Exodus 8
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve 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 And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.
Sɛ woampene so amma wɔankɔ a, mɛma mpɔtorɔ abɛhyɛ asase no so ma.
3 And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.
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 And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.
Mpɔtorɔ no bɛba mo nkurɔfo ne mpanyimfo nyinaa so.’”
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on 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 And 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 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
Nanso nkonyaayifo no nso yɛɛ saa ara maa mpɔtorɔ baa asase no so.
8 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.
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 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?
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 And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah 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 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.
Mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa bewuwu ama aka wɔn a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu no.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of 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 Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
Awurade tiee Mose nkotosrɛ no. Mpɔtorɔ wuwu hyɛɛ ɔman no mu ne afi mu ma tɔ.
14 And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank.
Wɔboaboaa mpɔtorɔ a wɔawuwu no ano akuw akɛseakɛse maa ɔman no mu bɔn yiye.
15 And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah 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 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become 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 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became 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 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.
Nkonyaayifo no pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nso de wɔn anyankamade yɛ saa ara, nanso wɔantumi.
19 Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah 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 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh — behold, he will go out to the water — and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve 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 For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.
Na sɛ woamma me nkurɔfo ankɔ a, mɛma nwansena agye Misraim afa. Mo afi mu ne asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ nwansena manyamanya.
22 And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of 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 And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.
Na mɛma wo nkurɔfo ho ada nsow afi me nkurɔfo ho. Saa nsɛnkyerɛnne yi besi ɔkyena.’”
24 And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-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 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Na Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔbɔ afɔre mma mo Nyankopɔn wɔ ɔman yi ara mu.”
26 And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would 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 will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.
Ɛsɛ sɛ yetu nnansa kwan kɔ sare so, na yɛkɔbɔ afɔre ma Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, sɛnea ɔhyɛ yɛn no.”
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
Farao kae se, “Mɛma mo kwan akɔ sare so akɔbɔ afɔre, na mmom, monnkɔ akyiri. Afei, mommɔ mpae mma me.”
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
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 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
Enti Mose fii Farao nkyɛn kɔbɔɔ Awurade mpae,
31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
na Awurade yɛɛ Mose abisade no. Nwansena no nyinaa ase tɔre fii Farao ne ne mpanyimfo so; anka ɔbaako mpo.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
Nanso Farao san pirim ne koma a wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
