Liber Exodus

Hæc sunt nomina filiorum Israël qui ingressi sunt in Ægyptum cum Jacob: singuli cum domibus suis introierunt:

These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in every man with his household:

Hoc es nomines de filios Israële qui ingredior es in Aegypto cum Iacobo: singulo cum domos suo introi:

Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,

Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,

Rubene, Symeone, Levi, Iudase,

Issachar, Zabulon et Benjamin,

Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,

Issachare, Zabulone et Beniamine,

Dan et Nephthali, Gad et Aser.

Dan, and Nephthali, Gad and Aser.

Dano et Nephthali, Gado et Asro.

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

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

Es ergo omni animas de illos qui egredior es de femore Iacobo, septuaginta: ioseph autem in Aegypto es.

Quo mortuo, et universis fratribus ejus, omnique cognatione illa,

After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,

Quo more, et universa fratres de illo, et omni cognatione illa,

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

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

Filios Israële cerne, et quasi germina multiplica es: et robora nimis, imple terra.

Surrexit interea rex novus super Ægyptum, qui ignorabat Joseph.

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

Surge interea rege novo super Aegypto, qui ignora Ioseph.

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

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

Et dic ad populo suo: ecce, populo de filios Israële multo, et forti ad nos es.

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

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.

Veni, sapienter opprime illo, ne forte multiplica: et si ingrue contra nos bello, adde inimicos nostro, et expugna ad nos egredior de terra.

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

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.

Praepone itaque ad illos magistros de operes, ut afflige illos oneres: et aedifica urbes de tabernaculos de Pharaone, Phithome et Ramesum.

Quantoque opprimebant eos, tanto magis multiplicabantur, et crescebant:

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

Et quanto opprime illos, tanto magis multiplica, et cresce:

oderantque filios Israël Ægyptii, et affligebant illudentes eis,

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

Et ode filios Israële Aegyptiis, et afflige illude ad illos,

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

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.

Et ad amaritudine perduce vita de illos operes duro de luto et de latere, et omni famulatu, quo in terra operes preme.

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

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

Rege autem de Aegypto obstetrices de Hebraeis dic, de qui uno voca Sephora, altero Phua,

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

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.

Praecipie ad illos: quando obstetricor Hebraeis, et partu tempore advenie: si masculo es, interfice illo: si femina, reserva.

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

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

Obstetrices autem time Deo, et non fac juxta praecepto de rege de Aegypto, sed conserva maris.

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

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

Ad que ad se accerga, rege dic: quisname es hoc quod facere vol, ut pueros serva?

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

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.

Que responde: non es Aebreas sicut aegyptias mulieres: ipso nam obstetricor habe scientia, et antequam veni ad illas, pare.

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

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

Bene ergo Deo fac obstetrices: et populo cresce, et conforta es nimis.

Et quia timuerunt obstetrices Deum, ædificavit eis domos.

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

Et quia obstetrices time Deo, aedifica ad illos domos.

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

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.

Pharao ergo praecipie omni ad populo suo, dicente: omni masculino de sexu nasce es, in flumine proicie: femininos reserva, omni.
