Exodus 9
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, 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 For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
Sɛ wampene a,
3 behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
Awurade tumi mu ɔyaredɔm bɛba abɛkum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfunumu, mo nyoma, mo anantwie, mo nnwan ne mo mpɔnkye nyinaa.
4 And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
Nanso, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ bɛto Israelfoɔ mmoa ne Misraimfoɔ mmoa ntam. Israelfoɔ mmoa deɛ, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
5 And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in 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 Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel 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 Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh 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 Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsa nso mfiri fononoo mu, na Mose nto mpete ewiem wɔ Farao anim.
9 And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout 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 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
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 scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifoɔ no antumi ne Mose anni asie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
12 And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
13 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, 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 I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me 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 shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bɛkum mo nyinaa.
16 And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
Nanso manyɛ no saa, ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.
17 Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Woayɛ kyɛnkyerɛnn wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so a ɛno enti, womma wɔnkɔ.
18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
Ɔkyena saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, mɛma asukɔtweaa a ano yɛ den a ebi ntɔɔ Misraiman mu da atɔ.
19 And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they 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 that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
Misraimfoɔ a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ nyinaa baa efie.
21 But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no gyaa wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ wɔ wiram maa asukɔtweaa no kaa wɔn.
22 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
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 out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Enti, Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ ewiem maa Awurade maa ayerɛmo ne aprannaa dwidwaeɛ.
24 And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
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 throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of 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 Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Baabi a ampariboɔ no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfoɔ no te hɔ.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
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 Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay 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 go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah'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 to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
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 in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn ayuo ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛreso aba no nyinaa.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
Nanso, atokoɔ ne aburoo deɛ, ansɛe, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛmfifiriɛ.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured 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 Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
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 Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
Enti, Farao amma nkurɔfoɔ no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
