| 1以色列的兒子們，各帶了家眷，同雅各伯來到埃及；他們的名字記載如下： | 1These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in, every man with his household: |
| 2勒烏本、西默盎、肋未和猶大， | 2Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, |
| 3依撒加爾，則步隆和本雅明， | 3Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin, |
| 4丹和納斐塔里，加得和阿協爾。 | 4Dan, and Nephtali, Gad and Aser. |
| 5他們全是雅各伯所生的，一共七十人；若瑟那時已經在埃及。 | 5And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt. |
| 6若瑟和他的眾兄弟，以及這一代人死了以後， | 6After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation, |
| 7以色列的子孫生育繁殖，數目增多，極其強盛，佈滿了那地。 | 7The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land. |
| 8有位不認識若瑟的新王興起，統治了埃及。 | 8In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph: |
| 9他對自己的人民說：「看，以色列子民，比我們又多又強。 | 9And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we. |
| 10來，我們要用智謀對付他們，免得他們繁盛起來，一遇戰爭，就去與我們的敵人聯合，攻擊我們，然後離開此地。」 | 10Come, 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. |
| 11於是派定督工管制他們，以苦役壓迫他們，叫他們給法郎建築丕通和辣默色斯兩座貯貨城。 | 11Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens, and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom and Ramesses. |
| 12但是越壓迫他們，他們越增多，也越繁殖，以至埃及人都怕以色列子民。 | 12But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied, and increased: |
| 13於是埃及人更嚴厲地強迫以色列子民做苦工， | 13And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them: |
| 14強迫他們作和泥做磚的苦工，田間的一切勞工，以及種種苦工，使他們的生活十分痛苦。 | 14And 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. |
| 15埃及王又吩咐為希伯來女人接生的收生婆，一個名叫史斐辣，一個名叫普亞的說： | 15And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua, |
| 16「你們為希伯來女人接生時，要看着她們臨盆！若是男孩，就殺死；若是女孩，就讓她活着。」 | 16Commanding 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. |
| 17但是收生婆敬畏天主，沒有照埃及王的吩咐去作，保留了男孩的性命。 | 17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children. |
| 18埃及王將收生婆召來，問她們說：「你們為什麼這樣做，竟叫男孩子活着呢？」 | 18And the king called for them and said: What is that you meant to do, that you would save the men children? |
| 19收生婆回答法郎說：「希伯來女人與埃及女人不同，她們富有生機，收生婆還沒有來，她們已生產了。」 | 19They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skillful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them. |
| 20天主遂恩待了收生婆。以色列子民更加增多起來，更加強盛。 | 20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong. |
| 21因為收生婆敬畏天主，天主就使她們家門興旺。 | 21And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses. |
| 22法郎於是訓令他的全體人民說：「凡希伯來人所生的男孩，你們應把他丟在尼羅河裏；凡是女孩，留她活着！」 | 22Pharao 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. |
