Ayongi mẹ, Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn atza akhebha Phero, aben bi, “Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kw'Israẹl, obeni bi, ‘Tte anọng paam ọbọhk afona, ifha bẹ atza asi ọdadaami kw'ikpokpobha k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi, anang-m.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
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.’”

MFO
Mẹ wọ, Phero oben bi, “Anyi wọ ode Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kwa kaam nnọbh ka chen maa, ntte anọng p'Israẹl ọbọhk bẹ afona? Kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi kinnong! Anọng p'Israẹl ọbọhk kíntte bẹ afona.”
BSB
BSB:
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.”

MFO
Iwa Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, aben bi, “Ibinọkpaabyi kw'abaHiburu okk'man abẹ ottema. Mẹ wọ, tte mobina orenga kw'iwu ittaan mochina k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi, ifha mọtza osi njafọhni ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwaman. Oni mando ode, kẹ ọfha ọnang man ihem k'adem-k'adem, ayongi mẹ, ofha ofhu man ttara ọkkangkkaang.”
BSB
BSB:
“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.”

MFO
Yina, ọvaarnọng kw'Ijip ọn-ọbọbh Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn bi, “Ode yan kwa bọng akwọbh anọng mba ọtzọhm fa bẹ am-asi o? Bọng kpa nnam k'itzọhm sabọng!”
BSB
BSB:
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
MFO
Mẹ wọ, Phero oben bi, “Bọng kker e, anọng p'irek nna akk'an-ahaabha, yina, bọng am-akwọbha bẹ ọtzọhm osisi.”
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
6
MFO
M'ewu nduma dani, Phero ọnang akker-atzọhmnọng ọmaana akkeri-itzọhm ẹfa bi:
BSB
BSB:
That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
7
MFO
“Bọng anọng mba araraari-bukhi pa bẹ am-atzima abanga atza dọk kànang. Tte bẹ areng-mmo atza aror araraari-bukhi pa bẹ am-aztima abanga atza.
BSB
BSB:
“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
8
MFO
Yina, bọng si bẹ abanga ọtzabhik kwa bẹ am-akkekkeni abanga, bọng kàjekhi. Bẹ akpọhr-ọkpọhra e, kwẹ gwọ osi bẹ am-abhom bi, ‘Tte mofona, mọtza osi ẹjafọhni ọnang Ibinọkpaabyi kwaman.’
BSB
BSB:
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
MFO
Bọng si ọtzọhm mva fẹ ọgaang-ọgaangi ọnang ajinọng mba, ifha bẹ am-asi ọtzọhm, bẹ aningi ogbe akhaam kwa bẹ ayonga itzọhng k'ibhora manda rani.”
BSB
BSB:
Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
10
MFO
Mẹ wọ, akker-atzọhmnọng ọmaana akkeri-itzọhm p'Israẹl, afona atza agbaak anọng mba bi, “Ma wọ ode odik kwa Phero ọgbaakhi: ‘Kaam bọng araraaribukhi pa bẹ am-atzima abanga atza dọk kinnang.
BSB
BSB:
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
MFO
Bọng nọhng atza aror araraari-bukhi, pa bẹ am-atzima abanga atza k'ibe sa bọng aroror, yina, ọtzọhm fabọng kòjekhi mebubuni.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
12
MFO
Mẹ wọ, anọng mba an-akpaanga makhọra Ijip, aror araraari-bukhi pa bẹ atzima abanga atza.
BSB
BSB:
So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13
MFO
Akker-atzọhmnọng mba achina ororo anyuni bẹ k'ẹfa, aben bi, “Bọng kyera ọtzọhm fabọng f'ewu, macha bọng am-akkekkeni asi, k'ogbe kwa bẹ am-anang bọng araraari-bukhi.”
BSB
BSB:
The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
14
MFO
Akker-atzọhmnọng pa Phero otzek, abọkha akkeri-itzọhm p'Israẹl attum ngwur, abira abọbh bẹ bi, “Okhuri yan kw'ọtzabhik kwa bọng abang ikhena ttara mayina, oni obhik kwa bọng am-akkekkeni abanga opyir o?”
BSB
BSB:
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
MFO
Mẹ wọ, akkem-itzọhm p'Israẹl afona atza abhom akpẹkhi Phero, aben-ẹ bi, “Itta, okhuri yan kwa kọ am-asi atzọhmnọng pọ manda o?
BSB
BSB:
So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
16
MFO
Bẹ atzọhmnọng pọ araraari-bukhi pa bẹ am-atzima abanga atza dọk kanangi. Yina, bẹ am-aben man bi, ‘Bọng banga atza!’ Bẹ am-attum atzọhmnọng pọ, kaambi ode bi ottotto ode kw'anọng pọ.”
BSB
BSB:
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
MFO
Phero obhina bẹ bi, “Ọkpọra e, bọng akpọr-ọkpọra e! Kwẹ wọ osi bọng am-aben bi, ‘Tte mofona, motza osi ẹjafọhni ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.’
BSB
BSB:
“You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18
MFO
Bọng kpa nnam k'ọtzọhm. Bẹ bọng araraari-bukhi pa bẹ am-atzima abanga atza kánang, yina, bọng akhaambi abanga ọtzabhik kwa bọng am-akkekkeni abanga.”
BSB
BSB:
Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
19
MFO
Akkeri-itzọhm p'Israẹl akwu atzin bi, odik wọ om-otto mẹ, da bẹ abeni bi, “Bọng ọtzabhik kwa bọng am-abanga kw'ewu kàkhaambi ajekhi.”
BSB
BSB:
The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
20
MFO
Mada bẹ abin ka Phero, bẹ are Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn p'am-atzik bẹ,
BSB
BSB:
When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
21
MFO
bẹ aben bi, “Tte Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi kw'ore bọng, ọkpaara aponga pabọng! Bọng akk'asa mopyibh k'itzitzikha sa Phero, ọmaana akhaan-nọng pẹ, bọng abira khe bẹ ọkkangkkaang k'ọbọhk bi, bẹ afhu man.”
BSB
BSB:
“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
MFO
Mẹ wọ e, Mosẹs ọkpa nnam k'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, oben bi, “O Itta, okhuri yan kwa akhe anọng mba ka dama-dama o? Kwẹ wọ osi atzọhm-m o?
BSB
BSB:
So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?
23
MFO
Tzọni k'ogbe kwa ndim che chọ nda mgbaak Phero atzim, ọkk'anọng mba ọkha ka dama-dama, kọ bẹ kabira akkaana mebubuni.”
BSB
BSB:
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.”
