Exodus 6

1 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand shall he send them away, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wobɛhunu deɛ mede bɛyɛ Farao. Menam me tumi so bɛhyɛ no na wama me nkurɔfoɔ no akɔ. Nokorɛm, mɛhyɛ no ama wapam wɔn afiri asase no so.”

2 And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:

Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mene Awurade no.

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God, the Almighty, but by my name The Eternal was I not made known to them.

Meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ. Nanso, mammɔ me din sɛ Awurade no ankyerɛ wɔn.

4 And as I did also establish my covenant with them, to give unto them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they sojourned:

Na me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ apam sɛ mede Kanaan asase a na tete no wɔte so sɛ ahɔhoɔ no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ.

5 So have I also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians compel to labor; and I have remembered my covenant.

Afei, mate Israelfoɔ apinisie ne nya a Misraimfoɔ di wɔn no nyinaa na makae me ne wɔn apam no.

6 Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Eternal, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will release you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

“Enti, ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ de ayi wɔn afiri nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you for a God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Mɛgye wɔn atom sɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afiri Misraimfoɔ nsam no.

8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I did lift up my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the Lord.

Mede wɔn bɛba asase a mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ mede bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so. Saa asase no bɛyɛ mo agyapadeɛ. Mene Awurade no.’”

9 And Moses spoke thus unto the children of Israel; but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

Enti, Mose kaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no, nanso wɔantie, ɛsiane abasamutuo a ɛfiri ɔhyɛ ntrasoɔ enti.

10 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, that he shall let the children of Israel go out of his land.

“Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ.”

12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me: how then shall Pharaoh hear me, whereas I am of uncircumcised lips?

Nanso, Mose kaa sɛ, “Dabi, afei deɛ, me ara me nkurɔfoɔ no rentie asɛm a mɛka biara bio. Na mʼano nso nteeɛ yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi akasa ama atɔ Farao asom?”

13 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnsane nkɔ Israelfoɔ no ne Farao a ɔyɛ Misraimfoɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔmfiri Misraim asase so nkɔ.

26 These are Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.

Saa Aaron ne Mose yi ara na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔyi Israelfoɔ nyinaa mfiri Misraim asase so” no.

27 These are they that spoke to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, to bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt: these are Moses and Aaron.

Na wɔn na wɔkɔɔ Farao hɔ kɔsrɛɛ no ɛkwan sɛ ɔmma wɔnni Israelfoɔ no anim nyi wɔn mfiri asase no so.

28 And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt.

Ɛda a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Misraim asase so no,

29 Then spoke the Lord unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord; speak thou unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.

ɔkaa sɛ, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim ɔhempɔn no.”

30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bio sɛ “Mʼano nteeɛ yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na asɛm a mɛka no bɛtɔ Farao asom ama watie me?”
