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.’”
1 Waato din gaa no Musa nda Haruna koy ka ne Firawna se: «Yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci: ‹ M'ay jama taŋ zama i ma sududuyaŋ batu te ay se saajo ra.› »
1And 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.
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.”
2 Amma Firawna ne: «May ga ti Rabbi, kaŋ ay ga maa a se, hal ay ma Israyla taŋ mo? Ay wo si Rabbi bay, ay si Israyla taŋ mo.»
2And 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.
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.”
3 I ne: «Irikoy, Ibraniyancey wane Irikoyo no ka kubay d'iri. Iri ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ iri ma te jirbi hinza diraw saajo ra, iri ma sargayyaŋ salle Rabbi iri Irikoyo se, zama a ma si balaaw wala takuba zeeri iri boŋ.»
3And 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.
4The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
4 Misira bonkoono ne i se: «Ya Musa nda Haruna, ifo se no araŋ ga borey feeri ngey goyo gaa? Wa araŋ koyyaŋ te araŋ goyey do.»
4And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
5Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
5 Firawna ne mo: «A go, borey wo ga baa laabo ra sohõ, araŋ mo goono g'i fulanzam ngey goyey gaa.»
5And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
6 Han din binde Firawna na goy jine borey lordi*, ngey da kurayey jine borey ka ne:
6And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
7 «Araŋ ma si ye ka borey wo no subu kaŋ i ga fareeje kar d'a koyne, danga waato cine. I ma koy ka subo ku ngey boŋ se.
7Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
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.’
8 Fareeja lasaabo kaŋ i doona ka te za doŋ mo, yaadin no araŋ ga dake i boŋ. Araŋ ma si hay kulu zabu a ra, zama hawfunoyaŋ no. Woodin se no i goono ga hẽ ka ne: ‹I ma fay d'iri, iri ma koy ka sargayyaŋ te iri Irikoyo se.›
8And 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.
9Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
9 Kal i ma goy kaŋ ga taabandi tonton borey din se, zama i ma tangam d'a. I ma si laakal da tangari sanney din.»
9Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words.
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.
10 Israyla goy jine borey binde fatta, ngey da kurayey jine borey mo ka salaŋ borey se. I goono ga ne: «Yaa no Firawna ci: ‹Ay si araŋ no subu koyne.
10And 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.
11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
11 Wa koy ka subu ku araŋ boŋ se nangu kulu kaŋ araŋ ga du a. Zama i si araŋ goyo zabu bo, baa kayna.› »
11Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
12 Kala borey kulu say Misira laabo ra zama i ma buunu margu alkama subu nango ra.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
13 Goyey jine borey mo soobay ka kankamandi. I goono ga ne: «Wa araŋ zaari goyo toonandi, danga araŋ doŋ wano kaŋ subu go no cine!»
13And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
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?”
14 I soobay ka Israyla izey kurayey jine borey kar mo, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Firawna wane goyo jine borey daŋ i boŋ. I ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ mana araŋ lasaabo toonandi, bi wano da hunkuna wano kulu, waato fareeja lasaabuyaŋo cine?»
14And 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?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
15 Saaya din Israyla izey kurayey jine borey kaa ka hẽ Firawna gaa. I goono ga ne: «Ifo se no ni goono ga te ni bannyey se ya-cine?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
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.”
16 I si ni bannyey no subu. I ga ne iri se mo: ‹Wa fareeje te.› I go ga ni bannyey kar, amma taalo, ni borey gaa no a go.»
16There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault it in thine own people.
17But he said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
17 Amma Firawna ne: «Araŋ wo dirgaykomyaŋ no, hawfunoyaŋ mo no! Woodin se no araŋ ga ne: ‹I ma fay d'iri, iri ma koy ka sargayyaŋ salle Rabbi se.›
17But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.
18Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
18 Sohõ binde, araŋ ma koy ka goy, zama i si araŋ no subu. Kulu nda yaadin mo araŋ g'araŋ fareeja lasaabo toonandi.»
18Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
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!”
19 Israyla izey kurayey jine borey binde bay kaŋ ngey furo kambe, waato kaŋ a ne i se: «Araŋ ma si araŋ fareeja lasaabo zabu baa kayna, zaari kulu goyo ra.»
19And 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.
20They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh:
20 Waato kaŋ i fun Firawna do i kubay da Musa nda Haruna, i go ga kay fonda boŋ.
20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
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.”
21 Arkusey ne i se: «Rabbi m'araŋ guna ka ciiti, zama araŋ no ka naŋ iri ciya fanta hariyaŋ Firawna nda nga bannyey kulu do, hal araŋ na takuba daŋ i kambey ra i m'iri wi se.»
21and 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.
22Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
22 Musa binde ye Rabbi do ka ne: «Ya ay Koyo, ifo se no ni na laala te jama wo se? Ifo se mo no ni n'ay donton?
22And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
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.”
23 Zama za ay kaa Firawna do zama ay ma salaŋ ni maa ra, a laala jama wo gaa, ni mana jama faaba mo, baa kayna.»
23For 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.
