Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
A muri iho, ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka korero ki a Parao, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te taka hakari ki ahau i te koraha.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
Na ka mea a Parao, Ko wai a Ihowa, kia rongo ahau ki tona reo, kia tukua a Iharaira? Kahore ahau e mohio ki a Ihowa, e kore hoki e tukua atu e ahau a Iharaira.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray you, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
A ka mea raua, Kua tutaki te Atua o nga Hiperu ki a matou: kia haere ra matou, kia toru nga ra ki te ara i te koraha, ka mea patunga tapu ai matou ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua; kei torere mai ia ki a matou i te mate uruta ranei, i te hoari ranei.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do all of you, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
Na ka mea te kingi o Ihipa ki a raua, He aha korua, e Mohi korua ko Arona, i whakaware ai i te iwi ki a ratou mahi? haere ki a koutou kawenga.
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and all of you make them rest from their burdens.
I mea ano a Parao, Nana, ka tini nei nga tangata o te whenua, na korua hoki ratou i noho ai i a ratou kawenga.
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Na ka ako a Parao i taua ra ki nga kaiakiaki o te iwi, ki o ratou rangatira, ka mea,
7 All of you shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as in time past: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Kaua e hoatu he takakau ki te iwi a muri ake nei, hei hanga pereki, pera i o mua ra: me haere ratou ki te kohikohi takakau ma ratou.
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make in time past, all of you shall lay upon them; all of you shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Otiia, whakaritea ki a ratou kia rite tonu nga pereki te maha ki era i hanga e ratou i mua; kaua e whakahokia iho te maha; he mangere hoki ratou; koia ratou i karanga ai, i mea ai, Kia haere matou ki te mea patunga tapu ki to matou Atua.
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
Whakanuia te mahi ma nga tangata ra, a ko tena hei mahi ma ratou; kaua hoki ratou e whakarongo ki nga kupu horihori.
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
Na ka haere nga kaiakiaki o te iwi, me o ratou rangatira, ka korero ki te iwi, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Parao, e kore e hoatu e ahau he takakau ki a koutou.
11 Go all of you, get you straw where all of you can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
Haere ki te kohikohi takakau ma koutou i te wahi e kitea ai e koutou: otiia, kaua e whakahokia iho tetahi wahi o ta koutou e mahi ai.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Na ka marara noa atu te iwi ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, ki te kohikohi putake witi hei takakau.
13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
A ka whakatatutatu nga kaiakiaki, ka mea, Whakaotia a koutou mahi, to tenei rangi, to tenei rangi, kia rite ki o te wa i whai takakau ai.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have all of you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as in time past?
Na ka whiua nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira i whakaritea mo ratou e nga kaiakiaki a Parao, ka mea ratou, He aha te whakaotia ai inanahi, inaianei, a koutou pereki i whakaritea ki a koutou, te pera ai me o mua ra?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore deal you thus with your servants?
Na ka haere nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira, me te tangi ano, ki a Parao, ka mea, He aha koe i penei ai ki au pononga?
16 There is no straw given unto your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.
Kahore he takakau i homai ki au pononga, a e mea ana ratou ki a matou, Hanga he pereki: na ka whiua au pononga; no au tangata ia te he.
17 But he said, All of you are idle, all of you are idle: therefore all of you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
Na ka mea ia, He mangere koutou, he mangere; na reira koutou ka mea ai, Tukua matou kia haere ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall all of you deliver the tale of bricks.
Na, haere, e mahi; e kore hoki e hoatu he takakau ki a koutou; otiia me homai ano nga pereki i whakaritea ra.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, All of you shall not diminish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
Na, ka kite nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira i te kino mo ratou, i te kianga ra, Kaua e whakaokuokutia iho a koutou pereki, hei mahinga ma koutou i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
A ka tutaki ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, e tu mai ana i mua i a ratou, i to ratou haerenga mai i a Parao:
21 And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because all of you 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.
A ka mea ki a raua, Ma Ihowa e titiro ki a korua, e whakawa; na korua hoki matou i piro whakarihariha ai ki te aroaro o Parao, ki te aroaro hoki o ana pononga, na korua i hoatu he hoari ki o ratou ringa hei patu i a matou.
22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore have you so evil pleaded this people? why is it that you have sent me?
Na ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowa, a ka mea, E te Ariki, he aha koe i mahi he ai ki tenei iwi? he aha koe i unga ai i ahau?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.
No toku haerenga atu hoki ki a Parao ki te korero i runga i tou ingoa, i kino ai ia ki tenei iwi; kahore ano hoki koe kia whakaora noa i tau iwi, kahore rawa.
