Exodus 5
1 After these things Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.
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.’”
2 But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
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.”
3 And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three days’ journey into the wilderness and to sacrifice to the Lord our God: lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us.
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.”
4 The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens.
To ruodh Misri nowachonegi niya, “Musa gi Harun, en angʼo momiyo ugolo ji kuom tijegi ma gitimo? Doguru e tiju!”
5 And Pharao said: The people of the land is numerous: you see that the multitude is increased: how much more if you give them rest from their works?
Eka Farao nomedo wacho niya, “Neuru, ogandani koro osenyaa momedore to pod udwaro chungogi e tich.”
6 Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:
Chiengʼ onogo Farao nogolo chik ni jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche kowachonegi niya,
7 You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them go and gather straw.
“Kik uchak umi jo-Israel lum magilosogo matafare; to nyaka une ni giomo lum kendgi giwegi.
8 And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
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.’
9 Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
Keturu tich obed matekie moloyo ni jogi mondo gisiki ka gitiyo kendo kik uchik itu ne miriambogi.”
10 And the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao, I allow you no straw:
Eka jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche ne odhi mowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ma e gima Farao wacho, ‘Ok abi miyou lum kendo.
11 Go, and gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.
Dhiuru mondo udwar lumbu kamoro amora ma unyalo yude, to ngʼeuru ni tiju to ok nodwok chien kata matin.’”
12 And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.
Omiyo jo-Israel nokee e piny Misri duto ka gichoko lum.
13 And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfill your work every day as before you were wont to do when straw was given you.
Jorit wasumbini ne kasogi kawachonegi niya, “Tiekuru tich momiu odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, mana machal kaka ne utimo kane un gi lum.”
14 And they that were over the works of the children of Israel were scourged by Pharao’s taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks both yesterday and today as before?
Nyipeche ma jo-Israel mane jotich Farao oyiero nigoyo kipenjogi niya, “En angʼo mosemonou loso matafare ndalo ariyogi kaka uloso pile?”
15 And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nodhi modonjo ir Farao kagiwacho niya, “Ere gima omiyo isetimone jotichni kama?
16 Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.
Jotichni ok mi kata mana lum, to eka pod inyisowa kama: ‘Losuru matafare!’ Jotichni igoyo, to jogi ema nigi ketho.”
17 And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
Eka Farao nowacho niya, “Jonyawogi un mana jonyawo! Mano e gima omiyo usiko kuwacho ni, ‘Yie wadhi mondo wachiw misango ni Jehova Nyasaye.’
18 Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.
Koro doguru e tich, ok nomiu lum moro amora, to nyaka ulos matafare ma kar kwan-gi rom gi ma usebedo kuloso pile.”
19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.
Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nofwenyo ni gin e chandruok ka nonyisogi niya, “Ok unyal dwoko kar kwan matafare musebedo kuloso pile.”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao:
Bangʼ kane gisea ir Farao, negiyudo Musa gi Harun karitogi mondo orom kodgi,
21 And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword to kill us.
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.”
22 And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me?
Eka Musa nodok ir Jehova Nyasaye mowachone niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, en angʼo momiyo isekelo chandruok ni ogandani? Koso ma emomiyo ni ora?
23 For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them.
Nyaka nachak dhi ir Farao mondo awuo e nyingi, osekelo chandruok ni ogandani bende ok isereso ogandani ngangʼ.”
