< 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
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.”
that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought amongst them; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
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 before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
4 Ne ègbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu la, mahe ʋetsuviwo va wò anyigba la dzi etsɔ.
But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your coasts.
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, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
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 your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
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 the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you know 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 they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
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 the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
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 to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to you.
11 Mi ŋutsuwo ɖeɖe ko, miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, elabena eyae nye nu si miebia.” Ale wonya wo ɖa le Farao ŋkume.
Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
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 the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail 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 lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up 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 brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
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.
And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in 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.
And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord 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.”
pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
18 Le esia ta Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòɖe kuku na Yehowa,
And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
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 the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
20 Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, eye meɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu o.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
21 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Do wò asi ɖe dziƒo ekema viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
22 Mose wɔ alea, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi aɖe do ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃.
And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over 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.
And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
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 Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart 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, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord 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.”
And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
27 Ale Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye meɖe asi le ameawo ŋu o.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, 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 Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
29 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo; mesee. Nyemagado ɖe wò ŋkume azɔ o.”
And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
