Otra Mozus 5
1 Un pēc tam Mozus un Ārons gāja un sacīja uz Faraonu: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: atlaid manus ļaudis, ka tie man svētkus tur tuksnesī.
After this Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says, ‘Let my people go so they can hold a religious festival for me in the desert.’”
2 Bet Faraons sacīja: kas tas tāds Kungs, kā balsij man būs klausīt un Israēli atlaist? Es To Kungu nepazīstu, un Israēli arī neatlaidīšu.
“Who is this ‘Lord’ that I should listen to his request to let Israel go?” Pharaoh replied. “I don't know the Lord and I certainly won't let Israel leave!”
3 Tad tie sacīja: tas Ebreju Dievs mūs ir sastapis, lai mēs ejam treju dienu gājumu tuksnesī, upurēt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, lai Viņš pār mums nenāk ar mēri vai ar zobenu.
“The God of the Hebrews came to us,” they added. “Please allow us to go a three days journey into the desert and offer sacrifices to the Lord our God. Otherwise he'll kill us by disease or by the sword.”
4 Tad Ēģiptes ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: jūs, Mozus un Ārons, - kam jūs tos ļaudis atturat no viņu darbiem? Ejat pie savas kalpošanas!
“Moses and Aaron, why are you trying to take people away from their assigned labor?” Pharaoh asked. “Get back to work!” he ordered.
5 Vēl Faraons sacīja: redzi, ļaužu tai zemē tā jau daudz, un jūs tos vēl gribat atturēt no viņu kalpošanas?
“Look here,” he went on. “There are many of your people here in our country and you are preventing them from doing their assigned labor.”
6 Un Faraons tai dienā ļaužu uzraugiem un virsniekiem pavēlēja un sacīja:
That very day he ordered the slave drivers and those in charge of the people:
7 Jums turpmāk nebūs tiem ļaudīm dot salmus pie ķieģeļu taisīšanas, kā vakar un aizvakar; tiem pašiem būs iet un sev salmus meklēt.
“Don't give them any more straw to make bricks like before. Have them go and collect the straw themselves.
8 Un to ķieģeļu pulku, ko tie citkārt taisījuši, jums tiem tā pat būs uzlikt, jums no tiem neko nebūs atraut; jo tie ir bez darba, tādēļ tie brēc un saka: iesim, upurēsim savam Dievam!
But still make them produce the same quantity of bricks as before. They're lazy people—that's why they're calling out, asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to our god.
9 Lai tiem vīriem tā kalpošana top grūtāka, ka tiem ir darbs, un tie negriežās pie blēņām.
Make their work harder so they can get on with it and not pay any attention to all these lies!”
10 Tad tie ļaužu uzraugi un virsnieki izgāja un runāja uz tiem ļaudīm sacīdami: Tā saka Faraons: es jums vairs nedošu salmus.
So the slave drivers and those in charge went out and told the people, “This is what Pharaoh has ordered: ‘I won't give you any more straw.
11 Ejat paši, dabūjiet sev salmus kur dabūdami, bet no jūsu darba nekas netaps atlaists.
Go and get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, because your work quota won't be reduced.”
12 Tad tie ļaudis izklīda pa visu Ēģiptes zemi, ka tie rugājus sakrātu salmu vietā.
So the people went all over Egypt collecting stubble for straw.
13 Un tie uzraugi tos spieda, sacīdami: Pabeidziet savu dienas darbu it tāpat, kā kad jums salmi bija.
The slave drivers kept on forcing them, saying, “You still have to do the same work as you did when you had straw provided!”
14 Un Israēla bērnu uzraugi, ko Faraona virsnieki pār tiem bija iecēluši, tapa sisti, un uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs neesat pabeiguši savu nospriesto darbu pie ķieģeļu dedzināšanas kā papriekš, ne vakar, ne šodien?
They beat the Israelite supervisors they had put in charge, shouting at them, “Why haven't you met your quota of bricks as you did before?”
15 Tad Israēla bērnu uzraugi gāja un brēca uz Faraonu un sacīja: kāpēc tu saviem kalpiem tā dari?
The Israelite supervisors went to Pharaoh to complain, saying, “Why are you treating us your servants like this?
16 Taviem kalpiem salmus nedod, un mums saka: taisāt ķieģeļus; un redzi, tavi kalpi top sisti, un tā ir tavas tautas vaina.
You don't give us any straw but your slave drivers demand that we make bricks, and they beat us! Your people are treating us badly!”
17 Tad Faraons sacīja: jūs esat sliņķi, sliņķi jūs esat, tāpēc jūs sakāt, iesim, upurēsim Tam Kungam.
“No, you're just lazy, lazy people!” Pharaoh replied. “That's why you keep on asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.’
18 Tad nu ejat pie darba, salmus jums nedos, bet ķieģeļu skaits jums jātaisa.
Now get out of here and go back to work! You won't be given any straw but you'll still have to produce the full quota of bricks!”
19 Tad Israēla bērnu uzraugi redzēja, ka viņi postā, tāpēc ka sacīja: jums nebūs atraut no nospriestā dienas darba ķieģeļiem.
The Israelite supervisors realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily production of bricks.”
20 Un tie sastapa Mozu un Āronu, kas tur stāvēja tos sagaidīt, kad tie no Faraona izgāja,
They went over to Moses and Aaron who were waiting for them after their meeting with Pharaoh,
21 Un sacīja uz tiem: lai Tas Kungs jūs redz un soda, tāpēc ka jūs mūsu smaržu esat smirdošu darījuši pie Faraona un pie viņa kalpiem, viņiem rokā dodami zobenu, mūs nokaut.
and said, “May the Lord see what you have done and judge you accordingly! You have made us like a bad smell to Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword in their hands to kill us!”
22 Tad Mozus atgriezās pie Tā Kunga un sacīja: Kungs, kāpēc Tu šiem ļaudīm esi darījis ļaunu? Kāpēc tad Tu mani esi sūtījis?
Moses went back to the Lord and complained, “Why have you caused all this trouble for your own people, Lord? Was this why you sent me?
23 Jo kamēr es esmu gājis pie Faraona, runāt Tavā vārdā, viņš tiem ļaudīm dara ļaunu, un Tu Savus ļaudis glābt neesi glābis.
Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak for you, he has been even harder on your people, and you haven't done anything to save them!”
