Exodus 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kɔ Farao hɔ bio na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade se, Ma me nkurɔfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔsom me.
2 And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will strike all your borders with frogs:
Sɛ woampene so amma wɔankɔ a, mɛma mpɔtorɔ abɛhyɛ asase no so ma.
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
Wɔbɛyɛ Asubɔnten Nil ma, na wɔabɛhyɛ mo afie ma ma, na wɔakɔ mo mpia mu, na afoforɔ akɔ mo mpa so.
4 And the frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛ efie biara a ɛwɔ Misraim no mu ma. Wɔbɛhyɛ mo fononoo ne deɛ mode fɔtɔ asikyiresiam gu mu nyinaa ma ma. Na mpɔtorɔ no bɛbu afa mo so.’”
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa poma no nkyerɛ nsubɔntene, nsuwa ne atadeɛ a ɛwɔ Misraim nyinaa so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mpɔtorɔ bɛbu 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 yɛɛ saa maa mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa ma tɔ.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Nanso, nkonyaayifoɔ no nso yɛɛ saa ara maa mpɔtorɔ baa asase no so.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Implore the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsrɛ Awurade na ɔnyi mpɔtorɔ no mfiri asase yi so, na mɛma mo nkurɔfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔakɔbɔ no afɔdeɛ.”
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I implore for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?
Mose nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kyerɛ me ɛberɛ ko a wopɛ sɛ wɔkɔ. Me nso mɛbɔ ho mpaeɛ ama mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa awuwu wɔ baabiara wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛhyɛ me no mu, na aka asubɔnten no mu mpɔtorɔ no nko ara.”
10 And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
Farao kaa sɛ, “Monyɛ no ɔkyena nko ara.” Mose buaa sɛ, “Mate, ɛbɛba mu sɛdeɛ woaka no na ama woahunu sɛ obiara nni hɔ sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, no nko ara.
11 And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.
Mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa bɛwuwu ama aka wɔn a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu no.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
Mose ne Aaron firii Farao anim kɔeɛ. Mose kɔsrɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔnyi mponkyerɛne a ɔde wɔn abɛgu Farao so no.
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Awurade tiee Mose nkotosrɛ no. Mponkyerɛne wuwu hyɛɛ ɔman no mu ne afie mu ma tɔ.
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
Wɔboaboaa mponkyerɛne a wɔawuwuo no ano akuo akɛseakɛseɛ maa ɔman no mu bɔn yie.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Nanso, Farao hunuu sɛ mponkyerɛne no kɔ no, ɔsane pirim nʼakoma bio enti wamma nnipa no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne poma no mmɔ mfuturo na ɛbɛdane ntontom ahyɛ Misraim asase no so ma tɔ.”
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and stroke the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Enti, Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ wɔn no maa ntontom bɛhyɛɛ ɔman mu no ne mu nnipa ne wɔn nyɛmmoa so ma tɔ.
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Nkonyaayifoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nso de wɔn nyankomadeɛ yɛ saa ara, nanso wɔantumi.
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Nkonyaayifoɔ no kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Yei deɛ, Onyankopɔn nsa wɔ mu.” Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma enti wantie wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he comes forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɔre anɔpatutuutu kɔhyia Farao na sɛ ɔrebɛdware asubɔnten no mu a, woaka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade se: Ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔsom me.
21 Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
Na sɛ wantie a, mɛma nwansena agye Misraim afa. Mo afie mu ne asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ nwansena manyamanya.
22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
“‘Na nsonsonoeɛ kɛseɛ bɛda ɛha ne Gosen asase a Israelfoɔ no te so no ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, nwansena biara renkɔ hɔ. Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ, me Awurade mewɔ tumi wɔ Misraim asase yi so.
23 And I will put a division between my people and your people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
Na mɛma wo nkurɔfoɔ ho ada nso afiri me nkurɔfoɔ ho. Ɔkyena nko ara nsɛm a maka yi nyinaa bɛba mu.’”
24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
Awurade yɛɛ deɛ ɔkaeɛ no, enti nwansena bɛbu faa ɔman no so maa ebi kɔhyɛɛ Farao ahemfie ne Misraim afie nyinaa mu ma tɔ.
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go all of you, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Farao hunuu saa no, ntɛm ara, ɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monkɔbɔ afɔdeɛ mma mo Onyankopɔn, nanso mommɔ saa afɔdeɛ no wɔ ɔman yi ara mu. Monnkɔ ɛserɛ so.”
26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Nanso Mose kaa sɛ, “Saa deɛ, ɛrenyɛ yie. Yɛn afɔdeɛ a yɛbɔ ma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn no yɛ Misraimfoɔ akyiwadeɛ, enti sɛ yɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no wɔ ha a, wɔbɛkum yɛn.
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtu nnansa ɛkwan kɔ ɛserɛ so, na yɛkɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, sɛdeɛ wakyerɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnyɛ no.”
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that all of you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only all of you shall not go very far away: implore for me.
Farao kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, mɛma mo ɛkwan akɔ ɛserɛ so akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ, na mmom, monnkɔ akyiri. Monka mo ho na monkɔkoto nsrɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn mma me.”
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, and I will implore the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Sɛ me firi ha pɛ a, mɛbɔ Awurade mpaeɛ na ɔkyena nwansena bebrebe no ase bɛtɔre wɔ wo, wo mpanimfoɔ ne wo nkurɔfoɔ mu. Nanso, merebɔ wo kɔkɔ sɛ, hwɛ na woanhyɛ bɔ sɛ wobɛma nnipa no akɔ na akyire yi, woasesa wʼadwene.”
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and implored the LORD.
Enti, Mose firii Farao nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ Awurade sɛ, ɔntɔre nwansena no nyinaa ase.
31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
Na Awurade yɛɛ Mose abisadeɛ no, tɔree nwansena no nyinaa ase.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
Nanso, Farao sane pirim nʼakoma, enti wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
