Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn no pɛ sɛ wobɛma ne nkurɔfoɔ akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ama no.”
2 If however thou wilt not send my people away, but yet detainest them:
Sɛ wampene a,
3 behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon thy cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality.
Awurade tumi mu ɔyaredɔm bɛba abɛkum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfunumu, mo nyoma, mo anantwie, mo nnwan ne mo mpɔnkye nyinaa.
4 And I will make a marvellous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
Nanso, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ bɛto Israelfoɔ mmoa ne Misraimfoɔ mmoa ntam. Israelfoɔ mmoa deɛ, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
5 And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the land.
Awurade ahyɛ ɛberɛ pɔtee a ɔde ɔyaredɔm no bɛba. Ɔkaa sɛ adeɛ kye a, ɔbɛma ɔyaredɔm no aba asase no so.
6 And the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
Na ɛbaa saa. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nyɛmmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim no hyɛɛ aseɛ wuwuiɛ, nanso Israelman mu deɛ, ayɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anyare.
7 And when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Farao somaa nnipa kɔɔ Israel kɔhwɛɛ sɛ ampa ara ɛhɔ nyɛmmoa no bi anwu koraa anaa. Nnipa no bɛbɔɔ Farao amanneɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu nanso, nʼadwene ansesa. Wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharao, and before his servants.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsa nso mfiri fononoo mu, na Mose nto mpete ewiem wɔ Farao anim.
9 And let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts, in all the land of Egypt.
Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfuturo ama mpɔmpɔnini asisi nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
10 So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts.
Enti, wɔkɔsaa nso firii fononoo mu de kɔɔ Farao anim, na ɔrehwɛ no, Mose to petee ewiem na ɛdanee mpɔmpɔnini sisii nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa.
11 And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifoɔ no antumi ne Mose anni asie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
12 And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord appointed.
Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
13 And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao; and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpahema na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Hebrifoɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn no se, ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔsom me.
14 For at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into thine heart, and the heart of thy servants and of thy people; that thou mayest know that there is not another such as I in all the earth.
Afei deɛ, mede ɔhaw na ɛbɛto mo so na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo ne wʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne Misraimfoɔ nyinaa ahunu sɛ, Onyankopɔn biara nni asase yi so ka me ho.
15 For now I will stretch forth my hand and smite thee and kill thy people, and thou shalt be consumed from off the earth.
Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bɛkum mo nyinaa.
16 And for this purpose hast thou been preserved, that I might display in thee my strength, and that my name might bepublished in all the earth.
Nanso manyɛ no saa, ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.
17 Dost thou then yet exert thyself to hinder my people, so as not to let them go?
Woayɛ kyɛnkyerɛnn wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so a ɛno enti, womma wɔnkɔ.
18 Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
Ɔkyena saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, mɛma asukɔtweaa a ano yɛ den a ebi ntɔɔ Misraiman mu da atɔ.
19 Now then hasten to gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them, ) shall die.
Ntɛm! Monka mo anantwie a mode wɔn kɔ adidi no mmra efie. Ɛfiri sɛ, asukɔtweaa no bɛkum nnipa ne mmoa a wɔbɛka wiram no nyinaa.”
20 He of the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his cattle into the houses.
Misraimfoɔ a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ nyinaa baa efie.
21 And he that did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the cattle in the fields.
Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no gyaa wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ wɔ wiram maa asukɔtweaa no kaa wɔn.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand to heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa kyerɛ ɔsoro na ma ampariboɔ no ntɔ ngu nnipa, mmoa ne nnua a ɛwɔ Misraiman nyinaa so.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained hail on all the land of Egypt.
Enti, Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ ewiem maa Awurade maa ayerɛmo ne aprannaa dwidwaeɛ.
24 So there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon it.
Na ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ hu yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a wɔkyekyeree Misraim kɔsi saa ɛberɛ no, na aprannaa mpaapae saa da.
25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the hail smote all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the trees in the field.
Misraiman sɛee pasaa. Biribiara a ɛkaa wiram, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa no, wɔn nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Nnua nso bubuiɛ maa afudeɛ sɛeɛ.
26 Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was not.
Baabi a ampariboɔ no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfoɔ no te hɔ.
27 And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the Lord [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Afei, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Afei deɛ, mahunu me mfomsoɔ. Awurade di bem na me ne me nkurɔfoɔ ayɛ bɔne ama atra so.
28 Pray then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and ye shall remain no longer.
Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne ampariboɔ dodoɔ yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
29 And Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that thou mayest know that the earth [is] the Lord's.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mefiri kuropɔn yi mu ara pɛ a, mɛma me nsa so abɔ Awurade mpaeɛ na aprannaa no ne ampariboɔ no agyae. Yei bɛma mo ahunu sɛ Awurade na asase nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye have not yet feared the Lord.
Nanso, menim yie sɛ wo ne wo mpanimfoɔ deɛ, yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, mobɛpirim mo akoma.”
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was advanced, and the flax was seeding.
Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn ayuo ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛreso aba no nyinaa.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late.
Nanso, atokoɔ ne aburoo deɛ, ansɛe, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛmfifiriɛ.
33 And Moses went forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did not drop on the earth.
Enti Mose firii Farao anim wɔ kuro no mu maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ Awurade maa aprannaa no ne asukɔtweaa no ne osuo no gyaee tɔ.
34 And when Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants.
Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ hunuu sɛ biribiara ayɛ yie wɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ so pirim wɔn akoma yɛɛ bɔne de buu ɛbɔ a wɔhyɛɛ Awurade no so.
35 And the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
Enti, Farao amma nkurɔfoɔ no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
