BrLXX Ἐκάλεσε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου τὰς μαίας, καὶ εἶπεν αὐταῖς, τί ὅτι ἐποιήσατε τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο, καὶ ἐζωογονεῖτε τὰ ἄρσενα;
(Ekalese de ho basileus Aiguptou tas maias, kai eipen autais, ti hoti epoiaʸsate to pragma touto, kai ezōogoneite ta arsena?)
1:1-22 The need for deliverance was obviously related to the Israelites’ condition (the Egyptians worked the people of Israel without mercy, 1:13); it also was related to promises God had made to the patriarchs years earlier. The Lord had promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great nation, living in freedom in the land of Canaan. At this point, Abraham’s descendants were slaves in Egypt under a pharaoh determined to decimate them as a people. God would have to rescue the people if his promises were to be kept.

If it would be more natural in your language, you could translate this quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and he asked them why they were letting the sons live.”

Alternate translation: “Why have you not killed the baby boys?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
עֲשִׂיתֶ֖ן
done
This you is plural. The king is speaking to the two midwives. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a dual or plural form here.
