Exodus 5
1 Then Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and [one of them/us] said, “Yahweh God, whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says this [to you]: ‘Let my people go to the desert, in order that they may have a feast to [honor] me!’”
Amalalu, Mousese amola Elane da Felouma misini, ema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Na fi dunu ga masa: ne, ilia logo doasima. Ilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini hahawane gilisisu hamomu galebe.’”
2 But the king said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I pay attention to what he says and let the Israeli [people] [MTY] go? I do not know Yahweh! And furthermore, I will not let the Israeli [people] go!”
Felou da bu adole i, “Hina Gode da nowala: ? Na da abuliba: le Ea sia: nabalu, Isala: ili dunu udigili ahoanoma: ne logo doasima: bela: ? Na da Hina Gode hame dawa: Isala: ili dunu ilia da hame gadili masunu.”
3 They/we replied, “Yahweh God, the one we Hebrews [worship], has (revealed himself/appeared) to us [and told us what to tell you]. So we ask you to [please] let us go on a three day journey into the desert. We must offer sacrifices to Yahweh God [there]. [If we do] not do that, he will cause us to die [IDM] from diseases or from attacks [by our enemies] [MTY].”
Mousese amola Elane da amane sia: i, “Hibulu dunu ilia Gode da anima misi. Ninia da eso udiana wadela: i soge ganodini asili, Hina Godema gobele salasu hamomu hanai. Agoane hame hamosea, Hina Gode da olo bagade o gegesu bagade amoga nini fanelegemu.”
4 But the king of Egypt said to them/us, “Moses and Aaron, (stop trying to keep the Israeli people from working/why are you preventing the Israeli people from working?) [RHQ] [Tell those slaves] to return to work!”
Felou da Mousese amola Elane elama amane sia: i, “Ani da abuliba: le, Isala: ili udigili hawa: hamosu dunuma ilia hawa: hamosu fisimusa: sia: sala: ? Ilia bu hawa: hamomusa: sia: ma.
5 The king also said, “Listen [to me! You] people [who now live] in this land are now [more] numerous, and you want them [to stop working and] rest!”
Dilia Isala: ili fi dunu idi da Idibidi dunu ilia idi amo baligi dagoi. Amola wali alia da ilia hawa: hamosu logo damumusa: dawa: lala.”
6 That same day the king commanded the Egyptian slave bosses and the [Israeli] men supervising the slaves,
Amo esoha Felou da Idibidi ouligisu dunu amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i,
7 “Do not continue to give the [Israeli] people straw for making bricks, as you have done previously. Make them go [into the fields] and gather straw for themselves.
“Dilia Isala: ili dunuma ilia ga: i (osoboga hamoi igi) hamoma: ne gisi mae ima. Ilisu gisi hogola masa: ne sia: ma.
8 But require them to make the same number of bricks that they did before. Do not decrease the number at all. They (are lazy/do not have enough work to do). That is the reason they are asking me to let them go [into the desert] to offer sacrifices to their god.
Be ilia da osoboga hamoi igi idi da hame fonobomu. Ilia da waha hamosa defele hamomu. Ilia hawa: hamosu da fonobahadi fawane. Ilia da hawa: hamosu higa: iba: le, ilia da gadili ilia Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne nama adole ba: lala.
9 Force the men to work harder, so that they will not [have time] to listen to lies [from their leaders]!”
Hawa: hamosu gasa bagade ilima olelema. Amasea, ilia da ogogosu sia: amo nabimu hamedeiwane ba: mu.”
10 So the slave bosses and supervisors of the slaves went to where the [Israeli] people were and said to them, “The king has said that he will no longer give you any straw.
Idibidi hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da asili, Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Felou da dilima gisi eno hame imunu sia: i.
11 [So] you yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it. But you must still keep working to make the same number of bricks as before.” [LIT]
E da dilisu gisi hogoma: ne amola ga: i dilia waha idi defele hamoma: ne sia: sa.”
12 So the Israeli people went all over Egypt to find straw.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge huluane amoga gisi hogola asi.
13 The slave bosses kept telling them insistently, “Finish the work you are required to do each day, [making the same amount of bricks] as you did [before, when we gave you] straw!”
Idibidi gasa bagade ouligisu dunu da ili musa: ga: i idi defele hamoma: ne, ilima gasa bagade hamoi.
14 [When they were not able to do that], the slave bosses had the [Israeli supervisors] beaten [with sticks], and they asked them, “Why have [all the men you are supervising] not been able to make [the same number] of bricks today/now as [they did] before [RHQ]?”
Idibidi ouligisu dunu ilia da Isala: ili ouligisu dunu (ilima ilia hawa: hamosu ouligima: ne sia: i) amo bagade fananu. Ilia gasa fili amane sia: i, “Dilia da abuliba: le dilia musa: ga: i (osoboga hamoi igi) idi amo hame hamosala: ?”
15 Then the Israeli supervisors went to the king and complained, saying “[Your Majesty], why are you treating us this way?
Amalalu, Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilia da Felouma asili amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Di da abuliba: le ninima agoane hamosala: ?
16 [Now] they are not giving us any straw [for making bricks], but they keep commanding us to make bricks. And now sometimes they beat us. But it is the fault of your own slave bosses [that we cannot make as many bricks as before]!”
Ilia da ninima gisi hame iaha. Be ninia musa: ga: i idi defele hamoma: ne ilia da gasa fili sia: sa. Amola, wali ilia da nini fanana. Ninia hame, be dia fi dunu da giadofasa.”
17 But the king said, “You are lazy and do not [want to] work! That is why you keep saying, ‘Allow us to go [to the desert] and offer sacrifices to Yahweh.’
Be Felou bu adole i, “Dilia da hawa: hamosu higa: iba: le, gadili dia Hina Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne nama adole ba: sa.
18 So go and get back to work! [We] are not going to give you any straw, but you must keep making the same number of bricks!”
Wali hawa: hamomusa: masa! Ninia da gisi dilima hame imunu. Be dilia musa: idi amo defele hamoma.”
19 The Israeli supervisors realized that they were in a difficult situation, because they had been told, “We are not going to decrease the number of bricks [you must make] each day.”
Amo sia: nababeba: le, Isala: ili hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu da bidi hamosu da Isala: ili dunuma doaga: i dagoi dawa: i galu. Bai ilia ouligisu dunu da ilia musa: hamoi defele amo hamoma: ne sia: i dagoi.
20 As they left the king’s [palace], they met Aaron and Moses/me, who were waiting for them [there].
Ilia da Felou ea diasu fisili gadili ahoanoba, Mousese amola Elane ili misunu ouesalebe ba: i.
21 They said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Yahweh has seen [what] you two [have done] He will punish you [MTY], because you have caused the king and his officials to despise us! You have given them an excuse [MTY] to kill us!”
Ilia da Mousese amola Elane elama amane sia: i, “Alia hamobeba: le, Felou amola ea hina ouligisu dunu da nini bagade higasa. Hina Gode da amo hou ba: i dagoi amola E da alima se imunu. Alia da amo hou hamobeba: le, alia da Idibidi dunu nini fanelegema: ne abalosu logo fodoi dagoi.”
22 Moses/I left them and prayed to Yahweh again, saying, “O Yahweh, why have you caused all these evil things to happen to your people [RHQ]? And why did you send me [here] [RHQ]?
Amalalu, Mousese da Hina Godema sinidigili amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Dia da abuliba: le Dia fi dunuma se nabasisala: ? Dia da abuliba: le na guiguda: asunasibala: ?
23 Ever since I went to the king and told him what you told me to say [MTY], he has treated your people very cruelly, and you have not done anything to help/rescue them!”
Na da Dia sia: Felouma olelemusa: asiba: le, e da eso huluane ilima se bagade iaha. Amola Di da ili fidima: ne hamedafa hamoi!”
