Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.
To pacoengah Mosi hoi Aaron loe Faro khaeah caeh hoi moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Praezaek ah kai khae poihsak o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa hoi.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
Faro mah, Angraeng ih lok to ka tahngaih moe, Israel kaminawk ka prawt hanah to Angraeng loe mi aa? Angraeng to ka panoek ai, Israel kaminawk doeh ka prawt mak ai, tiah a naa.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice to the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
To naah nihnik mah, Hebru kaminawk ih Sithaw mah kaihnik hae tongh boeh; ni thumto caehhaih praezaek ah, kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih sak hanah, na caeh o sak ah; to tih ai nahaeloe kaicae nuiah nathaih maw, to ai boeh loe sumsen hoiah maw na thuitaek moeng tih, tiah a naa hoi.
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? go to your burdens.
Toe Izip siangpahrang mah nihnik khaeah, Tih hanah hae kaminawk toksak nam pra hoi sak loe? Na sak hoi ih tok to mah sah hoih, tiah a naa.
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
To pacoengah Faro mah, Khenah, prae thungah kami paroeai pop o, toe nihcae khaeah toksak han ai ah na thuih pae hoiah, tiah a naa.
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
To na niah Faro mah tamna khenzawn kaminawk hoi ukkungnawk khaeah, hae tiah lokthuih pae;
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as before: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
amlai long to hmaiqoeng hanah, canghni ah na paek o ih baktiah, kaminawk hanah caphaeh to paek o hma lai ah; angmacae koehah caphaeh to akhuih hanah caeh o nasoe.
8 And the number of the bricks, which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Toe amlai long hmaiqoenghaih tok loe canghni ah sak ih baktih toengah nihcae to sahsak ah; tamsi o sak hmah; nihcae loe thaset o pongah ni, Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, na caehsak ah, tiah a hang o.
9 Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour in it; and let them not regard vain words.
Toksak panki o moe, amsawn loknawk to a tang o han ai ah, nongpanawk to tok karai paek ah, tiah a naa.
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
To naah tamna khenzawn kaminawk hoi ukkungnawk loe caeh o moe, kaminawk khaeah, Faro mah, nangcae caphaeh paek han ai ah thuih boeh.
11 Go ye, get for yourselves straw where ye can find it: yet not any of your work shall be diminished.
Caeh oh loe nangmacae koehah caphaeh to pakrong oh; toe toksak tamsi o sak hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
To pongah kaminawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o moe, caphaeh zuengah anghnoeng to pakrong hanah, Izip prae thung boih ah caeh o.
13 And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
Tamna khenzawn kaminawk mah nihcae to mongh aep aep; caphaeh oh nathuem ah ni thokkruek na sak o ih tok baktih toengah, pacoeng hanah tok to sah oh, tiah a naa.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as before?
Faro ih tamna khenzawn kaminawk mah, zaehoikung ah suek ih Israel kaminawk khaeah, Tipongah cangduem hoi vaihni na sak o ih, amlai long loe canghni ah na sak o ih zetto pha ai loe? tiah a naa o.
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dealest thou thus with thy servants?
To naah Israel zaehoikungnawk loe Faro khaeah caeh o moe, Tipongah na tamnanawk hae tih khoek to nang pacaekthlaek loe?
16 There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thy own people.
Na tamnanawk hanah caphaeh paek ai to mah, khenah, ukkungnawk loe kaicae khaeah amlai long sak hanah lok ang thuih o moe, na tamnanawk to boh o; zaehaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah ni oh, tiah a naa o.
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.
Toe Faro mah, Tha na set o, tha na set o! To pongah ni, Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah na caehsak ah, tiah na thuih o.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
To pongah vaihi caeh oh loe, tok to sah oh; caphaeh to kang paek o mak ai boeh; toe amlai long loe na sak o zetto sah o toengtoeng ah, tiah a naa.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, after it was said, Ye shall not diminish the number of your bricks of your daily task.
Nito thung sak ih amlai long to tamsi o sak hmah, tiah thuih ih lok to Israel kaminawk mah thaih o naah, raihaih a tongh o boeh, tiah panoek o.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
Faro khae hoi amlaem o naah, loklam ah nihcae tongh han kazing, Mosi hoi Aaron to a hnuk o;
21 And they said to them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hands to slay us.
nihnik khaeah, Angraeng mah nang hnik to khen nasoe loe, lokcaek nasoe; Faro hoi anih ih toksah tamnanawk mah kaicae hae panuet moe, kaicae hae sumsen hoi hum hanah, na sak hoi boeh, tiah a naa o.
22 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Lord, why hast thou so oppressed this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
Mosi loe Angraeng khaeah amlaem moe, Angraeng, tipongah hae kaminawk khaeah raihaih na phaksak loe? Tih pongah kai nang patoeh loe?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Na hmin hoi Faro khaeah lokthuih han ka caeh kruek, anih mah hae kaminawk khaeah raihaih a phaksak; nangmah ih kaminawk hae na pahlong ai, tiah a naa.
