Mose 2 6

1 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.”

And the Lord said to Moses: “Now you will see what I shall do to Pharaoh. For through a strong hand he will release them, and by a mighty hand he will cast them from his land.”

2 Mawu gagblɔ na Mose be, “Nyee nye Yehowa.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “I am the Lord,

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

who appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as Almighty God. And I did not reveal to them my name: ADONAI.

4 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.

And I formed a covenant with them, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourning, in which they were newcomers.

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

I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, with which the Egyptians have oppressed them. And I have remembered my covenant.

6 “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.

For this reason, say to the sons of Israel: I am the Lord who will lead you away from the work house of the Egyptians, and rescue you from servitude, and also redeem you with an exalted arm and great judgments.

7 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,

And I will take you to myself as my people, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the work house of the Egyptians,

8 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.’”

and who brought you into the land, over which I lifted up my hand in order to grant it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And I will grant it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.”

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

And so, Moses explained all these things to the sons of Israel, who did not agree with him, because of their anguish of spirit and very difficult work.

10 Yehowa gaƒo nu na Mose, gblɔ nɛ bena,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

“Enter and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.”

Moses responded in the sight the Lord: “Behold, the sons of Israel do not listen to me. And how will Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I am of uncircumcised lips?”

13 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.
