Exodus 7
1 The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mayɛ wo sɛ Onyankopɔn ama Farao na wo nua Aaron nso bɛyɛ wo diyifo.
2 You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
Asɛm biara a mɛka akyerɛ wo no, ka kyerɛ Aaron, na ɔno nso nka nkyerɛ Farao sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim.
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
Na mepirim Farao koma, na mayɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree wɔ Misraim
4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
nanso ɔrentie mo. Na mɛfa atemmu a mu yɛ den so de me nsa ato Misraim so na mayi me nkurɔfo Israelfo no.
5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”
Na sɛ mekyerɛ me tumi kyerɛ Misraimfo no a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, na mayi me nkurɔfo no afi mu.”
6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Bere a Mose ne Aaron kohyiaa Farao no, na Mose adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe, na Aaron nso adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe abiɛsa.
8 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
9 “When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”
“Farao bɛhwehwɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ anwonwade akyerɛ no ama wahu sɛ, nokware, Onyankopɔn na wasoma mo. Sɛ obisa saa a, Aaron ntow ne pema no nkyene fam na ɛbɛdan ɔwɔ.”
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
Enti Mose ne Aaron kɔɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔyɛɛ anwonwade no sɛnea Awurade akyerɛ wɔn no. Aaron tow ne pema no kyenee fam wɔ Farao ne ne nkurɔfo anim ma ɛdan ɔwɔ.
11 But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafo ne ne nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwonwade koro no ara bi.
12 Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
Wɔn nso pema tumi dan ɔwɔ. Nanso Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn de no.
13 Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ komaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ otie asɛm a Awurade kae no.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Farao apirim ne koma nti, ɔbɛkɔ so asiw nnipa no kwan sɛ ɔremma wɔnkɔ.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
Nanso Awurade kae se: San kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpa a ɔrekɔ asubɔnten no mu. Kogyina asu no konkɔn so na hyia no wɔ hɔ a wukura wo pema a ɛdan ɔwɔ no.
16 Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
Ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade, Hebrifo Nyankopɔn asan asoma me wo nkyɛn sɛ ma nnipa no kwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom me wɔ sare so. Woayɛ asoɔden.
17 This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
Afei, Awurade se: Wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no. Efisɛ maka akyerɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa ne pema no mmɔ Nil asu no mu na nsu no bɛdan mogya.
18 The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
Mpataa a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu nyinaa bewuwu ama nsu no abɔn a Misraimfo no rentumi nnom.’”
19 And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne pema no nkyerɛ nsu a ɛwɔ Misraim no nyinaa; wɔn nsubɔnten, wɔn nsuwa, wɔn atare ne wɔn nsu a ɛtaataa hɔ ne nsu a ɛwɔ afi mu nyinaa so na ɛbɛdan mogya.”
20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ wɔn no. Bere a Farao ne ne mpanyimfo gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, Aaron de pema no bɔɔ Nil ani maa asubɔnten no dan mogya.
21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
Mpataa a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa wuwu maa nsu no bɔnee, enti na Misraimfo no ntumi nnom. Misraim asase so nyinaa dan mogya.
22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
Nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim nso nam wɔn nkonyaayi so maa nsu dan mogya, nti Farao kɔɔ so pirim ne koma a na ontie asɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no no.
23 Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
Ɔsan kɔɔ nʼahemfi a hwee ampusuw no.
24 So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
Misraimfo no tutuu mmura wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn so sɛnea wobenya nsu anom, efisɛ na wontumi nnom asubɔnten no mu nsu.
25 And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
Asubɔnten a ɛdan mogya no dii nnaawɔtwe.
