Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to 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 But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
Sɛ wampene a,
3 Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
Awurade tumi mu ɔyaredɔm bɛba abɛkum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfunumu, mo nyoma, mo anantwie, mo nnwan ne mo mpɔnkye nyinaa.
4 And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
Nanso, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ bɛto Israelfoɔ mmoa ne Misraimfoɔ mmoa ntam. Israelfoɔ mmoa deɛ, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
5 And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord 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 The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts 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 Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart 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 said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsa nso mfiri fononoo mu, na Mose nto mpete ewiem wɔ Farao anim.
9 And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole 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 out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and 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 Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, 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 unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
13 And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to 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 upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know 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 I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bɛkum mo nyinaa.
16 And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
Nanso manyɛ no saa, ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.
17 Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
Woayɛ kyɛnkyerɛnn wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so a ɛno enti, womma wɔnkɔ.
18 Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
Ɔkyena saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, mɛma asukɔtweaa a ano yɛ den a ebi ntɔɔ Misraiman mu da atɔ.
19 Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, 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 the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
Misraimfoɔ a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ nyinaa baa efie.
21 But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his 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 forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, 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 forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Enti, Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ ewiem maa Awurade maa ayerɛmo ne aprannaa dwidwaeɛ.
24 And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
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 destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
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 Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell 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, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: 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 ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.
Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne ampariboɔ dodoɔ yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
29 Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst 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 I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
Nanso, menim yie sɛ wo ne wo mpanimfoɔ deɛ, yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, mobɛpirim mo akoma.”
31 The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn ayuo ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛreso aba no nyinaa.
32 But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
Nanso, atokoɔ ne aburoo deɛ, ansɛe, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛmfifiriɛ.
33 And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon 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 Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
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 his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Enti, Farao amma nkurɔfoɔ no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
