< Exodus 4 >

1 And he answered Moses and he said and here! not they will believe me and not they will listen to voice my for they will say not he appeared to you Yahweh.
Na Mose buaa no se, “Sɛ wɔannye me anni anaa wɔantie asɛm a mɛka no, na wɔka se, ‘Awurade nyii ne ho adi nkyerɛɛ wo ɛ?’”
2 And he said to him Yahweh (what [is] this? *Q(K)*) [is] in hand your and he said a staff.
Awurade bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wukura yi?” Obuae se, “Oguanhwɛfo pema.”
3 And he said throw it [the] ground towards and he threw it [the] ground towards and it became a snake and he fled Moses from before it.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Tow kyene fam.” Enti ɔtow kyenee fam ma ɛdan ɔwɔ. Mose guan fii aboa no ho.
4 And he said Yahweh to Moses stretch out hand your and hold on tail its and he stretched out hand his and he took hold on it and it became a staff in hand his.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “So ɔwɔ no dua mu na kyere no!” Osoo ne dua mu kyeree no no, ɛsan dan pema no.
5 So that they may believe that he appeared to you Yahweh [the] God ancestors their [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔyɛ saa na wobegye wo adi. Ɛbɛma wɔahu sɛ wɔn agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Nyankopɔn ada ne ho adi akyerɛ wo ampa.”
6 And he said Yahweh to him again put please hand your in bosom your and he put hand his in bosom his and he brought out it and there! hand his [was] leprous like snow.
Afei, Awurade kae se, “Fa wo nsa hyɛ wʼatade mu.” Mose de ne nsa hyɛɛ nʼatade mu, na oyii no, na kwata ayɛ ne nsa ho; ayɛ fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma.
7 And he said return hand your into bosom your and he returned hand his into bosom his and he brought out it from bosom his and there! it had turned back like flesh his.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no bio se, “Fa wo nsa hyɛ wʼatade mu bio.” Enti Mose san de ne nsa hyɛɛ nʼatade mu, na oyii no, na kwata no agyae ama ne nsa no ho ayɛ sɛnea ɛte kan no.
8 And it will be if not they will believe you and not they will listen to [the] voice of the sign former and they will believe [the] voice of the sign latter.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wɔannye anwonwade a edi kan no anni a, wobegye nea ɛto so abien no adi.
9 And it will be if not they will believe also [the] two the signs these and not they will listen! to voice your and you will take some of [the] water of the River and you will pour [it] out the dry ground and they will become the waters which you will take from the River and they will become blood on the dry ground.
Na sɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne abien yi akyi no wɔannye wo anni a, kɔsaw nsu fi Asubɔnten Nil mu na behwie gu asase wosee bi so na ɛbɛdan mogya.”
10 And he said Moses to Yahweh pardon me O Lord not [am] a man of words I neither from yesterday nor from three days ago nor from then speaking you to servant your for [am] heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue I.
Nanso Mose srɛe se, “Awurade, minnim kasa. Ebesi nnɛ anaa efi bere a wo ne me kasae mpo no, mʼano ntew.”
11 And he said Yahweh to him who? did he make a mouth of person or who? does he make dumb or deaf or seeing or blind ¿ not [do] I Yahweh.
Awurade bisaa no se, “Hena na ɔyɛɛ onipa ano? Ɛnyɛ me Awurade na meyɛe? Hena na ɔbɔ onipa ma otumi kasa anaa ɔmma no nkasa. Hena na ɔma no hu ade anaa ɔmma no nhu ade. Hena na ɔma no tumi te asɛm anaa ɔmma no nte asɛm?
12 And therefore go and I I will be with mouth your and I will teach you [that] which you will say.
Afei kɔ, na kɔyɛ nea maka akyerɛ wo no na mɛboa wo ama woatumi akasa yiye, na mɛkyerɛ wo nea wobɛka nso.”
13 And he said pardon me O Lord send please by [the] hand of [whoever] you will send.
Nanso Mose kae se, “Awurade wʼakoa resrɛ wo, soma onipa foforo.”
14 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Moses and he said ¿ not [is] Aaron brother your the Levite I know that well he speaks he and also there! he [is] coming out to meet you and he will see you and he will be glad in heart his.
Awurade bo fuwii, enti ɔkaa se, “Na wo nua Aaron, Lewini no nso ɛ, minim sɛ nʼano atew. Na hwɛ ɔno na ɔrebehyia wo no, na sɛ ohu wo a, nʼani begye.
15 And you will speak to him and you will put the words in mouth his and I I will be with mouth your and with mouth his and I will teach you [that] which you will do!
Wobɛkasa akyerɛ no na woaka nsɛm ahyɛ nʼanom; mɛboa mo baanu no ama moakasa, na makyerɛ mo nea mobɛyɛ.
16 And he will speak he for you to the people and it will be he he will become of you a mouth and you you will become of him a god.
Ɔbɛyɛ wo kyeame wɔ ɔman no anim, na wo nso woayɛ sɛ ne Nyankopɔn aka asɛm a wopɛ sɛ ɛda gua akyerɛ no.
17 And the staff this you will take in hand your which you will do with it the signs.
Sɛ worekɔ a, fa wo pema no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wubetumi de ayɛ anwonwade a makyerɛ wo no.”
18 And he went Moses and he returned - to Jethro father-in-law his and he said to him let me go please so I may return to relatives my who [are] in Egypt so I may see ¿ [are] still they living and he said Jethro to Moses go to peace.
Mose kɔɔ fie kɔka kyerɛɛ nʼase Yetro se, “Mɛsrɛ wo kwan na makɔ Misraim akɔsra mʼabusuafo akɔhwɛ sɛ wɔtete ase ana.” Yetro penee so se, “Kɔ. Mihyira wo kosɛkosɛ.”
19 And he said Yahweh to Moses in Midian go return Egypt for they have died all the men who sought life your.
Ansa na Mose rebefi Midian no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro sɛ wobɛsan akɔ Misraim, efisɛ wɔn a na wɔrehwehwɛ wo akum wo no nyinaa awuwu.”
20 And he took Moses wife his and sons his and he made ride them on the donkey and he returned [the] land of towards Egypt and he took Moses [the] staff of God in hand his.
Enti Mose faa ne yere ne ne mma de wɔn tenatenaa mfurum so sii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ Misraim. Na ɔfaa Onyankopɔn pema no kitae.
21 And he said Yahweh to Moses when going you to return Egypt towards see all the wonders which I have put in hand your and you will do them before Pharaoh and I I will make strong heart his and not he will let go the people.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sɛ wudu Misraim a, kɔ Farao hɔ na kɔyɛ anwonwade a makyerɛ wo yi kyerɛ no, nanso mepirim ne koma sɛnea ɔremma nnipa no nkɔ.
22 And you will say to Pharaoh thus he says Yahweh [is] son my firstborn my Israel.
Na ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade se, Israel yɛ mʼabakan
23 And I said to you let go son my so he may serve me and you refused to let go him here! I [am] about to kill son your firstborn your.
na mehyɛɛ wo sɛ, “Ma no kwan na ɔnkɔ na ɔnkɔsom me.” Nanso woampene; nti mekum wʼabakan.’”
24 And it was on the journey at the lodging place and he met him Yahweh and he sought to kill him.
Mose ne nʼabusuafo nam no, ade saa wɔn ma wɔpɛɛ baabi dae. Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Mose na ohunahunaa no sɛ obekum no.
25 And she took Zipporah a flint and she cut off [the] foreskin of son her and she made [it] touch feet his and she said that [are] a bridegroom of blood you to me.
Enti ne yere Sipora faa sekan de twaa ne babarima kumaa twetia tow kyenee Mose nan ase kae se, “Mogya ayeforokunu ne wo.”
26 And he withdrew from him then she said a bridegroom of blood to the circumcision.
Enti Awurade gyaa Mose. (Na Sipora kae se, “Woyɛ mogya ayeforokunu,” a na ɔde rekyerɛ twetiatwa.)
27 And he said Yahweh to Aaron go to meet Moses the wilderness towards and he went and he met him at [the] mountain of God and he kissed him.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Kɔ sare no so kohyia Mose.” Enti Aaron kɔɔ Onyankopɔn Bepɔw no so kohyiaa Mose few nʼafono.
28 And he told Moses to Aaron all [the] words of Yahweh which he had sent him and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Na Mose kaa nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no bere a ɔresoma no no ne anwonwade a ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ Aaron.
29 And he went Moses and Aaron and they gathered all [the] elders of [the] people of Israel.
Mose ne Aaron hyiaa Israelfo mpanyimfo no nyinaa,
30 And he spoke Aaron all the words which he had spoken Yahweh to Moses and he did the signs to [the] eyes of the people.
na Aaron kaa nsɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn, na Mose yɛɛ anwonwade no kyerɛɛ wɔn
31 And it believed the people and they heard that he had observed Yahweh [the] people of Israel and that he had seen affliction their and they bowed low and they bowed down.
ma wogye dii. Na wɔtee sɛ Awurade dwen wɔn ho na wahu wɔn awerɛhowdi no, wobuu nkotodwe sɔree no.
