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!’”
MAHOPE iho, hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, a hai aku la ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i ahaaina lakou na'u ma ka waonahele.
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!”
I mai la o Parao, Owai la o Iehova i hoolohe ai au i kona leo, e hookuu aku ai i ka Iseraela? Aole au i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi au e hookuu aku i ka Iseraela.
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].”
I aku la laua, ua halawai mai me makou ke Akua o ka poe Hebera; no ia mea, e hookuu oe ia makou e hele i ka waonahele, i kahi ekolu la hiki, e kaumaha aku ai na Iehova o ko makou Akua, o kau mai ia maluna o makou i ke ahulau a me ka pahikaua.
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!”
I mai la ke alii o Aigupita ia laua, No ke aha la olua, e Mose a me Aarona, e hooki nei i kanaka i ka lakou hana? E hoi oukou ma ko oukou luhi.
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!”
Olelo mai la o Parao, Aia hoi, ua nui loa na kanaka o ka aina, a ke hooki nei olua ia lakou i ko lakou luhi.
6 That same day the king commanded the Egyptian slave bosses and the [Israeli] men supervising the slaves,
Ia la no, kauoha mai la o Parao i na lunahooluhi o na kanaka; a me ko lakou mau luna iho, i mai la,
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.
Mai haawi hou aku i ka mauu i kanaka no na pohakulepo, e like mamua. E hele lakou e hoiliili i ka lakou mauu.
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.
A o ka nui o na pohakulepo a lakou i hana'i mamua, pela oukou e haawi hou aku ai ia lakou; mai hoemi iki ia mea; no ka mea, ua molowa lakou: no ia mea, ke uwe mai nei lakou, i ka i ana mai, E hele makou e kaumaha aku na ko makou Akua.
9 Force the men to work harder, so that they will not [have time] to listen to lies [from their leaders]!”
E kau i ka hana kaumaha maluna o na kanaka, i hana aku ai lakou ilaila, i hoolohe ole ai hoi lakou i na olelo wahahee.
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.
Hele aku la na lunahooluhi o na kanaka, a me ko lakou poe luna iho, olelo ae la i kanaka, i ae la, Ke i mai nei o Parao penei, Aole au e haawi aku i mauu ia oukou.
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 hele oukou, e kii i mauu na oukou iho i kahi e loaa'i ia oukou; no ka mea, aole loa e hoemi iki ia ka oukou mea hana.
12 So the Israeli people went all over Egypt to find straw.
No ia mea, auwana wale aku no na kanaka ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita, e hoiliili i ka opala i mauu.
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!”
Wikiwiki mai la na lunahooluhi, i mai la ia lakou, E hoolawa i ka oukou hana, i ka hana o kela la o keia la, e like me ka wa mauu.
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]?”
A o na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o lakou e na lunahooluhi o Parao, ua hahauia mai lakou, me ka ninauia mai, No ke aha la oukou i hoolawa ole ai i ka oukou hana i na pohakulepo inehinei, a i keia la hoi, e like mamua?
15 Then the Israeli supervisors went to the king and complained, saying “[Your Majesty], why are you treating us this way?
Hele aku la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, a uwe aku la ia Parao, i aku la, No ke aha la oe e hana mai ai pela i kau poe kauwa nei?
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]!”
Aole i haawiia mai ka mauu i kau poe kauwa, a ke i mai nei lakou ia makou, E hana oukou i na pohakulepo: aia hoi, ua hahauia mai nei kau poe kauwa: aka, no kou poe kanaka iho ka hewa.
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.’
I mai la kela, Ua palela oukou, ua palela oukou; no ia mea, ke olelo mai nei oukou, E hookuu mai oe ia makou e hele, e kaumaha aku na Iehova.
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!”
E hele hoi oukou pela e hana, no ka mea, aole loa e haawiia'ku ka mauu na oukou, aka, e hoolawa oukou i ka hana o na pohakulepo.
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.”
Ike iho la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, ua nui ko lakou pilikia, i ka i ana mai, Mai hoemi iki oukou i na pohakulepo i ka oukou hana ana i kela la i keia la.
20 As they left the king’s [palace], they met Aaron and Moses/me, who were waiting for them [there].
Halawai lakou me Mose laua o Aarona, e ku ana ma ke alanui i ko lakou hele ana mai, mai o Parao mai.
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!”
I ae la lakou ia laua, E nana mai o Iehova ia olua, a e hoahewa mai; no ka mea, ua hoolilo olua i ko makou ala i mea pilau imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa, i ka haawi ana i ka pahikaua maloko o ko lakou lima, e pepehi mai ai ia makou.
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]?
Hoi hou aku la o Mose io Iehova la, i aku la ia ia, E ka Haku e, no ke aha la oe i hana ino mai ai i keia poe kanaka? No ke aha la oe i hoouna mai nei ia'u?
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!”
No ka mea, mai ka manawa a'u i hele aku ai io Parao la e olelo aku ma kou inoa, ua hana ino mai kela i keia poe kanaka, aole hoi oe i hookuu iki mai i kou poe kanaka.
