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 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 speaks to Moses and says to him, “I [am] YHWH,
Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “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;
Meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ. 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 ahɔhoɔ no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ.
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.
Afei, mate Israelfoɔ apinisie ne nya a Misraimfoɔ 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 Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ de ayi wɔn afiri 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;
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 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 agyapadeɛ. 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, ɛsiane abasamutuo a ɛfiri ɔhyɛ ntrasoɔ enti.
10 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he sends the sons of Israel out of his land”;
“Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ.”
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 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 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 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 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 sɛ, “Monkɔyi Israelfoɔ nyinaa mfiri 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 kɔsrɛɛ no ɛkwan sɛ ɔmma wɔnni Israelfoɔ no anim nyi wɔn mfiri asase no so.
28 And it comes to pass in the day of YHWH’s speaking to Moses in the land of Egypt,
Ɛda 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.”
ɔkaa sɛ, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim ɔhempɔn 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 sɛ “Mʼano nteeɛ yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na asɛm a mɛka no bɛtɔ Farao asom ama watie me?”
