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.
Tampetse izay le niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone, nanao ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Angao hañavelo mb’eo ondatikoo hanoe’ iereo sabadidak’ amako am-patrambey añe.
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!
Aa hoe t’i Parò, Ia ze o Iehovà zao te ho haoñeko ty feo’e hampiavotako Israele. Amoeako ze o Iehovà zao vaho tsy hapoko hionjoñe ka t’Israele.
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.
Le hoe iereo, Nifañaoñe ama’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo; aa le hañavelo lia telo andro mb’ ampatrañe añe zahay hisoroñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, tsy mone hampiambotraha’e am’ angorosy ndra fibara.
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.
Fe hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime am’ iereo. O Mosè naho Aharone, inom-bao ty hampisitahañe ondatio amo fitoloña’eo? Mimpolia amo fijinia’areoo!
5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many—now, are the people of the land, —and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
Tinovo’ i Parò ty hoe, Ingo te maro t’indaty an-tane ao henaneo vaho ipaia’ areo hitroatse tsy hitoloñe!
6 So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers—saying:
Aa le linili’ i Parò amy andro zay amo mpanao bozizi’ iareoo naho amo mpisari’ iareoo, ty hoe:
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:
Tsy hatolotse ahetse ka ondatio fe hamboatse birike mira amy teoy; angao hatonto’ iareo ze ahetse paiaeñe.
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.
Le ampano’ areo birike mira amy nanoeñe taoloy, tsy haketrake, amy t’ie votro, izay ty mampitoreo iareo ami’ty hoe: Apoho hiavotse añe hisoroñe aman’ Añahare’ay.
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.
Anovoño asa ondatio, hifanehafa’ iareo tsy hitsanom-bolam-bande.
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,
Aa le niakatse mb’eo o mpanao bozizio naho o mpisari’ ondatioo, nanao ty hoe am’ondatio, Hoe t’i Parò, Tsy hitolorako ahetse.
11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, —yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
Akia, atontono ahetse amy ze hahatendreha’ areo, fe tsy haketrake ty fitoloña’ areo.
12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, —to gather stubble for straw:
Aa le fonga niparaitak’ an-tane Mitsraime ao ondatio nanontone tain-ava hasolo i bokay.
13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, —Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
Tinaentae’ o mpanao bozizio ka ami’ty hoe, Henefo ty fitoloña’ areo lomoñandro ho mira amy fasiañ’ ahetse teoy.
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?
Finofoke ka o talèm-pitoloña’ o ana’ Israele najado’ o mpanao bozizi’ i Paròo am’ iareoo, ami’ty hoe, Akore te tsy nihenefa’ areo anindroany naho omale ty lili’areo amo birike manahake te taoloo?
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?
Aa le niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo o talè ana’ Israeleo nitoreo ty hoe, Ino ty anoa’o hoe zao o mpitoro’oo?
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.
Tsy ho tolorañe boka o mpitoro’oo, fa hoe iereo ama’ay, Mañamboara birike! Hehe te finofoke zahay vaho manao hakeo ondati’oo.
17 But he said: Idle, ye are—idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.
Hoe re, Mikopiso avao ty tembo retia, izay ty atao’ areo ty hoe, Angao hisoroñe amy Iehovà.
18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, —yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
Akia, arè, mitromaha fe tsy homeañe ahetse vaho mbe hasese’ areo ty anjara’ birike.
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
Nirendre’ o talè, ana’ Israeleo, t’ie am-poheke amy saontsi’ey, ty hoe, Tsy haketra’ areo ty anjara birike lomoñandro.
20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, —as they came forth from Pharaoh;
Ie nienga i Parò, le nifanjò amy Mosè naho i Aharone nijohañe ey hifanalaka am’iereo,
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.
vaho hoe ty nanoa’ iareo, Ee t’ie ho vazohoe’ Iehovà naho hizaka! Akore ty nañaimboa’ areo anay am-pihaino’ i Parò naho am-pihaino o mpitoro’eo, hanolorañe fibara am-pità’ iareo hañohofa’e loza.
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?
Nitolik’ am’ Iehovà indraike t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe, Ry Talè, akore ty fanilofañe ondaty retoañe? Ino o namantoha’o ahio?
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,
Fa boak’ ami’ty niheovako amy Parò hivolañe amy tahina’oy, le nanoe’e samporerake ondaty retoa vaho tsy rinomba’o ondati’oo.
