< 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!’”
Kalpasan a napasamak dagitoy a banbanag, napan da Moisen ken Aaron kenni Faraon ket kinunada, “Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh, ti Dios iti Israel: 'Palubosam a pumanaw dagiti tattaok, tapno agfiestada para kaniak idiay let-ang.”'
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!”
Kinuna ni Faraon, “Siasino ni Yahweh? Apay koma a dumngegak iti timekna ken palubosak a pumanaw ti Israel? Saanko nga am-ammo ni Yahweh; maysa pay, saankonto a palubosan a pumanaw ti Israel.”
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].”
Kinunada, “Nakisinnarak kadakami ti Dios dagiti Hebreo. Palubosannakami nga agdaliasat iti tallo-nga aldaw a mapan idiay let-ang ken agidaton kenni Yahweh a Diosmi tapno saan isuna a mangipatulod iti didigra wenno kampilan.”
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!”
Ngem kinuna ti ari iti Egipto kadakuada, “Moises ken Aaron, apay nga al-alaenyo dagiti tattao manipud kadagiti trabahoda? Agsublikayo kadagiti trabahoyo.”
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!”
Kinunana pay, “Adu itan dagiti Hebreo iti dagatayo, ket paspasardengenyo ida kadagiti trabahoda.”
6 That same day the king commanded the Egyptian slave bosses and the [Israeli] men supervising the slaves,
Iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw, nangted ni Faraon iti bilin kadagiti kapatas ken mangiturturay kadagiti tattao. Kinunana,
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.
“Saan a kasla idi, masapul a saanyon a pulos nga ikkan dagiti tattao iti garami a pagaramidda kadagiti ladrilio. Bay-anyo ida a mapan ken agurnong iti garami para kadakuada.
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.
Nupay kasta, sapulenyo latta kadakuada iti isu met laeng a bilang dagiti ladrilio kas iti sigud nga inaramidda. Saanyo nga awaten ti basbassit, gapu ta nasadutda. Isu nga umaw-awag ken ibagbagada a, 'Palubosannakami a mapan agidaton iti Diosmi.'
9 Force the men to work harder, so that they will not [have time] to listen to lies [from their leaders]!”
Nayunanyo pay ti trabaho dagiti lallaki tapno ituloyda daytoy ken saanda a dumngeg kadagiti makaallilaw a sasao.”
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.
Ket rimmuar ngarud dagiti kapatas ken mangiturturay kadagiti tattao ket pinakaamoanda dagiti tattao. Kinunada, “Daytoy ti imbaga ni Faraon: 'Saanakon a pulos a mangted kadakayo iti garami.
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]
Masapul a dakayo ti mapan ken mangala iti garami iti sadinoman a pakabirukanyo iti daytoy, ngem saanto a makissayan ti trabahoyo.'”
12 So the Israeli people went all over Egypt to find straw.
Isu a nagwaras dagiti tattao iti entero a daga ti Egipto tapno agurnong iti garami.
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!”
Agtultuloy a dagdagdagen dagiti kapatas ida ket kunkunada, “Leppasenyo dagiti trabahoyo, kas idi mait-ited kadakayo ti garami.”
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]?”
Kinabil dagiti kapatas ni Faraon dagiti mangiturturay nga Israelita, dagiti isu met laeng a tattao nga inkabilda a mangimaton kadagiti trabahador. Intultuloy dagiti kapatas a nagsalsaludsod kadakuada, “Apay a saanyo pay a naaramid dagiti amin a ladrilio a naipaaramid kadakayo, uray idi kalman ken ita, kas ti ar-aramidenyo iti napalabas?”
15 Then the Israeli supervisors went to the king and complained, saying “[Your Majesty], why are you treating us this way?
Isu a napan dagiti kapatas nga Israelita kenni Faraon ket nagpakaasida kenkuana, kinunada, “Apay a tratratoem iti kastoy a wagas dagiti adipenmo?
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]!”
Awanen a pulos ti garami a mait-ited kadagiti adipenmo, ngem ibagbagada latta kadakami nga, 'Agaramid iti ladrilio!' Dakami, dagiti adipenmo, ket makabkabil payen ita, ngem basol met laeng dagiti tattaom.”
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.’
Ngem kinuna ni Faraon, “Nasadutkayo! Nasadutkayo! Ibagayo, 'Palubosannakami a mapan agidaton kenni Yahweh.'
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!”
Isu nga ita agsublikayo kadagiti trabahoyo. Awanen ti maited kadakayo a garami, ngem masapul nga agaramidkayo latta iti isu met laeng a bilang dagiti ladrilio.”
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.”
Nakita dagiti kapatas nga Israelita nga adda dakkel a parikutda idi naibaga kadakuada, “Masapul a saanyo a kissayan ti bilang dagiti ladrilio.”
20 As they left the king’s [palace], they met Aaron and Moses/me, who were waiting for them [there].
Nasabatda ni Moises ken Aaron, nga agtaktakder iti ruar ti palasio, bayat ti ipapanawda manipud kenni Faraon.
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!”
Kinunada kenni Moises ken ni Aaron, “Makitanakayo koma ni Yahweh ket dusaennakayo, ta dakayo ti gapuna a kinaguranakami Faraon ken dagiti adipenna. Nangikabilkayo iti kampilan kadagiti imada tapno patayendakami”
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]?
Nagsubli ni Moises kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Apo, apay a parparigatem dagitoy a tattao? Apay nga imbaonnak?
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!”
Nanipud idi napanak nakisao kenni Faraon iti naganmo, pinarigatna dagitoy a tattao, ket saanmo pulos a winaya-wayaan dagiti tattaom.”
