Exodus 5
1 Then afterwarde Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may celebrate a feast vnto me in the wildernesse.
Na Moses ac Aaron som nu yurin tokosra Egypt ac fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘Fuhlela mwet luk in som, tuh elos fah ku in oru sie kufwa in akfulatyeyu yen mwesis.’”
2 And Pharaoh saide, Who is the Lord, that I should heare his voyce, and let Israel go? I knowe not the Lord, neither will I let Israel goe.
Tokosra el kouyak ac fahk, “Su LEUM GOD? Efu ku ngan lohngol ac fuhlela mwet Israel in som? Nga tia etu ke LEUM GOD, ac nga fah tia lela mwet Israel in som.”
3 And they saide, We worship the God of the Ebrewes: we pray thee, let vs goe three daies iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, least he bring vpon vs the pestilence or sword.
Moses ac Aaron topkol, “God lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut fin tia oru, El ac fah unikuti ke mas ku ke mweun.”
4 Then saide the King of Egypt vnto them, Moses and Aaron, why cause ye the people to cease from their workes? get you to your burdens.
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron, “Efu komtal ku nunku in tulokinya orekma lun mwet uh? Mwet kohs ingan in folokla orekma!
5 Pharaoh saide furthermore, Behold, much people is nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their burdens.
Kowos arulana pus liki mwet Egypt uh, a inge kowos lungse mongla, tia orekma!”
6 Therefore Pharaoh gaue commandement the same day vnto the taskemasters of the people, and to their officers, saying,
Ke len sacna, tokosra el sapkin mwet Egypt su liyaung mwet kohs, ac mwet Israel su mwet kol lalos
7 Ye shall giue the people no more strawe, to make bricke (as in time past) but let them goe and gather them strawe them selues:
in tia sifil sang mah pao nu sin mwet Israel in orek brick kac, a elos in sifacna som suk.
8 Notwithstanding lay vpon them the nober of bricke, which they made in time past, diminish nothing thereof: for they be idle, therefore they crie, saying, Let vs go to offer sacrifice vnto our God.
Tusruktu elos in oru na pisen brick ma elos muta oru meet ah — in tia pueni. El fahk, “Srikla orekma itukyang nu selos an, pa sis elos kwafe na sik nga in fuhlelosla in som orek kisa nu sin God lalos uh!
9 Lay more worke vpon the men, and cause them to do it, and let the not regard vaine words.
Sang orekma lalos an in upa liki meet ah, ac oru elos in kafofo, tuh in wangin pacl lalos in muta porongo kas kikiap inge.”
10 Then went the taskemasters of the people and their officers out, and tolde the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will giue you no more strawe.
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs ac mwet Israel su kol orekma lalos elos som ac fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Tokosra el fahk mu el ac tia sifilpa supu mah pao nu suwos.
11 Goe your selues, get you strawe where yee can finde it, yet shall nothing of your labour bee diminished.
El mu kowos in sifacna som eis yen na kowos ku in konauk we, tusruk pisen brick kowos ac oru an in pisa se na meet ah.”
12 Then were the people scattered abroade throughout all the land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe.
Ouinge mwet uh fahsrelik yen nukewa fin acn Egypt sukok mah pao nu ke brick.
13 And the taskemasters hasted them, saying, Finish your dayes worke euery dayes taske, as ye did when ye had strawe.
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos srike na in kalyaelos in oru na pisen brick sac, oana ke elos tuh orala ke pacl ma itukyang mah pao nu selos.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaohs taskemasters had set ouer them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore haue ye not fulfilled your taske in making bricke yesterday and to daye, as in times past?
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos sringil mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel, su elos srisrngiya in liyaung orekma uh. Elos kouyak ac siyuk, “Efu komtal ku tia oru na pisen brick se ma komtal oru meet ah?”
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came, and cryed vnto Pharaoh, saying, Wherfore dealest thou thus with thy seruants?
Na mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Efu tokosra ku oru ange nu sesr?
16 There is no strawe giuen to thy seruantes, and they say vnto vs, Make bricke: and loe, thy seruants are beaten, and thy people is blamed.
Tia ituku mah pao nu sesr, a srakna sapkinyuk kut in orek brick! Ac inge sringsring kut. Ma koluk inge ma lun mwet lom uh.”
17 But he said, Ye are to much idle: therfore ye say, Let vs goe to offer sacrifice to the Lord.
Tokosra el topuk, “Komtal alsrangesr ac tia lungse orekma, pa pwanang komtal siyuk ngan lela nu sumtal in som ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
18 Goe therefore nowe and worke: for there shall no strawe be giuen you, yet shall yee deliuer the whole tale of bricke.
Folokla orekma! Wangin mah pao ac itukot nu sumtal, tuh kowos in oru na pisen brick sac.”
19 Then the officers of the children of Israel sawe them selues in an euill case, because it was saide, Ye shall diminish nothing of your bricke, nor of euery dayes taske.
Mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel akilenak lah ac arulana koluk nu selos, ke fwackyang tari elos in oru na pisen brick se ke len nukewa oana ke elos muta oru meet ah.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,
Ke elos illa, elos sonol Moses ac Aaron su tu soanelos.
21 To whom they said, The Lord looke vpon you and iudge: for yee haue made our sauour to stinke before Pharaoh and before his seruants, in that ye haue put a sword in their hand to slay vs.
Na elos fahk nu seltal, “LEUM GOD El liye ma komtal oru nu sesr inge ac El ac fah kai komtal mweyen ke sripomtal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal inge srungakut. Komtal sang in oasr sripe elos in unikuti.”
22 Wherefore Moses returned to the Lord, and saide, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou thus sent me?
Na Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O Leum, efu kom ku oru koluk mwet lom? Efu kom ku supweyume nu inge?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speake in thy Name, he hath vexed this people, and yet thou hast not deliuered thy people.
Ke na pacl se nga mutawauk fahsr nu yorol tokosra in kaskas nu sel Inem, el oru arulana koluk nu selos. Ac wanginna ma kom oru in kasrelos!”
