< 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”;
Sima na yango, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe balobaki: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tika bato na Ngai kokende kosala feti na esobe mpo na lokumu na Ngai. »
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.”
Faraon azongisaki: — Ye Yawe nde nani mpo ete ngai natosa ye mpe natika Isalaele kokende? Nayebi ye te mpe nakotika te ete Isalaele akende.
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.”
Balobaki: — Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre akutanaki na biso. Sik’oyo, tika biso totambola mikolo misato kati na esobe mpo ete tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mbeka; noki te akoboma biso na bokono to na mopanga.
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.”
Kasi mokonzi ya Ejipito alobaki: — Moyize mpe Aron, mpo na nini bozali kopekisa bato kosala misala na bango? Bozonga na mosala na bino!
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Faraon abakisaki lisusu: — Botala! Bato oyo bakomi ebele kati na mokili, bongo bino bozali kopekisa bango kosala mosala!
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Kaka na mokolo wana, Faraon apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu mpe na bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele:
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;
— Bokopesa lisusu matiti te epai ya bato oyo mpo na kosala babiliki ndenge bozalaki kopesa bango liboso; botika bango moko bakende kolokota matiti na bango.
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;
Kasi botinda bango kosala kaka motango ya babiliki oyo basalaka wuta kala, bokitisa motango na yango te. Bazali bagoyigoyi, yango wana bazali koganga: « Tika biso tokende kobonzela Nzambe na biso mbeka! »
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Bokomisa makasi misala na bango mpo ete bakoma na mosala ebele mpe batia matoyi te na makambo ya lokuta.
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,
Bongo bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu mpe bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele babimaki mpe balobaki na bato: — Tala makambo oyo Faraon alobi: « Nakopesa bino lisusu matiti te.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
Bokende kozwa matiti bino moko na esika oyo bokoki komona yango! Kasi motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino ekokita ata moke te. »
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Boye bana ya Isalaele bapanzanaki na Ejipito mobimba mpo na kolokota matiti ya kotumba na yango babiliki.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Bakambi oyo balandelaka misala makasi ya bawumbu bazalaki kotindika bango na makasi mpe koloba: — Bokokisa motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino mpo na mokolo na mokolo lokola na tango oyo bazalaki kopesa bino matiti!
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?”
Bakambi oyo Faraon aponaki mpo na kolandela misala makasi ya bawumbu babetaki bakapita ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bango batiaki mpe batunaki bango: — Mpo na nini lobi oyo eleki mpe lelo bokokisi te motango ya babiliki oyo bosalaka wuta kala?
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Bakengeli ya bana ya Isalaele bakendeki kolela epai ya Faraon: — Mpo na nini ozali kosala basali na yo boye?
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.”
Bazali kopesa lisusu te matiti epai ya basali na yo, nzokande bazali koloba na biso: « Bosala babiliki! » Sik’oyo tala, basali na yo bazali kobetama, kasi mbeba ezali epai ya bato na yo moko.
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Faraon alobaki: — Bagoyigoyi! Bozali penza bagoyigoyi! Yango wana bozali koloba: « Tika biso tokende kobonzela Yawe mbeka. »
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Sik’oyo, bozonga na mosala! Bakopesa bino lisusu matiti te, kasi bokosala kaka motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino.
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.”
Bakengeli ya bana ya Isalaele bamonaki ete bakomi na pasi koleka tango bayebisaki bango: « Motango ya babiliki oyo bakatela bino mpo na mokolo na mokolo ekokita te. »
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Tango batikaki Faraon, batombokelaki Moyize mpe Aron oyo bazalaki kozela bango.
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.”
Balobaki: — Tika ete Yawe atala bino mpe asambisa bino! Bokomisi biso eloko ya nkele liboso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye mpe botie mopanga na maboko na bango mpo ete baboma biso!
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?
Boye Moyize abalukaki epai na Yawe mpe abondelaki: — Nkolo! Mpo na nini ozali komemela bato oyo pasi? Boni, ezali mpo na yango nde otindaki ngai?
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.”
Wuta tango nakendeki koloba na Faraon na Kombo na Yo, Faraon akomi konyokola bato oyo, bongo Yo ozali kosala ata eloko moke te mpo na kokangola bango!
