Exodus 5

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, "This is what the LORD, God of Israel, says, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'"

Hathnukkhu, Mosi hoi Aron ni Faro siangpahrang koe a kâen teh Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni ka taminaw teh kahrawng vah kai hane pawito hanlah patoun telah ati, atipouh.

2 Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go."

Faro siangpahrang ni hai BAWIPA lawk a ngâi teh Isarelnaw ka ceisak nahanlah hote Cathut teh apimaw. BAWIPA tie ka panuek hoeh. Isarelnaw ka cetsak mahoeh telah ati.

3 They said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword."

Ahnimouh roi ni hai Hebrunaw e Cathut teh kaimouh hoi kâhmo awh toe. Thingyeiyawn hnin thum lamcei koe, kaimae BAWIPA Cathut bawk nahan kâ na poe haw. Nahoeh pawiteh lacik, kâtheikârawngnae hoi maimouh na rek han telah atipouh.

4 The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens."

Izip siangpahrang ni hai Mosi hoi Aron, nangmouh roi ni hete taminaw bangkongmaw thaw na pakak roi. Thaw koe cet nateh thaw tawk awh, atipouh.

5 Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."

Hahoi, ram dawk hote taminaw moiapap awh. Thaw tawk hoeh hanlah nangmouh ni kâ na poe bo aw telah Faro siangpahrang ni ati.

6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

Hote hnin dawk, Faro ni thaw kakuennaw hoi kauknaw a kaw teh,

7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

Amhru sak nahane cakawng hmaloe e patetlah taminaw poe awh hanh. Ahnimouh ni cakawng hah amamouh hanlah tawng awh naseh.

8 The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

Amhru teh hmaloe e yit touh na saksak han. Payoun sak hanh. Ahnimouh teh a pangak awh dawkvah, cei awh vaiteh maimae Cathut thuengnae ka sak awh han telah ouk a hram awh.

9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, so they may labor at it and pay no attention to lying words."

Hatdawkvah, thaw nget ka tawn lah a tawk sak awh. Tami kahawihoehe lawk ngâi a hanh telah atipouh.

10 The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you straw.

Hahoi thaw kakuennaw ni a cei awh teh Faro siangpahrang ni cakawng na poe hoeh.

11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"

Cakawng hah hmu thainae hmuen koe tawng awh. Hateiteh, na tawk hane thaw teh payoun mahoeh telah kâlawk ao telah taminaw a thaisak awh.

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather dry stalks for straw.

Hatdawkvah, taminaw ni cakawng hanlah songnawng tawng hanelah Izip ram pueng dawk a kâkapek awh.

13 The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, "Fulfill your work quota, your daily amount, as when there was straw."

Kauknaw ni hai cakawng hmuthainae a tue nah hnintangkuem a tawk awh e patetlah cum totouh tawk awh telah ahnimouh a hroecoe awh.

14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"

Faro siangpahrang e kaukkungnaw ni a rawi e Isarel kahrawikungnaw hah nangmouh ni hmaloe na tawk a e patetlah bangkongmaw paduem hoi sahnin amhru sak e na cum sak awh hoeh telah atipouh teh a hemkhai awh.

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

Hat navah, Isarel kahrawikungnaw ni Faro siangpahrang koe a cei awh teh, bangkongmaw nang ni na sannaw hettelah na sak.

16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make bricks.' And look, your servants are beaten, but the fault is with your own people."

Na sannaw heh cakawng na poe hoeh. Kaukkungnaw ni hai amhru sak awh, telah ati awh teh kaimouh na hem awh. Na taminaw koe yonnae ao telah a hram awh.

17 But he said, "You are slackers! Slackers! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to God.'

Faro siangpahrang ni hai nangmouh teh na pangak awh. Na pangak awh. Hatdawkvah, kaimouh ka cei vaiteh BAWIPA thuengnae ka sak awh han telah nangmouh ni na ti awh.

18 Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks."

Hatdawkvah, atu cet awh nateh tawk awh. Cakawng na poe awh mahoeh. Hateiteh, amhru teh ama mingming lah pou na sak awh han telah atipouh.

19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, "You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks."

Hottelah, hnintangkuem a sak e amhru teh na payoun awh mahoeh telah kâ ao dawkvah Isarel kahrawikungnaw ni runae kâhmo awh toe tie a kâpanue awh.

20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

Faro siangpahrang koehoi a cei awh navah lam vah ahnimouh ka ring e Mosi hoi Aron a hmu awh navah,

21 and they said to them, "May God look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."

BAWIPA ni nangmouh roi na khet teh lawk na ceng naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Faro siangpahrang hoi a thaw katawknaw ni kaimouh na panuet sak han hoi thei sak hanlah nangmouh roi ni na sak toe telah atipouh awh.

22 Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?

Mosi ni hai BAWIPA koe a cei teh, Oe Cathut, nang ni hete taminaw hah bangkongmaw na rektap. Bangkong kai hah na patoun.

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all."

Kai ni nange kâ lahoi ka dei nahanlah Faro siangpahrang koe kâen hnin hoi kamtawng teh, ahni ni hete taminaw thoe a bo. Nang ni na taminaw khoeroe na rungngang hoeh telah atipouh.
