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 these things happened, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so they can have a festival for me in the wilderness.'”
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.
Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh? Why should I listen to his voice and let Israel go? I do not know Yahweh; moreover, I will not let Israel 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 said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to Yahweh our God so that he does not attack us with plague or with 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.
But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people from their work? Go back to your 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.
He also said, “There are now many people in our land, and you are making them stop their work.”
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,
On that same day, Pharaoh gave a command to the people's taskmasters and foremen. He said,
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.
“Unlike before, you must no longer give the people straw to make bricks. Let them go 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.
However, you must still demand from them the same number of bricks as they made before. Do not accept any fewer, because they are lazy. That is why they are calling out and saying, 'Allow us to go and sacrifice 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.
Increase the workload for the men so that they keep at it and pay no more attention to deceptive words.”
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 people's taskmasters and foremen went out and informed the people. They said, “This is what Pharaoh says: 'I 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.
You yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it, but your workload will not 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 scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather 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 taskmasters kept urging them and saying, “Finish your work, just as when straw was given to you.”
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?
Pharaoh's taskmasters beat the Israelite foremen, those same men whom they had put in charge of the workers. The taskmasters kept asking them, “Why have you not produced all the bricks required of you, either yesterday and today, as you used to do in the past?”
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?
So the Israelite foremen came to Pharaoh and cried out to him. They said, “Why are you treating your servants 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.
No straw is being given to your servants anymore, but they are still telling us, 'Make bricks!' We, your servants, are even beaten now, but it is the fault of your own people.”
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 Pharaoh said, “You are lazy! You are lazy! You say, 'Allow us to go sacrifice 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 now go back to work. No more straw will be given to you, but you must still make 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 Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily number 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 met Moses and Aaron, who were standing outside the palace, as they went away from 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.
They said to Moses and Aaron, “May Yahweh look at you and punish you, because you have made us offensive in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. You have put a sword in their hand 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 Yahweh and said, “Lord, why have you caused trouble for this people? Why did you send me in the first place?
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 came to Pharaoh to speak to him in your name, he has caused trouble for this people, and you have not set your people free at all.”
