Farao bisaa sɛ, “Mose ne Aaron, adɛn enti na morema nkurɔfoɔ no agyae wɔn nnwuma? Monkɔ mo nnwuma so ntɛm!”
5 Ndiponso Farao anati, “Taonani, anthuwa mʼdziko muno alipo ochuluka, ndipo inu mukuwaletsa kugwira ntchito.”
Farao toaa so sɛ, “Seesei, saa nnipa no dɔɔso sene ɔmanfoɔ no, nanso mopɛ sɛ moma ahɔhoɔ no gyae adwumayɛ.”
6 Pa tsiku lomwelo Farao analamulira akapitawo a thangata ndi anzawo a Chiisraeli amene ankayangʼanira anthu kuti

17 Farao anati, “Ulesi, inu ndinu alesi! Nʼchifukwa chake mukumanena kuti, ‘Mutilole tipite kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.’
Nanso, Farao buaa sɛ, “Monni dwuma bi di, na sɛ mowɔ dwuma bi di a, anka morenka sɛ, ‘Momma yɛnkɔbɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.’
18 Pitani tsopano kuntchito. Simudzapatsidwanso udzu komabe muyenera kuwumba muyeso wanu wovomerezeka wa njerwa.”
Monsane nkɔyɛ adwuma ntɛm. Obiara remma mo ɛserɛ, nanso ntayaa dodoɔ a motwa no daa no, saa ara na mobɛtwa.”
