New International Version NIV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Afterward 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 festival to me in the wilderness.’ ”
1
post haec ingressi sunt Moses et Aaron et dixerunt Pharaoni haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go.”
2
at ille respondit quis est Dominus ut audiam vocem eius et dimittam Israhel nescio Dominum et Israhel non dimittam
3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
3
dixerunt Deus Hebraeorum vocavit nos ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius
4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!”
4
ait ad eos rex Aegypti quare Moses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis ite ad onera vestra
5 Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working.”
5
dixitque Pharao multus est populus terrae videtis quod turba succreverit quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus
6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people:
6
praecepit ergo in die illo praefectis operum et exactoribus populi dicens
7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.
7
nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres sicut prius sed ipsi vadant et colligant stipulam
8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
8
et mensuram laterum quos prius faciebant inponetis super eos nec minuetis quicquam vacant enim et idcirco vociferantur dicentes eamus et sacrificemus Deo nostro
9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
9
opprimantur operibus et expleant ea ut non adquiescant verbis mendacibus
10 Then the slave drivers and the overseers went out and said to the people, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you any more straw.
10
igitur egressi praefecti operum et exactores ad populum dixerunt sic dicit Pharao non do vobis paleas
11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.’ ”
11
ite et colligite sicubi invenire potueritis nec minuetur quicquam de opere vestro
12 So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw.
12
dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Aegypti ad colligendas paleas
13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.”
13
praefecti quoque operum instabant dicentes conplete opus vestrum cotidie ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleae
14 And Pharaoh’s slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed, demanding, “Why haven’t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?”
14
flagellatique sunt qui praeerant operibus filiorum Israhel ab exactoribus Pharaonis dicentibus quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius nec heri nec hodie
15 Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why have you treated your servants this way?
15
veneruntque praepositi filiorum Israhel et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes cur ita agis contra servos tuos
16 Your servants are given no straw, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”
16
paleae non dantur nobis et lateres similiter imperantur en famuli tui flagellis caedimur et iniuste agitur contra populum tuum
17 Pharaoh said, “Lazy, that’s what you are—lazy! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
17
qui ait vacatis otio et idcirco dicitis eamus et sacrificemus Domino
18 Now get to work. You will not be given any straw, yet you must produce your full quota of bricks.”
18
ite ergo et operamini paleae non dabuntur vobis et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum
19 The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day.”
19
videbantque se praepositi filiorum Israhel in malo eo quod diceretur eis non minuetur quicquam de lateribus per singulos dies
20 When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them,
20
occurreruntque Mosi et Aaron qui stabant ex adverso egredientes a Pharaone
21 and they said, “May the LORD look on you and judge you! You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
21
et dixerunt ad eos videat Dominus et iudicet quoniam fetere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharao et servis eius et praebuistis ei gladium ut occideret nos
22 Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me?
22
reversusque Moses ad Dominum ait Domine cur adflixisti populum istum quare misisti me
23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.”
23
ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer nomine tuo adflixit populum tuum et non liberasti eos
