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.
Apre, Moïse avèk Aaron te vin di a Farawon: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ‘Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo kapab selebre yon fèt pou Mwen nan dezè a.’”
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.
Men Farawon te di: “Kilès SENYÈ a ye pou m ta obeyi vwa Li, pou kite Israël ale? Mwen pa konnen SENYÈ a, e anplis, mwen p ap kite Israël ale.”
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.
Yo te di: “Bondye a Ebre yo te reyini avèk nou. Souple, kite nou ale fè yon vwayaj twa jou nan dezè a pou nou kapab fè yon sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; otreman, Li va vin tonbe sou nou ak gwo maladi, oubyen nepe.”
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.
Men wa a Égypte la te di yo: “Moïse avèk Aaron, poukisa nou ap rale pèp la kite travay li? Ale retounen nan travay nou.”
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye disturb them in the pursuit of their labors.
Ankò Farawon te di: “Gade, pèp la nan peyi a koulye a vin anpil, e nou ta vle fè yo sispann fè travay yo!”
6 And Pharaoh commanded on the same day the taskmasters of the people, and its officers, saying,
Alò menm jou a, Farawon te kòmande chèf kòve ki te sou pèp la avèk fòmann pa yo. Li te di yo:
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.
“Nou p ap bay pèp la pay ankò pou fè brik jan nou te konn fè a. Kite yo ale ranmase pay pou kont yo.
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.
“Menm fòs brik yo te konn fè avan an, fòk nou egzije yo fè l. Nou pa pou redwi li menm. Paske yo se parese! Se pou sa y ap kriye a: ‘Kite nou ale fè sakrifis a Bondye nou an.’
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.
Kite travay la vin pi lou pou mesye yo. Kite yo travay pou yo pa swiv fo pawòl sa yo ankò.”
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.
Konsa, chèf kòve a pèp yo avèk fòmann pa yo te ale deyò pou te pale avèk pèp la. Li te di: “Konsa pale Farawon: ‘Mwen p ap bannou okenn pay.
11 Go ye, get yourselves straw from wherever ye can find it; yet not the least shall be taken off from your work.
Nou menm, ale chache pay nou pou kont nou nenpòt kote nou kab jwenn nan, men pou fòs travay nou oblije fè a, li p ap redwi.’”
12 And the people scattered themselves abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Konsa, pèp la te gaye nan tout peyi Égypte la pou ranmase tij sereyal pou sèvi kòm pay.
13 And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfill your works, every day its due portion, just as when there was straw.
Chèf Kòve yo te peze yo rèd. Yo te di: “Konplete menm fòs travay jounen ke nou te bannou an, menm jan ke lè nou te gen pay la.”
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?
Anplis de sa, fòmann yo, fis Israël yo, ke chèf kòve Farawon yo te mete sou yo a, te pran kou. Konsa yo te mande yo: “Poukisa nou pa t konplete sa ke nou te gen pou fè a, ni ayè, ni jodi a nan fè brik yo menm jan tankou avan an?”
15 And the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Epi fòmann sou fis Israël yo te vin kriye devan Farawon. Yo te di: “Poukisa ou aji konsa avèk sèvitè ou yo?
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.
Yo pa bay pay a sèvitè yo, men yo kontinye di nou: ‘fè brik!’ E gade byen, sèvitè ou yo pran kou, men se fot pwòp pèp pa w la.”
17 But he said, Idle are ye, idle; therefore say ye, Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
Men li te di: “Nou se parese! Nou pa travay menm! Se pou sa nou di: ‘Kite nou ale fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a.’
18 And now go, work, and straw shall not be given you; yet the required number of bricks shall ye deliver.
Alò koulye a, al travay! Paske nou p ap resevwa pay, men fòk nou konplete fòs kantite brik ke nou gen pou fè yo.”
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.
Fòmann nan fis Israël yo te wè ke yo te gen gwo pwoblèm, paske li te di yo: “Nou pa pou redwi fòs kantite brik pa jou yo.”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, standing in their way, as they came forth from Pharaoh.
Lè yo te kite prezans Farawon, yo te rankontre Moïse avèk Aaron paske yo t ap tann yo.
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.
Yo te di yo: “Ke Bondye kapab gade sa nou fè a, e jije nou, paske nou te fè nou vin rayisab devan zye Farawon, e devan zye tout sèvitè li yo. Konsa nou mete yon nepe nan men yo pou yo kab touye nou.”
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?
Alò, Moïse te retounen vè SENYÈ a, e te di: “O SENYÈ, poukisa ou pote mal a pèp sa a? Poukisa menm ou te voye mwen an?
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.
Depi mwen te vin kote Farawon pou pale nan non Ou a, li te fè mechanste a pèp sila a. Ni Ou pa t delivre pèp Ou a ditou.”
