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”;
Na Moses ac Aaron som nu yurin tokosra Egypt ac fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘Fuhlela mwet luk in som, tuh elos fah ku in oru sie kufwa in akfulatyeyu yen mwesis.’”
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.”
Tokosra el kouyak ac fahk, “Su LEUM GOD? Efu ku ngan lohngol ac fuhlela mwet Israel in som? Nga tia etu ke LEUM GOD, ac nga fah tia lela mwet Israel in som.”
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.”
Moses ac Aaron topkol, “God lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut fin tia oru, El ac fah unikuti ke mas ku ke mweun.”
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.”
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron, “Efu komtal ku nunku in tulokinya orekma lun mwet uh? Mwet kohs ingan in folokla orekma!
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Kowos arulana pus liki mwet Egypt uh, a inge kowos lungse mongla, tia orekma!”
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Ke len sacna, tokosra el sapkin mwet Egypt su liyaung mwet kohs, ac mwet Israel su mwet kol lalos
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;
in tia sifil sang mah pao nu sin mwet Israel in orek brick kac, a elos in sifacna som suk.
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;
Tusruktu elos in oru na pisen brick ma elos muta oru meet ah — in tia pueni. El fahk, “Srikla orekma itukyang nu selos an, pa sis elos kwafe na sik nga in fuhlelosla in som orek kisa nu sin God lalos uh!
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Sang orekma lalos an in upa liki meet ah, ac oru elos in kafofo, tuh in wangin pacl lalos in muta porongo kas kikiap inge.”
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,
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs ac mwet Israel su kol orekma lalos elos som ac fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Tokosra el fahk mu el ac tia sifilpa supu mah pao nu suwos.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
El mu kowos in sifacna som eis yen na kowos ku in konauk we, tusruk pisen brick kowos ac oru an in pisa se na meet ah.”
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Ouinge mwet uh fahsrelik yen nukewa fin acn Egypt sukok mah pao nu ke brick.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos srike na in kalyaelos in oru na pisen brick sac, oana ke elos tuh orala ke pacl ma itukyang mah pao nu selos.
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?”
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos sringil mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel, su elos srisrngiya in liyaung orekma uh. Elos kouyak ac siyuk, “Efu komtal ku tia oru na pisen brick se ma komtal oru meet ah?”
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Na mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Efu tokosra ku oru ange nu sesr?
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.”
Tia ituku mah pao nu sesr, a srakna sapkinyuk kut in orek brick! Ac inge sringsring kut. Ma koluk inge ma lun mwet lom uh.”
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Tokosra el topuk, “Komtal alsrangesr ac tia lungse orekma, pa pwanang komtal siyuk ngan lela nu sumtal in som ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Folokla orekma! Wangin mah pao ac itukot nu sumtal, tuh kowos in oru na pisen brick sac.”
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.”
Mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel akilenak lah ac arulana koluk nu selos, ke fwackyang tari elos in oru na pisen brick se ke len nukewa oana ke elos muta oru meet ah.
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Ke elos illa, elos sonol Moses ac Aaron su tu soanelos.
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.”
Na elos fahk nu seltal, “LEUM GOD El liye ma komtal oru nu sesr inge ac El ac fah kai komtal mweyen ke sripomtal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal inge srungakut. Komtal sang in oasr sripe elos in unikuti.”
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?
Na Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O Leum, efu kom ku oru koluk mwet lom? Efu kom ku supweyume nu inge?
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.”
Ke na pacl se nga mutawauk fahsr nu yorol tokosra in kaskas nu sel Inem, el oru arulana koluk nu selos. Ac wanginna ma kom oru in kasrelos!”
