< 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”;
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin’ i Farao ka niteny taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Alefaso ny oloko mba hanao andro firavoravoana ho Ahy any an-efitra.
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.”
Fa hoy Farao: Iza moa Jehovah, no hekeko teny handefasako ny Isiraely? tsy fantatro izay Jehovah, ka tsy halefako ny Isiraely.
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.”
Ary hoy izy roa lahy: Andriamanitry ny Hebreo efa nihaona taminay; koa trarantitra ianao, aoka handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; fandrao Izy hamely anay amin’ ny areti-mandringana, na amin’ ny sabatra.
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.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta taminy: Nahoana ianareo, ry Mosesy sy Arona, no manaketraka ny olona amin’ ny asany? mandehana any amin’ ny fanompoanareo mafy.
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Ary hoy koa Farao: Indro, efa maro ankehitriny ny olona eto amin’ ny tany, ka ianareo mampitsahatra azy amin’ ny fanompoany mafy.
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Farao nandidy ny mpampiasa ny olona mbamin’ ny mpifehy azy ka nanao hoe:
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;
Aza omenareo mololo hanaovana biriky tahaka ny teo aloha intsony ny olona; fa izy ihany no aoka handeha hanangona mololo ho azy.
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;
Kanefa ny isan’ ny biriky izay fanaony teo aloha dia mbola hampanaovinareo azy ihany, fa aza ahenanareo; fa malaina izy, koa izany no itarainany hoe: Aoka izahay handeha hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ Andriamanitray.
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Hamafio ny fanompoan’ ny olona mba hifotorany amin’ izany, fa aza avela hihaino izay lainga foana izy.
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,
Dia nivoaka ny mpampiasa ny olona mbamin’ ny mpifehy azy ka niteny tamin’ ny olona nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Farao: Izaho tsy mba hanome mololo anareo intsony;
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
fa mandehana ianareo ka manangona mololo any amin’ izay hahitanareo, satria tsy hahena ny fanompoanareo na dia kely akory aza.
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Dia niely eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra ny olona mba hifako vodivary ho solon’ ny mololo.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Ary ny mpampiasa nandodona azy ka nanao hoe: Vitao ny asanareo, izay anjara-fanompoana isan’ andro, tahaka ny fony mbola nisy mololo ihany.
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?”
Ary ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay notendren’ ny mpampiasa avy amin’ i Farao mba hifehy azy, dia nokapohina ka nanontaniana hoe: Ahoana no tsy nahavitanareo ny anjaranareo tamin’ ny fanaovana ny biriky omaly sy androany, tahaka ny teo aloha?
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Dia nankao amin’ i Farao ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitaraina taminy hoe: Nahoana no manao toy izany amin’ ny mpanomponao ianao?
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.”
Tsy omena mololo tsinona izahay mpanomponao, nefa mbola asaina manao biriky ihany; ary, indreto, izahay mpanomponao no kapohina, ka manota ny vahoakanao.
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Fa hoy Farao: Malaina dia malaina ianareo, ka izany no anaovanareo hoe: Aoka handeha izahay hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Ary ankehitriny, mandehana, ataovy izay fanompoanareo, fa tsy hisy mololo homena anareo; nefa ny anjara-birikinareo dia mbola hatolotrareo ihany.
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.”
Ary hitan’ ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely fa efa azon-doza izy noho ny nanaovana hoe: Tsy hahenanareo ny isan’ ny birikinareo amin’ ny anjara-fanompoana isan’ andro.
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Ary izy ireo dia nihaona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona, izay nijanona niandry azy, raha avy tany amin’ i Farao izy;
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.”
dia hoy izy tamin’ izy roa lahy: Jehovah anie hijery sy hitsara anareo, satria efa nataonareo mangidy hoditra eo anatrehan’ i Farao sy eo anatrehan’ ny mpanompony izahay, ka nasianareo sabatra eo an-tànany hamonoany anay.
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?
Ary Mosesy niverina ho any amin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, nahoana no nahatonga loza tamin’ ity firenena ity Hianao? nahoana re no naniraka ahy Hianao?
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.”
Fa hatrizay nankanesako tao amin’ i Farao mba hiteny amin’ ny anaranao izay, dia nahatonga loza tamin’ ity firenena ity izy; nefa tsy namonjy ny olonao akory Hianao.
