וְ⁠כַ⁠אֲשֶׁר֙ יְעַנּ֣וּ אֹת֔⁠וֹ כֵּ֥ן יִרְבֶּ֖ה וְ⁠כֵ֣ן יִפְרֹ֑ץ

and=as=which oppressed DOM=him/it yes/correct/thus/so multiplied and=thus/so/as_follows spread

This sentence expresses a result that is the opposite of what the king expected. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יָּקֻ֕צוּ מִ⁠פְּנֵ֖י

and,came_to_dread from=face/in_front_of

If your language does not use an abstract noun for this idea, you can express the idea behind the abstract noun dread in another way. Alternate translation: “And they were very afraid of the face of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠פְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

from=face/in_front_of sons_of Yisrael

Here, face means the presence of a person. The phrase means that the Egyptians were afraid of the Israelites’ existence in their country. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “of the growing Israelite population”
