Exodus 6

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them from his land.

Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Azɔ la, àkpɔ nu si mawɔ Farao. Le nye alɔ sesẽ la ta, anya wo ado goe, eye le nye asi sesẽ la ta, ado mɔ wo.”

2 And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am the LORD:

Mawu gagblɔ na Mose be, “Nyee nye Yehowa.

3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Meɖe ɖokuinye fia Abraham, Isak kple Yakob abe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ene, ke nye ŋkɔ, Yehowa la, nyemeyɔe na wo o.

4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.

Mewɔ nubabla tɔxɛ aɖe kpli wo. Le nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo nu la, medo ŋugbe be matsɔ Kanaanyigba, afi si wonɔ abe amedzrowo ene la na wo.

5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

“Gawu la, mese Israelviwo ƒe konyifafa esi wonye kluviwo fifia le Egipte. Meɖo ŋku nye nubabla la dzi.

6 Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

“Eya ta gblɔ na Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo be, ‘Nyee nye Yehowa, maɖe mi le Egiptetɔwo ƒe kɔkuti te, mana ablɔɖe mi tso kluvinyenye na wo me, eye maɖe mi kple alɔ sesẽ kple nukunu triakɔwo.

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Maxɔ mi abe nye amewo ene, manye miaƒe Mawu, mianyae be nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo ƒe asi me,

8 And I will bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

eye makplɔ mi ayi anyigba si mekɔ asi dzi ka atam be matsɔ na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi. Matsɔe na mi wòazu mia tɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa.’”

9 And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel: but they hearkened not to Moses by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.

Mose gblɔ nya siawo na Israelviwo, ke womeɖo toe o, le woƒe dziɖeleameƒo kple ŋutasesẽ kple kluvimenɔnɔ ta.

10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Yehowa gaƒo nu na Mose, gblɔ nɛ bena,

11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel depart from his land.

“Gayi Farao, Egipte fia gbɔ eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ele be wòaɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu woadzo le eƒe anyigba dzi.”

12 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

Ke Mose ɖe ɖeklemi Yehowa hegblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, ne Israelviwo maɖo tom o la, aleke Farao ya aɖo tom, elabena nyemenye nuƒola nyui hã o.”

13 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Tete Yehowa ɖe gbe na Mose kple Aron tso Israelviwo kple Farao, Egipte fia ŋu gblɔ na wo be woakplɔ Israelviwo ado goe tso Egipte.

Woawoe yi Egipte fia Farao gbɔ be yewoabia mɔ hena Israelviwo kpɔkplɔ dzoe le Egiptenyigba la dzi, wonye Mose kple Aron.

28 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

Azɔ esi Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Egipte la,

29 That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to thee.

egblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa. Gblɔ nya sia nya si megblɔ na wò la na Egipte fia Farao.”

Ke Mose gblɔ na Yehowa be, “Aleke Farao aɖo tom esi nyemenya nuƒoƒo o?”
