< Exodus 5 >

1 And afterwards, Moses and Aaron went in and said unto Pharaoh, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.
MAHOPE iho, hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, a hai aku la ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i ahaaina lakou na'u ma ka waonahele.
2 Then said Pharaoh, Who is Yahweh that I should hearken to his voice, to let Israel go? I know not Yahweh, and certainly. Israel, will I not let go!
I mai la o Parao, Owai la o Iehova i hoolohe ai au i kona leo, e hookuu aku ai i ka Iseraela? Aole au i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi au e hookuu aku i ka Iseraela.
3 And they said, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us, —let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.
I aku la laua, ua halawai mai me makou ke Akua o ka poe Hebera; no ia mea, e hookuu oe ia makou e hele i ka waonahele, i kahi ekolu la hiki, e kaumaha aku ai na Iehova o ko makou Akua, o kau mai ia maluna o makou i ke ahulau a me ka pahikaua.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore O Moses and Aaron should ye loose the people from their works? Get you to your burdens.
I mai la ke alii o Aigupita ia laua, No ke aha la olua, e Mose a me Aarona, e hooki nei i kanaka i ka lakou hana? E hoi oukou ma ko oukou luhi.
5 And Pharaoh said, Lo! many—now, are the people of the land, —and are ye to make them rest from their burdens?
Olelo mai la o Parao, Aia hoi, ua nui loa na kanaka o ka aina, a ke hooki nei olua ia lakou i ko lakou luhi.
6 So then Pharaoh gave command on that day, unto the taskmasters over the people and unto their overseers—saying:
Ia la no, kauoha mai la o Parao i na lunahooluhi o na kanaka; a me ko lakou mau luna iho, i mai la,
7 Ye shall no more give straw unto the people, for making the bricks as heretofore: Let them, go, themselves, so shall they gather for themselves straw:
Mai haawi hou aku i ka mauu i kanaka no na pohakulepo, e like mamua. E hele lakou e hoiliili i ka lakou mauu.
8 Nevertheless, the fixed number of bricks, which they have been making heretofore, shall ye lay upon them, ye shall not diminish therefrom, —for idle, they are, on this account, it is that they are making an outcry, saying, We must go our way, we must sacrifice to our God.
A o ka nui o na pohakulepo a lakou i hana'i mamua, pela oukou e haawi hou aku ai ia lakou; mai hoemi iki ia mea; no ka mea, ua molowa lakou: no ia mea, ke uwe mai nei lakou, i ka i ana mai, E hele makou e kaumaha aku na ko makou Akua.
9 The service must be made heavy on the men that they may labour on it, —and let them not pay regard to words of falsehood.
E kau i ka hana kaumaha maluna o na kanaka, i hana aku ai lakou ilaila, i hoolohe ole ai hoi lakou i na olelo wahahee.
10 Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people, —saying, —Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,
Hele aku la na lunahooluhi o na kanaka, a me ko lakou poe luna iho, olelo ae la i kanaka, i ae la, Ke i mai nei o Parao penei, Aole au e haawi aku i mauu ia oukou.
11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find, —yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
E hele oukou, e kii i mauu na oukou iho i kahi e loaa'i ia oukou; no ka mea, aole loa e hoemi iki ia ka oukou mea hana.
12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt, —to gather stubble for straw:
No ia mea, auwana wale aku no na kanaka ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita, e hoiliili i ka opala i mauu.
13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying, —Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
Wikiwiki mai la na lunahooluhi, i mai la ia lakou, E hoolawa i ka oukou hana, i ka hana o kela la o keia la, e like me ka wa mauu.
14 Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?
A o na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, o ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o lakou e na lunahooluhi o Parao, ua hahauia mai lakou, me ka ninauia mai, No ke aha la oukou i hoolawa ole ai i ka oukou hana i na pohakulepo inehinei, a i keia la hoi, e like mamua?
15 Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?
Hele aku la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, a uwe aku la ia Parao, i aku la, No ke aha la oe e hana mai ai pela i kau poe kauwa nei?
16 No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks, —they keep saying to us—make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten—thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.
Aole i haawiia mai ka mauu i kau poe kauwa, a ke i mai nei lakou ia makou, E hana oukou i na pohakulepo: aia hoi, ua hahauia mai nei kau poe kauwa: aka, no kou poe kanaka iho ka hewa.
17 But he said: Idle, ye are—idle, on this account, are, ye, saying, We must take our journey, we must sacrifice to Yahweh.
I mai la kela, Ua palela oukou, ua palela oukou; no ia mea, ke olelo mai nei oukou, E hookuu mai oe ia makou e hele, e kaumaha aku na Iehova.
18 Now, therefore, go labour, but, straw, shall not be given you, —yet the tale of bricks, shall ye render.
E hele hoi oukou pela e hana, no ka mea, aole loa e haawiia'ku ka mauu na oukou, aka, e hoolawa oukou i ka hana o na pohakulepo.
19 Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said, —Ye shall not diminish from your bricks—the task of a day, in its day
Ike iho la na luna o na mamo a Iseraela, ua nui ko lakou pilikia, i ka i ana mai, Mai hoemi iki oukou i na pohakulepo i ka oukou hana ana i kela la i keia la.
20 So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them, —as they came forth from Pharaoh;
Halawai lakou me Mose laua o Aarona, e ku ana ma ke alanui i ko lakou hele ana mai, mai o Parao mai.
21 and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you and judge, —in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.
I ae la lakou ia laua, E nana mai o Iehova ia olua, a e hoahewa mai; no ka mea, ua hoolilo olua i ko makou ala i mea pilau imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa, i ka haawi ana i ka pahikaua maloko o ko lakou lima, e pepehi mai ai ia makou.
22 And Moses returned unto Yahweh and said, —O My Lord wherefore hast thou caused harm to this people? Wherefore now didst thou send me?
Hoi hou aku la o Mose io Iehova la, i aku la ia ia, E ka Haku e, no ke aha la oe i hana ino mai ai i keia poe kanaka? No ke aha la oe i hoouna mai nei ia'u?
23 seeing that from what time I came in unto Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done harm to this people, and thou hast not delivered, thy people,
No ka mea, mai ka manawa a'u i hele aku ai io Parao la e olelo aku ma kou inoa, ua hana ino mai kela i keia poe kanaka, aole hoi oe i hookuu iki mai i kou poe kanaka.
