1Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
1Potom prišli, Mojžiš a Áron, a riekli faraonovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Prepusti môj ľud, aby mi slávil slávnosť na púšti.
2Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
2Ale faraon odpovedal: Kto je Hospodin, aby som poslúchol jeho hlas a prepustil Izraela? Neznám Hospodina ani neprepustím Izraela.
3They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
3A riekli: Bôh Hebrejov sa stretol s nami. Nože nech ideme, prosíme, tri dni cesty na púšť a obetujeme Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, aby nedopustil na nás moru alebo meča.
4The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
4A egyptský kráľ im povedal: Prečo vy, Mojžišu a Árone, chcete uvoľniť ten ľud od jeho prác? Iďte ku svojim robotám!
5Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
5A faraon povedal ešte: Hľa, už teraz je mnoho ľudu v zemi, a zdržujete ich od ich robôt.
6The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
6A faraon prikázal toho dňa pohoničom, ktorí boli nad ľudom, a jeho úradníkom a povedal:
7“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
7Nebudete viacej dávať ľudu slamy na robenie tehiel ako doteraz. Nech idú sami a sbierajú si slamu.
8The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
8Ale ten istý počet tehiel, ktorý robili dosiaľ, im naložte i ďalej, neujmete ničoho z neho, lebo sú leniví a zaháľajú a preto kričia, poďme vraj a obetujme svojmu Bohu!
9Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
9Nech ťažko dolieha robota na tých mužov, a nech pracujú v nej, aby nedbali na falošné slová.
10The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
10A tak vyšli pohoniči ľudu a jeho úradníci a vraveli ľudu: Takto hovorí faraon: Nebudem vám dávať slamy.
11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
11Iďte sami, berte si slamu odtiaľ, kde najdete, lebo nič sa neujme z vašej práce.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
12Vtedy sa rozbehol ľud po celej Egyptskej zemi, aby trhal strnište miesto slamy.
13The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
13A pohoniči ich nútili a vraveli: Vykonajte svoju prácu, každý deň to, čo ste povinní, jako vtedy, keď bolo slamy.
14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
14A úradníci synov Izraelových, ktorých ustanovili nad nimi pohoniči faraonovi, boli bití, a vraveli im: Prečo ste nevykonali svojej úlohy, ani včera ani dnes, tak aby ste boli spravili toľko tehiel ako driev?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
15A úradníci synov Izraelových prišli a kričali k faraonovi a vraveli: Prečo tak robíš svojim služobníkom?
16No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
16Slamy sa nedáva svojim služobníkom a hovoria nám: Robte tehly! A hľa, tvoji služobníci sú bití, a tvoj ľud hreší.
17But he said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
17A on povedal: Zaháľate, zaháľate, preto hovoríte: Poďme, obetujme Hospodinovi!
18Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
18A tak teraz iďte, robte! A slamy sa vám nebude dávať, ale uložený počet tehiel dáte.
19The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
19A úradníci synov Izraelových videli, že je s nimi zle, pretože im bolo povedané: Neujmete z počtu svojich tehiel, ktoré máte vystanoviť v ktorý deň.
20They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh:
20A stretli Mojžiša a Árona, ktorí im stáli oproti, keď vychádzali od faraona,
21and they said to them, “May Yahweh look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
21a povedali im: Nech pohliadne na vás Hospodin a súdi, lebo ste zosmradili náš čuch v očiach faraonových a v očiach jeho služobníkov a dali ste meč do ich ruky, aby nás pobili.
22Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
22A Mojžiš sa navrátil k Hospodinovi a povedal: Pane, prečo si učinil tak zle tomuto ľudu? Prečo si ma poslal?
23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.”
23Lebo odvtedy, odkedy som vošiel k faraonovi, aby som s ním hovoril v tvojom mene, robí zle tomuto ľudu, a vytrhnúť nevytrhol si svojho ľudu z jeho moci.
