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.’”

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.”

Bawu tubaka: «Nzambi ya beto ba-Ebeleyo me kwiza talana na beto. Pesa beto nzila beto kwenda, beto tambula bilumbu tatu na yinsi ya kuyuma, samu na kukwenda pesa minkayulu na Yave, Nzambi ya beto. Beto zola ve ti yandi kufwa beto na kiyoolo to na mvita.»

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.”

Ntinu ya Ngipiti tubaka na Moyize na Aloni: «Beno Moyize na Aloni, samu na yinki beno zola ti bana ya Isayeli kusala dyaka ve bisalu ya bawu? Beno kwenda na bisalu ya beno ya bundongo!»
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

BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”

MKW
Kaka na kilumbu yina, Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, pesaka ntumunu na bantu ya Ngipiti yina vwandaka kengidila bana ya Isayeli na bisalu ya bawu ya bundongo, mpe na bantu ya Isayeli yina vwandaka twadisa bisalu. Ntumunu yango ni yayi:
BSB
BSB:
That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
7
MKW
«Beno pesa dyaka ve matiti ya nyanga na bana ya Isayeli samu na kusala bibiliki, mutindu beno vwandaka sala na ntama. Bawu ke banda na kwendaka lokota yawu bawu mosi.
BSB
BSB:
“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
8
MKW
Na yina, beno ke kwika bawu na kusala lutangu ya bibiliki yina bawu vwandaka sala ntete, beno ke kulula yawu ve. Samu ti bawu kele na bubolo, ni yawu yina, ba ke na kulooka na kutuba ti beto kwenda pesa minkayulu na Nzambi ya beto.
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
MKW
Beno fulusa bawu na bisalu, samu ti bawu kusala mingi, mpe bawu kuwa dyaka ve mambu ya luvunu.»
BSB
BSB:
Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
10
MKW
Bantu yina vwandaka kengidila bana ya Isayeli na bisalu ya bawu ya bundongo na bantu ya Isayeli yina vwandaka twadisa bisalu, kwendaka zonza na bantu: «Falawo me tuba ti ba ke pesa dyaka ve beno matiti ya nyanga.
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
MKW
Beno kwenda sosa beno mosi matiti ya nyanga kisika yina beno lenda kuzwa yawu. Kasi ba ke kulula ata kima na bisalu ya beno.»
BSB
BSB:
Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
12
MKW
Na yina, bana ya Isayeli mwanganaka na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti, samu na kulokota matiti ya bilanga na kusadila yawu mutindu matiti ya nyanga.
BSB
BSB:
So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13
MKW
Bantu yina vwandaka kengidila vwandaka kwika bawu na kusala mbangu-mbangu. Ba vwandaka tuba mutindu yayi: «Beno fwana kumanisa bisalu ya beno ya konso kilumbu mutindu beno vwandaka sala yawu, ntangu ba vwandaka pesa beno matiti ya nyanga.»
BSB
BSB:
The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
14
MKW
Bantu ya Falawo yina vwandaka kengidila bisalu vwandaka bula bantu ya Isayeli yina vwandaka twadisa bisalu, bantu yina bawu mosi soolaka. Bawu vwandaka tuba na bawu: «Samu na yinki beno me lungisa ve lutangu ya bibiliki yina beno zolaka sala mazono na bubu yayi, mutindu beno vwandaka sala ntete?»
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
MKW
Bantu ya Isayeli yina vwandaka twadisa bisalu kwendaka nyonga na sika ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, mpe bawu tubaka: «Samu na yinki nge ke na kusala mutindu yina na beto bisadi ya nge?
BSB
BSB:
So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
16
MKW
Ba ke na kupesaka dyaka beto ve matiti ya nyanga, kasi ba ke na kutumisa na beto na kusala bibiliki mpe ba ke na bula dyaka beto. Ni bantu ya nge ke na kusala yimbi!»
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
MKW
Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti tubaka: «Beno ke na bubolo! Ya tsyelika bantu ya bubolo! Ni yawu yina, beno ke na kutuba ti: “beto zola kwenda pesa minkayulu na Yave!”
BSB
BSB:
“You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18
MKW
Ntangu yayi, beno kwenda sala! Ba ke pesa beno ve matiti ya nyanga, kasi beno fwana kulungisa lutangu ya bibiliki yina beno ke salaka.»
BSB
BSB:
Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
19
MKW
Bantu ya Isayeli yina vwandaka twadisa bisalu talaka ti bawu kumaka na mpasi, samu ti ba zabisaka na bawu ti bawu ke kulula ve lutangu ya bibiliki ya konso kilumbu.
BSB
BSB:
The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
20
MKW
Ntangu bawu basikaka na yinzo ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, bawu kwendaka na sika ya Moyize na Aloni yina vwandaka vingila bawu.
BSB
BSB:
When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
21
MKW
Bawu tubaka na Moyize na Aloni: «Bika ti Yave tala mambu ya yimbi yina beno me sala, mpe ti yandi kufundisa beno na mambu yayi. Samu na beno, beto me kuma bantu ya kulutila yimbi na meso ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, na bantu yina ke salaka na yandi. Beno me fungula nzila samu ti bawu kufwa beto.»
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
MKW
Na manima, Moyize tubaka dyaka na Yave: «Mfumu, samu na yinki nge ke na kutalisa bantu yayi mpasi? Mpe samu na yinki nge me fidisa kwandi munu?
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
MKW
Kubanda ntangu yina mu kwendaka na sika ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, samu na kuzonza na nkumbu ya nge, Falawo ke na kutalisa bantu yayi mpasi, mpe nge me kuula ata fyoti ve bantu ya nge.»
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.”
