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 shew these my signs before him:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “San kɔ Farao nkyɛn efisɛ mapirim ɔne ne mpanyimfo nyinaa koma sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi ayɛ me nsɛnkyerɛnne ahorow yi wɔ wɔn mu
2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD.
na ɛnam so ama woatumi aka anwonwade a mayɛ wɔ Misraim asase so no akyerɛ wo mma ne wo nenanom, sɛnea me ne Misraimfo no dii no nwenweenwen ne sɛnea meyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ahorow wɔ wɔn mu no, na ama woahu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD 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 kohuu Farao ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifo Nyankopɔn no se mimmisa wo se, ‘Enkosi da bɛn na wubebu me animtiaa? Ma me nkurɔfo nkɔ na wɔnkɔsom me.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
Sɛ woamma wɔn ankɔ a, ɔkyena nko ara mɛma mmoadabi aba wo man yi mu.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot 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 wɔbɛwe biribiara a ɛkae a mparuwbo a ɛtɔe no ansɛe no no nyinaa a wuram nnua nyinaa ka ho.
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Mmoa no bɛhyɛ wʼahemfi hɔ, wo mpanyimfo afi mu ne Misraimfo afi nyinaa ma tɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhaw a, efi bere a mo agyanom bɛtenaa asase yi so de besi nnɛ no, bi nsii saa da.’” Na Mose fii Farao anim kɔe.
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?
Farao mpanyimfo bisaa no se, “Enkosi da bɛn na saa ɔbarima yi bɛyɛ yɛn konnua? Wunhuu sɛ Misraim nyinaa adan amamfo? Ma nnipa no kwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no!”
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 wɔsan de Mose ne Aaron baa Farao anim. Farao kae se, “Eye, monkɔsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Na ɛhefo 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 will we go; for we [must hold] a feast unto the LORD.
Mose buaa Farao se, “Yɛde mmofra ne mpanyin, yɛn mmabarima, yɛn mmabea, yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi na ɛbɛkɔ. Yɛde yɛn agyapade nyinaa na ebetu saa kwan no, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa kɔ Awurade afahyɛ no.”
10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it; ] for evil [is] before you.
Farao de abufuw buae se, “Sɛ mɛma mode mmofra nketewa yi akɔ a, ɛno de, Awurade ankasa nka mo ho. Mahu sɛ mowɔ adwemmɔne.
11 Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa. Mo mmarima no, monkɔsom Awurade, efisɛ ɛno na mobisaa me.” Farao pam wɔn fii nʼahemfi hɔ.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine 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 se, “Teɛ wo nsa wɔ Misraim so na mmoadabi mmɛkata asase no nyinaa so, na wonni biribiara a mparuwbo 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 [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Enti Mose maa ne pema so kyerɛɛ Misraim asase so maa Awurade bɔɔ mframa bi fii apuei fam awia ne anadwo. Ade kyee no, na apuei mframa no de mmoadabi no abegu asase no so nyinaa.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous [were they; ] before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Mmoadabi no kataa Misraim asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Misraim abakɔsɛm kyerɛ se, mmoadabi mmaa ɔman no mu saa da na bi 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 in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Mmoa no kataa asase ani nyinaa ma wosiw owia ani enti wɔmaa sum duruu asase no so. Wɔwee biribiara a mparuwbo no ansɛe no no; biribiara a ɛyɛ ahabammono anka; sɛ ɛyɛ dua anaa afifide 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 abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ne mo nyinaa.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Afei, momfa me bɔne nkyɛ me bio na monsrɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛ onyi owu yi mfi yɛn so.”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Enti Mose fii Farao anim kɔsrɛɛ Awurade.
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
Awurade bɔɔ atɔe fam mframa dennen bi ma epiaa mmoadabi no nyinaa koguu Po Kɔkɔɔ no mu, a anka ɔbaako pɛ koraa wɔ Misraim asase no so.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma Israelfo no ankɔ.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa kyerɛ soro mma sum kabii mmeduru 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 teɛɛ ne nsa hwɛɛ soro maa sum kabii beduruu 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.
Sum no duruu saa no, na obiara nhu hwee na wontumi ntu wɔn anan nso nnansa. Nanso Israelfo no de, na nea 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 se, “Kɔ na kɔsom Awurade. Wubetumi de wo mma aka wo ho akɔ; nanso wo nguan ne wʼanantwi no de, ma wɔnka ha.”
25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Nanso Mose buae se, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi kɔ na yɛde wɔn mu bi bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an 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 yɛrennyaw wɔ ha; ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn no afɔre. Yennim nea ɔbɛpɛ gye sɛ yedu hɔ.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma wɔn ankɔ.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in [that] day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Farao teɛteɛɛ Mose se, “Fi mʼani so kɔ! Mɛhwɛ sɛ woremma mʼanim bio! Da a wubehu mʼanim no, wubewu.”
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Mose buae se, “Meremma wʼanim bio sɛnea woreka no pɛpɛɛpɛ.”
