- હવે અમને પરાળ આપવામાં આવતું નથી તેમ છતાં અમને કહેવામાં આવે છે કે પૂરતી ઈંટો પાડો; જરા જુઓ તો ખરા, અમને કેવો ત્રાસ આપવામાં આવે છે! ખરેખર, વાંક તો તમારા ઉપરીઓનો જ છે.”
- हिन्दी — निर्गमन ५:१६
- तेरे दासों को पुआल तो दिया ही नहीं जाता और वे हम से कहते रहते हैं, ‘ईंटें बनाओ, ईंटें बनाओ,’ और तेरे दासों ने भी मार खाई है; परन्तु दोष तेरे ही लोगों का है।”
In context
14The 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?”
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16No 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.”
17But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
