Exodus 5
1 After these things, Moses and Aaron entered, and they said to Pharaoh: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Release my people, so that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.”
Tampetse izay le niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone, nanao ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Angao hañavelo mb’eo ondatikoo hanoe’ iereo sabadidak’ amako am-patrambey añe.
2 But he responded: “Who is the Lord, that I should listen to his voice and release Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not release Israel.”
Aa hoe t’i Parò, Ia ze o Iehovà zao te ho haoñeko ty feo’e hampiavotako Israele. Amoeako ze o Iehovà zao vaho tsy hapoko hionjoñe ka t’Israele.
3 And they said: “The God of the Hebrews has called us, so that we may go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God. Otherwise, a pestilence or the sword may befall us.”
Le hoe iereo, Nifañaoñe ama’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo; aa le hañavelo lia telo andro mb’ ampatrañe añe zahay hisoroñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, tsy mone hampiambotraha’e am’ angorosy ndra fibara.
4 The king of Egypt said to them: “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, distract the people from their works? Go back to your burdens.”
Fe hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime am’ iereo. O Mosè naho Aharone, inom-bao ty hampisitahañe ondatio amo fitoloña’eo? Mimpolia amo fijinia’areoo!
5 And Pharaoh said: “The people of the land are many. You see that the turmoil has increased: how much more if you give them rest from the works?”
Tinovo’ i Parò ty hoe, Ingo te maro t’indaty an-tane ao henaneo vaho ipaia’ areo hitroatse tsy hitoloñe!
6 Therefore, on the same day, he instructed the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:
Aa le linili’ i Parò amy andro zay amo mpanao bozizi’ iareoo naho amo mpisari’ iareoo, ty hoe:
7 “You shall no longer give chaff to the people to form bricks, as before. But they may go and gather straw.
Tsy hatolotse ahetse ka ondatio fe hamboatse birike mira amy teoy; angao hatonto’ iareo ze ahetse paiaeñe.
8 And you shall impose upon them the same quota of bricks that they made before. Neither will you lessen anything, for they are idle, and therefore they cry out, saying: ‘We shall go and sacrifice to our God.’
Le ampano’ areo birike mira amy nanoeñe taoloy, tsy haketrake, amy t’ie votro, izay ty mampitoreo iareo ami’ty hoe: Apoho hiavotse añe hisoroñe aman’ Añahare’ay.
9 They shall be oppressed with works, and these shall occupy them, so that they may not agree to lying words.”
Anovoño asa ondatio, hifanehafa’ iareo tsy hitsanom-bolam-bande.
10 And so the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: “Thus says Pharaoh: I give you no chaff.
Aa le niakatse mb’eo o mpanao bozizio naho o mpisari’ ondatioo, nanao ty hoe am’ondatio, Hoe t’i Parò, Tsy hitolorako ahetse.
11 Go, and collect it wherever you are able to find it. Neither will anything of your work be diminished.”
Akia, atontono ahetse amy ze hahatendreha’ areo, fe tsy haketrake ty fitoloña’ areo.
12 And the people were dispersed through all the land of Egypt, in order to gather straw.
Aa le fonga niparaitak’ an-tane Mitsraime ao ondatio nanontone tain-ava hasolo i bokay.
13 Likewise, the overseers of the works pressured them, saying: “Complete your work each day, just as you were accustomed to do before, when straw was given to you.”
Tinaentae’ o mpanao bozizio ka ami’ty hoe, Henefo ty fitoloña’ areo lomoñandro ho mira amy fasiañ’ ahetse teoy.
14 And those who were first in the works of the sons of Israel were scourged by Pharaoh’s taskmasters, saying: “Why have you not filled the quota of bricks, neither yesterday, nor today, just as before?”
Finofoke ka o talèm-pitoloña’ o ana’ Israele najado’ o mpanao bozizi’ i Paròo am’ iareoo, ami’ty hoe, Akore te tsy nihenefa’ areo anindroany naho omale ty lili’areo amo birike manahake te taoloo?
15 And the first among the sons of Israel came, and they cried out to Pharaoh, saying: “Why do act against your servants in this way?
Aa le niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo o talè ana’ Israeleo nitoreo ty hoe, Ino ty anoa’o hoe zao o mpitoro’oo?
16 Straw is not given to us, and yet the same amount of bricks is commanded. So we, your servants, are cut up by scourging, and injustice is done against your people.”
Tsy ho tolorañe boka o mpitoro’oo, fa hoe iereo ama’ay, Mañamboara birike! Hehe te finofoke zahay vaho manao hakeo ondati’oo.
17 And he said: “You are idle. And for this reason you say, ‘We shall go and sacrifice to the Lord.’
Hoe re, Mikopiso avao ty tembo retia, izay ty atao’ areo ty hoe, Angao hisoroñe amy Iehovà.
18 Therefore, go and work. Straw will not be given to you, and you will return the customary number of bricks.”
Akia, arè, mitromaha fe tsy homeañe ahetse vaho mbe hasese’ areo ty anjara’ birike.
19 And the first among the sons of Israel saw themselves in a crisis, because it was said to them, “Nothing at all will be lessened from the bricks throughout each day.”
Nirendre’ o talè, ana’ Israeleo, t’ie am-poheke amy saontsi’ey, ty hoe, Tsy haketra’ areo ty anjara birike lomoñandro.
20 And they met with Moses and Aaron, who stood opposite them as they departed from Pharaoh.
Ie nienga i Parò, le nifanjò amy Mosè naho i Aharone nijohañe ey hifanalaka am’iereo,
21 And they said to them: “May the Lord see and judge, because you have caused our odor to become foul before Pharaoh and his servants, and you have provided him with a sword, in order to kill us.”
vaho hoe ty nanoa’ iareo, Ee t’ie ho vazohoe’ Iehovà naho hizaka! Akore ty nañaimboa’ areo anay am-pihaino’ i Parò naho am-pihaino o mpitoro’eo, hanolorañe fibara am-pità’ iareo hañohofa’e loza.
22 And Moses returned to the Lord, and he said: “Lord, why have you afflicted this people? Why have you sent me?
Nitolik’ am’ Iehovà indraike t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe, Ry Talè, akore ty fanilofañe ondaty retoañe? Ino o namantoha’o ahio?
23 For from the time that I entered to Pharaoh, so as to speak in your name, he has afflicted your people. And you have not freed them.”
Fa boak’ ami’ty niheovako amy Parò hivolañe amy tahina’oy, le nanoe’e samporerake ondaty retoa vaho tsy rinomba’o ondati’oo.
