1 Bangʼe Musa gi Harun nodhi ir Farao mi giwachone niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kama: ‘We joga odhi, mondo gilosna sawo e thim.’”
And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.
2 To Farao nodwokogi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye to en ngʼa, ma dimi awinj dwonde mi awe jo-Israel dhi? Ok angʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye kendo ok anawe jo-Israel dhi.”
And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.
3 Negiwachone niya, “Nyasach jo-Hibrania oseromo kodwa. Omiyo koro yie iwe wadhi e thim kama kawo e wuodh ndalo adek mondo wachiw misengini ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, nono to dipo ka okelonwa masiche kata tho.”
And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4 To ruodh Misri nowachonegi niya, “Musa gi Harun, en angʼo momiyo ugolo ji kuom tijegi ma gitimo? Doguru e tiju!”
And the king of Egypt said to them, Therefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
5 Eka Farao nomedo wacho niya, “Neuru, ogandani koro osenyaa momedore to pod udwaro chungogi e tich.”
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6 Chiengʼ onogo Farao nogolo chik ni jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche kowachonegi niya,
And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 “Kik uchak umi jo-Israel lum magilosogo matafare; to nyaka une ni giomo lum kendgi giwegi.
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick as formerly. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 To nyaka une ni giloso matafare ma kwan-gi romre gi mano ma gisebedo ka giloso, kik uwe kwan-go dog chien. Gin jonyawo, emomiyo gigoyo koko ni, ‘Yie iwewa wadhi kendo wachiw misango ni Nyasachwa.’
And the number of the bricks, which they made formerly, ye shall lay upon them. Ye shall not diminish any of it. For they are idle, therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 Keturu tich obed matekie moloyo ni jogi mondo gisiki ka gitiyo kendo kik uchik itu ne miriambogi.”
Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard lying words.
10 Eka jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche ne odhi mowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ma e gima Farao wacho, ‘Ok abi miyou lum kendo.
And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 Dhiuru mondo udwar lumbu kamoro amora ma unyalo yude, to ngʼeuru ni tiju to ok nodwok chien kata matin.’”
Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it, for none of your work shall be diminished.
12 Omiyo jo-Israel nokee e piny Misri duto ka gichoko lum.
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Jorit wasumbini ne kasogi kawachonegi niya, “Tiekuru tich momiu odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, mana machal kaka ne utimo kane un gi lum.”
And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
14 Nyipeche ma jo-Israel mane jotich Farao oyiero nigoyo kipenjogi niya, “En angʼo mosemonou loso matafare ndalo ariyogi kaka uloso pile?”
And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and today, in making brick as formerly?
15 Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nodhi modonjo ir Farao kagiwacho niya, “Ere gima omiyo isetimone jotichni kama?
Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why do thou deal thus with thy servants?
16 Jotichni ok mi kata mana lum, to eka pod inyisowa kama: ‘Losuru matafare!’ Jotichni igoyo, to jogi ema nigi ketho.”
There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick. And, behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault it in thine own people.
17 Eka Farao nowacho niya, “Jonyawogi un mana jonyawo! Mano e gima omiyo usiko kuwacho ni, ‘Yie wadhi mondo wachiw misango ni Jehova Nyasaye.’
But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle. Therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.
18 Koro doguru e tich, ok nomiu lum moro amora, to nyaka ulos matafare ma kar kwan-gi rom gi ma usebedo kuloso pile.”
Go therefore now, and work, for there shall no straw be given you, yet ye shall deliver the number of bricks.
19 Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nofwenyo ni gin e chandruok ka nonyisogi niya, “Ok unyal dwoko kar kwan matafare musebedo kuloso pile.”
And the officers of the sons of Israel saw that they were in affliction, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, your daily tasks.
20 Bangʼ kane gisea ir Farao, negiyudo Musa gi Harun karitogi mondo orom kodgi,
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh,
21 kendo negiwachonegi niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye neu mi ngʼadnu bura! Usemiyo wadoko gima dungʼ mangʼwe ni Farao kod jodonge kendo useketo ligangla e lwetgi mondo ginegwago.”
and they said to them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge, because ye have made our fragrance to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
22 Eka Musa nodok ir Jehova Nyasaye mowachone niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, en angʼo momiyo isekelo chandruok ni ogandani? Koso ma emomiyo ni ora?
And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Lord, why have thou dealt ill with this people? Why is it that thou have sent me?
23 Nyaka nachak dhi ir Farao mondo awuo e nyingi, osekelo chandruok ni ogandani bende ok isereso ogandani ngangʼ.”
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has dealt ill with this people, neither have thou delivered thy people at all.
