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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Mose àti Aaroni tọ Farao lọ, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ, ‘Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó lè ṣe àjọ mi ní ijù.’”
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.
Farao dáhùn wí pé, “Ta ni Olúwa, tí èmi yóò fi gbọ́rọ̀ sí i lẹ́nu, tí èmi yóò fi jẹ́ kí Israẹli ó lọ? Èmi kò mọ Olúwa, èmi kò sì ní jẹ́ kí Israẹli ó lọ.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni wọ́n wí pé, “Ọlọ́run àwọn Heberu tí pàdé wa. Ní ìsinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí a lọ ní ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta sínú aginjù láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, kí Ó má ba á fi àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tàbí idà bá wa jà.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Ejibiti sọ wí pé, “Mose àti Aaroni, èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi mú àwọn ènìyàn kúrò lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ wọn? Ẹ padà sẹ́nu iṣẹ́ yín.”
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye disturb them in the pursuit of their labors.
Nígbà náà ni Farao sọ pé, “Ẹ wò ó àwọn ènìyàn náà ti pọ̀ sí ì nílẹ̀ yìí ní ìsinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin sì ń dá wọn dúró láti máa bá iṣẹ́ lọ.”
6 And Pharaoh commanded on the same day the taskmasters of the people, and its officers, saying,
Ní ọjọ́ yìí kan náà ni Farao pàṣẹ fún àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ àti àwọn ti ń ṣe alábojútó iṣẹ́ lórí àwọn ènìyàn.
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.
“Ẹ̀yin kò ní láti pèsè koríko gbígbẹ fún bíríkì sísun mọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí; ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa wá koríko gbígbẹ fún ara wọn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn ó ṣe iye bíríkì kan náà bí ì ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, kí ẹ má ṣe dín iye rẹ̀ kú. Ọ̀lẹ ni wọ́n, ìwà ọ̀lẹ yìí náà ló mú wọn pariwo pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ, kí a sì rú ẹbọ sí Ọlọ́run wa.’
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.
Ẹ mú iṣẹ́ náà le fún wọn, kí wọn bá a le è tẹramọ́ iṣẹ́ wọn, ẹ má fi ààyè gba irọ́ wọn.”
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.
Ní ìgbà náà ni àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ àti àwọn tí ń ṣe alábojútó iṣẹ́ jáde tọ̀ wọ́n lọ láti sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Farao sọ, ‘Èmi kò ní fún un yín ni koríko gbígbẹ mọ́.
11 Go ye, get yourselves straw from wherever ye can find it; yet not the least shall be taken off from your work.
Ẹ lọ wá koríko gbígbẹ ni ibi tí ẹ bá ti lè rí i, ṣùgbọ́n iṣẹ́ yín kí yóò dínkù.’”
12 And the people scattered themselves abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Gbogbo wọn sí fọ́n káàkiri ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti láti sa ìdì koríko tí wọn yóò lò bí ì koríko gbígbẹ fún sísun bíríkì.
13 And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfill your works, every day its due portion, just as when there was straw.
Àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ sì ń ni wọ́n lára, wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹ parí iṣẹ́ tí ẹ ni láti ṣe fún ọjọ́ kan bí ìgbà ti a ń fún un yin ní koríko gbígbẹ.”
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?
Àwọn alábojútó iṣẹ́ tí àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ Farao yàn lára ọmọ Israẹli ni wọn ń lù, tí wọn sì ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò ṣe iye bíríkì ti ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ní àná ní òní bí i tí àtẹ̀yìnwá?”
15 And the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Nígbà náà ni àwọn alábojútó iṣẹ́ tí a yàn lára àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tọ Farao lọ láti lọ bẹ̀bẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ọwọ́ líle mú àwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ báyìí?
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.
Wọn kò fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni koríko gbígbẹ, síbẹ̀ wọn sọ fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ ṣe bíríkì!’ Wọ́n na àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀bi náà wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.”
17 But he said, Idle are ye, idle; therefore say ye, Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
Farao sí dáhùn wí pé, “Ọ̀lẹ ni yín, ọ̀lẹ! Èyí ni ó mú kí ẹ̀yin máa sọ ní ìgbà gbogbo pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ, kí a sì rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.’
18 And now go, work, and straw shall not be given you; yet the required number of bricks shall ye deliver.
Nísinsin yìí ẹ padà lọ sí ẹnu iṣẹ́ yín, a kò ní fún un yín ni koríko gbígbẹ, síbẹ̀ ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe iye bíríkì tí ó yẹ kí ẹ ṣe.”
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó jẹ́ alábojútó iṣẹ́ mọ̀ dájú wí pé àwọn ti wà nínú wàhálà ńlá ní ìgbà tí a sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ kò ní láti dín iye bíríkì tí ẹ ń ṣe ni ojoojúmọ́ kù.”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, standing in their way, as they came forth from Pharaoh.
Ní ìgbà tí wọ́n kúrò ni ọ̀dọ̀ Farao wọ́n rí Mose àti Aaroni tí ó dúró láti pàdé wọn.
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.
Wọn sì wí pé, “Kí Olúwa kí ó wò yín, kí ó sì ṣe ìdájọ́! Ẹ̀yin ti mú wa dàbí òórùn búburú fún Farao àti àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ẹ sì ti fún wọn ni idà láti fi pa wá.”
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?
Mose padà tọ Olúwa lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi mú ìyọnu wá sí orí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí? Ṣe torí èyí ni ìwọ fi rán mi?
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.
Láti ìgbà ti mo ti tọ Farao lọ láti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ ni orúkọ rẹ ni ó ti mú ìyọnu wá sí orí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò sì gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ sílẹ̀ rárá.”
