< Exodus 11 >

1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Yet one plague will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go altogether, he shall utterly drive you out hence.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mɛma ɔhaw a ɛtwa toɔ aba Farao ne nʼasase so. Na ɛno akyiri no, ɔbɛma mo akɔ. Nokorɛm, ne ho bɛpere no sɛ mobɛfiri ne ho ama ɔno ara apamo mo afiri ɔman no mu.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, that they ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, utensils of silver and utensils of gold.
Monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa sɛ, wɔmmisa wɔn amannifoɔ Misraimfoɔ no na wɔmma wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ adwinneɛ.”
3 And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt — in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes of the people.
Awurade maa Misraimfoɔ no hunuu Israelfoɔ no mmɔbɔ, na Mose nso yɛɛ onipa kɛseɛ a na Farao mpanimfoɔ ne Misraimfoɔ no bu no yie wɔ ɔman no mu.
4 And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah: About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt.
Mose bɔɔ Farao amaneɛ sɛ, “Awurade se menka nkyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Anadwo nnɔndumienu mɛtwam wɔ Misraim asase so.
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sitteth on his throne, even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Na Misraim fie biara mu ɔbabarima panin bɛwu. Ɛfiri Farao babarima panin so, ne dehyeɛ a ɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ, ne ɔsomfoɔ mu ɔsomfoɔ kumaa koraa ba panin ne ne nyɛmmoa abakan nyinaa bɛwuwu.
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Na owuo no ho agyaadwotwa bɛduru Misraim asase so nyinaa. Awerɛhoɔ a ɛte saa mmaa Misraim asase so da, na ebi nso remma da bio.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know that Jehovah distinguisheth between the Egyptians and Israel.
Na Israelfoɔ mu deɛ, biribiara bɛyɛ dwoodwoo na ɔkraman mpo rempɔ.’ Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ ato Misraimfoɔ ne Israelfoɔ ntam!
8 And all these thy bondmen shall come down unto me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out, thou, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a glowing anger.
Wo mpanimfoɔ yi nyinaa bɛtu mmirika, adi mʼakyiri, akoto asrɛ sɛ, ‘Yɛpa wo kyɛw, firi ha ntɛm na kɔfa wo nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa ka wo ho kɔ.’ Sɛ ɛba saa a ansa na mɛkɔ!” Mose wiee kasa no, ɔde abufuhyeɛ firii ahemfie hɔ kɔeɛ.
9 And Jehovah had said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose sɛ, “Asɛm a wobɛka no, Farao rentie. Na ɛno so na mɛgyina ayɛ anwanwadeɛ de ada me tumi adi.”
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; but Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Ɛwom sɛ Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ saa anwanwadeɛ no nyinaa wɔ Farao anim nanso Awurade pirim nʼakoma sɛdeɛ ɔremma nnipa no mfiri asase no so nkɔ.
