1. 1LUGOluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Musa ne Alooni ne bajja eri Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Tutumiddwa Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’akugamba nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bankolere embaga mu ddungu.’ ”BSBBSB: After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
2. 2LUGNaye Falaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Mukama ye ani, mmugondere, nzikirize Abayisirayiri okugenda? Mukama ssimumanyi, era sijja kubakkiriza kugenda.”BSBBSB: But Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and I will not let Israel go.”
3. 3LUGNe bamugamba nti, “Katonda w’Abaebbulaniya yatulabikira. Tukusaba otuleke tugende olugendo lwa nnaku ssatu mu ddungu, tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda waffe; aleme kututta ne kawumpuli, oba n’ekitala.”BSBBSB: “The God of the Hebrews has met with us,” they answered. “Please let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to the LORD our God, or He may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
4. 4LUGNaye kabaka w’e Misiri n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe Musa ne Alooni, lwaki mwagala okuggya abantu ku mirimu gyabwe? Muddeeyo mangu ku mirimu gyammwe.”BSBBSB: But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”
5. 5LUGFalaawo n’ayongera n’agamba nti, “Kale, mulabe abantu nga bwe beeyongedde obungi mu ggwanga ate mmwe mubaziyiza kukola.”BSBBSB: Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
6. 6LUGKu lunaku olwo lwennyini Falaawo n’alagira abagabi b’emirimu ne bannampala b’abantu nti,BSBBSB: That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
7. 7LUG“Mulekeraawo okuwanga abantu essubi ery’okukozesa mu kubumba amatoffaali; mubaleke bagende beenoonyezenga essubi lyabwe.BSBBSB: “You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
8. 8LUGNaye mubalagire babumbenga obungi bw’amatoffaali bwe bumu nga ge babadde babumba; temukendeezanga ku muwendo ogwabasalirwa. Bagayaavu; era kyebava bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Katonda waffe.’BSBBSB: But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
9. 9LUGAbasajja mubongereko ku mirimu gye mubasalira, bakole nnyo, balyoke baleme na kufa ku ebyo bye babalimbalimba.”BSBBSB: Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
10. 10LUGAwo abakozesa ne bannampala ne bagenda ne bategeeza abantu nti, “Falaawo agambye bw’ati nti, ‘Sijja kwongera kubawanga ssubi.BSBBSB: So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.
11. 11LUGMugende mwenoonyeze essubi yonna gye musobola okuliraba; kyokka emirimu gyammwe tegijja kukendeezebwako n’akatono.’ ”BSBBSB: Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
12. 12LUGBwe batyo abantu ne basaasaanira Misiri yonna okukuŋŋaanya obukonge bw’essubi ly’eŋŋaano bakozese obwo mu kifo ky’essubi.BSBBSB: So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13. 13LUGAbakozesa ne babakuluusanyanga nga babalagira nti, “Emirimu gyammwe egibasalirwa buli lunaku, mugituukirize nga bwe mwakolanga ng’essubi likyabaweebwa.”BSBBSB: The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
14. 14LUGBannampala Abayisirayiri, abaalondebwa abakozesa ba Falaawo, ne bakubibwanga nga bwe babuuzibwa nti, “Lwaki omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwa jjo n’ogwa leero ogwabasalirwa temugutuukirizza nga bwe mwakolanga edda?”BSBBSB: Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”
15. 15LUGAwo bannampala Abayisirayiri ne bajja ne bajulira ewa Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe abaddu bo, lwaki otuyisizza bw’oti?BSBBSB: So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
16. 16LUGAbaddu bo tetuweebwa ssubi, kyokka tulagirwa nti, ‘Mubumbe amatoffaali!’ Abaddu bo tukubibwa, so ng’omusango guli mu bantu bo.”BSBBSB: No straw has been given to your servants, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”
17. 17LUGFalaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Muli bagayaavu bugayaavu kyokka. Kyemuva mundeeberera nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.’BSBBSB: “You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18. 18LUGKale, mugende mukole! Temujja kuweebwa ssubi, naye muteekwa okubumba omuwendo gw’amatoffaali omujjuvu nga bwe gwabasalirwa.”BSBBSB: Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
19. 19LUGBannampala Abayisirayiri ne bategeera ng’akacwano kabatuukiridde, bwe baagambibwa nti, “Omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwabasalirwa okubumbanga buli lunaku tegujja kukendeezebwako.”BSBBSB: The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
20. 20LUGBwe baava ewa Falaawo, baasanga Musa ne Alooni nga babalindiridde.BSBBSB: When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
21. 21LUGBannampala ne babagamba nti, “Mukama abatunuulire era asalewo; kubanga mutufudde ekyenyinyalwa ewa Falaawo n’abaweereza be, era mubakwasizza ekitala okututta.”BSBBSB: “May the LORD look upon you and judge you,” the foremen said, “for you have made us a stench before Pharaoh and his officials; you have placed in their hand a sword to kill us!”
22. 22LUGAwo Musa n’akomawo awali Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama, abantu bano lwaki obaleetedde emitawaana? Eyo y’ensonga kyewava ontuma?BSBBSB: So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?
23. 23LUGKubanga kasookedde ŋŋenda ne njogera ne Falaawo mu linnya lyo, abantu bo abataddeko ebizibu bingi; era abantu bo tobawonyezza n’akatono.”BSBBSB: Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and You have not delivered Your people in any way.”
