| 2 | And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. | And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go. | Ma il Faraone rispose: Chi è l'Eterno che io debba ubbidire alla sua voce e lasciar andare Israele Io non conosco l'Eterno e non lascerò andare Israele. |

| 4 | And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens. | And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens. | Il re d'Egitto disse loro: Perché mai Mosè e Aaronne, distogliete il popolo dal suo lavoro?

| 8 | And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. | And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. | Ma imponete loro la stessa quantità di mattoni che facevano prima, senza diminuzione alcuna; poiché sono dei pigri; e per questo essi gridano, dicendo: "Andiamo a sacrificare al nostro DIO!". |
| 9 | Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words. | Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words. | Sovraccaricate questi uomini di duro lavoro, ed essi lo facciano senza dar retta a parole d'inganno. |
| 10 | And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. | And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. | Allora gli oppressori del popolo e i suoi sovrintendenti uscirono e dissero al popolo: Così dice il Faraone: "Io non vi darò più paglia. |
| 11 | Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished. | Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished. | Andate voi stessi a procurarvi della paglia dovunque ne potete trovare, perché il vostro lavoro non sarà per nulla diminuito". |

Per questo dite: "Andiamo a sacrificare all'Eterno". |
| 18 | Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. | Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks. | Or dunque andate a lavorare! Non vi sarà data paglia, ma consegnerete la stessa quantità di mattoni. |

| 20 | And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: | And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: | Poi, come uscivano dal Faraone, incontrarono Mosè e Aaronne, che stavano ad aspettarli, |
| 21 | And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. | and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. | e dissero loro: L'Eterno volga lo sguardo su di voi e giudichi, poiché ci avete resi odiosi agli occhi del Faraone e agli occhi dei suoi servi nel mettere nelle loro mani la spada per ucciderci. |
| 22 | And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? | And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? | Allora Mosè tornò dall'Eterno e disse: Signore, perché hai messo questo popolo nei guai? Perché dunque mi hai mandato? |
| 23 | For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all. | For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all. | Poiché, da quando sono andato dal Faraone, a parlare in tuo nome, egli ha fatto del male a questo popolo e tu non hai affatto liberato il tuo popolo. |
