Exodo 5
1 Kalpasan a napasamak dagitoy a banbanag, napan da Moisen ken Aaron kenni Faraon ket kinunada, “Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh, ti Dios iti Israel: 'Palubosam a pumanaw dagiti tattaok, tapno agfiestada para kaniak idiay let-ang.”'
After these things, Moses and Aaron entered, and they said to Pharaoh: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Release my people, so that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.”
2 Kinuna ni Faraon, “Siasino ni Yahweh? Apay koma a dumngegak iti timekna ken palubosak a pumanaw ti Israel? Saanko nga am-ammo ni Yahweh; maysa pay, saankonto a palubosan a pumanaw ti Israel.”
But he responded: “Who is the Lord, that I should listen to his voice and release Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not release Israel.”
3 Kinunada, “Nakisinnarak kadakami ti Dios dagiti Hebreo. Palubosannakami nga agdaliasat iti tallo-nga aldaw a mapan idiay let-ang ken agidaton kenni Yahweh a Diosmi tapno saan isuna a mangipatulod iti didigra wenno kampilan.”
And they said: “The God of the Hebrews has called us, so that we may go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God. Otherwise, a pestilence or the sword may befall us.”
4 Ngem kinuna ti ari iti Egipto kadakuada, “Moises ken Aaron, apay nga al-alaenyo dagiti tattao manipud kadagiti trabahoda? Agsublikayo kadagiti trabahoyo.”
The king of Egypt said to them: “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, distract the people from their works? Go back to your burdens.”
5 Kinunana pay, “Adu itan dagiti Hebreo iti dagatayo, ket paspasardengenyo ida kadagiti trabahoda.”
And Pharaoh said: “The people of the land are many. You see that the turmoil has increased: how much more if you give them rest from the works?”
6 Iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw, nangted ni Faraon iti bilin kadagiti kapatas ken mangiturturay kadagiti tattao. Kinunana,
Therefore, on the same day, he instructed the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:
7 “Saan a kasla idi, masapul a saanyon a pulos nga ikkan dagiti tattao iti garami a pagaramidda kadagiti ladrilio. Bay-anyo ida a mapan ken agurnong iti garami para kadakuada.
“You shall no longer give chaff to the people to form bricks, as before. But they may go and gather straw.
8 Nupay kasta, sapulenyo latta kadakuada iti isu met laeng a bilang dagiti ladrilio kas iti sigud nga inaramidda. Saanyo nga awaten ti basbassit, gapu ta nasadutda. Isu nga umaw-awag ken ibagbagada a, 'Palubosannakami a mapan agidaton iti Diosmi.'
And you shall impose upon them the same quota of bricks that they made before. Neither will you lessen anything, for they are idle, and therefore they cry out, saying: ‘We shall go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 Nayunanyo pay ti trabaho dagiti lallaki tapno ituloyda daytoy ken saanda a dumngeg kadagiti makaallilaw a sasao.”
They shall be oppressed with works, and these shall occupy them, so that they may not agree to lying words.”
10 Ket rimmuar ngarud dagiti kapatas ken mangiturturay kadagiti tattao ket pinakaamoanda dagiti tattao. Kinunada, “Daytoy ti imbaga ni Faraon: 'Saanakon a pulos a mangted kadakayo iti garami.
And so the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: “Thus says Pharaoh: I give you no chaff.
11 Masapul a dakayo ti mapan ken mangala iti garami iti sadinoman a pakabirukanyo iti daytoy, ngem saanto a makissayan ti trabahoyo.'”
Go, and collect it wherever you are able to find it. Neither will anything of your work be diminished.”
12 Isu a nagwaras dagiti tattao iti entero a daga ti Egipto tapno agurnong iti garami.
And the people were dispersed through all the land of Egypt, in order to gather straw.
13 Agtultuloy a dagdagdagen dagiti kapatas ida ket kunkunada, “Leppasenyo dagiti trabahoyo, kas idi mait-ited kadakayo ti garami.”
Likewise, the overseers of the works pressured them, saying: “Complete your work each day, just as you were accustomed to do before, when straw was given to you.”
14 Kinabil dagiti kapatas ni Faraon dagiti mangiturturay nga Israelita, dagiti isu met laeng a tattao nga inkabilda a mangimaton kadagiti trabahador. Intultuloy dagiti kapatas a nagsalsaludsod kadakuada, “Apay a saanyo pay a naaramid dagiti amin a ladrilio a naipaaramid kadakayo, uray idi kalman ken ita, kas ti ar-aramidenyo iti napalabas?”
And those who were first in the works of the sons of Israel were scourged by Pharaoh’s taskmasters, saying: “Why have you not filled the quota of bricks, neither yesterday, nor today, just as before?”
15 Isu a napan dagiti kapatas nga Israelita kenni Faraon ket nagpakaasida kenkuana, kinunada, “Apay a tratratoem iti kastoy a wagas dagiti adipenmo?
And the first among the sons of Israel came, and they cried out to Pharaoh, saying: “Why do act against your servants in this way?
16 Awanen a pulos ti garami a mait-ited kadagiti adipenmo, ngem ibagbagada latta kadakami nga, 'Agaramid iti ladrilio!' Dakami, dagiti adipenmo, ket makabkabil payen ita, ngem basol met laeng dagiti tattaom.”
Straw is not given to us, and yet the same amount of bricks is commanded. So we, your servants, are cut up by scourging, and injustice is done against your people.”
17 Ngem kinuna ni Faraon, “Nasadutkayo! Nasadutkayo! Ibagayo, 'Palubosannakami a mapan agidaton kenni Yahweh.'
And he said: “You are idle. And for this reason you say, ‘We shall go and sacrifice to the Lord.’
18 Isu nga ita agsublikayo kadagiti trabahoyo. Awanen ti maited kadakayo a garami, ngem masapul nga agaramidkayo latta iti isu met laeng a bilang dagiti ladrilio.”
Therefore, go and work. Straw will not be given to you, and you will return the customary number of bricks.”
19 Nakita dagiti kapatas nga Israelita nga adda dakkel a parikutda idi naibaga kadakuada, “Masapul a saanyo a kissayan ti bilang dagiti ladrilio.”
And the first among the sons of Israel saw themselves in a crisis, because it was said to them, “Nothing at all will be lessened from the bricks throughout each day.”
20 Nasabatda ni Moises ken Aaron, nga agtaktakder iti ruar ti palasio, bayat ti ipapanawda manipud kenni Faraon.
And they met with Moses and Aaron, who stood opposite them as they departed from Pharaoh.
21 Kinunada kenni Moises ken ni Aaron, “Makitanakayo koma ni Yahweh ket dusaennakayo, ta dakayo ti gapuna a kinaguranakami Faraon ken dagiti adipenna. Nangikabilkayo iti kampilan kadagiti imada tapno patayendakami”
And they said to them: “May the Lord see and judge, because you have caused our odor to become foul before Pharaoh and his servants, and you have provided him with a sword, in order to kill us.”
22 Nagsubli ni Moises kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Apo, apay a parparigatem dagitoy a tattao? Apay nga imbaonnak?
And Moses returned to the Lord, and he said: “Lord, why have you afflicted this people? Why have you sent me?
23 Nanipud idi napanak nakisao kenni Faraon iti naganmo, pinarigatna dagitoy a tattao, ket saanmo pulos a winaya-wayaan dagiti tattaom.”
For from the time that I entered to Pharaoh, so as to speak in your name, he has afflicted your people. And you have not freed them.”
