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;'

Ergasii Musee fi Aroon Faraʼoon bira dhaqanii, “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Akka inni gammoojjiitti ayyaana naa ayyaanessuuf saba koo gad dhiisi.’”

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.'

Faraʼoon immoo, “Akka ani isaaf ajajamee Israaʼelin gad dhiisuuf Waaqayyo kun eenyu? Ani Waaqayyo sana hin beeku; Israaʼelinis gad hin dhiisu” jedhe.

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.'

Isaanis akkana jedhan; “Waaqni Ibrootaa nutti dhufeera. Akka nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessinuuf gara gammoojjiitti karaa guyyaa sadii nuu eeyyami; akkas taʼuu baannaan inni dhaʼichaan yookaan goraadeedhaan nu dhaʼa.”

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.'

Mootiin Gibxi garuu, “Yaa Musee fi Aroon, isin maaliif saba kana hojii dhowwitu? Hojii keessanitti deebiʼaa!” isaaniin jedhe.

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

Faraʼoonis ittuma fufee, “Kunoo sabni biyyattii amma baayʼateera; isin immoo hojii isaan dhowwaa jirtu” jedhe.

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

Guyyuma sana Faraʼoon akkana jedhee itti gaafatamtoota hojiitii fi qondaaltota sabaa ajaje;

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;

“Siʼachi xuubii hojjechuudhaaf saba kanaaf cidii hin kenninaa; isaan ofuma isaaniitii dhaqanii cidii haa barbaaddatan.

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;

Garuu akka isaan lakkoobsa xuubii kan duraan hojjechaa turan sana hojjetan godhaa; hamma isaanitti ramadame hin hirʼisinaa. Isaan dhibaaʼoo dha; kanaafuu, ‘Nu dhaqnee Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessina’ jedhanii iyyaa jiru.

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

Akka isaan hojiidhaan qabamanii dubbii sobaatiif xiyyeeffannoo hin kennineef hojii isaanitti cimsaa.”

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,

Itti gaafatamtoonni hojiitii fi qondaaltonni sabaa gad yaaʼanii saba sanaan akkana jedhan; “Faraʼoon akkana jedha: ‘Ani siʼachi cidii isinii hin kennu.

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

Lafa itti argachuu dandeessan dhaqaatii ofii keessanii cidii barbaaddadhaa; hojiin keessan garuu gonkumaa hin hirʼatu.’”

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

Sabni sun qooda cidii, haafa walitti qabachuuf jedhee biyya Gibxii guutuu keessa faffacaʼe.

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

Itti gaafatamtoonni sunis, “Isin hojii keessan kan guyyaa guyyaa akkuma yeroo cidiin ture sanaatti hojjedhaa raawwadhaa” jedhanii isaan jarjarsaa turan.

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?'

Israaʼeloonni qondaaltota hojii taʼan kanneen itti gaafatamtoota garboota Faraʼooniin muudamanis reebamanii, “Isin kaleessaa fi harʼa maaliif qooda xuubii kan akka hojjettaniif isinii ramadame sana akkuma duriitti hin guuttanne?” jedhamanii gaafatamaa turan.

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

Israaʼeloonni toʼattoota hojii taʼanis dhaqanii akkana jedhanii Faraʼoonitti iyyatan; “Ati maaliif tajaajiltoota kee akkas goota?

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.'

Cidiin tajaajiltoota keetiif hin kennamu; taʼus, ‘Xuubii hojjedhaa!’ nuun jedhan. Kunoo tajaajiltoonni kee reebamaa jiru; balleessaan garuu kanuma saba keetii ti.”

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

Faraʼoonis akkana jedhe; “Isin dhibaaʼoo dha; isin dhibaaʼoo dha! Kanaafuu isin, ‘Nu dhaqnee Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessina’ jettan.

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

Amma dhaqaatii hojjedhaa; cidiin isiniif hin kennamu; garuu xuubii isinitti ramadame hojjetanii guutuu qabdu.”

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.'

Israaʼeloonni toʼattoota hojii taʼan yommuu, “Isin lakkoobsa xuubii kan guyyaa guyyaatti akka hojjettaniif isin irraa eegamu sana hirʼisuu hin qabdan” jedhamee isaanitti himametti akka rakkina keessa seenan hubatan.

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

Yeroo Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanitti utuu Musee fi Aroon isaan eeganuu argatan;

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.'

isaanis, “Waan isin akka Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa nu xireeffatan gootanii akka isaan nu ajjeesaniif goraadee harka isaanii keessa keessaniif Waaqayyo isinitti haa ilaalu; isinitti haa murus!” jedhan.

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!

Museen gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Gooftaa, ati maaliif saba kanatti rakkina fidde? Ati kanaaf na ergitee?

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.'

Gaafa ani maqaa keetiin dubbachuuf Faraʼoon bira dhaqee jalqabee inni saba keetti rakkinuma fidaa jira; ati garuu gonkumaa saba kee hin furre.”
