Eksodosy 5

1 Ary rehefa afaka izany, Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin’ i Farao ka niteny taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Alefaso ny oloko mba hanao andro firavoravoana ho Ahy any an-efitra.

And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.

2 Fa hoy Farao: Iza moa Jehovah, no hekeko teny handefasako ny Isiraely? tsy fantatro izay Jehovah, ka tsy halefako ny Isiraely.

And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

3 Ary hoy izy roa lahy: Andriamanitry ny Hebreo efa nihaona taminay; koa trarantitra ianao, aoka handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; fandrao Izy hamely anay amin’ ny areti-mandringana, na amin’ ny sabatra.

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

4 Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta taminy: Nahoana ianareo, ry Mosesy sy Arona, no manaketraka ny olona amin’ ny asany? mandehana any amin’ ny fanompoanareo mafy.

And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, hinder the people from their works; go you to your burdens.

5 Ary hoy koa Farao: Indro, efa maro ankehitriny ny olona eto amin’ ny tany, ka ianareo mampitsahatra azy amin’ ny fanompoany mafy.

And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

6 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Farao nandidy ny mpampiasa ny olona mbamin’ ny mpifehy azy ka nanao hoe:

And Pharaoh commanded the same day the task-masters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 Aza omenareo mololo hanaovana biriky tahaka ny teo aloha intsony ny olona; fa izy ihany no aoka handeha hanangona mololo ho azy.

Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves.

8 Kanefa ny isan’ ny biriky izay fanaony teo aloha dia mbola hampanaovinareo azy ihany, fa aza ahenanareo; fa malaina izy, koa izany no itarainany hoe: Aoka izahay handeha hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ Andriamanitray.

And the number of the bricks which they made heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [aught] thereof; for they are idle: therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

9 Hamafio ny fanompoan’ ny olona mba hifotorany amin’ izany, fa aza avela hihaino izay lainga foana izy.

Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein: and let them not regard vain words.

10 Dia nivoaka ny mpampiasa ny olona mbamin’ ny mpifehy azy ka niteny tamin’ ny olona nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Farao: Izaho tsy mba hanome mololo anareo intsony;

And the task-masters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

11 fa mandehana ianareo ka manangona mololo any amin’ izay hahitanareo, satria tsy hahena ny fanompoanareo na dia kely akory aza.

Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.

12 Dia niely eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra ny olona mba hifako vodivary ho solon’ ny mololo.

So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of straw.

13 Ary ny mpampiasa nandodona azy ka nanao hoe: Vitao ny asanareo, izay anjara-fanompoana isan’ andro, tahaka ny fony mbola nisy mololo ihany.

And the task-masters hastened [them], saying, Fulfill your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.

14 Ary ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay notendren’ ny mpampiasa avy amin’ i Farao mba hifehy azy, dia nokapohina ka nanontaniana hoe: Ahoana no tsy nahavitanareo ny anjaranareo tamin’ ny fanaovana ny biriky omaly sy androany, tahaka ny teo aloha?

And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's task-masters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?

15 Dia nankao amin’ i Farao ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitaraina taminy hoe: Nahoana no manao toy izany amin’ ny mpanomponao ianao?

Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dealest thou thus with thy servants?

16 Tsy omena mololo tsinona izahay mpanomponao, nefa mbola asaina manao biriky ihany; ary, indreto, izahay mpanomponao no kapohina, ka manota ny vahoakanao.

There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thy own people.

17 Fa hoy Farao: Malaina dia malaina ianareo, ka izany no anaovanareo hoe: Aoka handeha izahay hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.

But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say, Let us go, [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.

18 Ary ankehitriny, mandehana, ataovy izay fanompoanareo, fa tsy hisy mololo homena anareo; nefa ny anjara-birikinareo dia mbola hatolotrareo ihany.

Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.

19 Ary hitan’ ny mpifehy ny Zanak’ Isiraely fa efa azon-doza izy noho ny nanaovana hoe: Tsy hahenanareo ny isan’ ny birikinareo amin’ ny anjara-fanompoana isan’ andro.

And the officers of the children of Israel saw [that] they [were] in evil [case], after it was said, Ye shall not diminish [aught] from your bricks of your daily task.

20 Ary izy ireo dia nihaona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona, izay nijanona niandry azy, raha avy tany amin’ i Farao izy;

And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

21 dia hoy izy tamin’ izy roa lahy: Jehovah anie hijery sy hitsara anareo, satria efa nataonareo mangidy hoditra eo anatrehan’ i Farao sy eo anatrehan’ ny mpanompony izahay, ka nasianareo sabatra eo an-tànany hamonoany anay.

And they said to them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hands to slay us.

22 Ary Mosesy niverina ho any amin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, nahoana no nahatonga loza tamin’ ity firenena ity Hianao? nahoana re no naniraka ahy Hianao?

And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Lord, why hast thou [so] ill treated this people? why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?

23 Fa hatrizay nankanesako tao amin’ i Farao mba hiteny amin’ ny anaranao izay, dia nahatonga loza tamin’ ity firenena ity izy; nefa tsy namonjy ny olonao akory Hianao.

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
