Exodus 5
1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, "This is what Jehovah, God of Israel, says, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'"
Potem sta Mojzes in Aron vstopila in faraonu rekla: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Pusti moje ljudstvo oditi, da bodo v divjini lahko imeli praznovanje meni.‹«
2 Pharaoh said, "Who is Jehovah, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go."
Faraon je rekel: »Kdo je Gospod, da bi ubogal njegov glas, da bi pustil Izraela oditi? Ne poznam Gospoda niti Izraelu ne bom pustil oditi.«
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."
Rekel je: »Bog Hebrejcev se je srečal z nami. Pusti nas oditi, prosimo te, tri dni potovanja v puščavo in žrtvujemo Gospodu, našemu Bogu, da on ne pade na nas s kužno boleznijo ali z mečem.«
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."
Egiptovski kralj pa jima je rekel: »Zakaj vidva, Mojzes in Aron, pustita ljudstvo od njihovih del? Odidita k svojim bremenom.«
5 Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."
Faraon je rekel: »Glejta, ljudstva dežele je torej mnogo, vidva pa jim delata počitek pred njihovimi bremeni.«
6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Faraon je istega dne zapovedal preddelavcem ljudstva in njihovim nadzornikom, rekoč:
7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
»Ljudstvu ne boste več dajali slame, da delajo opeko, kakor poprej. Naj gredo in sami nabirajo slamo.
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.'
Število opek, ki so jih naredili poprej, boste položili nanje. Ne boste zmanjšali od tega dolga, kajti brezdelni so, zato vpijejo, rekoč: ›Pojdimo in žrtvujmo našemu Bogu.‹
9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, so they may labor at it and pay no attention to lying words."
Več dela naj bo položenega na ljudi, da se bodo lahko trudili s tem in naj se ne ozirajo na prazne besede.«
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.
Preddelavci ljudstva so odšli ven in njihovi nadzorniki in ljudstvu spregovorili, rekoč: »Tako govori faraon: ›Ne bom vam dajal slame.
11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished."
Pojdite, dobite slamo kjer jo lahko najdete, vendar dolg vašega dela ne bo zmanjšan.‹«
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather dry stalks for straw.
Tako je bilo ljudstvo razkropljeno naokoli po vsej egiptovski deželi, da zbira strnišče namesto slame.
13 The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, "Fulfill your work quota, your daily amount, as when there was straw."
Preddelavci so jih priganjali, rekoč: »Izpolnjujte svoja dela, svoje dnevne naloge, kakor ko je bila slama.«
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?"
Nadzorniki Izraelovih otrok, ki so jih faraonovi preddelavci postavili nadnje, so bili pretepeni in zahtevali: »Zakaj niste izpolnili svoje naloge v izdelavi opek, tako včeraj in danes, kakor poprej?«
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?
Potem so nadzorniki Izraelovih otrok prišli in vpili k faraonu, rekoč: »Zakaj tako postopaš s svojimi služabniki?
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."
Nobena slama ni dana tvojim služabnikom, oni pa nam pravijo: ›Delajte opeko.‹ Glej, tvoji služabniki so pretepeni, toda krivda je na tvojem lastnem ljudstvu.«
17 But he said, "You are slackers! Slackers! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to God.'
Toda rekel jim je: »Vi ste brezdelni, vi ste brezdelni, zato pravite: ›Pojdimo in naredimo žrtvovanje Gospodu.‹
18 Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks."
Pojdite torej sedaj in delajte, kajti slama vam ne bo dana, vendar boste izročili število opek.«
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."
Nadzorniki Izraelovih otrok so videli, da so bili v zlem primeru, potem ko je bilo rečeno: »Ne boste zmanjšali dolga od opek svoje dnevne naloge.«
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
Srečali so Mojzesa in Arona, ki sta stala na poti, ko so prišli od faraona
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."
in jima rekli: » Gospod naj pogleda na vaju in sodi, ker sta storila našemu okusu, da je preziran v faraonovih očeh in v očeh njegovih služabnikov, da položi meč v njihovo roko, da nas ubijejo.«
22 Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
Mojzes se je vrnil h Gospodu ter rekel: »Gospod, zakaj si tako zlo ravnal s tem ljudstvom? Zakaj je to, da si me poslal?
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."
Kajti odkar sem prišel k faraonu, da govorim v tvojem imenu, je temu ljudstvu storil zlo niti sploh nisi osvobodil svojega ljudstva.«
