< Exodus 6 >
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Now you see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he sends them away, indeed, with a strong hand he casts them out of his land.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wubehu nea mede bɛyɛ Farao. Menam me tumi so bɛhyɛ no na wama me nkurɔfo no akɔ; me basa kokuroo no bɛma wapam wɔn afi ɔman no mu.”
2 And God speaks to Moses and says to him, “I [am] YHWH,
Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mene Awurade no.
3 and I appear to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; as for My Name YHWH, I have not been known to them;
Miyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfo. Nanso mammɔ me din sɛ Awurade no ankyerɛ wɔn.
4 and I have also established My covenant with them, to give the land of Canaan to them, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;
Na me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ apam sɛ mede Kanaan asase a na tete no wɔte so sɛ ahɔho no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo.
5 and I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.
Bio, mate Israelfo apinisi ne nya a Misraimfo di wɔn no nyinaa na makae me ne wɔn apam no.
6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel: I [am] YHWH, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by an outstretched arm, and by great judgments,
“Enti ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwonwade de ayi wɔn afi nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.
7 and have taken you to Myself for a people, and I have been to you for God, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians;
Megye wɔn ato mu sɛ me nkurɔfo na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afi Misraimfo nsam no.
8 and I have brought you to the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you—a possession; I [am] YHWH.”
Mede wɔn bɛba asase a mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ mede bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so. Saa asase no bɛyɛ mo agyapade. Mene Awurade no.’”
9 And Moses speaks so to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.
Enti Mose kaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no, nanso wɔantie, esiane abawpa a efi ɔhyɛ ntraso nti.
10 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he sends the sons of Israel out of his land”;
“San kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no mfi ne man no mu nkɔ.”
12 and Moses speaks before YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me, and how does Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?”
Nanso Mose kae se, “Sɛ Israelfo no rentie me a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Farao betie me, bere a mʼano ntewee yi?”
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, and charges them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnsan nkɔ Israelfo no ne Farao a ɔyɛ Misraimfo hene no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim asase so nkɔ.

26 This [is] Aaron—and Moses—to whom YHWH said, “Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts”;
Saa Aaron ne Mose yi ara na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munkoyi Israelfo nyinaa mfi Misraim asase so” no.
27 these are they who are speaking to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt, this [is] Moses—and Aaron.
Na wɔn na wɔkɔɔ Farao hɔ kɔkaa se ɔmma Israelfo no mfi Misraim no.
28 And it comes to pass in the day of YHWH’s speaking to Moses in the land of Egypt,
Da a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Misraim asase so no,
29 that YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, “I [am] YHWH, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.”
ɔkae se, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim hempɔn no.”
30 And Moses says before YHWH, “Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how does Pharaoh listen to me?”
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bio se, “Mʼano ntewee yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na asɛm a mɛka no bɛtɔ Farao asom ama watie me?”
