¹

And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.

¹

По с'ем же въни'де мољ=сїи, і^ а^а^ро'нъ, къ фараѓ'нђ, и^ реко'ста е^мђ” Си'це гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ і^ил~евъ. эTпёсти` лю'ди моя, да тре'бђ положаT м^и въ пђсты'ни”

²

And Pharao said, Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.

²

Рече же фараѓ'нъ кт^ото'и е^сть е^гоже а%зъ послђшаю гла'са,ја%ко эTпђсти'ти и%маM сн~ы і^ил~евы, не вњмъ г~а і^ил~я не эTпђщђ”

³

And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us.

³

Рекоста е^мђ. бг~ъ е^вре'искїи, повелњ намъ, да и^демъ пђтемъ три дн~и въ пђстыню, и^ положи'мъ тре'бђ г~ђ б~ђ нашемђ, да не когда` слђчиTся на'мъ смертоно'сїе и^ли ра'ть”

⁴

And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.

⁴

Рече же и^ма цр~ь е^гљ=петскїи, въскђю м^и, мољ=сїи, і^ а^а^ро'нъ, ѓ^браща'ета лю'ди моя эT дњлъ и^хъ, и^дњта же кождо ва'съ на дњло свое”

⁵

And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.

⁵

И$ рече фараѓ'нъ, с^е нн~њ ё^мно'жишася лю'дїе сїи на земли`, не полегчи'мъ и^мъ дњлесы`”

⁶

And Pharao gave orders to the task-masters of the people and the accountants, saying,

⁶

Заповњда же фараѓ'нъ приста'вникомъ дњлесъ лю'дъскыхъ и^ кни'гочїамъ гл~я. эTсе'лњ

⁷

Ye shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.

⁷

не мози'те даја^ти плњ'въ лю'демъ къ зда'нїю пли'нъџомъ ја^коже вчера` и^ тре'тїего дн~е и^ нн~њ. н^о сами шеDше да събира'юT плњ'вы,

⁸

And thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: thou shalt not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.

⁸

и^ заро'къ зда'нїя плинъџе'ннаго ја%же сътворя'тъ, да творяT вс^я дн~и” Приложи'те, а^ не ё^емли'те ничто'же, празныя б^о дњю^тъ, и^ сего ради гл~ютъ да и'демъ и^ положимъ требђ б~ђ нашемђ.

⁹

Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.

⁹

ѓ^тягчи'те дњ'ла людемъ симъ, да ся и'ми пекђтъ, и^не помы'слятъ мы'сльми свои'ми

¹⁰

And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharao, I will give you straw no longer.

¹⁰

сђесло'вїя” Тща'хђ же ся приста'вницы, и^ кни'гочїя, и^ гл~ахђ людемъ рекђще” Се гл~ет# фараѓ'нъ, эTселњ не дамъ ваM плњв# но шеDше

¹¹

Go ye, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whencesoever ye can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.

¹¹

са'ми себњ събира'ите плњвы, и^деже ѓ^бря'щете. и^ заро'къ зда'нїя да дае'те, не ё%имет# б^о ся эT завњта ва'шего, ни ма'ложе”

¹²

So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.

¹²

И$ разыдо'шася вс^и лю'дїе по все'и земли` е^гљ=петъстњи, да съберђтъ тро'стїе на плњвы”

¹³

And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.

¹³

Приста'вницы же нђжда'хђ и^хъ, гл~юще, скончева'ите дњла ваша заро'чнаа на вся'къ дн~ь ја%коже и^ е^гда` плњвы даја%хоM вамъ”

¹⁴

And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, and questioned, men saying, Why have ye not fulfilled your rates of brick-work as yesterday and the third day, to-day also?

¹⁴

И$ даја%ше же раны кни'гочїя наро'дђ сн~овъ і^ил~евыхъ, и^же бњша приста'вленїи и^хъ эT преста'вникъ фараѓ'новыхъ гл~юще, почт^о не сконча'сте. заро'ка вашего пли'нџеннаго ја%коже вчера` и^ третїего дн~е та'коже и^ днsе”

¹⁵

And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?

¹⁵

ВъшеDше же кни'гочїя сн~овъ і^ил~евъ, възопи'ша ко фараѓ'нђ гл~юще, почт^отакотвори'ши рабо'мъ твои^м#

¹⁶

Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people.

¹⁶

плевелъ не дадя'тъ рабомъ твои^мъ веля'т же намъ пли'нџы твори'ти. се же раби` твои` мђ'чими сђть, кри'вдђ твори'ши людемъ свои^мъ”

¹⁷

And he said to them, Ye are idle, ye are idlers: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to our God.

¹⁷

И$ рече и^мъ ја^коже пра'здныя дње^те пра'здныя и^ гл~ете, и^ сего ради гл~ете, ја%ко да и'демъ и^ положи'мъ тре'бђ б~ђ нашемђ”

¹⁸

Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall return the rate of bricks.

¹⁸

Нн~њ ё^бо дњ'лаите шеDше, а^ плњвъ не дамъ вамъ, заро'к же зда'нїя плинџе'ннаго да дае'те”

¹⁹

And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, men saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.

¹⁹

Видя'хђ же кни'гочїя сн~овъ і^ил~евыхъ себе быти въ злњ`, гл~ще не съста'нется плинџъ заро'ка дн~и.

²⁰

And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.

²⁰

Стрњто'ста же и^хъ мољ=сїи, і^ а^а^роn и^дђща эT фараѓ'на,

²¹

And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for ye have made our savour abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to slay us.

²¹

и^ рњша и^ма, ви'ждь вамъ б~ъ, и^ сђди` ва'ма, ја%ко ѓ^гнђси'сте насъ преD фараѓ'номъ. и^ прDе мђжми` е^го, дати ме'чъ въ рђцњ ё^би'ти насъ”

²²

And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? and wherefore hast thou sent me?

²²

Възвра'ти же ся мољ=сїи къ г~ђ, и^ реq. молю' ти ся г~и, почто` вреди` лю'ди сїя, въскђ'ю же м^я посла`.

²³

For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people.

²³

эTнели'же бо въхождђ` къ фараѓ'нђ. гл~ати твои'мъ и%менемъ, ѓ%нъже вреди` лю'ди твоя`. и^ не и^зба'ви людїи твои^хъ”
