2 Mojžišova 5
1 Potom pak přišli Mojžíš s Aronem, a řekli Faraonovi: Takto praví Hospodin, Bůh Izraelský: Propusť lid můj, ať mi slaví svátky na poušti.
Then Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and [one of them/us] said, “Yahweh God, whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says this [to you]: ‘Let my people go to the desert, in order that they may have a feast to [honor] me!’”
2 Odpověděl Farao: Kdo jest Hospodin, abych poslechl hlasu jeho a propustil Izraele? Hospodina neznám, Izraele také nepropustím.
But the king said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I pay attention to what he says and let the Israeli [people] [MTY] go? I do not know Yahweh! And furthermore, I will not let the Israeli [people] go!”
3 I řekli: Bůh Hebrejský potkal se s námi. Nechť medle jdeme cestou tří dní na poušť, a obětujeme Hospodinu Bohu našemu, aby nedopustil na nás moru neb meče.
They/we replied, “Yahweh God, the one we Hebrews [worship], has (revealed himself/appeared) to us [and told us what to tell you]. So we ask you to [please] let us go on a three day journey into the desert. We must offer sacrifices to Yahweh God [there]. [If we do] not do that, he will cause us to die [IDM] from diseases or from attacks [by our enemies] [MTY].”
4 I řekl jim král Egyptský: Proč ty Mojžíši a Arone, odtrhujete lid od prací jejich? Jděte k robotám svým.
But the king of Egypt said to them/us, “Moses and Aaron, (stop trying to keep the Israeli people from working/why are you preventing the Israeli people from working?) [RHQ] [Tell those slaves] to return to work!”
5 Řekl také Farao: Hle, již nyní mnoho jest lidu toho v zemi, a vy odvozujete je od robot jejich.
The king also said, “Listen [to me! You] people [who now live] in this land are now [more] numerous, and you want them [to stop working and] rest!”
6 I přikázal Farao v ten den úředníkům nad lidem a šafářům jeho, řka:
That same day the king commanded the Egyptian slave bosses and the [Israeli] men supervising the slaves,
7 Nedávejte již více slámy lidu k dělání cihel jako prvé; nechať jdou sami a sbírají sobě slámu.
“Do not continue to give the [Israeli] people straw for making bricks, as you have done previously. Make them go [into the fields] and gather straw for themselves.
8 Však touž summu cihel, kterouž udělávali prvé, uložte na ně, nic neujímejte z ní; neboť zahálejí, a protož volají, řkouce: Poďme, obětujme Bohu našemu.
But require them to make the same number of bricks that they did before. Do not decrease the number at all. They (are lazy/do not have enough work to do). That is the reason they are asking me to let them go [into the desert] to offer sacrifices to their god.
9 Nechť se přitíží robot mužům těm; a nechť pracují v nich, aby se neohlédali na slova lživá.
Force the men to work harder, so that they will not [have time] to listen to lies [from their leaders]!”
10 Vyšedše tedy úředníci nad lidem a šafáři jeho, mluvili k lidu, řkouce: Takto praví Farao: Já nebudu vám dávati slámy.
So the slave bosses and supervisors of the slaves went to where the [Israeli] people were and said to them, “The king has said that he will no longer give you any straw.
11 Sami jděte, beřte sobě slámu, kdekoli naleznete; ale nic nebude ujato díla vašeho.
[So] you yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it. But you must still keep working to make the same number of bricks as before.” [LIT]
12 I rozběhl se lid po vší zemi Egyptské, aby trhal strniště místo slámy.
So the Israeli people went all over Egypt to find straw.
13 A úředníci nutili je, řkouce: Vyplňte díla svá, úkol denní v den jeho, jako když sláma byla.
The slave bosses kept telling them insistently, “Finish the work you are required to do each day, [making the same amount of bricks] as you did [before, when we gave you] straw!”
14 I biti jsou šafáři synů Izraelských, kteréž ustanovili nad nimi úředníci Faraonovi, a mluveno k nim: Proč jste nevyplnili úkolu svého v díle cihel, jako prvé, ani včera ani dnes?
[When they were not able to do that], the slave bosses had the [Israeli supervisors] beaten [with sticks], and they asked them, “Why have [all the men you are supervising] not been able to make [the same number] of bricks today/now as [they did] before [RHQ]?”
15 I přišli šafáři synů Izraelských, a volali k Faraonovi, řkouce: Proč tak děláš služebníkům svým?
Then the Israeli supervisors went to the king and complained, saying “[Your Majesty], why are you treating us this way?
16 Slámy se nedává služebníkům tvým, a říkají nám: Dělejte cihly; a hle, služebníci tvoji biti bývají, a hřeší lid tvůj.
[Now] they are not giving us any straw [for making bricks], but they keep commanding us to make bricks. And now sometimes they beat us. But it is the fault of your own slave bosses [that we cannot make as many bricks as before]!”
17 I řekl: Zahálíte, zahálíte, a protož mluvíte: Poďme, obětujme Hospodinu.
But the king said, “You are lazy and do not [want to] work! That is why you keep saying, ‘Allow us to go [to the desert] and offer sacrifices to Yahweh.’
18 Protož nyní jděte, dělejte; slámy se vám dávati nebude, ale vy summu cihel vyplňujte.
So go and get back to work! [We] are not going to give you any straw, but you must keep making the same number of bricks!”
19 Vidouce šafáři synů Izraelských, že zle s nimi, poněvadž řečeno: Neujmete počtu cihel vašich z úkolu denního v den jeho,
The Israeli supervisors realized that they were in a difficult situation, because they had been told, “We are not going to decrease the number of bricks [you must make] each day.”
20 Potkali se s Mojžíšem a Aronem, kteříž stáli, aby jim vstříc vyšli, když by se vraceli od Faraona.
As they left the king’s [palace], they met Aaron and Moses/me, who were waiting for them [there].
21 A mluvili jim: Pohlediž Hospodin na vás, a suď; nebo zošklivili jste nás před Faraonem a služebníky jeho, a dali jste meč v ruku jejich, aby nás zamordovali.
They said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Yahweh has seen [what] you two [have done] He will punish you [MTY], because you have caused the king and his officials to despise us! You have given them an excuse [MTY] to kill us!”
22 I navrátil se Mojžíš k Hospodinu a řekl: Pane, proč jsi tyto zlé věci uvedl na lid tento? Proč jsi mne sem poslal?
Moses/I left them and prayed to Yahweh again, saying, “O Yahweh, why have you caused all these evil things to happen to your people [RHQ]? And why did you send me [here] [RHQ]?
23 Nebo od té chvíle, jakž jsem všel k Faraonovi, abych mluvil jménem tvým, hůře nakládá s lidem tímto, a ty jsi vždy nevysvobodil lidu svého.
Ever since I went to the king and told him what you told me to say [MTY], he has treated your people very cruelly, and you have not done anything to help/rescue them!”
