Kutoka 5
1 Baada ya mambo haya kutokea, Musa na Aruni walienda kwa Farao na kumwambia, ““Hivi ndivyo Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli anasema: 'Waache watu wangu waende, ili wapate kunifanyia karamu jangwani.'”
And after they went Moses and Aaron and they said to Pharaoh thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel let go people my so they may celebrate a festival to me in the wilderness.
2 Farao akasema, “Yahwe ni nani? Kwa nini mimi nisikiliz sauti yake na kuwaacha Israeli waende? Mimi simjui Yahwe; na la zaidi, sitawaacha Israeli waende.”
And he said Pharaoh who? [is] Yahweh that I will listen to voice his by letting go Israel not I know Yahweh and also Israel not I will let go.
3 Wakasema, “Mungu wa Waebrania amekutana nasi. Tuache twende safari jangwani kwa siku tatu ili tutoe sadaka kwa Yahwe Mungu wetu ili asituadhibu kwa mapigo au kwa upanga.”
And they said [the] God of the Hebrews he has met with us let us go please a journey of three days in the wilderness and let us sacrifice to Yahweh God our lest he should fall on us with pestilence or with the sword.
4 Lakini mfalme wa Misri aliwaambia, “Musa na Aruni, kwa nini mnawatoa watu kazini mwao? Nendeni kazini kwenu.”
And he said to them [the] king of Egypt why? O Moses and Aaron are you causing to refrain the people from work its go to forced labor your.
5 Pia alisema, “Sasa kuna Waebrania wengi nchini mwetu, na ninyi mnawafanya waache kazi zao.”
And he said Pharaoh here! [is] many now [the] people of the land and you have caused to cease them from forced labor their.
6 Siku ile ile, Farao alitoa amri kwa wasimamizi na wanyapara wa wale watu. Akasema,
And he commanded Pharaoh on the day that the taskmasters over the people and foremen its saying.
7 “Tofauti na ilivyokuwa mwanzo, “Tofauti ni ilivyokuwa awali, msiwapatie tena watu majani ya kutengenezea tofali. Waacheni wao waende kujitafutia majani wenyewe.
Not you will repeat! to give straw to the people to make bricks the bricks as yesterday three days ago they let them go and they may gather for themselves straw.
8 Ingawa wanapaswa kuleta hesabu sawa ya matofali watakayotengeneza kama ilivyokuwa awali. Msipokee pungufu, kwasababu wao ni wavivu. Ndiyo maana wanapiga kelele na kusema, 'turuhusu tuende tukamtolee sadaka Mungu wetu.'
And [the] measurement of the bricks which they [were] making yesterday three days ago you will place on them not you will diminish from it for [are] idle they there-fore they [are] crying out saying let us go let us sacrifice to God our.
9 Waongezeeni kazi wanaume ili wasipate tena muda wa kusikiliza maneno ya upotoshaji.”
Let it be heavy the labor on the men so they may work in it and may not them pay attention to words of falsehood.
10 Kwa hiyo viongozi wa watu na waangalizi wao waliwajulisha watu. Walisema, “Hivi ndivyo farao amesema: 'Sitawapeni tena malighafi.
And they went out [the] taskmasters of the people and foremen its and they said to the people saying thus he says Pharaoh not I [am] giving to you straw.
11 Nyinyi wenyewe mtaenda kutafuta majani popote mtakapopata, lakini kazi zenu hazitapunguzwa.
You go acquire for yourselves straw from where you will find [it] for not [is] diminished from labor your anything.
12 Basi watu hao wakatawanyika katika nchi yote ya Misri ili wapate kukusanya matakataka badala ya majani.
And it scattered the people in all [the] land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.
13 Wasimamizi wao wakawahimiza na kusema, “Malizeni kazi zenu, sawa na wakati ule majani yalipokuwapo.”
And the taskmasters [were] pressing [them] saying complete work your a matter of a day in day its just as when was the straw.
14 Wanyapara wa Farao wakawapiga wasimamizi wa Waisraeli, watu walewale ambao waliwaweka kuwa wasimamizi wa watumishi. Wale Wanyapara wakakazana kuwauliza, “Kwanini hamjatimiza idadi ya matofali inayotakiwa kwenu, siku ya jana na hata leo kama ambavyo mlifanya siku za nyuma?”
And they were struck [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel whom they had appointed over them [the] taskmasters of Pharaoh saying why? not have you completed prescribed portion your by making bricks as yesterday three days ago neither yesterday nor this day.
15 Basi Wanyapara wa wana wa Israeli wakamwendea Farao na kumlilia. Walisema, “Kwanini unawatendea watumishi wako hivi?
And they went [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel and they cried out to Pharaoh saying why? are you doing thus to servants your.
16 Sisi watumishi wako hatupewi majani tena, lakini bado wanatuambia sisi, “Tengenezeni tofali!' Sisi watumwa wako tunapigwa sasa, lakini kosa hilo ni la watu wako.”
Straw not [is being] given to servants your and bricks [people are] saying to us make and there! servants your [are] being struck and you have sinned people your.
17 Lakini Farao akasema, “Ninyi ni wavivu! Wavivu ninyi! Ninyi mwasema, 'Turuhusu twende kumtolea Yahwe sadaka.'
And he said [are] idle you idle there-fore you [are] saying let us go let us sacrifice to Yahweh.
18 Sasa rudini kazini. Hamtapewa majani tena, lakini mnapaswa kutengeneza idadi ile ile ya matofali.”
And now go work and straw not it will be given to you and [the] measurement of bricks you will give.
19 Wanyapara wa wana wa Israeli wakagundua ya kuwa walikuwa kwenye shida kubwa mara walipoambiwa, “Hamtapunguza kamwe idadi ya matofali mnayotengeneza kila siku.”
And they saw [the] foremen of [the] people of Israel themselves in trouble saying not you will diminish from bricks your a matter of a day in day its.
20 Wakakutana na Musa na Haruni, waliokuwa wamesimama nje ya Ikulu wakati wanatoka kwa Farao.
And they met Moses and Aaron standing to meet them when came out they from with Pharaoh.
21 Wakawaambia Musa na Haruni, “Yahwe awatazame ninyi na kuwaadhibu, kwa sababu mmetufanya sisi kuonekana wabaya mbele ya Farao na watumishi wake. Mmetia upanga mikononi mwao ili watuue.”
And they said to them may he look Yahweh on you and may he judge that you have made stink odor our in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of servants his to put a sword in hand their to kill us.
22 Musa akarudi kwa BWANA na kumwambia, “Bwana, kwanini umewatenda mabaya watu hawa? Kwanini kunituma mimi kwanza?
And he returned Moses to Yahweh and he said O Lord why? have you done harm to the people this why? this did you send me.
23 Tangu nilipokuja kwa Farao kusema naye kwa jina lako, amewatenda mabaya watu hawa, wala hujawaokoa watu wako hata kidogo.”
And from then I went to Pharaoh to speak in name your he has done harm to the people this and certainly not you have delivered people your.
