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 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,
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 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.'
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 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,
4 Ne ègbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu la, mahe ʋetsuviwo va wò anyigba la dzi etsɔ.
for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust 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 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;
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 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.
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 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?'
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 is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, 'Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?'
9 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Míayi kple mía viŋutsuwo, mía vinyɔnuwo kple míaƒe lãwo, elabena ŋkekenyui ɖu ge míeyina na Yehowa.”
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.'
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 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;
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 who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;' and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.'
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 Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, '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.”
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.'
18 Le esia ta Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòɖe kuku na Yehowa,
And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto 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 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;
20 Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, eye meɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu o.
and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.
21 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Do wò asi ɖe dziƒo ekema viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi.”
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.'
22 Mose wɔ alea, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi aɖe do ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃.
And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — 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 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.'
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 calleth unto Moses and saith, 'Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants 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 saith, 'Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for 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.”
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.'
27 Ale Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye meɖe asi le ameawo ŋu o.
And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;
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 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;'
29 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo; mesee. Nyemagado ɖe wò ŋkume azɔ o.”
and Moses saith, 'Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.'
