Исход 5
1 И по сих вниде Моисей и Аарон к фараону и реша ему: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: отпусти люди Моя, да праздник сотворят Мне в пустыни.
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 Рече же фараон: кто есть, Егоже послушаю гласа, яко отпустити имам сыны Израилевы? Не вем Господа, и Израиля не отпущу.
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 И глаголют ему: Бог Еврейский призва нас: пойдем убо путем трех дний в пустыню, да пожрем Господу Богу нашему, да не когда случится нам смерть или убийство.
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 И рече им царь Египетский: вскую, Моисей и Аарон, развращаете люди моя от дел их? Идите кийждо вас на дела своя.
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 И рече фараон: се, ныне умножишася людие сии на земли: убо не дадим почити им от дел.
He also said, “There are now many people in our land, and you are making them stop their work.”
6 Заповеда же фараон приставником дел людских и книгочиям, глаголя:
On that same day, Pharaoh gave a command to the people's taskmasters and foremen. He said,
7 не ктому приложите даяти плев людем к плинфоделанию, якоже вчера и третияго дне: но сами да идут и собирают плевы себе:
“Unlike before, you must no longer give the people straw to make bricks. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 и урок плинфоделания, еже они творят, на кийждо день наложите им: не уемлите ничтоже: праздни бо суть: сего ради возопиша, глаголюще: да пойдем, и пожрем Богу нашему:
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 да отягчатся дела людий сих, и да пекутся о них, и не помыслят о словесех суетных.
Increase the workload for the men so that they keep at it and pay no more attention to deceptive words.”
10 Понуждаху же их приставницы и книгочия и глаголаху людем, рекуще: сия глаголет фараон: не ктому даю вам плев:
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 сами вы шедше собирайте себе плевы, идеже аще обрящете: ибо не будет уято от урока вашего ничтоже.
You yourselves must go and get straw wherever you can find it, but your workload will not be reduced.'”
12 И разыдошася людие по всей земли Египетстей собирати тростие на плевы.
So the people scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Приставницы же понуждаху их, глаголюще: совершайте дела ваша урочная на всяк день, якоже и егда плевы даяхом вам.
The taskmasters kept urging them and saying, “Finish your work, just as when straw was given to you.”
14 И биени быша книгочия рода сынов Израилевых, иже быша приставлени над ними от приставников фараоновых, глаголюще: почто не совершисте урока вашего плинфеннаго, якоже вчера и третияго дне, такожде и днесь?
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 Вшедше же книгочия сынов Израилевых, возопиша к фараону, глаголюще: почто ты тако твориши рабом твоим?
So the Israelite foremen came to Pharaoh and cried out to him. They said, “Why are you treating your servants this way?
16 Плев не дают рабом твоим, и плинфы нам глаголют творити: и се, раби твои мучими суть: обидиши убо людий твоих.
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 И рече им: праздни, праздни есте: сего ради глаголете: да идем, пожрем Богу нашему:
But Pharaoh said, “You are lazy! You are lazy! You say, 'Allow us to go sacrifice to Yahweh.'
18 ныне убо шедше делайте плев бо не дам вам, урок же делания плинфеннаго да отдаете.
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 Видяху же книгочии сынов Израилевых себе во злых, глаголюще: не оставите плинфоделания урочнаго дню.
The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily number of bricks.”
20 Сретоша же Моисеа и Аарона, идущих во сретение им, исходящым им от фараона,
They met Moses and Aaron, who were standing outside the palace, as they went away from Pharaoh.
21 и реша им: да видит Бог и судит вам, яко огнусисте дух ваш пред фараоном и пред рабы его, дати мечь в руки его убити нас.
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 Возвратися же Моисей ко Господу и рече: молютися, Господи, почто озлобил еси люди сия? И вскую послал еси мя?
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 И отнележе внидох к фараону, глаголати Твоим именем, (он) озлоби люди сия, и не избавил еси людий Твоих.
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.”
