Mose 2 10
1 Le esia megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gayi Farao gbɔ, eye nàgatsɔ wò biabia la ɖo eŋkume. Ke mana eya kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo ƒe dzi me nagasẽ kokoko ale be mate ŋu awɔ nukunu bubuwo, eye maɖe nye ŋusẽ afia.
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
2 Esiawo anye ŋutinya siwo nàgblɔ na viwòwo kple wò tɔgbuiyɔviwo tso nukunu siwo mele wɔwɔm le Egipte la ŋu! Miƒo nu na wo tso ale si mewɔ Egiptetɔwo wozu abunɛtɔwo kple ale si meɖee fia mi bena nyee nye Yehowa la ŋuti.”
and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
3 Ale Mose kple Aron wogayi Farao gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la le biabiam be, ‘Zi neni nàgbe toɖoɖom? Ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu ale be woate ŋu ayi aɖasubɔm.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Ne ègbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu la, mahe ʋetsuviwo va wò anyigba la dzi etsɔ.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border:
5 Woatsyɔ anyigba la dzi ale gbegbe be anyigba la magadze o. Woaɖu numiemie sue siwo susɔ le kpetsi la megbe kple ati ɖe sia ɖe si le tsitsim le agble dzi.
and they shall cover the face of the earth, so that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 Woayɔ wò aƒewo me, wò dumegãwo ƒe aƒewo me kple Egiptetɔwo katã ƒe aƒewo me, nu si mia fofowo loo alo mia tɔgbuiwo mekpɔ kpɔ, tso gbe si gbe wova anyigba sia dzi va se ɖe fifia o.’” Ale Mose trɔ dzo le Farao ŋkume.
and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Farao ƒe aɖaŋudelawo va Farao gbɔ azɔ, eye wobiae be, “Ɖe nèdi be yeatsrɔ̃ mí gbidigbidia? Ɖe mènya be fifia gɔ̃ hã la, nu sia nu gblẽ le Egipte oa? Ɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la.”
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Wokplɔ Mose kple Aron va Fia Farao gbɔ. Farao gblɔ na wo azɔ be, “Enyo, miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Ke ame kawoe miedi be woayi kpli mi?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Jehovah your God; but who are they that shall go?
9 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Míayi kple mía viŋutsuwo, mía vinyɔnuwo kple míaƒe lãwo, elabena ŋkekenyui ɖu ge míeyina na Yehowa.”
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto Jehovah.
10 Farao yi edzi be, “Yehowa naɖi na mi, nyemaɖe asi le mia kple mia viwo ŋu miayi o. Eme kɔ ƒãa be nu gbegblẽ aɖee mieɖo ɖe ta me.
And he said unto them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11 Mi ŋutsuwo ɖeɖe ko, miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, elabena eyae nye nu si miebia.” Ale wonya wo ɖa le Farao ŋkume.
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Jehovah; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Keke wò asiwo ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi, ne ʋetsuviwo nado, woaxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi, eye woaɖu nu sia nu si kpetsi la gblẽ ɖi.”
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13 Mose do eƒe atikplɔ ɖe dzi, eye Yehowa na ɣedzeƒeya aɖe ƒo le ŋkeke kple zã blibo la me. Esi ŋu ke la, ɣedzeƒeya la he ʋetsuviwo vɛ.
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 Ʋetsuviawo xɔ anyigba la dzi tso liƒo dzi yi liƒo dzi. Esiae nye ʋetsuviwo ƒe vava vɔ̃ɖitɔ le Egipte ƒe ŋutinya blibo la me, eye etɔgbi magava akpɔ o,
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 elabena ʋetsuviawo xe anyigba la ƒe ŋkume, eye woxe ɣe hã ƒe ŋkume; ale viviti do ɖe anyigba la dzi. Gawu la, woɖu ati kple gbe ɖe sia ɖe si kpetsi la gblẽ ɖi, ale be nu mumu si nye ati alo gbe la ƒe ɖeke kura meganɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi o.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Farao ɖo du sesẽ aɖe ɖe Mose kple Aron enumake, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu kple miawo ŋutɔ hã ŋu.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
17 Migatsɔ nye nu vɔ̃ kem zi mamlɛtɔ sia ko, eye miaɖe kuku na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la be wòaɖe fukpekpe vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖa le dzinye.”
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 Le esia ta Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòɖe kuku na Yehowa,
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.
19 eye Yehowa ɖo ɣetoɖoƒeya sesẽ aɖe ɖa, eye wòkplɔ ʋetsuviawo katã yi ɖakɔ ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me. Ʋetsuvi ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã megasusɔ ɖe Egiptenyigba dzi o!
And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
20 Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, eye meɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu o.
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Do wò asi ɖe dziƒo ekema viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi.”
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 Mose wɔ alea, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi aɖe do ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃.
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
23 Le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me la, Egiptetɔwo megatea ŋu ʋãna o, le esime kekeli nɔ Israelviwo gbɔ abe tsã ene.
they saw not one another, neither rose any one from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Farao yɔ Mose, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, gake miagblẽ miaƒe lãwo ɖe afi sia. Miate ŋu akplɔ mia viwo gɔ̃ hã ayii.”
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Kpao, ele be míakplɔ míaƒe lãwo hã ayi hena vɔsa kple numevɔsa na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la.
And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God.
26 Míagblẽ lã aɖeke ɖi o, eye lã aɖeke ƒe afɔkli gɔ̃ hã matsi anyi o, elabena ele be míasa vɔ na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la, eye míate ŋu anya lã siwo wòatia o, va se ɖe esime míaɖo afi ma.”
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind: for thereof must we take to serve Jehovah our God; and we know not with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come thither.
27 Ale Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye meɖe asi le ameawo ŋu o.
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Farao blu ɖe Mose ta be, “Bu le afi sia kaba! Mègana makpɔ wò mo azɔ gbeɖegbeɖe o. Gbe si gbe nàgado ɖe nye ŋkume la, ku kee nàku.”
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo; mesee. Nyemagado ɖe wò ŋkume azɔ o.”
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.
