Exodus 5
1 And afterwards have Moses and Aaron entered, and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Send My people away, and they keep a feast to Me in the wilderness;'
Zitachitika izi, Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndipo anati, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Aloleni anthu anga apite, kuti akachite chikondwerero cha Ine mʼchipululu.’”
2 and Pharaoh saith, 'Who [is] Jehovah, that I hearken to His voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and Israel also I do not send away.'
Koma Farao anati, “Yehova ndani kuti ine ndimumvere ndi kulola Aisraeli kuti apite? Ine Yehova sindikumudziwa ndipo sindilola kuti Aisraeli apite.”
3 And they say, 'The God of the Hebrews hath met with us, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.'
Ndipo iwo anati, “Mulungu wa Ahebri anakumana nafe. Chonde tiloleni tipite ulendo wa masiku atatu ku chipululu kuti tikapereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, ngati sititero iye adzatipweteka ndi miliri kapena lupanga.”
4 And the king of Egypt saith unto them, 'Why, Moses and Aaron, do ye free the people from its works? go to your burdens.'
Koma mfumu ya Igupto inati, “Mose ndi Aaroni, chifukwa chiyani mukuchititsa anthuwa kuti asagwire ntchito zawo? Bwererani ku ntchito zanu!”
5 Pharaoh also saith, 'Lo, numerous now [is] the people of the land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!'
Ndiponso Farao anati, “Taonani, anthuwa mʼdziko muno alipo ochuluka, ndipo inu mukuwaletsa kugwira ntchito.”
6 And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Pa tsiku lomwelo Farao analamulira akapitawo a thangata ndi anzawo a Chiisraeli amene ankayangʼanira anthu kuti
7 'Ye do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks, as heretofore — they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
“Inu musawapatsenso udzu wopangira njerwa monga mumachitira kale, iwo azipita ndi kukatenga udzu wawo.
8 and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
Koma musawachepetsere chiwerengero cha njerwa chomwe munawalamulira kale kuti aziwumba. Iwowa ndi aulesi. Nʼchifukwa chake akulira kuti, ‘Tiloleni tipite tikapereke nsembe kwa Mulungu wathu.’
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.'
Muwakhawulitse ndi ntchito anthu amenewa kuti azitanganidwa, asakhale ndi mpata omvera zabodza.”
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, 'Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,
Choncho akapitawo a thangata ndi anzawo a Chiisraeli amene ankayangʼanira anthu anapita kwa anthu aja nati, “‘Farao akuti sadzakupatsaninso udzu.
11 ye — go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it], for there is nothing of your service diminished.'
Mʼmalo mwake mupite mukadzimwetere udzu kulikonse kumene mungawupeze. Komabe ntchito yanu sichepetsedwa.’”
12 And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Kotero anthuwo anamwazikana mʼdziko lonse la Igupto kukamweta udzu.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, 'Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.'
Akapitawo a thangata aja anawafulumiza anthu aja nati, “Malizani kugwira ntchito yanu ya tsiku ndi tsiku monga mmene zinalili pamene munkapatsidwa udzu.”
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, 'Wherefore have ye not completed your portion in making brick as heretofore, both yesterday and to-day?'
Akapitawo a thangata a Farao ankawamenya oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli aja nawapanikiza kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani lero simunawumbe chiwerengero chovomerezeka cha njerwa monga chakale chija?”
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry unto Pharaoh, saying, 'Why dost thou thus to thy servants?
Pamenepo oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli aja anapita kukadandaula kwa Farao kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mwachitira antchito anu zotere?
16 Straw is not given to thy servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and lo, thy servants are smitten — and thy people hath sinned.'
Antchito anu sakupatsidwa udzu, komabe akutiwuza kuti, ‘Umbani njerwa!’ Antchito anu akumenyedwa, koma cholakwa sichili ndi anthu anu.”
17 And he saith, 'Remiss — ye are remiss, therefore ye are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah;
Farao anati, “Ulesi, inu ndinu alesi! Nʼchifukwa chake mukumanena kuti, ‘Mutilole tipite kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.’
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the measure of bricks ye do give.'
Pitani tsopano kuntchito. Simudzapatsidwanso udzu komabe muyenera kuwumba muyeso wanu wovomerezeka wa njerwa.”
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, 'Ye do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.'
Oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli anazindikira kuti ali pa mavuto pamene anawuzidwa kuti, “Musachepetse chiwerengero cha njerwa chimene muyenera kuwumba tsiku lililonse.”
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them, in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Atachoka pamaso pa Farao, anakumana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni akuwadikira,
21 and say unto them, 'Jehovah look upon you, and judge, because ye have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants — to give a sword into their hand to slay us.'
ndipo iwo anati, “Yehova akupenyeni ndi kukuweruzani popeza mwachititsa Farao ndi nduna zake kuti anyansidwe nafe ndipo mwayika lupanga mʼmanja mwawo kuti atiphe.”
22 And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Lord, why hast Thou done evil to this people? why [is] this? — Thou hast sent me!
Mose anabwerera kwa Yehova ndipo anati, “Chonde Ambuye, chifukwa chiyani mukuzunza anthu anu? Kodi munanditumira zimenezi?
23 and since I have come unto Pharaoh, to speak in Thy name, he hath done evil to this people, and Thou hast not at all delivered Thy people.'
Chipitireni changa kwa Farao kukamuyankhula mʼdzina lanu, iye wakhala akuzunza anthuwa, ndipo inu simunawapulumutse konse anthu anu.”
