Pukaana 5
1 MAHOPE iho, hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, a hai aku la ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i ahaaina lakou na'u ma ka waonahele.
After this Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says, ‘Let my people go so they can hold a religious festival for me in the desert.’”
2 I mai la o Parao, Owai la o Iehova i hoolohe ai au i kona leo, e hookuu aku ai i ka Iseraela? Aole au i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi au e hookuu aku i ka Iseraela.
“Who is this ‘Lord’ that I should listen to his request to let Israel go?” Pharaoh replied. “I don't know the Lord and I certainly won't let Israel leave!”
3 I aku la laua, ua halawai mai me makou ke Akua o ka poe Hebera; no ia mea, e hookuu oe ia makou e hele i ka waonahele, i kahi ekolu la hiki, e kaumaha aku ai na Iehova o ko makou Akua, o kau mai ia maluna o makou i ke ahulau a me ka pahikaua.
“The God of the Hebrews came to us,” they added. “Please allow us to go a three days journey into the desert and offer sacrifices to the Lord our God. Otherwise he'll kill us by disease or by the sword.”
4 I mai la ke alii o Aigupita ia laua, No ke aha la olua, e Mose a me Aarona, e hooki nei i kanaka i ka lakou hana? E hoi oukou ma ko oukou luhi.
“Moses and Aaron, why are you trying to take people away from their assigned labor?” Pharaoh asked. “Get back to work!” he ordered.
5 Olelo mai la o Parao, Aia hoi, ua nui loa na kanaka o ka aina, a ke hooki nei olua ia lakou i ko lakou luhi.
“Look here,” he went on. “There are many of your people here in our country and you are preventing them from doing their assigned labor.”
6 Ia la no, kauoha mai la o Parao i na lunahooluhi o na kanaka; a me ko lakou mau luna iho, i mai la,
That very day he ordered the slave drivers and those in charge of the people:
7 Mai haawi hou aku i ka mauu i kanaka no na pohakulepo, e like mamua. E hele lakou e hoiliili i ka lakou mauu.
“Don't give them any more straw to make bricks like before. Have them go and collect the straw themselves.
8 A o ka nui o na pohakulepo a lakou i hana'i mamua, pela oukou e haawi hou aku ai ia lakou; mai hoemi iki ia mea; no ka mea, ua molowa lakou: no ia mea, ke uwe mai nei lakou, i ka i ana mai, E hele makou e kaumaha aku na ko makou Akua.
But still make them produce the same quantity of bricks as before. They're lazy people—that's why they're calling out, asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to our god.
9 E kau i ka hana kaumaha maluna o na kanaka, i hana aku ai lakou ilaila, i hoolohe ole ai hoi lakou i na olelo wahahee.
Make their work harder so they can get on with it and not pay any attention to all these lies!”
10 Hele aku la na lunahooluhi o na kanaka, a me ko lakou poe luna iho, olelo ae la i kanaka, i ae la, Ke i mai nei o Parao penei, Aole au e haawi aku i mauu ia oukou.
So the slave drivers and those in charge went out and told the people, “This is what Pharaoh has ordered: ‘I won't give you any more straw.
11 E hele oukou, e kii i mauu na oukou iho i kahi e loaa'i ia oukou; no ka mea, aole loa e hoemi iki ia ka oukou mea hana.
Go and get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, because your work quota won't be reduced.”
12 No ia mea, auwana wale aku no na kanaka ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita, e hoiliili i ka opala i mauu.
So the people went all over Egypt collecting stubble for straw.
13 Wikiwiki mai la na lunahooluhi, i mai la ia lakou, E hoolawa i ka oukou hana, i ka hana o kela la o keia la, e like me ka wa mauu.
The slave drivers kept on forcing them, saying, “You still have to do the same work as you did when you had straw provided!”
14 A o na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o lakou e na lunahooluhi o Parao, ua hahauia mai lakou, me ka ninauia mai, No ke aha la oukou i hoolawa ole ai i ka oukou hana i na pohakulepo inehinei, a i keia la hoi, e like mamua?
They beat the Israelite supervisors they had put in charge, shouting at them, “Why haven't you met your quota of bricks as you did before?”
15 Hele aku la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, a uwe aku la ia Parao, i aku la, No ke aha la oe e hana mai ai pela i kau poe kauwa nei?
The Israelite supervisors went to Pharaoh to complain, saying, “Why are you treating us your servants like this?
16 Aole i haawiia mai ka mauu i kau poe kauwa, a ke i mai nei lakou ia makou, E hana oukou i na pohakulepo: aia hoi, ua hahauia mai nei kau poe kauwa: aka, no kou poe kanaka iho ka hewa.
You don't give us any straw but your slave drivers demand that we make bricks, and they beat us! Your people are treating us badly!”
17 I mai la kela, Ua palela oukou, ua palela oukou; no ia mea, ke olelo mai nei oukou, E hookuu mai oe ia makou e hele, e kaumaha aku na Iehova.
“No, you're just lazy, lazy people!” Pharaoh replied. “That's why you keep on asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.’
18 E hele hoi oukou pela e hana, no ka mea, aole loa e haawiia'ku ka mauu na oukou, aka, e hoolawa oukou i ka hana o na pohakulepo.
Now get out of here and go back to work! You won't be given any straw but you'll still have to produce the full quota of bricks!”
19 Ike iho la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, ua nui ko lakou pilikia, i ka i ana mai, Mai hoemi iki oukou i na pohakulepo i ka oukou hana ana i kela la i keia la.
The Israelite supervisors realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily production of bricks.”
20 Halawai lakou me Mose laua o Aarona, e ku ana ma ke alanui i ko lakou hele ana mai, mai o Parao mai.
They went over to Moses and Aaron who were waiting for them after their meeting with Pharaoh,
21 I ae la lakou ia laua, E nana mai o Iehova ia olua, a e hoahewa mai; no ka mea, ua hoolilo olua i ko makou ala i mea pilau imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa, i ka haawi ana i ka pahikaua maloko o ko lakou lima, e pepehi mai ai ia makou.
and said, “May the Lord see what you have done and judge you accordingly! You have made us like a bad smell to Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword in their hands to kill us!”
22 Hoi hou aku la o Mose io Iehova la, i aku la ia ia, E ka Haku e, no ke aha la oe i hana ino mai ai i keia poe kanaka? No ke aha la oe i hoouna mai nei ia'u?
Moses went back to the Lord and complained, “Why have you caused all this trouble for your own people, Lord? Was this why you sent me?
23 No ka mea, mai ka manawa a'u i hele aku ai io Parao la e olelo aku ma kou inoa, ua hana ino mai kela i keia poe kanaka, aole hoi oe i hookuu iki mai i kou poe kanaka.
Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak for you, he has been even harder on your people, and you haven't done anything to save them!”
