Exodus 5
1 After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
Daga bisani sai Musa da Haruna suka tafi wurin Fir’auna suka ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Bari mutanena su tafi domin su yi mini biki a hamada.’”
2 But Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and I will not let Israel go.”
Fir’auna ya ce, “Wane ne Ubangiji da zan yi biyayya da shi, har in bar Isra’ila su tafi? Ban san Ubangiji ba, kuma ba zan bar Isra’ila su tafi ba.”
3 “The God of the Hebrews has met with us,” they answered. “Please let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to the LORD our God, or He may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
Sai suka ce, “Allah na Ibraniyawa ya sadu da mu. Yanzu bari mu ɗauki tafiyar kwana uku cikin hamada domin mu miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji Allahnmu, don kada yă buga mu da annoba ko takobi.”
4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”
Amma sarkin Masar ya ce wa, “Musa da Haruna, don me kuke hana mutane yin aikinsu? Ku koma wurin aikinku!”
5 Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce, “Ga shi mutane sun yi yawa a ƙasar Masar, ku kuma yanzu kuna so ku hana su yin aiki.”
6 That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
A wannan rana Fir’auna ya ba da wannan umarni wa shugabannin masu gandu,
7 “You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
“Kada ku ƙara ba wa mutanen ciyawar tattaka domin su yi tubula, bari su tafi su tattara tattaka da kansu.
8 But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
Ku kuma bukace su su yi tubula daidai yawan tubalin da suka saba yi, kada ku rage. Ragwaye ne, shi ya sa suke kuka cewa, ‘Bari mu tafi mu yi hadaya ga Allahnmu.’
9 Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
Ku sa waɗannan mutane su yi aiki mai tsanani sosai, don kada su sami zarafin kasa kunne ga maganganun ƙarya.”
10 So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.
Sai shugabannin masu aikin gandu suka fita suka gaya wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Ga abin da Fir’auna ya ce, ‘Ba zan ƙara ba ku tattaka ba.
11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
Ku tafi ku nemo wa kanku tattaka duk inda za ku samu, amma ba za a rage aikinku ba ko kaɗan.’”
12 So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Saboda haka mutane suka warwatsu ko’ina a Masar domin tattara bunnun da za su yi amfani da su, maimakon tattaka.
13 The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
Shugabannin gandu suka dinga matsa musu suna cewa, “Ku cika aikin da aka bukace ku na kowace rana kamar yadda kuke yi sa’ad da kuke da tattaka.”
14 Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”
Manyan Isra’ilawa waɗanda shugabannin gandun Fir’auna suka naɗa, suka sha dūka, aka kuma yi musu tambayoyi ana cewa, “Don me ba ku cika yawan tubula na jiya da na yau kamar yadda kuka saba ba?”
15 So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
Sai manyan Isra’ila masu bi da aikin gandu suka tafi wurin Fir’auna suka yi roƙo suna cewa, “Don me kake yi wa bayinka haka?
16 No straw has been given to your servants, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”
Ba a ba wa bayinka tattaka, duk da haka ana ce mana, ‘Ku yi tubula!’ Ana wa bayinka dūka, amma fa laifin na mutanenka ne.”
17 “You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
Fir’auna ya ce, “Ku ragwaye ne! Shi ya sa kuke cewa, ‘Bari mu tafi mu yi hadaya wa Ubangiji.’
18 Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
Ku ɓace yanzu daga nan, ku koma wurin aikinku. Ba za a ba ku tattaka ba, kuma dole ku fid da tubula kamar yadda kuka saba.”
19 The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
Manyan Isra’ilawa da suke bi da aikin gandu suka gane cewa sun shiga uku, sa’ad da aka gaya musu, “Ba za ku rage yawan tubulan da aka bukace ku ku yi na kowace rana ba.”
20 When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
Da suka bar Fir’auna, sai suka sadu da Musa da Haruna suna jira su sadu da su,
21 “May the LORD look upon you and judge you,” the foremen said, “for you have made us a stench before Pharaoh and his officials; you have placed in their hand a sword to kill us!”
sai suka ce, “Bari Ubangiji yă duba, yă kuma hukunta ku! Kun maishe mu abin ƙyama ga Fir’auna da bayinsa, kuka kuma sa musu takobi a hannunsu don su kashe mu.”
22 So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?
Musa ya koma wurin Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, don me ka kawo wahala a kan mutanen nan? Abin da ya sa ka aiko ni ke nan?
23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and You have not delivered Your people in any way.”
Gama tun da na tafi wurin Fir’auna, na yi masa magana da sunanka, sai ya fara gasa wa mutanen nan azaba, ba ka kuma ceci mutanenka.”
