1 Después de esto, Moisés y Aarón fueron donde el Faraón y le dijeron: “Esto es lo que el Señor, el Dios de Israel dice: ‘deja ir a mi pueblo para que me haga una fiesta religiosa en el desierto’”.
1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2 “¿Quién es este ‘Señor’ para que yo escuche su petición de dejar ir a Israel?” respondió El Faraón. “¡No conozco al Señor y ciertamente no dejaré que Israel se vaya!”
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
3 “El Dios de los hebreos vino a nosotros”, añadieron. “Por favor, permítenos hacer un viaje de tres días al desierto y ofrecer sacrificios al Señor nuestro Dios. De lo contrario nos matará por enfermedad o por espada”.
3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
4 “Moisés y Aarón, ¿por qué intentan distraer al pueblo de su trabajo?” Preguntó el Faraón. “¡Vuelvan a su trabajo!” ordenó.
4 The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 “Mira aquí”, continuó. “Hay mucha gente tuya aquí en nuestro país y estás impidiendo que hagan el trabajo que se les ha asignado”.
5 Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 Ese mismo día ordenó a los capataces y a los encargados del pueblo:
6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7 “No les den más paja para hacer ladrillos como antes. Que vayan ellos mismos a recoger la paja.
7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 Pero que sigan produciendo la misma cantidad de ladrillos que antes. Son un pueblo perezoso, por eso gritan, pidiendo: ‘Por favor, déjanos ir y ofrecer sacrificios a nuestro Dios’.
8 You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 ¡Hagan que su trabajo sea más duro, para que puedan seguir trabajando y no se distraigan con todas estas mentiras!”
9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 Así que los capataces salieron y le dijeron al pueblo de Israel: “Esto es lo que el Faraón ha ordenado: ‘No les proveeré más paja.
10 The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 Vayan y recojan la paja donde puedan encontrarla, porque su cuota de trabajo no se reducirá’”.
11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12 Así que la gente iba por todo Egipto recogiendo rastrojos para la paja.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Loscapataces seguían forzándolos, diciendo: “¡Todavía tienen que hacer el mismo trabajo que hacían cuando recibían la paja!”
13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
14 Golpeaban a los supervisores israelitas que ellos habían puesto a cargo, gritándoles: “¿Por qué no han cumplido con su cuota de ladrillos como lo hicieron antes?”
14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15 Los supervisores israelitas fueron a quejarse al Faraón, diciendo: “¿Por qué nos tratas así a tus siervos?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16 No nos das nada de paja, pero tus capataces exigen que hagamos ladrillos, ¡y nos golpean! ¡Tu pueblo nos trata mal!”
16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 “¡No, ustedes solo son unos vagos, unos perezosos!” respondió el Faraón. “Por eso siguenrogando: ‘Por favor, déjanos ir y ofrecer sacrificios al Señor’.
17 But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18 ¡Ahora salgan de aquí y vayan a trabajar! ¡No se les dará paja, pero aún así tendrán que producir la cuota completa de ladrillos!”
18 Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19 Los supervisores israelitas se dieron cuenta de que estaban en problemas cuando les dijeron: “No deben reducir la producción diaria de ladrillos”.
19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 Se acercaron a Moisés y Aarón que los esperaban después de su encuentro con el Faraón,
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
21 y dijeron: “¡Que el Señor vea lo que han hecho y los juzgue por ello! Han hecho que el Faraón y sus oficiales se enojen con nosotros. ¡Han puesto una espada en sus manos para matarnos!”
21 They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 Moisés volvió donde el Señor y se quejó: “¿Por qué le has causado todos estos problemas a tu propio pueblo, Señor? ¿Fue para esto que me enviaste?
22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
23 “Desde que fui a ver al Faraón para hablar en tu nombre, él ha sido aún más duro con tu pueblo, ¡y no has hecho nada para salvarlo!”
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This abased Pharaoh. For, "I know not," he saith, "the Lord," and he became inferior to flies and frogs, and the locusts, and after that with his very arms and horses was he drowned in the sea.
