Exodus 5
1 And after that Moses and Aaron went in, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus hath said the Everlasting One, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
To pacoengah Mosi hoi Aaron loe Faro khaeah caeh hoi moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Praezaek ah kai khae poihsak o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa hoi.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Everlasting, whose voice I am to obey, to let Israel go? I know not the Everlasting, nor will I let Israel go.
Faro mah, Angraeng ih lok to ka tahngaih moe, Israel kaminawk ka prawt hanah to Angraeng loe mi aa? Angraeng to ka panoek ai, Israel kaminawk doeh ka prawt mak ai, tiah a naa.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, a three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God; lest he fall upon us with the pestilence, or with the sword.
To naah nihnik mah, Hebru kaminawk ih Sithaw mah kaihnik hae tongh boeh; ni thumto caehhaih praezaek ah, kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih sak hanah, na caeh o sak ah; to tih ai nahaeloe kaicae nuiah nathaih maw, to ai boeh loe sumsen hoiah maw na thuitaek moeng tih, tiah a naa hoi.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, hinder the people from their works? get you unto your own affairs.
Toe Izip siangpahrang mah nihnik khaeah, Tih hanah hae kaminawk toksak nam pra hoi sak loe? Na sak hoi ih tok to mah sah hoih, tiah a naa.
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye disturb them in the pursuit of their labors.
To pacoengah Faro mah, Khenah, prae thungah kami paroeai pop o, toe nihcae khaeah toksak han ai ah na thuih pae hoiah, tiah a naa.
6 And Pharaoh commanded on the same day the taskmasters of the people, and its officers, saying,
To na niah Faro mah tamna khenzawn kaminawk hoi ukkungnawk khaeah, hae tiah lokthuih pae;
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make the bricks, as yesterday and the day before; they themselves shall go and gather themselves straw.
amlai long to hmaiqoeng hanah, canghni ah na paek o ih baktiah, kaminawk hanah caphaeh to paek o hma lai ah; angmacae koehah caphaeh to akhuih hanah caeh o nasoe.
8 And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall impose upon them, ye shall not diminish aught thereof; for they are idle: therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Toe amlai long hmaiqoenghaih tok loe canghni ah sak ih baktih toengah nihcae to sahsak ah; tamsi o sak hmah; nihcae loe thaset o pongah ni, Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, na caehsak ah, tiah a hang o.
9 Let the work be made to lie heavily upon the men, that they may have enough to do therein; and that they may not pay attention to false words.
Toksak panki o moe, amsawn loknawk to a tang o han ai ah, nongpanawk to tok karai paek ah, tiah a naa.
10 And the taskmasters of the people and its officers went out, and they said to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you any straw.
To naah tamna khenzawn kaminawk hoi ukkungnawk loe caeh o moe, kaminawk khaeah, Faro mah, nangcae caphaeh paek han ai ah thuih boeh.
11 Go ye, get yourselves straw from wherever ye can find it; yet not the least shall be taken off from your work.
Caeh oh loe nangmacae koehah caphaeh to pakrong oh; toe toksak tamsi o sak hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
12 And the people scattered themselves abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
To pongah kaminawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o moe, caphaeh zuengah anghnoeng to pakrong hanah, Izip prae thung boih ah caeh o.
13 And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfill your works, every day its due portion, just as when there was straw.
Tamna khenzawn kaminawk mah nihcae to mongh aep aep; caphaeh oh nathuem ah ni thokkruek na sak o ih tok baktih toengah, pacoeng hanah tok to sah oh, tiah a naa.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them, were beaten, as these said, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick as heretofore, both yesterday and today?
Faro ih tamna khenzawn kaminawk mah, zaehoikung ah suek ih Israel kaminawk khaeah, Tipongah cangduem hoi vaihni na sak o ih, amlai long loe canghni ah na sak o ih zetto pha ai loe? tiah a naa o.
15 And the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
To naah Israel zaehoikungnawk loe Faro khaeah caeh o moe, Tipongah na tamnanawk hae tih khoek to nang pacaekthlaek loe?
16 Straw is not given unto thy servants, and, Make bricks, say they to us: and, behold, thy servants are beaten, and thy people are treated as sinners.
Na tamnanawk hanah caphaeh paek ai to mah, khenah, ukkungnawk loe kaicae khaeah amlai long sak hanah lok ang thuih o moe, na tamnanawk to boh o; zaehaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah ni oh, tiah a naa o.
17 But he said, Idle are ye, idle; therefore say ye, Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
Toe Faro mah, Tha na set o, tha na set o! To pongah ni, Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah na caehsak ah, tiah na thuih o.
18 And now go, work, and straw shall not be given you; yet the required number of bricks shall ye deliver.
To pongah vaihi caeh oh loe, tok to sah oh; caphaeh to kang paek o mak ai boeh; toe amlai long loe na sak o zetto sah o toengtoeng ah, tiah a naa.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw themselves in the evil necessity to say, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, every day of its task.
Nito thung sak ih amlai long to tamsi o sak hmah, tiah thuih ih lok to Israel kaminawk mah thaih o naah, raihaih a tongh o boeh, tiah panoek o.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, standing in their way, as they came forth from Pharaoh.
Faro khae hoi amlaem o naah, loklam ah nihcae tongh han kazing, Mosi hoi Aaron to a hnuk o;
21 And they said unto them, May the Lord look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
nihnik khaeah, Angraeng mah nang hnik to khen nasoe loe, lokcaek nasoe; Faro hoi anih ih toksah tamnanawk mah kaicae hae panuet moe, kaicae hae sumsen hoi hum hanah, na sak hoi boeh, tiah a naa o.
22 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou let so much evil come upon this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
Mosi loe Angraeng khaeah amlaem moe, Angraeng, tipongah hae kaminawk khaeah raihaih na phaksak loe? Tih pongah kai nang patoeh loe?
23 For, since I came unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done more evil to this people; but thou hast in nowise delivered thy people.
Na hmin hoi Faro khaeah lokthuih han ka caeh kruek, anih mah hae kaminawk khaeah raihaih a phaksak; nangmah ih kaminawk hae na pahlong ai, tiah a naa.
