< Exodus 10 >
1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔbisa no deɛ mahyɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ mma wo no. Nanso, mapirim ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ nyinaa akoma sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi ayɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree akyerɛ wɔn ama wɔahunu me tumi.
2 and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Na ɛnam so ma woatumi aka anwanwadeɛ a mayɛ wɔ Misraim asase so no akyerɛ wo mma ne wo mmanananom. Ka sɛdeɛ memaa Misraimfoɔ no yɛɛ wɔn adeɛ sɛ nkwaseafoɔ wɔ mʼanim no ne sɛdeɛ mema wɔhunuu sɛ mene Awurade no kyerɛ wɔn.”
3 And Moses cometh in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,
Enti, Mose ne Aaron kɔhunuu Farao ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn se memmisa wo sɛ, ‘Nna dodoɔ sɛn na wopɛ sɛ wode bu me animtia? Ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔ na wɔnkɔsom me.
4 for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,
Na sɛ woamma wɔn ankɔ a, ɔkyena nko ara mɛma ntutummɛ aba wʼasase yi so.
5 and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;
Wɔbɛkata asase no ani nyinaa. Na wɔbɛsɛe biribiara a ɛkaeɛ a asukɔtweaa a ɛtɔeɛ no ansɛe no no nyinaa a wiram nnua nyinaa ka ho.
6 and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father's fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,' — and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.
Mmoa no bɛhyɛ wʼahemfie hɔ, wo mpanimfoɔ afie mu ne Misraimfoɔ afie nyinaa ma tɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhaw a, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mo agyanom bɛtenaa asase yi so de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no, ebi nsii saa da.’” Na Mose firii Farao anim kɔeɛ.
7 And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, 'Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?'
Afei, mpanimfoɔ a wɔwɔ Farao asɛnniiɛ no bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Nkɔsi da bɛn na wobɛma saa ɔbarima yi afa yɛn nnommum? Wonhunuu sɛ Misraim nyinaa adane amamfo? Ma nnipa no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn!”
8 And Moses is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, 'Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?'
Enti, wɔsane de Mose ne Aaron baa Farao anim bio bɛbisaa Farao ɛkwan. Farao kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monkɔsom Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no. Na ɛhefoɔ na mo ne wɔn bɛkɔ?”
9 And Moses saith, 'With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.'
Mose buaa Farao sɛ, “Yɛde mmɔfra ne mpanin, yɛn mmammarima, yɛn mmammaa, yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie na ɛbɛkɔ. Yɛde yɛn agyapadeɛ nyinaa na ɛbɛtu saa ɛkwan no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa kɔ Awurade afahyɛ no.”
10 And he saith unto them, 'Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see — for evil [is] before your faces;
Farao de abufuo buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mɛma mode mmɔfra nketewa yi kɔ a, ɛnneɛ Awurade ankasa nka mo ho. Mahunu sɛ mowɔ adwemmɔne.
11 not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;' and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa. Mo mmarima no, monkɔsom Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno na mobisaa me.” Farao pamoo wɔn firii nʼahemfie hɔ.
12 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa wɔ Misraim so na ntutummɛ mmɛkata asase no nyinaa so, na wɔnni biribiara a asukɔtweaa no ansɛe no no.”
13 And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.
Enti Mose maa ne poma so kyerɛɛ Misraim asase so maa Awurade bɔɔ mframa bi firii apueeɛ fam awia ne anadwo. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, na apueeɛ mframa no de ntutummɛ no abɛgu asase no so nyinaa.
14 And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt — very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
Ntutummɛ no kataa Misraim asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Misraim abakɔsɛm kyerɛ sɛ, ntutummɛ mmaa ɔman no mu saa da na ebi nso remma saa bio.
15 and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.'
Mmoa no kataa asase ani nyinaa ma wɔsii owia ani enti wɔmaa esum duruu asase no so. Wɔwee biribiara a asukɔtweaa no ansɛe no no; biribiara a ɛyɛ ahahammono anka; sɛ ɛyɛ dua anaa afifideɛ a ɛwɔ ɔman no mu baabiara no.
16 And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, 'I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you,
Ntɛm pa ara Farao tuu abɔfoɔ kɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no, ne mo nyinaa.
17 and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.'
Me nkotosrɛ a ɛdi akyire nie; momfa saa bɔne no nkyɛ me na monsrɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyi owuo yi mfiri yɛn so.”
18 And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,
Enti, Mose firii Farao anim kɔsrɛɛ Awurade.
19 and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea — there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
Awurade bɔɔ atɔeɛ fam mframa denden bi ma ɛpiaa ntutummɛ no nyinaa kɔguu Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no mu, a anka ɔbaako pɛ koraa wɔ Misraim asase no so.
20 and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.
Nanso, Awurade pirim Farao akoma enti wamma Israelfoɔ no ankɔ.
21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa kyerɛ ɔsoro ma esum kabii mmɛduru Misraim asase so.”
22 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
Enti, Mose tenee ne nsa hwɛɛ soro maa esum kabii bɛduruu Misraim asase no so nnansa.
23 they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.'
Esum no duruu saa no, na obiara ntumi ntu ne nan, nanso Israelfoɔ no deɛ, na deɛ wɔte hɔ yɛ hann.
24 And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, 'Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;'
Farao frɛɛ Mose ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔsom Awurade. Wobɛtumi de wo mma aka wo ho akɔ; nanso wo nnwan ne wʼanantwie no deɛ, ma wɔnka ha.”
25 and Moses saith, 'Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God;
Nanso, Mose buaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie kɔ na yɛde wɔn mu bi bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn.
26 and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we — we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.'
Aboa tɔte koraa yɛrennya wɔ ha; ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn no afɔdeɛ. Yɛnnim deɛ ɔbɛpɛ gye sɛ yɛduru hɔ.”
27 And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;
Nanso, Awurade pirim Farao akoma enti wamma wɔn ankɔ.
28 and Pharaoh saith to him, 'Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;'
Farao teateaa Mose sɛ, “Firi ha kɔ ntɛm. Mma menhunu wo ha bio. Ɛda a wobɛba ha bio no, wobɛwu.”
29 and Moses saith, 'Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.'
Mose buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, merenhunu wo bio.”
