Exodus 10
1 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these My signs in the midst of them;
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔbisa no deɛ mahyɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ mma wo no. Nanso, mapirim ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ nyinaa akoma sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi ayɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree akyerɛ wɔn ama wɔahunu me tumi.
2 and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what I have wrought upon Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD.'
Na ɛnam so ma woatumi aka anwanwadeɛ a mayɛ wɔ Misraim asase so no akyerɛ wo mma ne wo mmanananom. Ka sɛdeɛ memaa Misraimfoɔ no yɛɛ wɔn adeɛ sɛ nkwaseafoɔ wɔ mʼanim no ne sɛdeɛ mema wɔhunuu sɛ mene Awurade no kyerɛ wɔn.”
3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before Me? let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Enti, Mose ne Aaron kɔhunuu Farao ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn se memmisa wo sɛ, ‘Nna dodoɔ sɛn na wopɛ sɛ wode bu me animtia? Ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔ na wɔnkɔsom me.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let My people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border;
Na sɛ woamma wɔn ankɔ a, ɔkyena nko ara mɛma ntutummɛ aba wʼasase yi so.
5 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field;
Wɔbɛkata asase no ani nyinaa. Na wɔbɛsɛe biribiara a ɛkaeɛ a asukɔtweaa a ɛtɔeɛ no ansɛe no no nyinaa a wiram nnua nyinaa ka ho.
6 and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day.' And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Mmoa no bɛhyɛ wʼahemfie hɔ, wo mpanimfoɔ afie mu ne Misraimfoɔ afie nyinaa ma tɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhaw a, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mo agyanom bɛtenaa asase yi so de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no, ebi nsii saa da.’” Na Mose firii Farao anim kɔeɛ.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him: 'How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God, knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?'
Afei, mpanimfoɔ a wɔwɔ Farao asɛnniiɛ no bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Nkɔsi da bɛn na wobɛma saa ɔbarima yi afa yɛn nnommum? Wonhunuu sɛ Misraim nyinaa adane amamfo? Ma nnipa no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn!”
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh; and he said unto them: 'Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are they that shall go?'
Enti, wɔsane de Mose ne Aaron baa Farao anim bio bɛbisaa Farao ɛkwan. Farao kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monkɔsom Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no. Na ɛhefoɔ na mo ne wɔn bɛkɔ?”
9 And Moses said: 'We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.'
Mose buaa Farao sɛ, “Yɛde mmɔfra ne mpanin, yɛn mmammarima, yɛn mmammaa, yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie na ɛbɛkɔ. Yɛde yɛn agyapadeɛ nyinaa na ɛbɛtu saa ɛkwan no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa kɔ Awurade afahyɛ no.”
10 And he said unto them: 'So be the LORD with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones; see ye that evil is before your face.
Farao de abufuo buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mɛma mode mmɔfra nketewa yi kɔ a, ɛnneɛ Awurade ankasa nka mo ho. Mahunu sɛ mowɔ adwemmɔne.
11 Not so; go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what ye desire.' And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa. Mo mmarima no, monkɔsom Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno na mobisaa me.” Farao pamoo wɔn firii nʼahemfie hɔ.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa wɔ Misraim so na ntutummɛ mmɛkata asase no nyinaa so, na wɔnni biribiara a asukɔtweaa no ansɛe no no.”
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Enti Mose maa ne poma so kyerɛɛ Misraim asase so maa Awurade bɔɔ mframa bi firii apueeɛ fam awia ne anadwo. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, na apueeɛ mframa no de ntutummɛ no abɛgu asase no so nyinaa.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Ntutummɛ no kataa Misraim asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Misraim abakɔsɛm kyerɛ sɛ, ntutummɛ mmaa ɔman no mu saa da na ebi nso remma saa bio.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Mmoa no kataa asase ani nyinaa ma wɔsii owia ani enti wɔmaa esum duruu asase no so. Wɔwee biribiara a asukɔtweaa no ansɛe no no; biribiara a ɛyɛ ahahammono anka; sɛ ɛyɛ dua anaa afifideɛ a ɛwɔ ɔman no mu baabiara no.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said: 'I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Ntɛm pa ara Farao tuu abɔfoɔ kɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no, ne mo nyinaa.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that He may take away from me this death only.'
Me nkotosrɛ a ɛdi akyire nie; momfa saa bɔne no nkyɛ me na monsrɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyi owuo yi mfiri yɛn so.”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Enti, Mose firii Farao anim kɔsrɛɛ Awurade.
19 And the LORD turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
Awurade bɔɔ atɔeɛ fam mframa denden bi ma ɛpiaa ntutummɛ no nyinaa kɔguu Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no mu, a anka ɔbaako pɛ koraa wɔ Misraim asase no so.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Nanso, Awurade pirim Farao akoma enti wamma Israelfoɔ no ankɔ.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa kyerɛ ɔsoro ma esum kabii mmɛduru Misraim asase so.”
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
Enti, Mose tenee ne nsa hwɛɛ soro maa esum kabii bɛduruu Misraim asase no so nnansa.
23 they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Esum no duruu saa no, na obiara ntumi ntu ne nan, nanso Israelfoɔ no deɛ, na deɛ wɔte hɔ yɛ hann.
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said: 'Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed; let your little ones also go with you.'
Farao frɛɛ Mose ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔsom Awurade. Wobɛtumi de wo mma aka wo ho akɔ; nanso wo nnwan ne wʼanantwie no deɛ, ma wɔnka ha.”
25 And Moses said: 'Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Nanso, Mose buaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie kɔ na yɛde wɔn mu bi bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.'
Aboa tɔte koraa yɛrennya wɔ ha; ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn no afɔdeɛ. Yɛnnim deɛ ɔbɛpɛ gye sɛ yɛduru hɔ.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Nanso, Awurade pirim Farao akoma enti wamma wɔn ankɔ.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him: 'Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.'
Farao teateaa Mose sɛ, “Firi ha kɔ ntɛm. Mma menhunu wo ha bio. Ɛda a wobɛba ha bio no, wobɛwu.”
29 And Moses said: 'Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.'
Mose buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, merenhunu wo bio.”
