Exodus 7
1 YHWH said to Moses, "Look, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mayɛ wo sɛ Onyankopɔn ama Farao na wo nua Aaron nso bɛyɛ wo diyifo.
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Asɛm biara a mɛka akyerɛ wo no, ka kyerɛ Aaron, na ɔno nso nka nkyerɛ Farao sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim.
3 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Na mepirim Farao koma, na mayɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree wɔ Misraim
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my regiments, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
nanso ɔrentie mo. Na mɛfa atemmu a mu yɛ den so de me nsa ato Misraim so na mayi me nkurɔfo Israelfo no.
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
Na sɛ mekyerɛ me tumi kyerɛ Misraimfo no a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, na mayi me nkurɔfo no afi mu.”
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As YHWH commanded them, so they did.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Bere a Mose ne Aaron kohyiaa Farao no, na Mose adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe, na Aaron nso adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe abiɛsa.
8 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
9 "When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle.' then you shall tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'"
“Farao bɛhwehwɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ anwonwade akyerɛ no ama wahu sɛ, nokware, Onyankopɔn na wasoma mo. Sɛ obisa saa a, Aaron ntow ne pema no nkyene fam na ɛbɛdan ɔwɔ.”
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as YHWH had commanded: and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Enti Mose ne Aaron kɔɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔyɛɛ anwonwade no sɛnea Awurade akyerɛ wɔn no. Aaron tow ne pema no kyenee fam wɔ Farao ne ne nkurɔfo anim ma ɛdan ɔwɔ.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafo ne ne nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwonwade koro no ara bi.
12 For they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents: but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
Wɔn nso pema tumi dan ɔwɔ. Nanso Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn de no.
13 Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.
Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ komaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ otie asɛm a Awurade kae no.
14 YHWH said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Farao apirim ne koma nti, ɔbɛkɔ so asiw nnipa no kwan sɛ ɔremma wɔnkɔ.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Look, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river's bank to meet him; and the staff which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
Nanso Awurade kae se: San kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpa a ɔrekɔ asubɔnten no mu. Kogyina asu no konkɔn so na hyia no wɔ hɔ a wukura wo pema a ɛdan ɔwɔ no.
16 You shall tell him, 'YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:" and look, until now you haven't listened.
Ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade, Hebrifo Nyankopɔn asan asoma me wo nkyɛn sɛ ma nnipa no kwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom me wɔ sare so. Woayɛ asoɔden.
17 Thus says YHWH, "In this you shall know that I am YHWH. Look, I will strike with the staff that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Afei, Awurade se: Wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no. Efisɛ maka akyerɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa ne pema no mmɔ Nil asu no mu na nsu no bɛdan mogya.
18 The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river."'"
Mpataa a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu nyinaa bewuwu ama nsu no abɔn a Misraimfo no rentumi nnom.’”
19 YHWH said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne pema no nkyerɛ nsu a ɛwɔ Misraim no nyinaa; wɔn nsubɔnten, wɔn nsuwa, wɔn atare ne wɔn nsu a ɛtaataa hɔ ne nsu a ɛwɔ afi mu nyinaa so na ɛbɛdan mogya.”
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as YHWH commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ wɔn no. Bere a Farao ne ne mpanyimfo gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, Aaron de pema no bɔɔ Nil ani maa asubɔnten no dan mogya.
21 The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Mpataa a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa wuwu maa nsu no bɔnee, enti na Misraimfo no ntumi nnom. Misraim asase so nyinaa dan mogya.
22 The magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.
Nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim nso nam wɔn nkonyaayi so maa nsu dan mogya, nti Farao kɔɔ so pirim ne koma a na ontie asɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no no.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
Ɔsan kɔɔ nʼahemfi a hwee ampusuw no.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
Misraimfo no tutuu mmura wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn so sɛnea wobenya nsu anom, efisɛ na wontumi nnom asubɔnten no mu nsu.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after YHWH had struck the river.
Asubɔnten a ɛdan mogya no dii nnaawɔtwe.
