Exodus 5
1 And after that, Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Let my people go so that they may keep a feast to me in the waste land.
Na Moses ac Aaron som nu yurin tokosra Egypt ac fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘Fuhlela mwet luk in som, tuh elos fah ku in oru sie kufwa in akfulatyeyu yen mwesis.’”
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, to whose voice I am to give ear and let Israel go? I have no knowledge of the Lord and I will not let Israel go.
Tokosra el kouyak ac fahk, “Su LEUM GOD? Efu ku ngan lohngol ac fuhlela mwet Israel in som? Nga tia etu ke LEUM GOD, ac nga fah tia lela mwet Israel in som.”
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God, so that he may not send death on us by disease or the sword.
Moses ac Aaron topkol, “God lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut fin tia oru, El ac fah unikuti ke mas ku ke mweun.”
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people away from their work? get back to your work.
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron, “Efu komtal ku nunku in tulokinya orekma lun mwet uh? Mwet kohs ingan in folokla orekma!
5 And Pharaoh said, Truly, the people of the land are increasing in number, and you are keeping them back from their work.
Kowos arulana pus liki mwet Egypt uh, a inge kowos lungse mongla, tia orekma!”
6 The same day Pharaoh gave orders to the overseers and those who were responsible for the work, saying,
Ke len sacna, tokosra el sapkin mwet Egypt su liyaung mwet kohs, ac mwet Israel su mwet kol lalos
7 Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.
in tia sifil sang mah pao nu sin mwet Israel in orek brick kac, a elos in sifacna som suk.
8 But see that they make the same number of bricks as before, and no less: for they have no love for work; and so they are crying out and saying, Let us go and make an offering to our God.
Tusruktu elos in oru na pisen brick ma elos muta oru meet ah — in tia pueni. El fahk, “Srikla orekma itukyang nu selos an, pa sis elos kwafe na sik nga in fuhlelosla in som orek kisa nu sin God lalos uh!
9 Give the men harder work, and see that they do it; let them not give attention to false words.
Sang orekma lalos an in upa liki meet ah, ac oru elos in kafofo, tuh in wangin pacl lalos in muta porongo kas kikiap inge.”
10 And the overseers of the people and their responsible men went out and said to the people, Pharaoh says, I will give you no more dry stems.
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs ac mwet Israel su kol orekma lalos elos som ac fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Tokosra el fahk mu el ac tia sifilpa supu mah pao nu suwos.
11 Go yourselves and get dry stems wherever you are able; for your work is not to be any less.
El mu kowos in sifacna som eis yen na kowos ku in konauk we, tusruk pisen brick kowos ac oru an in pisa se na meet ah.”
12 So the people were sent in all directions through the land of Egypt to get dry grass for stems.
Ouinge mwet uh fahsrelik yen nukewa fin acn Egypt sukok mah pao nu ke brick.
13 And the overseers went on driving them and saying, Do your full day's work as before when there were dry stems for you.
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos srike na in kalyaelos in oru na pisen brick sac, oana ke elos tuh orala ke pacl ma itukyang mah pao nu selos.
14 And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?
Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos sringil mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel, su elos srisrngiya in liyaung orekma uh. Elos kouyak ac siyuk, “Efu komtal ku tia oru na pisen brick se ma komtal oru meet ah?”
15 Then the responsible men of the children of Israel came to Pharaoh, protesting and saying, Why are you acting in this way to your servants?
Na mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Efu tokosra ku oru ange nu sesr?
16 They give us no dry stems and they say to us, Make bricks: and they give your servants blows; but it is your people who are in the wrong.
Tia ituku mah pao nu sesr, a srakna sapkinyuk kut in orek brick! Ac inge sringsring kut. Ma koluk inge ma lun mwet lom uh.”
17 But he said, You have no love for work: that is why you say, Let us go and make an offering to the Lord.
Tokosra el topuk, “Komtal alsrangesr ac tia lungse orekma, pa pwanang komtal siyuk ngan lela nu sumtal in som ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
18 Go now, get back to your work; no dry stems will be given to you, but you are to make the full number of bricks.
Folokla orekma! Wangin mah pao ac itukot nu sumtal, tuh kowos in oru na pisen brick sac.”
19 Then the responsible men of the children of Israel saw that they were purposing evil when they said, The number of bricks which you have to make every day will be no less than before.
Mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel akilenak lah ac arulana koluk nu selos, ke fwackyang tari elos in oru na pisen brick se ke len nukewa oana ke elos muta oru meet ah.
20 And they came face to face with Moses and Aaron, who were in their way when they came out from Pharaoh:
Ke elos illa, elos sonol Moses ac Aaron su tu soanelos.
21 And they said to them, May the Lord take note of you and be your judge; for you have given Pharaoh and his servants a bad opinion of us, putting a sword in their hands for our destruction.
Na elos fahk nu seltal, “LEUM GOD El liye ma komtal oru nu sesr inge ac El ac fah kai komtal mweyen ke sripomtal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal inge srungakut. Komtal sang in oasr sripe elos in unikuti.”
22 And Moses went back to the Lord and said, Lord, why have you done evil to this people? why have you sent me?
Na Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O Leum, efu kom ku oru koluk mwet lom? Efu kom ku supweyume nu inge?
23 For from the time when I came to Pharaoh to put your words before him, he has done evil to this people, and you have given them no help.
Ke na pacl se nga mutawauk fahsr nu yorol tokosra in kaskas nu sel Inem, el oru arulana koluk nu selos. Ac wanginna ma kom oru in kasrelos!”
