Exodus 5
1 And after they went Moses and Aaron and they said to Pharaoh thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel let go people my so they may celebrate a festival to me in the wilderness.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Musa ne Alooni ne bajja eri Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Tutumiddwa Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’akugamba nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bankolere embaga mu ddungu.’”
2 And he said Pharaoh who? [is] Yahweh that I will listen to voice his by letting go Israel not I know Yahweh and also Israel not I will let go.
Naye Falaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Mukama ye ani, mmugondere, nzikirize Abayisirayiri okugenda? Mukama ssimumanyi, era sijja kubakkiriza kugenda.”
3 And they said [the] God of the Hebrews he has met with us let us go please a journey of three days in the wilderness and let us sacrifice to Yahweh God our lest he should fall on us with pestilence or with the sword.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Katonda w’Abaebbulaniya yatulabikira. Tukusaba otuleke tugende olugendo lwa nnaku ssatu mu ddungu, tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda waffe; aleme kututta ne kawumpuli, oba n’ekitala.”
4 And he said to them [the] king of Egypt why? O Moses and Aaron are you causing to refrain the people from work its go to forced labor your.
Naye kabaka w’e Misiri n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe Musa ne Alooni, lwaki mwagala okuggya abantu ku mirimu gyabwe? Muddeeyo mangu ku mirimu gyammwe.”
5 And he said Pharaoh here! [is] many now [the] people of the land and you have caused to cease them from forced labor their.
Falaawo n’ayongera n’agamba nti, “Kale, mulabe abantu nga bwe beeyongedde obungi mu ggwanga ate mmwe mubaziyiza kukola.”
6 And he commanded Pharaoh on the day that the taskmasters over the people and foremen its saying.
Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Falaawo n’alagira abagabi b’emirimu ne bannampala b’abantu nti,
7 Not you will repeat! to give straw to the people to make bricks the bricks as yesterday three days ago they let them go and they may gather for themselves straw.
“Mulekeraawo okuwanga abantu essubi ery’okukozesa mu kubumba amatoffaali; mubaleke bagende beenoonyezenga essubi lyabwe.
8 And [the] measurement of the bricks which they [were] making yesterday three days ago you will place on them not you will diminish from it for [are] idle they there-fore they [are] crying out saying let us go let us sacrifice to God our.
Naye mubalagire babumbenga obungi bw’amatoffaali bwe bumu nga ge babadde babumba; temukendeezanga ku muwendo ogwabasalirwa. Bagayaavu; era kyebava bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Katonda waffe.’
9 Let it be heavy the labor on the men so they may work in it and may not them pay attention to words of falsehood.
Abasajja mubongereko ku mirimu gye mubasalira, bakole nnyo, balyoke baleme na kufa ku ebyo bye babalimbalimba.”
10 And they went out [the] taskmasters of the people and foremen its and they said to the people saying thus he says Pharaoh not I [am] giving to you straw.
Awo abakozesa ne bannampala ne bagenda ne bategeeza abantu nti, “Falaawo agambye bw’ati nti, ‘Sijja kwongera kubawanga ssubi.
11 You go acquire for yourselves straw from where you will find [it] for not [is] diminished from labor your anything.
Mugende mwenoonyeze essubi yonna gye musobola okuliraba; kyokka emirimu gyammwe tegijja kukendeezebwako n’akatono.’”
12 And it scattered the people in all [the] land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.
Bwe batyo abantu ne basaasaanira Misiri yonna okukuŋŋaanya obukonge bw’essubi ly’eŋŋaano bakozese obwo mu kifo ky’essubi.
13 And the taskmasters [were] pressing [them] saying complete work your a matter of a day in day its just as when was the straw.
Abakozesa ne babakuluusanyanga nga babalagira nti, “Emirimu gyammwe egibasalirwa buli lunaku, mugituukirize nga bwe mwakolanga ng’essubi likyabaweebwa.”
14 And they were struck [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel whom they had appointed over them [the] taskmasters of Pharaoh saying why? not have you completed prescribed portion your by making bricks as yesterday three days ago neither yesterday nor this day.
Bannampala Abayisirayiri, abaalondebwa abakozesa ba Falaawo, ne bakubibwanga nga bwe babuuzibwa nti, “Lwaki omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwa jjo n’ogwa leero ogwabasalirwa temugutuukirizza nga bwe mwakolanga edda?”
15 And they went [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel and they cried out to Pharaoh saying why? are you doing thus to servants your.
Awo bannampala Abayisirayiri ne bajja ne bajulira ewa Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe abaddu bo, lwaki otuyisizza bw’oti?
16 Straw not [is being] given to servants your and bricks [people are] saying to us make and there! servants your [are] being struck and you have sinned people your.
Abaddu bo tetuweebwa ssubi, kyokka tulagirwa nti, ‘Mubumbe amatoffaali!’ Abaddu bo tukubibwa, so ng’omusango guli mu bantu bo.”
17 And he said [are] idle you idle there-fore you [are] saying let us go let us sacrifice to Yahweh.
Falaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Muli bagayaavu bugayaavu kyokka. Kyemuva mundeeberera nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.’
18 And now go work and straw not it will be given to you and [the] measurement of bricks you will give.
Kale, mugende mukole! Temujja kuweebwa ssubi, naye muteekwa okubumba omuwendo gw’amatoffaali omujjuvu nga bwe gwabasalirwa.”
19 And they saw [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel themselves in trouble saying not you will diminish from bricks your a matter of a day in day its.
Bannampala Abayisirayiri ne bategeera ng’akacwano kabatuukiridde, bwe baagambibwa nti, “Omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwabasalirwa okubumbanga buli lunaku tegujja kukendeezebwako.”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron standing to meet them when came out they from with Pharaoh.
Bwe baava ewa Falaawo, baasanga Musa ne Alooni nga babalindiridde.
21 And they said to them may he look Yahweh on you and may he judge that you have made stink odor our in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of servants his to put a sword in hand their to kill us.
Bannampala ne babagamba nti, “Mukama abatunuulire era asalewo; kubanga mutufudde ekyenyinyalwa ewa Falaawo n’abaweereza be, era mubakwasizza ekitala okututta.”
22 And he returned Moses to Yahweh and he said O Lord why? have you done harm to the people this why? this did you send me.
Awo Musa n’akomawo awali Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama, abantu bano lwaki obaleetedde emitawaana? Eyo y’ensonga kyewava ontuma?
23 And from then I went to Pharaoh to speak in name your he has done harm to the people this and certainly not you have delivered people your.
Kubanga kasookedde ŋŋenda ne njogera ne Falaawo mu linnya lyo, abantu bo abataddeko ebizibu bingi; era abantu bo tobawonyezza n’akatono.”
