Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.'
Sima na yango, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe balobaki: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tika bato na Ngai kokende kosala feti na esobe mpo na lokumu na Ngai. »
2 And Pharaoh said: 'Who is the LORD, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go.'
Faraon azongisaki: — Ye Yawe nde nani mpo ete ngai natosa ye mpe natika Isalaele kokende? Nayebi ye te mpe nakotika te ete Isalaele akende.
3 And they said: 'The God of the Hebrews hath met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.'
Balobaki: — Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre akutanaki na biso. Sik’oyo, tika biso totambola mikolo misato kati na esobe mpo ete tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mbeka; noki te akoboma biso na bokono to na mopanga.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them: 'Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, cause the people to break loose from their work? get you unto your burdens.'
Kasi mokonzi ya Ejipito alobaki: — Moyize mpe Aron, mpo na nini bozali kopekisa bato kosala misala na bango? Bozonga na mosala na bino!
5 And Pharaoh said: 'Behold, the people of the land are now many, and will ye make them rest from their burdens?'
Faraon abakisaki lisusu: — Botala! Bato oyo bakomi ebele kati na mokili, bongo bino bozali kopekisa bango kosala mosala!
6 And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying:
Kaka na mokolo wana, Faraon apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu mpe na bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele:
7 'Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
— Bokopesa lisusu matiti te epai ya bato oyo mpo na kosala babiliki ndenge bozalaki kopesa bango liboso; botika bango moko bakende kolokota matiti na bango.
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof; for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Kasi botinda bango kosala kaka motango ya babiliki oyo basalaka wuta kala, bokitisa motango na yango te. Bazali bagoyigoyi, yango wana bazali koganga: « Tika biso tokende kobonzela Nzambe na biso mbeka! »
9 Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard lying words.'
Bokomisa makasi misala na bango mpo ete bakoma na mosala ebele mpe batia matoyi te na makambo ya lokuta.
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying: 'Thus saith Pharaoh: I will not give you straw.
Bongo bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu mpe bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele babimaki mpe balobaki na bato: — Tala makambo oyo Faraon alobi: « Nakopesa bino lisusu matiti te.
11 Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it; for nought of your work shall be diminished.'
Bokende kozwa matiti bino moko na esika oyo bokoki komona yango! Kasi motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino ekokita ata moke te. »
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Boye bana ya Isalaele bapanzanaki na Ejipito mobimba mpo na kolokota matiti ya kotumba na yango babiliki.
13 And the taskmasters were urgent, saying: 'Fulfil your work, your daily task, as when there was straw.'
Bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu bazalaki kotindika bango na makasi mpe koloba: — Bokokisa motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino mpo na mokolo na mokolo lokola na tango oyo bazalaki kopesa bino matiti!
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, saying: 'Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your appointed task in making brick both yesterday and today as heretofore?'
Bakambi oyo Faraon aponaki mpo na kolandela misala makasi ya bawumbu babetaki bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bango batiaki mpe batunaki bango: — Mpo na nini lobi oyo eleki mpe lelo bokokisi te motango ya babiliki oyo bosalaka wuta kala?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying: 'Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Bakengeli ya bana ya Isalaele bakendeki kolela epai ya Faraon: — Mpo na nini ozali kosala basali na yo boye?
16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us: Make brick; and, behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault is in thine own people.'
Bazali kopesa lisusu te matiti epai ya basali na yo, nzokande bazali koloba na biso: « Bosala babiliki! » Sik’oyo tala, basali na yo bazali kobetama, kasi mbeba ezali epai ya bato na yo moko.
17 But he said: 'Ye are idle, ye are idle; therefore ye say: Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.
Faraon alobaki: — Bagoyigoyi! Bozali penza bagoyigoyi! Yango wana bozali koloba: « Tika biso tokende kobonzela Yawe mbeka. »
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.'
Sik’oyo, bozonga na mosala! Bakopesa bino lisusu matiti te, kasi bokosala kaka motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were set on mischief, when they said: 'Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, your daily task.'
Bakengeli ya bana ya Isalaele bamonaki ete bakomi na pasi koleka tango bayebisaki bango: « Motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino mpo na mokolo na mokolo ekokita te. »
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh;
Tango batikaki Faraon, batombokelaki Moyize mpe Aron oyo bazalaki kozela bango.
21 and they said unto them: 'The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.'
Balobaki: — Tika ete Yawe atala bino mpe asambisa bino! Bokomisi biso eloko ya nkele liboso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye mpe botie mopanga na maboko na bango mpo ete baboma biso!
22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Lord, wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that Thou hast sent me?
Boye Moyize abalukaki epai na Yawe mpe abondelaki: — Nkolo! Mpo na nini ozali komemela bato oyo pasi? Boni, ezali mpo na yango nde otindaki ngai?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast Thou delivered Thy people at all.'
Wuta tango nakendeki koloba na Faraon na Kombo na Yo, Faraon akomi konyokola bato oyo, bongo Yo ozali kosala ata eloko moke te mpo na kokangola bango!
