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;'

Apre sa, Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka fè yon fèt pou mwen nan dezè a.

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.'

Farawon an reponn: -Kilès ki Seyè a pou m' ta swiv lòd li, pou m' kite pèp Izrayèl la ale? Mwen pa konnen Seyè sa a. Mwen p'ap kite pèp Izrayèl la al ankenn kote.

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.'

Moyiz ak Arawon di l': -Bondye ebre yo te parèt devan nou. Tanpri, kite n al fè yon ti vwayaj nan dezè a. Lè n'a fin mache pandan twa jou, n'a rete pou n' touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou pa fè sa, l'a voye move maladi sou nou, osinon l'a fè nou mouri nan lagè.

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.'

Wa Lejip la di Moyiz ak Arawon: -Poukisa nou vle fè pèp la kite travay li? Tounen nan travay nou!

5 Pharaoh also saith, 'Lo, numerous now [is] the people of the land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!'

Farawon an di ankò: -Gade. Nou wè jan pèp sa a vin pi plis pase moun peyi a. Koulye a atò, nou ta vle pou yo kite travay yo?

6 And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,

Menm jou sa a, farawon an rele moun peyi Lejip ki te chèf kòve yo ansanm ak moun pèp Izrayèl ki te fòmann yo, li ba yo lòd sa a:

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;

-Pa janm bay moun sa yo pay ankò pou yo fè brik, jan nou te konn fè l' la. Se yo menm ki pou al ranmase pay yo bezwen.

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;

Men, se pou yo founi menm valè brik yo te konn bay anvan an, san manke yonn. Se yon bann parese yo ye. Se poutèt sa y'ap kriye, y'ap di: O wi, ann al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Bondye nou an.

9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.'

Fè yo travay pi rèd. Pa kite yo poze menm. Konsa yo p'ap gen tan pou yo koute tout radòt moun ap vin di yo.

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,

Chèf kòve yo ak fòmann yo vin di pèp la: -Men sa farawon an voye di nou: Li p'ap ban nou pay ankò.

11 ye — go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it], for there is nothing of your service diminished.'

Se nou menm ki pou al ranmase pay kote nou ka jwenn. Men, se toujou menm valè brik la pou nou bay.

12 And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,

Se konsa, pèp la gaye toupatou nan peyi Lejip ap chache zèb pou fè pay.

13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, 'Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.'

Chèf kòve yo te dèyè yo tout tan, yo t'ap di yo: -Se pou nou fè menm valè brik chak jou menm jan ak lè yo te konn ban nou pay la.

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?'

Chèf kòve farawon yo te mete kèk moun pèp Izrayèl pou sèvi fòmann. Ata fòmann sa yo te anba makak tou. Chèf kòve yo t'ap mande yo: -Poukisa ni ayè ni jòdi a, nou pa t' bay menm valè brik nou te konn fè anvan an?

15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry unto Pharaoh, saying, 'Why dost thou thus to thy servants?

Lè sa a, fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo t al plenyen bay farawon an. Yo di l': -Monwa, poukisa ou fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo sa?

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.'

Yo pa ban nou pay ankò. Atousa, se tout tan y'ap mande nou pou nou fè brik. Lèfini, yo mete nou anba makak. Men, se moun pa ou yo ki antò wi, monwa.

17 And he saith, 'Remiss — ye are remiss, therefore ye are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah;

Farawon an reponn yo: -Se yon bann parese nou ye. Se poutèt sa n'ap di: O wi, kite n al ofri bèt pou nou touye bay Seyè a.

18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the measure of bricks ye do give.'

Al nan pye travay nou, tande! Yo p'ap ban nou pay ankò. Degaje nou bay menm kantite brik la.

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.'

Fòmann yo ki te menm ras ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin wè yo te nan yon move sitiyasyon lè yo mande yo pou yo fè menm valè brik yo te konn fè a chak jou, san manke yonn.

20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them, in their coming out from Pharaoh,

Antan y'ap soti kay farawon an, yo kontre Moyiz ak Arawon ki t'ap tann yo.

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.'

Yo di yo: -Se pou Seyè a wè sa nou fè la a. Se pou l' pini nou. Paske se nou menm ki lakòz ni farawon an ni moun k'ap sèvi l' yo pa vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Nou mete yon nepe nan men yo pou yo fini ak pèp la.

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!

Lè sa a, Moyiz tounen al jwenn Seyè a ankò, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa w'ap maltrete pèp la konsa? Poukisa ou te voye m'?

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.'

Depi menm lè mwen t al bò kote farawon an pou m' pale avè l' pou ou a, se maltrete l'ap maltrete pèp ou a. Epi ou pa fè anyen pou delivre pèp la.
