Exodus 5
New American Standard Bible
Israel’s Labor Increased
5 And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “(A)This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘(B)Let My people go so that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.’” 2 But Pharaoh said, “(C)Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, (D)I will not let Israel go.” 3 Then they said, “(E)The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness so that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, otherwise He will strike us with plague or with the sword.” 4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you let the people neglect their [a]work? Get back to your (F)labors!” 5 Again Pharaoh said, “Look, (G)the people of the land are now many, and you would have them cease from their labors!” 6 So the same day Pharaoh commanded (H)the taskmasters over the people and their (I)foremen, saying, 7 “You are no longer to give the people straw to make bricks as previously; have them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But you shall impose on them the quota of bricks which they were making before; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are (J)lazy, for that reason they cry [b]out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ 9 Let the labor be heavier on the men, and have them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words.”
10 So (K)the taskmasters of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am not going to give you any straw. 11 You go, get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it; but none of your labor will be reduced.’” 12 So the people scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 And the taskmasters pressed them, saying, “Complete your [c]work quota, [d]your daily amount, just as when [e]you had straw.” 14 Moreover, (L)the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, (M)were beaten [f]and asked, “Why have you not completed your required task of making bricks either yesterday or today, as before?”
15 Then the foremen of the sons of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants? 16 There is no straw given to your servants, yet they keep saying to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And behold, your servants are being beaten; but it is the fault of your own people.” 17 But he said, “You are (N)lazy, very lazy; for that reason you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.’ 18 So go now and work; for you will be given no straw, but you must deliver the quota of bricks.” 19 The foremen of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble, [g]since they were told, “You must not reduce [h]your daily amount of bricks.” 20 When they left Pharaoh’s presence, they met Moses and Aaron as they were [i]waiting for them. 21 And (O)they said to them, “(P)May the Lord look upon you and judge you, because you have (Q)made [j]us repulsive in Pharaoh’s sight and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “(R)Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me? 23 Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, (S)and You have not rescued Your people at all.”

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
5 At pagkatapos nito, si Moises at si Aaron ay nagsipasok, at sinabi kay Faraon, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Bayaan mong ang aking bayan ay yumaon upang ipagdiwang nila ako ng isang kapistahan sa ilang.
2 At sinabi ni Faraon, Sino ang Panginoon na aking pakikinggan ang kaniyang tinig, upang pahintulutan kong yumaon ang Israel? Hindi ko nakikilala ang Panginoon at saka hindi ko pahihintulutang yumaon ang Israel.
3 At kanilang sinabi, Ang Dios ng mga Hebreo ay nakipagtagpo sa amin; pahintulutan mo nga kaming maglakbay na tatlong araw sa ilang, at maghain sa Panginoon naming Dios, baka hulugan niya kami ng salot o ng tabak.
4 At sinabi sa kanila ng hari sa Egipto, Bakit kinakalagan ninyo, Moises at Aaron, ang bayan sa kanilang mga gawain? pumaroon kayo sa mga atang sa inyo.
5 At sinabi ni Faraon, Narito, ang mga tao sa lupain ay marami na ngayon, at inyong pinapagpapahinga sila sa mga atang sa kanila.
6 At ng araw ring yaon ay nagutos si Faraon sa mga tagapagpaatag sa bayan at sa kanilang mga puno, na sinasabi,
7 Huwag na ninyong bibigyan ang bayan, ng dayami sa paggawa ng laryo, na gaya ng dati: sila ang pumaroon at magtipon ng dayami sa ganang kanilang sarili.
8 At ang bilang ng mga laryo, na kanilang ginagawang dati ay siya rin ninyong iaatang sa kanila; wala kayong babawasin: sapagka't sila'y mga pagayongayon; kaya't sila'y dumadaing, na nagsasabi, Bayaan mo kaming yumaon at maghain sa aming Dios.
9 Pabigatin ninyo ang gawain ng mga lalake upang kanilang pagpagalan at huwag nilang pakitunguhan ang mga kabulaanang salita.
10 At ang mga tagapagpaatag sa bayan, ay nagsilabas, at kanilang sinalita sa bayan, na sinasabi, Ganito ang sabi ni Faraon, Hindi ko kayo bibigyan ng dayami.
11 Yumaon kayo ng inyong sarili, kumuha kayo ng dayami kung saan kayo makakakuha: sapagka't walang babawasin kaunti man sa inyong gawain.
12 Kaya't ang bayan ay nangalat sa buong lupain ng Egipto, na humahanap ng pinagputulan ng trigo na panghalili sa dayami.
13 At hinihigpitan sila ng mga tagapagpaatag, na sinasabi, Tapusin ninyo ang inyong mga gawa, ang inyong gawain sa araw-araw, na gaya nang mayroong kayong dayami.
14 At ang mga pinuno sa mga anak ni Israel na ipinaglalagay sa kanila ng mga tagapagpaatag ni Faraon, ay nangapalo, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Bakit hindi ninyo tinapos ang inyong gawain kahapon at ngayon, sa paggawa ng laryo, na gaya ng dati?
15 Nang magkagayo'y ang mga pinuno sa mga anak ni Israel ay naparoon at dumaing kay Faraon, na nagsasabi, Bakit mo ginaganyan ang iyong mga alipin?
16 Walang anomang dayami, na ibinibigay sa iyong mga alipin, at kanilang sinasabi sa amin, Gumawa kayo ng laryo: at, narito, ang iyong mga alipin ay nangapapalo; nguni't ang sala'y nasa iyong sariling bayan.
17 Datapuwa't kaniyang sinabi, Kayo'y mga pagayongayon, kayo'y mga pagayongayon: kaya't inyong sinasabi, Bayaan mo kaming yumaon at maghain sa Panginoon.
18 Kayo nga'y yumaon ngayon at gumawa; sapagka't walang anomang dayaming ibibigay sa inyo, at gayon ma'y inyong ibibigay ang bilang ng mga laryo.
19 At nakita ng mga pinuno ng mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y nasa masamang kalagayan, nang sabihin, Walang mababawas na anoman sa inyong mga laryo sa inyong gawain sa araw-araw.
20 At kanilang nasalubong si Moises at si Aaron na nagsitayo sa daan, pagkapanggaling kay Faraon:
21 At sinabi nila sa kanila, Kayo nawa'y tunghan ng Panginoon, at hatulan; sapagka't ang aming katayuan ay ginawa mong nakamumuhi sa mga mata ni Faraon, at sa mga mata ng kaniyang mga lingkod, na naglagay ng tabak sa kanilang kamay upang kami ay patayin.
22 At si Moises ay bumalik sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Panginoon, bakit mo ginawan ng kasamaan ang bayang ito? bakit mo sinugo ako?
23 Sapagka't mula nang ako'y pumaroon kay Faraon na magsalita sa iyong pangalan, ay kaniyang ginawan ng kasamaan ang bayang ito: at ni hindi mo man iniligtas ang iyong bayan.
Exodus 5
New International Version
Bricks Without Straw
5 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go,(A) so that they may hold a festival(B) to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord,(C) that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.”(D)
3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey(E) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues(F) or with the sword.”
4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor?(G) Get back to your work!” 5 Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous,(H) and you are stopping them from working.”
6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers(I) and overseers in charge of the people: 7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks;(J) let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota.(K) They are lazy;(L) that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’(M) 9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
10 Then the slave drivers(N) and the overseers went out and said to the people, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you any more straw. 11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced(O) at all.’” 12 So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw. 13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.” 14 And Pharaoh’s slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed,(P) demanding, “Why haven’t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?”
15 Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why have you treated your servants this way? 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.”
17 Pharaoh said, “Lazy, that’s what you are—lazy!(Q) That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.’ 18 Now get to work.(R) You will not be given any straw, yet you must produce your full quota of bricks.”
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.” 20 When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, 21 and they said, “May the Lord look on you and judge(S) you! You have made us obnoxious(T) to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword(U) in their hand to kill us.”(V)
God Promises Deliverance
22 Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people?(W) Is this why you sent 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(X) your people at all.”
