JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.'
1Na Moses ac Aaron som nu yurin tokosra Egypt ac fahk, “ LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘Fuhlela mwet luk in som, tuh elos fah ku in oru sie kufwa in akfulatyeyu yen mwesis.’”
2And Pharaoh said: 'Who is the LORD, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go.'
2Tokosra el kouyak ac fahk, “Su LEUM GOD ? Efu ku ngan lohngol ac fuhlela mwet Israel in som? Nga tia etu ke LEUM GOD , ac nga fah tia lela mwet Israel in som.”
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 the LORD our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.'
3Moses ac Aaron topkol, “God lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut fin tia oru, El ac fah unikuti ke mas ku ke mweun.”
4And the king of Egypt said unto them: 'Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, cause the people to break loose from their work? get you unto your burdens.'
4Tokosra el fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron, “Efu komtal ku nunku in tulokinya orekma lun mwet uh? Mwet kohs ingan in folokla orekma!
5And Pharaoh said: 'Behold, the people of the land are now many, and will ye make them rest from their burdens?'
5Kowos arulana pus liki mwet Egypt uh, a inge kowos lungse mongla, tia orekma!”
6And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying:
6Ke len sacna, tokosra el sapkin mwet Egypt su liyaung mwet kohs, ac mwet Israel su mwet kol lalos
7'Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
7in tia sifil sang mah pao nu sin mwet Israel in orek brick kac, a elos in sifacna som suk.
8And the tale 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.
8Tusruktu elos in oru na pisen brick ma elos muta oru meet ah — in tia pueni. El fahk, “Srikla orekma itukyang nu selos an, pa sis elos kwafe na sik nga in fuhlelosla in som orek kisa nu sin God lalos uh!
9Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard lying words.'
9Sang orekma lalos an in upa liki meet ah, ac oru elos in kafofo, tuh in wangin pacl lalos in muta porongo kas kikiap inge.”
10And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying: 'Thus saith Pharaoh: I will not give you straw.
10Mwet liyaung mwet kohs ac mwet Israel su kol orekma lalos elos som ac fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Tokosra el fahk mu el ac tia sifilpa supu mah pao nu suwos.
11Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it; for nought of your work shall be diminished.'
11El mu kowos in sifacna som eis yen na kowos ku in konauk we, tusruk pisen brick kowos ac oru an in pisa se na meet ah.”
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
12Ouinge mwet uh fahsrelik yen nukewa fin acn Egypt sukok mah pao nu ke brick.
13And the taskmasters were urgent, saying: 'Fulfil your work, your daily task, as when there was straw.'
13Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos srike na in kalyaelos in oru na pisen brick sac, oana ke elos tuh orala ke pacl ma itukyang mah pao nu selos.
14And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, saying: 'Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your appointed task in making brick both yesterday and today as heretofore?'
14Mwet liyaung mwet kohs elos sringil mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel, su elos srisrngiya in liyaung orekma uh. Elos kouyak ac siyuk, “Efu komtal ku tia oru na pisen brick se ma komtal oru meet ah?”
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying: 'Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
15Na mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Efu tokosra ku oru ange nu sesr?
16There 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.'
16Tia ituku mah pao nu sesr, a srakna sapkinyuk kut in orek brick! Ac inge sringsring kut. Ma koluk inge ma lun mwet lom uh.”
17But he said: 'Ye are idle, ye are idle; therefore ye say: Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.
17Tokosra el topuk, “Komtal alsrangesr ac tia lungse orekma, pa pwanang komtal siyuk ngan lela nu sumtal in som ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD .
18Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.'
18Folokla orekma! Wangin mah pao ac itukot nu sumtal, tuh kowos in oru na pisen brick sac.”
19And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were set on mischief, when they said: 'Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, your daily task.'
19Mwet kol orekma lun mwet Israel akilenak lah ac arulana koluk nu selos, ke fwackyang tari elos in oru na pisen brick se ke len nukewa oana ke elos muta oru meet ah.
20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh;
20Ke elos illa, elos sonol Moses ac Aaron su tu soanelos.
21and they said unto them: 'The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour 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.'
21Na elos fahk nu seltal, “ LEUM GOD El liye ma komtal oru nu sesr inge ac El ac fah kai komtal mweyen ke sripomtal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal inge srungakut. Komtal sang in oasr sripe elos in unikuti.”
22And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Lord, wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that Thou hast sent me?
22Na Moses el sifil kaskas nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O Leum, efu kom ku oru koluk mwet lom? Efu kom ku supweyume nu inge?
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.'
23Ke na pacl se nga mutawauk fahsr nu yorol tokosra in kaskas nu sel Inem, el oru arulana koluk nu selos. Ac wanginna ma kom oru in kasrelos!”
