahora, pues, seamos sabios para con él, porque no se multiplique, y acontezca que viniendo guerra, él también se junte con nuestros enemigos, y pelee contra nosotros, y se vaya de la tierra.
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 So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
11 Entonces pusieron sobre él comisarios de tributos que los molestasen con sus cargas; y edificaron á Faraón las ciudades de los bastimentos, Phithom y Raamses.
11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians.
12 Empero cuanto más los oprimían, tanto más se multiplicaban y crecían: así que estaban ellos fastidiados de los hijos de Israel.
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 And they gave the children of Israel even harder work to do:
13 Y los Egipcios hicieron servir á los hijos de Israel con dureza:
13 The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,
14 And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.
14 Y amargaron su vida con dura servidumbre, en [hacer] barro y ladrillo, y en toda labor del campo, y en todo su servicio, al cual los obligaban con rigorismo.
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 And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),
15 Y habló el rey de Egipto á las parteras de las Hebreas, una de las cuales se llamaba Siphra, y otra Phúa, y díjoles:
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 When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.
16 Cuando parteareis á las Hebreas, y mirareis los asientos, si fuere hijo, matadlo; y si fuere hija, entonces viva.
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 But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.
17 Mas las parteras temieron á Dios, y no hicieron como les mandó el rey de Egipto, sino que reservaban la vida á los niños.
17 But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.
18 And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?
18 Y el rey de Egipto hizo llamar á las parteras, y díjoles: Por qué habéis hecho esto, que habéis reservado la vida á los niños?
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 And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.
19 Y las parteras respondieron á Faraón: Porque las mujeres Hebreas no son como las Egipcias: porque son robustas, y paren antes que la partera venga á ellas.
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 And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.
20 Y Dios hizo bien á las parteras: y el pueblo se multiplicó, y se corroboraron en gran manera.
20 God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21 And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.
21 Y por haber las parteras temido á Dios, él les hizo casas.
21 Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
22 And Pharaoh gave orders to all his people, saying, Every son who comes to birth is to be put into the river, but every daughter may go on living.
22 Entonces Faraón mandó á todo su pueblo, diciendo: Echad en el río todo hijo que naciere, y á toda hija reservad la vida.
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.”

… 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?
