Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron have entered, and they say to Pharaoh, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Send My people away, and they keep a celebration for Me in the wilderness”;
Thuutha-inĩ Musa na Harũni nĩmathiire kũrĩ Firaũni, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, oigĩte ũũ: ‘Reke andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makagĩe na gĩathĩ gĩakwa werũ-inĩ.’”
2 and Pharaoh says, “Who [is] YHWH, that I listen to His voice to send Israel away? I have not known YHWH, and I also do not send Israel away.”
Nake Firaũni akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe ũ, atĩ ndĩmwathĩkĩre na ndekererie andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ? Niĩ ndiũĩ Jehova na ndikũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ.”
3 And they say, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.”
Ningĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngai wa Ahibirania nĩatwarĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona, kwaga ũguo no atũrehithĩrie mĩthiro kana atũniine na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
4 And the king of Egypt says to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you free the people from its works? Go to your burdens.”
No mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Musa na Harũni, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mũrute andũ wĩra-inĩ wao? Cookai wĩra-inĩ wanyu!”
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Nake Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rorai, andũ a bũrũri rĩu nĩmaingĩhĩte, na inyuĩ nĩmũragiria marute wĩra.”
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Mũthenya o ũcio Firaũni agĩatha arũgamĩrĩri a ngombo o na nyabaara cia andũ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
7 “You do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as before—they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
“Mũtigacooke kũhe andũ a Isiraeli nyeki ya gũthondeka maturubarĩ; nĩmathiĩ magecarĩrie nyeki o ene.
8 and you put on them the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making before, you do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
No mũmeere atĩ no nginya mathondeke maturubarĩ mũigana o ta wa mbere; mũtikamanyiihĩrie gĩthimo. Nĩ igũũta; nĩkĩo mararĩra makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũrekwo tũthiĩ tũkarutĩre Ngai witũ igongona.’
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Maritũhĩriei wĩra nĩgeetha makoragwo makĩruta wĩra hĩndĩ ciothe, na mũtige gũthikĩrĩria ũhoro wa maheeni.”
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh: I do not give you straw,
Nao arũgamĩrĩri a ngombo na nyabaara cia andũ magĩthiĩ makĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Firaũni ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ndigũcooka kũmũhe nyeki rĩngĩ.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
Thiĩi mũgecarĩrie nyeki yanyu kũrĩa guothe mũrĩmĩona, no wĩra wanyu ndũkũnyihanyiihio o na hanini.’”
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩhurunjũkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri guothe kũngania makoni ma ngano mamatũmĩre ta nyeki.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Arũgamĩrĩri a ngombo makĩmahinyĩrĩria mũno, makameeraga atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩkiai wĩra ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo wa o mũthenya, o ta ũrĩa mwekaga rĩrĩa mwaheagwo nyeki.”
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, “Why have you not completed your portion in making brick as before, both yesterday and today?”
Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ nyabaara arĩa maathuurĩtwo nĩ anene a ngombo a Firaũni magakĩhũũragwo, makoorio atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiririe mũhingie mũigana wa maturubarĩ ma ira kana ma ũmũthĩ, ta ũrĩa mũrekaga mbere?”
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ nyabaara magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni kũmũthaitha, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ: “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wĩke ndungata ciaku maũndũ maya?
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and behold, your servants are struck—and your people have sinned.”
Ndungata ciaku itiraheo nyeki, na no tũrerwo, ‘Thondekai maturubarĩ!’ Ndungata ciaku nĩirahũũrwo, no andũ aku nĩo marĩ na mahĩtia.”
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Nake Firaũni agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Igũũta ici! Inyuĩ mũrĩ igũũta! Nĩkĩo mũraikara mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũrekwo tũkarutĩre Jehova igongona.’
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Cookai wĩra-inĩ. Mũtikũheo nyeki, na no nginya mũthondeke mũigana wa maturubarĩ marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo.”
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, “You do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.”
Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ nyabaara makĩmenya atĩ maarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ rĩrĩa meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũtikũnyiihĩrio mũigana wa maturubarĩ marĩa mwagĩrĩirwo gũthondeka o mũthenya.”
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Rĩrĩa moimire harĩ Firaũni-rĩ, magĩkora Musa na Harũni arĩa maametereire,
21 and say to them, “YHWH look on you, and judge, because you have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants—to give a sword into their hand to slay us.”
nao anyabara acio makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aromuona na amũtuĩre ciira! Mũtũmĩte tũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩnungu kũrĩ Firaũni na anene ake, na mũkamane rũhiũ rwa njora moko-inĩ mao matũũrage.”
22 And Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Lord, why have You done evil to this people? Why [is] this [that] You have sent me?
Musa agĩcooka kũrĩ, Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũrehithĩrie andũ aya thĩĩna? Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩatũmire ũndũme?
23 And since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
Kuuma rĩrĩa ndaathiire kũrĩ Firaũni kũmwarĩria thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩareheire andũ aya thĩĩna, nawe ũkaaga gũteithũra andũ aku o na hanini.”
