Exodus 5

1 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.

And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

2 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.

And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.

3 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.

And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

4 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.

And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

5 And he said Pharaoh here! [is] many now [the] people of the land and you have caused to cease them from forced labor their.

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

6 And he commanded Pharaoh on the day that the taskmasters over the people and foremen its saying.

And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 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.

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

8 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.

And the number of the bricks, which they did make 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 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.

Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words.

10 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.

And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

11 You go acquire for yourselves straw from where you will find [it] for not [is] diminished from labor your anything.

Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.

12 And it scattered the people in all [the] land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.

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

13 And the taskmasters [were] pressing [them] saying complete work your a matter of a day in day its just as when was the straw.

And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.

14 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.

And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?

15 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.

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

16 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.

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

17 And he said [are] idle you idle there-fore you [are] saying let us go let us sacrifice to Yahweh.

But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.

18 And now go work and straw not it will be given to you and [the] measurement of bricks you will give.

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

19 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.

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

20 And they met Moses and Aaron standing to meet them when came out they from with Pharaoh.

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

21 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.

and they said unto them, Jehovah 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 hand to slay us.

22 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.

And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

23 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.

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