Exodus 5
1 After these things happened, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so they can have a festival for me in the wilderness.'”
Un pēc tam Mozus un Ārons gāja un sacīja uz Faraonu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: atlaid manus ļaudis, ka tie man svētkus tur tuksnesī.
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I listen to his voice and let Israel go? I do not know Yahweh; moreover, I will not let Israel go.”
Bet Faraons sacīja: kas tas tāds Kungs, kā balsij man būs klausīt un Israēli atlaist? Es To Kungu nepazīstu, un Israēli arī neatlaidīšu.
3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to Yahweh our God so that he does not attack us with plague or with the sword.”
Tad tie sacīja: tas Ebreju Dievs mūs ir sastapis, lai mēs ejam treju dienu gājumu tuksnesī, upurēt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, lai Viņš pār mums nenāk ar mēri vai ar zobenu.
4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people from their work? Go back to your work.”
Tad Ēģiptes ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: jūs, Mozus un Ārons, - kam jūs tos ļaudis atturat no viņu darbiem? Ejat pie savas kalpošanas!
5 He also said, “There are now many people in our land, and you are making them stop their work.”
Vēl Faraons sacīja: redzi, ļaužu tai zemē tā jau daudz, un jūs tos vēl gribat atturēt no viņu kalpošanas?
6 On that same day, Pharaoh gave a command to the people's taskmasters and foremen. He said,
Un Faraons tai dienā ļaužu uzraugiem un virsniekiem pavēlēja un sacīja:
7 “Unlike before, you must no longer give the people straw to make bricks. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Jums turpmāk nebūs tiem ļaudīm dot salmus pie ķieģeļu taisīšanas, kā vakar un aizvakar; tiem pašiem būs iet un sev salmus meklēt.
8 However, you must still demand from them the same number of bricks as they made before. Do not accept any fewer, because they are lazy. That is why they are calling out and saying, 'Allow us to go and sacrifice to our God.'
Un to ķieģeļu pulku, ko tie citkārt taisījuši, jums tiem tā pat būs uzlikt, jums no tiem neko nebūs atraut; jo tie ir bez darba, tādēļ tie brēc un saka: iesim, upurēsim savam Dievam!
9 Increase the workload for the men so that they keep at it and pay no more attention to deceptive words.”
Lai tiem vīriem tā kalpošana top grūtāka, ka tiem ir darbs, un tie negriežās pie blēņām.
10 So the people's taskmasters and foremen went out and informed the people. They said, “This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will no longer give you any straw.
Tad tie ļaužu uzraugi un virsnieki izgāja un runāja uz tiem ļaudīm sacīdami: Tā saka Faraons: es jums vairs nedošu salmus.
11 You yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it, but your workload will not be reduced.'”
Ejat paši, dabūjiet sev salmus kur dabūdami, bet no jūsu darba nekas netaps atlaists.
12 So the people scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Tad tie ļaudis izklīda pa visu Ēģiptes zemi, ka tie rugājus sakrātu salmu vietā.
13 The taskmasters kept urging them and saying, “Finish your work, just as when straw was given to you.”
Un tie uzraugi tos spieda, sacīdami: Pabeidziet savu dienas darbu it tāpat, kā kad jums salmi bija.
14 Pharaoh's taskmasters beat the Israelite foremen, those same men whom they had put in charge of the workers. The taskmasters kept asking them, “Why have you not produced all the bricks required of you, either yesterday and today, as you used to do in the past?”
Un Israēla bērnu uzraugi, ko Faraona virsnieki pār tiem bija iecēluši, tapa sisti, un uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs neesat pabeiguši savu nospriesto darbu pie ķieģeļu dedzināšanas kā papriekš, ne vakar, ne šodien?
15 So the Israelite foremen came to Pharaoh and cried out to him. They said, “Why are you treating your servants this way?
Tad Israēla bērnu uzraugi gāja un brēca uz Faraonu un sacīja: kāpēc tu saviem kalpiem tā dari?
16 No straw is being given to your servants anymore, but they are still telling us, 'Make bricks!' We, your servants, are even beaten now, but it is the fault of your own people.”
Taviem kalpiem salmus nedod, un mums saka: taisāt ķieģeļus; un redzi, tavi kalpi top sisti, un tā ir tavas tautas vaina.
17 But Pharaoh said, “You are lazy! You are lazy! You say, 'Allow us to go sacrifice to Yahweh.'
Tad Faraons sacīja: jūs esat sliņķi, sliņķi jūs esat, tāpēc jūs sakāt, iesim, upurēsim Tam Kungam.
18 So now go back to work. No more straw will be given to you, but you must still make the same number of bricks.”
Tad nu ejat pie darba, salmus jums nedos, bet ķieģeļu skaits jums jātaisa.
19 The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily number of bricks.”
Tad Israēla bērnu uzraugi redzēja, ka viņi postā, tāpēc ka sacīja: jums nebūs atraut no nospriestā dienas darba ķieģeļiem.
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who were standing outside the palace, as they went away from Pharaoh.
Un tie sastapa Mozu un Āronu, kas tur stāvēja tos sagaidīt, kad tie no Faraona izgāja,
21 They said to Moses and Aaron, “May Yahweh look at you and punish you, because you have made us offensive in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. You have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
Un sacīja uz tiem: lai Tas Kungs jūs redz un soda, tāpēc ka jūs mūsu smaržu esat smirdošu darījuši pie Faraona un pie viņa kalpiem, viņiem rokā dodami zobenu, mūs nokaut.
22 Moses went back to Yahweh and said, “Lord, why have you caused trouble for this people? Why did you send me in the first place?
Tad Mozus atgriezās pie Tā Kunga un sacīja: Kungs, kāpēc Tu šiem ļaudīm esi darījis ļaunu? Kāpēc tad Tu mani esi sūtījis?
23 Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak to him in your name, he has caused trouble for this people, and you have not set your people free at all.”
Jo kamēr es esmu gājis pie Faraona, runāt Tavā vārdā, viņš tiem ļaudīm dara ļaunu, un Tu Savus ļaudis glābt neesi glābis.
