Exodus 9
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Awurade hyɛɛ Mose se, “San kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛnea Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifo Nyankopɔn no se ni,’ Ma me nkurɔfo no nkɔ na wɔatumi abɔ afɔre ama me.”
2 But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
Sɛ wampene amma wɔn ankɔ a,
3 lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —a very grievous pestilence;
Onyankopɔn nsa de ɔyaredɔm bɛba abekum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfurum, mo yoma, mo anantwi, mo nguan ne mo mmirekyi nyinaa.
4 and Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
Nanso Awurade de nsonoe bɛto Israelfo mmoa ne Misraimfo mmoa ntam. Israelfo mmoa de, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
5 And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.
Awurade ahyɛ bere pɔtee na ɔkae se, Ɔkyena, Awurade bɛyɛ eyi wɔ asase no so.
6 So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, died not one.
Na ade kyee no, nyɛmmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim no wuwui, nanso Israelfo no ayɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, and he did not let the people go.
Farao somaa nnipa kɔɔ Israel kɔhwɛɛ sɛ ampa ara ɛhɔ nyɛmmoa no bi anwu koraa ana. Nnipa no bɛbɔɔ Farao amanneɛ se Israelfo nyɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu, nanso nʼadwene ansesa. Wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
8 Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:
Enti Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Monkɔsaw nso mfi fononoo mu, na Mose ntow mpete wim wɔ Farao anim.
9 then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in all the land of Egypt.
Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfutuma ama mpɔmpɔnini abobɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
10 So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
Enti wɔkɔsaw nso fii fononoo mu de kɔɔ Farao anim, na ɔrehwɛ no, Mose tow petee wim na ɛdan mpɔmpɔnini bobɔɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa.
11 and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifo no antumi ne Mose anni asi, efisɛ na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
12 But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh unto Moses.
Nanso Farao pirim ne koma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
13 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me;
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sɔre kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpahema na kɔka kyerɛ no se, Hebrifo Awurade Nyankopɔn no se, Ma me nkurɔfo nkɔsom me,
14 for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.
anyɛ saa a, mede ɔhaw na ɛbɛto mo so na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo ne wʼadwumayɛfo ne Misraimfo nyinaa ahu sɛ Onyankopɔn biara nni asase yi so ka me ho.
15 For now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared from the earth;
Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bekum mo nyinaa.
16 but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
Nanso manyɛ no saa, efisɛ na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi kyerɛ wo ne asase sofo nyinaa.
17 Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting them go?
Woayɛ kyenkyenee wɔ me nkurɔfo so a ɛno nti, womma wɔnkɔ.
18 Behold me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
Ɔkyena saa bere yi ara mu, mɛma mparuwbo a ano yɛ den a bi ntɔɔ Misraimman mu da atɔ.
19 Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they shall die.
Ntɛm! Monka mo anantwi a mode wɔn kɔ adidi no mmra fie. Efisɛ mparuwbo no bekum nnipa ne mmoa a wɔbɛka wuram no nyinaa.”
20 He that feared the word of Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
Misraimfo a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwi ne wɔn asomfo nyinaa baa fie.
21 but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkae no gyaw wɔn anantwi ne wɔn asomfo wɔ wuram maa mparuwbo no kaa wɔn.
22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa kyerɛ soro na ma mparuwbo no ntɔ ngu nnipa, mmoa ne nnua a ɛwɔ Misraim nyinaa so.”
23 So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down hail, on the land of Egypt.
Enti Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ wim maa Awurade maa anyinam ne aprannaa twitwae.
24 So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
Na ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ hu yiye. Efisɛ efi Misraim abɔse de kosi saa bere no, na aprannaa mmobɔɔ saa da.
25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, —and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
Misraimman sɛee pasaa. Biribiara a ɛkaa wuram, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa no, wɔn nyinaa wuwui. Nnua nso bubu maa nnɔbae sɛesɛee.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
Faako a mparuwbo no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfo no te hɔ no.
27 Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
Afei, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Afei de, mahu me mfomso. Awurade di bem na me ne me nkurɔfo ayɛ bɔne ama atra so.
28 Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne mparuwbo dodow yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
Mose kae se, “Sɛ mifi kuropɔn yi mu ara pɛ a, mɛma me nsa so abɔ Awurade mpae na aprannaa no ne mparuwbo no agyae. Eyi bɛma mo ahu sɛ Awurade na asase nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
30 But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
Nanso minim yiye sɛ wo ne wo mpanyimfo de, eyinom nyinaa akyi no, mubepirim mo koma.”
31 Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn awi ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛresow aba no nyinaa.
32 but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
Nanso atoko ne aburow de, ansɛe, efisɛ na emfifii ɛ.
33 So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.
Enti Mose fii Farao anim wɔ kurow no mu maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ Awurade maa aprannaa no ne mparuwbo no ne osu no gyaee tɔ.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.
Farao ne ne mpanyimfo huu sɛ biribiara ayɛ yiye wɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ so pirim wɔn koma yɛɛ bɔne de buu bɔ a wɔhyɛɛ Awurade no so.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
Enti Farao amma nkurɔfo no ankɔ sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
