| 1 | After these things Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go that they may sacrifice to me in the desert. | Post haec ingressi sunt Moyses et Aaron, et dixerunt Pharaoni: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto. |
| 2 | But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. | At ille respondit: Quis est Dominus, ut audiam vocem eius, et dimittam Israël? nescio Dominum, et Israël non dimittam. |
| 3 | And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three days’ journey into the wilderness and to sacrifice to the Lord our God: lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us. | Dixeruntque: Deus Hebraeorum vocavit nos, ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro: ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius. |
| 4 | The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens. | Ait ad eos rex Aegypti: Quare Moyses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis? ite ad onera vestra. |
| 5 | And Pharao said: The people of the land is numerous: you see that the multitude is increased: how much more if you give them rest from their works? | Dixitque Pharao: Multus est populus terrae: videtis quod turba succreverit: quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus? |
| 6 | Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying: | Praecepit ergo in die illo praefectis operum et exactoribus populi, dicens: |
| 7 | You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them go and gather straw. | Nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres, sicut prius: sed ipsi vadant, et colligant stipulas. |
| 8 | And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God. | Et mensuram laterum, quam prius faciebant, imponetis super eos, nec minuetis quidquam: vacant enim, et idcirco vociferantur, dicentes: Eamus, et sacrificemus Deo nostro. |
| 9 | Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words. | Opprimantur operibus, et expleant ea: ut non acquiescant verbis mendacibus. |
| 10 | And the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao, I allow you no straw: | Igitur egressi praefecti operum et exactores ad populum, dixerunt: Sic dicit Pharao: Non do vobis paleas: |
| 11 | Go, and gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished. | ite, et colligite sicubi invenire poteritis, nec minuetur quidquam de opere vestro. |
| 12 | And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw. | Dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Aegypti ad colligendas paleas. |
| 13 | And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfill your work every day as before you were wont to do when straw was given you. | Praefecti quoque operum instabant, dicentes: Complete opus vestrum quotidie, ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleae. |
| 14 | And they that were over the works of the children of Israel were scourged by Pharao’s taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks both yesterday and today as before? | Flagellatique sunt qui praeerant operibus filiorum Israël, ab exactoribus Pharaonis, dicentibus: Quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius, nec heri, nec hodie? |
| 15 | And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants? | Veneruntque praepositi filiorum Israël, et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes: Cur ita agis contra servos tuos? |
| 16 | Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal. | paleae non dantur nobis, et lateres similiter imperantur: en famuli tui flagellis caedimur, et iniuste agitur contra populum tuum. |
| 17 | And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord. | Qui ait: Vacatis otio, et idcirco dicitis: Eamus, et sacrificemus Domino. |
| 18 | Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks. | Ite ergo, et operamini: paleae non dabuntur vobis, et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum. |
| 19 | And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day. | Videbantque se praepositi filiorum Israël in malo, eo quod diceretur eis: Non minuetur quidquam de lateribus per singulos dies. |
| 20 | And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao: | Occurreruntque Moysi et Aaron, qui stabant ex adverso, egredientibus a Pharaone: |
| 21 | And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword to kill us. | et dixerunt ad eos: Videat Dominus et iudicet, quoniam foetere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharaone et servis eius, et praebuistis ei gladium, ut occideret nos. |
| 22 | And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me? | Reversusque est Moyses ad Dominum, et ait: Domine, cur afflixisti populum istum? quare misisti me? |
| 23 | For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them. | ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer in nomine tuo, afflixit populum tuum: et non liberasti eos. |
