Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
Apre sa, Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka fè yon fèt pou mwen nan dezè a.
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.
Farawon an reponn: -Kilès ki Seyè a pou m' ta swiv lòd li, pou m' kite pèp Izrayèl la ale? Mwen pa konnen Seyè sa a. Mwen p'ap kite pèp Izrayèl la al ankenn kote.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto Yhwh our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
Moyiz ak Arawon di l': -Bondye ebre yo te parèt devan nou. Tanpri, kite n al fè yon ti vwayaj nan dezè a. Lè n'a fin mache pandan twa jou, n'a rete pou n' touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou pa fè sa, l'a voye move maladi sou nou, osinon l'a fè nou mouri nan lagè.
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.
Wa Lejip la di Moyiz ak Arawon: -Poukisa nou vle fè pèp la kite travay li? Tounen nan travay nou!
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
Farawon an di ankò: -Gade. Nou wè jan pèp sa a vin pi plis pase moun peyi a. Koulye a atò, nou ta vle pou yo kite travay yo?
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Menm jou sa a, farawon an rele moun peyi Lejip ki te chèf kòve yo ansanm ak moun pèp Izrayèl ki te fòmann yo, li ba yo lòd sa a:
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
-Pa janm bay moun sa yo pay ankò pou yo fè brik, jan nou te konn fè l' la. Se yo menm ki pou al ranmase pay yo bezwen.
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 God.
Men, se pou yo founi menm valè brik yo te konn bay anvan an, san manke yonn. Se yon bann parese yo ye. Se poutèt sa y'ap kriye, y'ap di: O wi, ann al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Bondye nou an.
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
Fè yo travay pi rèd. Pa kite yo poze menm. Konsa yo p'ap gen tan pou yo koute tout radòt moun ap vin di yo.
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.
Chèf kòve yo ak fòmann yo vin di pèp la: -Men sa farawon an voye di nou: Li p'ap ban nou pay ankò.
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
Se nou menm ki pou al ranmase pay kote nou ka jwenn. Men, se toujou menm valè brik la pou nou bay.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Se konsa, pèp la gaye toupatou nan peyi Lejip ap chache zèb pou fè pay.
13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
Chèf kòve yo te dèyè yo tout tan, yo t'ap di yo: -Se pou nou fè menm valè brik chak jou menm jan ak lè yo te konn ban nou pay la.
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?
Chèf kòve farawon yo te mete kèk moun pèp Izrayèl pou sèvi fòmann. Ata fòmann sa yo te anba makak tou. Chèf kòve yo t'ap mande yo: -Poukisa ni ayè ni jòdi a, nou pa t' bay menm valè brik nou te konn fè anvan an?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Lè sa a, fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo t al plenyen bay farawon an. Yo di l': -Monwa, poukisa ou fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo sa?
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.
Yo pa ban nou pay ankò. Atousa, se tout tan y'ap mande nou pou nou fè brik. Lèfini, yo mete nou anba makak. Men, se moun pa ou yo ki antò wi, monwa.
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to Yhwh.
Farawon an reponn yo: -Se yon bann parese nou ye. Se poutèt sa n'ap di: O wi, kite n al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Seyè a.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
Al nan pye travay nou, tande! Yo p'ap ban nou pay ankò. Degaje nou bay menm kantite brik la.
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.
Fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin wè yo te nan yon move sitiyasyon lè yo mande yo pou yo fè menm valè brik yo te konn fè a chak jou, san manke yonn.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
Antan y'ap soti kay farawon an, yo kontre Moyiz ak Arawon ki t'ap tann yo.
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.
Yo di yo: -Se pou Seyè a wè sa nou fè la a. Se pou l' pini nou. Paske se nou menm ki lakòz ni farawon an ni moun k'ap sèvi l' yo pa vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Nou mete yon nepe nan men yo pou yo fini ak pèp la.
22 And Moses returned unto Yhwh, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
Lè sa a, Moyiz tounen al jwenn Seyè a ankò, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa w'ap maltrete pèp la konsa? Poukisa ou te voye m'?
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.
Depi menm lè mwen t al bò kote farawon an pou m' pale avè l' pou ou a, se maltrete l'ap maltrete pèp ou a. Epi ou pa fè anyen pou delivre pèp la.
