Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
post haec ingressi sunt Moses et Aaron et dixerunt Pharaoni haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is YHWH, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not YHWH, neither will I let Israel go.
at ille respondit quis est Dominus ut audiam vocem eius et dimittam Israhel nescio Dominum et Israhel non dimittam
3 And they said, The Elohim of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto YHWH our Elohim; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
dixerunt Deus Hebraeorum vocavit nos ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
ait ad eos rex Aegypti quare Moses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis ite ad onera vestra
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
dixitque Pharao multus est populus terrae videtis quod turba succreverit quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
praecepit ergo in die illo praefectis operum et exactoribus populi dicens
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres sicut prius sed ipsi vadant et colligant stipulam
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our Elohim.
et mensuram laterum quos prius faciebant inponetis super eos nec minuetis quicquam vacant enim et idcirco vociferantur dicentes eamus et sacrificemus Deo nostro
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
opprimantur operibus et expleant ea ut non adquiescant verbis mendacibus
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
igitur egressi praefecti operum et exactores ad populum dixerunt sic dicit Pharao non do vobis paleas
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
ite et colligite sicubi invenire potueritis nec minuetur quicquam de opere vestro
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Aegypti ad colligendas paleas
13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
praefecti quoque operum instabant dicentes conplete opus vestrum cotidie ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleae
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
flagellatique sunt qui praeerant operibus filiorum Israhel ab exactoribus Pharaonis dicentibus quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius nec heri nec hodie
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
veneruntque praepositi filiorum Israhel et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes cur ita agis contra servos tuos
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.
paleae non dantur nobis et lateres similiter imperantur en famuli tui flagellis caedimur et iniuste agitur contra populum tuum
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to YHWH.
qui ait vacatis otio et idcirco dicitis eamus et sacrificemus Domino
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
ite ergo et operamini paleae non dabuntur vobis et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
videbantque se praepositi filiorum Israhel in malo eo quod diceretur eis non minuetur quicquam de lateribus per singulos dies
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
occurreruntque Mosi et Aaron qui stabant ex adverso egredientes a Pharaone
21 And they said unto them, YHWH 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.
et dixerunt ad eos videat Dominus et iudicet quoniam fetere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharao et servis eius et praebuistis ei gladium ut occideret nos
22 And Moses returned unto YHWH, and said, YHWH, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
reversusque Moses ad Dominum ait Domine cur adflixisti populum istum quare misisti me
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer nomine tuo adflixit populum tuum et non liberasti eos
