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.
Then Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and [one of them/us] said, “Yahweh God, whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says this [to you]: ‘Let my people go to the desert, in order that they may have a feast to [honor] me!’”
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.
But the king said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I pay attention to what he says and let the Israeli [people] [MTY] go? I do not know Yahweh! And furthermore, I will not let the Israeli [people] go!”
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.
They/we replied, “Yahweh God, the one we Hebrews [worship], has (revealed himself/appeared) to us [and told us what to tell you]. So we ask you to [please] let us go on a three day journey into the desert. We must offer sacrifices to Yahweh God [there]. [If we do] not do that, he will cause us to die [IDM] from diseases or from attacks [by our enemies] [MTY].”
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.
But the king of Egypt said to them/us, “Moses and Aaron, (stop trying to keep the Israeli people from working/why are you preventing the Israeli people from working?) [RHQ] [Tell those slaves] to return to work!”
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.
The king also said, “Listen [to me! You] people [who now live] in this land are now [more] numerous, and you want them [to stop working and] rest!”
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 same day the king commanded the Egyptian slave bosses and the [Israeli] men supervising the slaves,
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.
“Do not continue to give the [Israeli] people straw for making bricks, as you have done previously. Make them go [into the fields] and gather straw for 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 require them to make the same number of bricks that they did before. Do not decrease the number at all. They (are lazy/do not have enough work to do). That is the reason they are asking me to let them go [into the desert] to offer sacrifices to their 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.
Force the men to work harder, so that they will not [have time] to listen to lies [from their leaders]!”
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 bosses and supervisors of the slaves went to where the [Israeli] people were and said to them, “The king has said that he will no longer give you any 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.
[So] you yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it. But you must still keep working to make the same number of bricks as before.” [LIT]
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 Israeli people went all over Egypt to find 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 bosses kept telling them insistently, “Finish the work you are required to do each day, [making the same amount of bricks] as you did [before, when we gave you] straw!”
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?
[When they were not able to do that], the slave bosses had the [Israeli supervisors] beaten [with sticks], and they asked them, “Why have [all the men you are supervising] not been able to make [the same number] of bricks today/now as [they did] before [RHQ]?”
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?
Then the Israeli supervisors went to the king and complained, saying “[Your Majesty], why are you treating us this way?
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.
[Now] they are not giving us any straw [for making bricks], but they keep commanding us to make bricks. And now sometimes they beat us. But it is the fault of your own slave bosses [that we cannot make as many bricks as before]!”
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.
But the king said, “You are lazy and do not [want to] work! That is why you keep saying, ‘Allow us to go [to the desert] and offer sacrifices to Yahweh.’
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.
So go and get back to work! [We] are not going to give you any straw, but you must keep making the same number 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 Israeli supervisors realized that they were in a difficult situation, because they had been told, “We are not going to decrease the number of bricks [you must make] each day.”
20 Halawai lakou me Mose laua o Aarona, e ku ana ma ke alanui i ko lakou hele ana mai, mai o Parao mai.
As they left the king’s [palace], they met Aaron and Moses/me, who were waiting for them [there].
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.
They said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Yahweh has seen [what] you two [have done] He will punish you [MTY], because you have caused the king and his officials to despise us! You have given them an excuse [MTY] 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/I left them and prayed to Yahweh again, saying, “O Yahweh, why have you caused all these evil things to happen to your people [RHQ]? And why did you send me [here] [RHQ]?
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 the king and told him what you told me to say [MTY], he has treated your people very cruelly, and you have not done anything to help/rescue them!”
