Exodus 7
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mayɛ wo sɛ Onyankopɔn ama Farao na wo nua Aaron nso bɛyɛ wo diyifo.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel 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 And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Na mepirim Farao koma, na mayɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree wɔ Misraim
4 And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
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 shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel 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 And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, 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 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — 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 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, 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 And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafo ne ne nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwonwade koro no ara bi.
12 they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
Wɔn nso pema tumi dan ɔwɔ. Nanso Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn de no.
13 And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ komaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ otie asɛm a Awurade kae no.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth 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 unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
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 And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
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 Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into 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 And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
Mpataa a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu nyinaa bewuwu ama nsu no abɔn a Misraimfo no rentumi nnom.’”
19 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] 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 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into 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 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was 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 And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah 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 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
Ɔsan kɔɔ nʼahemfi a hwee ampusuw no.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of 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 days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
Asubɔnten a ɛdan mogya no dii nnaawɔtwe.
