Fitowa 5

1 Daga bisani sai Musa da Haruna suka tafi wurin Fir’auna suka ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Bari mutanena su tafi domin su yi mini biki a hamada.’”

And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.

2 Fir’auna ya ce, “Wane ne Ubangiji da zan yi biyayya da shi, har in bar Isra’ila su tafi? Ban san Ubangiji ba, kuma ba zan bar Isra’ila su tafi ba.”

Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!

3 Sai suka ce, “Allah na Ibraniyawa ya sadu da mu. Yanzu bari mu ɗauki tafiyar kwana uku cikin hamada domin mu miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji Allahnmu, don kada yă buga mu da annoba ko takobi.”

And they said, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us, —let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.

4 Amma sarkin Masar ya ce wa, “Musa da Haruna, don me kuke hana mutane yin aikinsu? Ku koma wurin aikinku!”

And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.

5 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce, “Ga shi mutane sun yi yawa a ƙasar Masar, ku kuma yanzu kuna so ku hana su yin aiki.”

And Pharaoh said, Lo! many—now, are the people of the land, —and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?

6 A wannan rana Fir’auna ya ba da wannan umarni wa shugabannin masu gandu,

So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers—saying:

7 “Kada ku ƙara ba wa mutanen ciyawar tattaka domin su yi tubula, bari su tafi su tattara tattaka da kansu.

Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:

8 Ku kuma bukace su su yi tubula daidai yawan tubalin da suka saba yi, kada ku rage. Ragwaye ne, shi ya sa suke kuka cewa, ‘Bari mu tafi mu yi hadaya ga Allahnmu.’

Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, —for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.

9 Ku sa waɗannan mutane su yi aiki mai tsanani sosai, don kada su sami zarafin kasa kunne ga maganganun ƙarya.”

The service must be made heavy on the men that they may labour on it, —and let them not pay regard to words of falsehood.

10 Sai shugabannin masu aikin gandu suka fita suka gaya wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Ga abin da Fir’auna ya ce, ‘Ba zan ƙara ba ku tattaka ba.

Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people, —saying, —Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,

11 Ku tafi ku nemo wa kanku tattaka duk inda za ku samu, amma ba za a rage aikinku ba ko kaɗan.’”

Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, —yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.

12 Saboda haka mutane suka warwatsu ko’ina a Masar domin tattara bunnun da za su yi amfani da su, maimakon tattaka.

So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, —to gather stubble for straw:

13 Shugabannin gandu suka dinga matsa musu suna cewa, “Ku cika aikin da aka bukace ku na kowace rana kamar yadda kuke yi sa’ad da kuke da tattaka.”

the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, —Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.

14 Manyan Isra’ilawa waɗanda shugabannin gandun Fir’auna suka naɗa, suka sha dūka, aka kuma yi musu tambayoyi ana cewa, “Don me ba ku cika yawan tubula na jiya da na yau kamar yadda kuka saba ba?”

Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?

15 Sai manyan Isra’ila masu bi da aikin gandu suka tafi wurin Fir’auna suka yi roƙo suna cewa, “Don me kake yi wa bayinka haka?

Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?

16 Ba a ba wa bayinka tattaka, duk da haka ana ce mana, ‘Ku yi tubula!’ Ana wa bayinka dūka, amma fa laifin na mutanenka ne.”

No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, —they keep saying to us—make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten—thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.

17 Fir’auna ya ce, “Ku ragwaye ne! Shi ya sa kuke cewa, ‘Bari mu tafi mu yi hadaya wa Ubangiji.’

But he said: Idle, ye are—idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.

18 Ku ɓace yanzu daga nan, ku koma wurin aikinku. Ba za a ba ku tattaka ba, kuma dole ku fid da tubula kamar yadda kuka saba.”

Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, —yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.

19 Manyan Isra’ilawa da suke bi da aikin gandu suka gane cewa sun shiga uku, sa’ad da aka gaya musu, “Ba za ku rage yawan tubulan da aka bukace ku ku yi na kowace rana ba.”

Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, —Ye shall not diminish from your bricks—the task of a day, in its day

20 Da suka bar Fir’auna, sai suka sadu da Musa da Haruna suna jira su sadu da su,

So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, —as they came forth from Pharaoh;

21 sai suka ce, “Bari Ubangiji yă duba, yă kuma hukunta ku! Kun maishe mu abin ƙyama ga Fir’auna da bayinsa, kuka kuma sa musu takobi a hannunsu don su kashe mu.”

and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you and judge, —in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.

22 Musa ya koma wurin Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, don me ka kawo wahala a kan mutanen nan? Abin da ya sa ka aiko ni ke nan?

And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, —O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?

23 Gama tun da na tafi wurin Fir’auna, na yi masa magana da sunanka, sai ya fara gasa wa mutanen nan azaba, ba ka kuma ceci mutanenka.”

seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,
