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.”
But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
2 Mawu gagblɔ na Mose be, “Nyee nye Yehowa.
God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
3 Meɖe ɖokuinye fia Abraham, Isak kple Yakob abe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ene, ke nye ŋkɔ, Yehowa la, nyemeyɔe na wo o.
I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
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.
I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
5 “Gawu la, mese Israelviwo ƒe konyifafa esi wonye kluviwo fifia le Egipte. Meɖo ŋku nye nubabla la dzi.
In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
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.
So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.
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,
I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
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.’”
I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
9 Mose gblɔ nya siawo na Israelviwo, ke womeɖo toe o, le woƒe dziɖeleameƒo kple ŋutasesẽ kple kluvimenɔnɔ ta.
Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.

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

But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
