Exodus 5
1 And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.
Bangʼe Musa gi Harun nodhi ir Farao mi giwachone niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel wacho kama: ‘We joga odhi, mondo gilosna sawo e thim.’”
2 Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!
To Farao nodwokogi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye to en ngʼa, ma dimi awinj dwonde mi awe jo-Israel dhi? Ok angʼeyo Jehova Nyasaye kendo ok anawe jo-Israel dhi.”
3 And they said, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us, —let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.
Negiwachone niya, “Nyasach jo-Hibrania oseromo kodwa. Omiyo koro yie iwe wadhi e thim kama kawo e wuodh ndalo adek mondo wachiw misengini ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, nono to dipo ka okelonwa masiche kata tho.”
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
To ruodh Misri nowachonegi niya, “Musa gi Harun, en angʼo momiyo ugolo ji kuom tijegi ma gitimo? Doguru e tiju!”
5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many—now, are the people of the land, —and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
Eka Farao nomedo wacho niya, “Neuru, ogandani koro osenyaa momedore to pod udwaro chungogi e tich.”
6 So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers—saying:
Chiengʼ onogo Farao nogolo chik ni jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche kowachonegi niya,
7 Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:
“Kik uchak umi jo-Israel lum magilosogo matafare; to nyaka une ni giomo lum kendgi giwegi.
8 Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, —for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.
To nyaka une ni giloso matafare ma kwan-gi romre gi mano ma gisebedo ka giloso, kik uwe kwan-go dog chien. Gin jonyawo, emomiyo gigoyo koko ni, ‘Yie iwewa wadhi kendo wachiw misango ni Nyasachwa.’
9 The service must be made heavy on the men that they may labour on it, —and let them not pay regard to words of falsehood.
Keturu tich obed matekie moloyo ni jogi mondo gisiki ka gitiyo kendo kik uchik itu ne miriambogi.”
10 Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people, —saying, —Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,
Eka jorit wasumbini kod nyipeche ne odhi mowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ma e gima Farao wacho, ‘Ok abi miyou lum kendo.
11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, —yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
Dhiuru mondo udwar lumbu kamoro amora ma unyalo yude, to ngʼeuru ni tiju to ok nodwok chien kata matin.’”
12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, —to gather stubble for straw:
Omiyo jo-Israel nokee e piny Misri duto ka gichoko lum.
13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, —Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
Jorit wasumbini ne kasogi kawachonegi niya, “Tiekuru tich momiu odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, mana machal kaka ne utimo kane un gi lum.”
14 Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?
Nyipeche ma jo-Israel mane jotich Farao oyiero nigoyo kipenjogi niya, “En angʼo mosemonou loso matafare ndalo ariyogi kaka uloso pile?”
15 Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?
Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nodhi modonjo ir Farao kagiwacho niya, “Ere gima omiyo isetimone jotichni kama?
16 No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, —they keep saying to us—make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten—thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.
Jotichni ok mi kata mana lum, to eka pod inyisowa kama: ‘Losuru matafare!’ Jotichni igoyo, to jogi ema nigi ketho.”
17 But he said: Idle, ye are—idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.
Eka Farao nowacho niya, “Jonyawogi un mana jonyawo! Mano e gima omiyo usiko kuwacho ni, ‘Yie wadhi mondo wachiw misango ni Jehova Nyasaye.’
18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, —yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
Koro doguru e tich, ok nomiu lum moro amora, to nyaka ulos matafare ma kar kwan-gi rom gi ma usebedo kuloso pile.”
19 Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, —Ye shall not diminish from your bricks—the task of a day, in its day
Eka nyipeche ma jo-Israel nofwenyo ni gin e chandruok ka nonyisogi niya, “Ok unyal dwoko kar kwan matafare musebedo kuloso pile.”
20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, —as they came forth from Pharaoh;
Bangʼ kane gisea ir Farao, negiyudo Musa gi Harun karitogi mondo orom kodgi,
21 and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you and judge, —in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.
kendo negiwachonegi niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye neu mi ngʼadnu bura! Usemiyo wadoko gima dungʼ mangʼwe ni Farao kod jodonge kendo useketo ligangla e lwetgi mondo ginegwago.”
22 And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, —O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?
Eka Musa nodok ir Jehova Nyasaye mowachone niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, en angʼo momiyo isekelo chandruok ni ogandani? Koso ma emomiyo ni ora?
23 seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,
Nyaka nachak dhi ir Farao mondo awuo e nyingi, osekelo chandruok ni ogandani bende ok isereso ogandani ngangʼ.”
