Exodus 5
1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
Apre sa, Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka fè yon fèt pou mwen nan dezè a.
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
Farawon an reponn: -Kilès ki Seyè a pou m' ta swiv lòd li, pou m' kite pèp Izrayèl la ale? Mwen pa konnen Seyè sa a. Mwen p'ap kite pèp Izrayèl la al ankenn kote.
3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
Moyiz ak Arawon di l': -Bondye ebre yo te parèt devan nou. Tanpri, kite n al fè yon ti vwayaj nan dezè a. Lè n'a fin mache pandan twa jou, n'a rete pou n' touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou pa fè sa, l'a voye move maladi sou nou, osinon l'a fè nou mouri nan lagè.
4 The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
Wa Lejip la di Moyiz ak Arawon: -Poukisa nou vle fè pèp la kite travay li? Tounen nan travay nou!
5 Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
Farawon an di ankò: -Gade. Nou wè jan pèp sa a vin pi plis pase moun peyi a. Koulye a atò, nou ta vle pou yo kite travay yo?
6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
Menm jou sa a, farawon an rele moun peyi Lejip ki te chèf kòve yo ansanm ak moun pèp Izrayèl ki te fòmann yo, li ba yo lòd sa a:
7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
-Pa janm bay moun sa yo pay ankò pou yo fè brik, jan nou te konn fè l' la. Se yo menm ki pou al ranmase pay yo bezwen.
8 You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
Men, se pou yo founi menm valè brik yo te konn bay anvan an, san manke yonn. Se yon bann parese yo ye. Se poutèt sa y'ap kriye, y'ap di: O wi, ann al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Bondye nou an.
9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Do not let them pay any attention to lying words.”
Fè yo travay pi rèd. Pa kite yo poze menm. Konsa yo p'ap gen tan pou yo koute tout radòt moun ap vin di yo.
10 The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
Chèf kòve yo ak fòmann yo vin di pèp la: -Men sa farawon an voye di nou: Li p'ap ban nou pay ankò.
11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
Se nou menm ki pou al ranmase pay kote nou ka jwenn. Men, se toujou menm valè brik la pou nou bay.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Se konsa, pèp la gaye toupatou nan peyi Lejip ap chache zèb pou fè pay.
13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
Chèf kòve yo te dèyè yo tout tan, yo t'ap di yo: -Se pou nou fè menm valè brik chak jou menm jan ak lè yo te konn ban nou pay la.
14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why have not you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
Chèf kòve farawon yo te mete kèk moun pèp Izrayèl pou sèvi fòmann. Ata fòmann sa yo te anba makak tou. Chèf kòve yo t'ap mande yo: -Poukisa ni ayè ni jòdi a, nou pa t' bay menm valè brik nou te konn fè anvan an?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
Lè sa a, fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo t al plenyen bay farawon an. Yo di l': -Monwa, poukisa ou fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo sa?
16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
Yo pa ban nou pay ankò. Atousa, se tout tan y'ap mande nou pou nou fè brik. Lèfini, yo mete nou anba makak. Men, se moun pa ou yo ki antò wi, monwa.
17 But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
Farawon an reponn yo: -Se yon bann parese nou ye. Se poutèt sa n'ap di: O wi, kite n al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Seyè a.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
Al nan pye travay nou, tande! Yo p'ap ban nou pay ankò. Degaje nou bay menm kantite brik la.
19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
Fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin wè yo te nan yon move sitiyasyon lè yo mande yo pou yo fè menm valè brik yo te konn fè a chak jou, san manke yonn.
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
Antan y'ap soti kay farawon an, yo kontre Moyiz ak Arawon ki t'ap tann yo.
21 They said to them, “May the LORD look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
Yo di yo: -Se pou Seyè a wè sa nou fè la a. Se pou l' pini nou. Paske se nou menm ki lakòz ni farawon an ni moun k'ap sèvi l' yo pa vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Nou mete yon nepe nan men yo pou yo fini ak pèp la.
22 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
Lè sa a, Moyiz tounen al jwenn Seyè a ankò, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa w'ap maltrete pèp la konsa? Poukisa ou te voye m'?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”
Depi menm lè mwen t al bò kote farawon an pou m' pale avè l' pou ou a, se maltrete l'ap maltrete pèp ou a. Epi ou pa fè anyen pou delivre pèp la.
