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”;
Shure kwaizvozvo Mozisi naAroni vakaenda kuna Faro vakati, “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: ‘Rega vanhu vangu vaende, kuti vanondiitira mutambo kurenje.’”
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.”
Faro akati, “Jehovha ndianiko, kuti ndigomuteerera uye ndigorega vaIsraeri vachienda? Handimuzivi Jehovha iyeye uye handidi kurega vaIsraeri vachienda.”
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.”
Ipapo vakati, “Mwari wavaHebheru akasangana nesu. Zvino tiregei tifambe rwendo rwamazuva matatu kurenje kuti tinobayira zvipiriso kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuti arege kutirova namatambudziko kana nomunondo.”
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.”
Asi mambo weIjipiti akati, “Mozisi naAroni, munobvisireiko vanhu pabasa ravo? Dzokerai kubasa renyu!”
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Ipapo Faro akati, “Tarirai, vanhu vawanda zvino munyika, uye muri kuvakonesa kushanda.”
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Musi mumwe chetewo Faro akarayira vatariri vebasa navakuru vakuru vavanhu achiti,
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;
“Imi hamuchazovigiri vanhu uswa hwokuita zvidhina; varegei vandozviunganidzira uswa pachavo.
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;
Asi vanofanira kuita zvidhina zvakaenzana pakuwanda nezvavaisimboita kare; musazvitapudza. Isimbe; ndokusaka vachichema vachiti, ‘Tiregei tiende kundobayira kuna Mwari wedu.’
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Itai kuti basa rinyanye kuomera vanhu kuitira kuti varambe vachishanda uye varege kuteerera kunhema.”
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,
Ipapo vatariri vebasa navakuru vakuru vakabuda vakandoti kuvanhu, “Zvanzi naFaro, ‘Handichazokupaizve uswa.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
Endai mundozvitsvakira uswa kana kupi zvako kwamungahuwana, asi basa renyu haritapudzwi kana napaduku.’”
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Saka vanhu vakapararira muIjipiti yose kundounganidza mashanga kuti vaashandise pachinzvimbo chouswa.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Vatariri vebasa vakaramba vachivamanikidza vachiti, “Pedzai basa ramakatarirwa pazuva rimwe nerimwe, sezvamaiita pamaiwana uswa.”
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?”
Vakuru vakuru vavaIsraeri vakanga vagadzwa navatariri vebasa vaFaro vakarohwa uye vakabvunzwa kuti, “Seiko musina kupedza basa renyu rezvidhina zvanezuro nezvanhasi, sezvamaichiita kare pamaipuwa uswa.”
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Ipapo vakuru vakuru vavaIsraeri vakaenda nechichemo kuna Faro vakati, “Seiko muchibata varanda venyu nenzira yakadai?
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.”
Varanda venyu havapiwi uswa, asi tinonzi, ‘Itai zvidhina!’ Varanda venyu vari kurohwa, asi mhosva ndeyavanhu venyu.”
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Faro akati, “Simbe, ndizvo zvamuri imi, muri simbe! Ndokusaka muchingoramba muchiti, ‘Tiregei tindobayira kuna Jehovha.’
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Zvino chiendai kubasa. Hamuzombopiwi kana uswa, asi munofanira kuita basa renyu rezvidhina zvakakwana.”
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.”
Vakuru vakuru vavaIsraeri vakaona kuti vapinda mudambudziko pavakaudzwa kuti, “Hamufaniri kutapudza uwandu hwezvidhina zvamakatarirwa pazuva rimwe.”
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Pavakabva pana Faro, vakawana Mozisi naAroni vakavamirira,
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.”
uye vakati, “Jehovha ngaakutarirei uye akutongei! Matiita chinhu chinonhuhwa kuna Faro namachinda ake uye maisa munondo muruoko rwavo kuti vatiuraye.”
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?
Mozisi akadzokera kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, mauyisireiko dambudziko pamusoro pavanhu ava? Ndizvo zvamakanditumira here?
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.”
Kubva pandakaenda kuna Faro kuti ndinotaura muzita renyu, iye akauyisa dambudziko pamusoro pavanhu ava, uye imi hamuna kutongonunura vanhu venyu napaduku.”
