Holy Thursday Mass, Usomaji wa Kwanza

1:1	These are the names of the sons of Israel, who went into Egypt with Jacob. They entered, each one with his house:
1:2	Reubeni, Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda,
1:3	Isakari, Zebulun, na Benjamini,
1:4	Dani na Naftali, Gadi na Asheri.
1:5	Kwa hiyo, all the souls of those who went forth from Jacob’s thigh were seventy. Now Joseph was in Egypt.
1:6	When he had died, along with all of his brothers and all of that generation,
1:7	the sons of Israel increased, and they multiplied like seedlings. And having been strengthened exceedingly, they filled the land.
1:8	Wakati huo huo, akainuka mfalme mpya juu ya Misri, ambaye hakumjua Yusufu.
1:11	Na hivyo akaweka juu yao wakuu wa kazi, ili kuwatesa na mizigo. Wakamjengea Farao miji ya vibanda: Pithomu na Ramses.
1:12	Na ndivyo walivyozidi kuwaonea, zaidi sana waliongezeka na kuongezeka.
1:13	Na Wamisri wakawachukia wana wa Israeli, na wakawatesa na kuwafanyia mzaha.
1:14	Na waliongoza maisha yao moja kwa moja kwenye uchungu, kwa kazi ngumu katika udongo na matofali, na kila aina ya utumwa, hivi kwamba walikuwa wamelemewa na kazi za nchi.
