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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 draw off the people from their works? Get you gone 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 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?
Tinovo’ i Parò ty hoe, Ingo te maro t’indaty an-tane ao henaneo vaho ipaia’ areo hitroatse tsy hitoloñe!
6 Therefore he commanded the same day 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 give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them 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 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.
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 Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
Anovoño asa ondatio, hifanehafa’ iareo tsy hitsanom-bolam-bande.
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:
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 gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.
Akia, atontono ahetse amy ze hahatendreha’ areo, fe tsy haketrake ty fitoloña’ areo.
12 And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.
Aa le fonga niparaitak’ an-tane Mitsraime ao ondatio nanontone tain-ava hasolo i bokay.
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.
Tinaentae’ o mpanao bozizio ka ami’ty hoe, Henefo ty fitoloña’ areo lomoñandro ho mira amy fasiañ’ ahetse teoy.
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?
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 officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
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 us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.
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 therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
Hoe re, Mikopiso avao ty tembo retia, izay ty atao’ areo ty hoe, Angao hisoroñe amy Iehovà.
18 Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.
Akia, arè, mitromaha fe tsy homeañe ahetse vaho mbe hasese’ areo ty anjara’ birike.
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.
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 Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao:
Ie nienga i Parò, le nifanjò amy Mosè naho i Aharone nijohañe ey hifanalaka am’iereo,
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.
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 said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou 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 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.
Fa boak’ ami’ty niheovako amy Parò hivolañe amy tahina’oy, le nanoe’e samporerake ondaty retoa vaho tsy rinomba’o ondati’oo.
