Exodus 8
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kɔ Farao hɔ bio na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade se, Ma me nkurɔfo no kwan na wɔnkɔsom me.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Sɛ woampene so amma wɔankɔ a, mɛma mpɔtorɔ abɛhyɛ asase no so ma.
3 The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛ Asubɔnten Nil ma. Wɔbɛba wʼahemfi, na wɔakɔ mo mpia mu, na afoforo akɔ mo mpa so, mo nkurɔfo ne mpanyimfo afi mu, ne mo fononoo ne nea mode fɔtɔw asikresiam nyinaa amaama.
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
Mpɔtorɔ no bɛba mo nkurɔfo ne mpanyimfo nyinaa so.’”
5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa pema no nkyerɛ nsubɔnten, nsuwa ne atare a ɛwɔ Misraim nyinaa so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, mpɔtorɔ bebu so wɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa.”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Aaron teɛɛ ne nsa wɔ Misraim nsu so maa mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa ma tɔ.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
Nanso nkonyaayifo no nso yɛɛ saa ara maa mpɔtorɔ baa asase no so.
8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
Afei, Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔsrɛ Awurade na onyi mpɔtorɔ no mfi asase yi so, na mɛma mo nkurɔfo no kwan na wɔakɔbɔ no afɔre.”
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
Mose nso ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛ me bere ko a wopɛ sɛ wɔkɔ. Me nso mɛbɔ ho mpae ama mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa awuwu wɔ baabiara wɔ bere a wobɛhyɛ me no mu, na aka asubɔnten no mu mpɔtorɔ no nko ara.”
10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
Farao kae se, “Monyɛ no ɔkyena nko ara.” Mose buae se, “Mate, ɛbɛba mu sɛnea woaka no na ama woahu sɛ obiara nni hɔ sɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, no nko ara.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa bewuwu ama aka wɔn a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu no.”
12 After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
Mose ne Aaron fii Farao anim kɔe. Mose kɔsrɛɛ Awurade sɛ onyi mpɔtorɔ a ɔde wɔn abegu Farao so no.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
Awurade tiee Mose nkotosrɛ no. Mpɔtorɔ wuwu hyɛɛ ɔman no mu ne afi mu ma tɔ.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
Wɔboaboaa mpɔtorɔ a wɔawuwu no ano akuw akɛseakɛse maa ɔman no mu bɔn yiye.
15 When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
Nanso Farao huu sɛ mpɔtorɔ no kɔ no, ɔsan pirim ne koma bio enti wamma nnipa no ankɔ sɛnea Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron se, ‘Teɛ wo pema no bɔ fam mfutuma na ɛbɛdan ntontom ahyɛ Misraim asase no so ma tɔ.’”
17 This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no maa ntontom bɛhyɛɛ ɔman mu no ne mu nnipa ne wɔn nyɛmmoa so ma tɔ. Misraim mfutuma nyinaa dan ntontom.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
Nkonyaayifo no pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nso de wɔn anyankamade yɛ saa ara, nanso wɔantumi.
19 “This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
Nkonyaayifo no kyerɛɛ Farao se, “Eyi de Onyankopɔn nsa wɔ mu.” Nanso Farao pirim ne koma enti wantie wɔn sɛnea Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
20 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sɔre anɔpatutuutu kohyia Farao bere a ɔrekɔ asubɔnten no mu no na, ka akyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade se: Ma me nkurɔfo nkɔ na wɔnkɔsom me.
21 But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
Na sɛ woamma me nkurɔfo ankɔ a, mɛma nwansena agye Misraim afa. Mo afi mu ne asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ nwansena manyamanya.
22 But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
“‘Na nsonoe kɛse bɛda ɛha ne Gosen asase a Israelfo no te so no ntam, efisɛ nwansena biara renkɔ hɔ. Na ɛbɛma woahu sɛ, me Awurade mewɔ asase yi so.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
Na mɛma wo nkurɔfo ho ada nsow afi me nkurɔfo ho. Saa nsɛnkyerɛnne yi besi ɔkyena.’”
24 And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
Awurade yɛɛ nea ɔkae no, enti nwansena bebu faa ɔman no so maa bi kɔhyɛɛ Farao ahemfi ne Misraim afi nyinaa mu amaama.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
Na Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔbɔ afɔre mma mo Nyankopɔn wɔ ɔman yi ara mu.”
26 But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
Nanso Mose kae se, “Saa de, ɛrenyɛ ye. Yɛn afɔre a yɛbɔ ma Onyankopɔn no yɛ Misraimfo no ani so akyiwade, so wɔrensiw yɛn abo ana?
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ yetu nnansa kwan kɔ sare so, na yɛkɔbɔ afɔre ma Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, sɛnea ɔhyɛ yɛn no.”
28 Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
Farao kae se, “Mɛma mo kwan akɔ sare so akɔbɔ afɔre, na mmom, monnkɔ akyiri. Afei, mommɔ mpae mma me.”
29 “As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
Mose buae se, “Sɛ mifi ha pɛ a, mɛbɔ Awurade mpae na ɔkyena nwansena bebrebe no ase bɛtɔre afi wo, wo mpanyimfo ne wo nkurɔfo so. Nanso Farao nhwɛ yiye sɛ ɔrennaadaa bio a ɔremma nnipa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ afɔre mma Awurade.”
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Enti Mose fii Farao nkyɛn kɔbɔɔ Awurade mpae,
31 and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
na Awurade yɛɛ Mose abisade no. Nwansena no nyinaa ase tɔre fii Farao ne ne mpanyimfo so; anka ɔbaako mpo.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
Nanso Farao san pirim ne koma a wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
