Mose 2 7
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mewɔ wò abe Mawu ene na Farao, eye nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron abe wò nyagblɔɖila ene.
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I have appointed thee the God of Pharao: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Gblɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se mede na wò la na Aron. Eya agblɔe na Farao, eye wòabia be Farao naɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu woadzo le Egipte.
Thou shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Ke mana Farao nasẽ dzi me, agbe. Ekema magawɔ dzesi dziŋɔ geɖewo le Egiptenyigba dzi.
But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 Ke le esiawo megbe hã la, Farao maɖo to wò o. Ekema mana nye asi nava Egiptetɔwo dzi, mabu fɔ wo kple nukudɔ geɖewo, eye makplɔ nye amehawo, nye dukɔ, Israel, adzoe le Egiptenyigba dzi.
And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.
5 Ekema Egiptetɔwo adze sii be le nyateƒe me la, nyee nye Yehowa, ne meɖe nye ŋusẽ fia Egiptetɔwo, eye mekplɔ Israelviwo dzoe le wo dome.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wo.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: so did they.
7 Mose xɔ ƒe blaenyi, eye Aron xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-etɔ̃ le ɣeyiɣi sia me, esi wodo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
9 “Ne Farao abia be, ‘Miawɔ nukunu aɖe la,’ ekema gblɔ na Aron be, ‘Tsɔ wò atikplɔ la da ɖe anyigba le Farao ŋkume,’ eye wòatrɔ azu da.”
When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into a serpent.
10 Ale Mose kple Aron woyi Farao gbɔ, eye wowɔ nukunu la abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene. Aron ɖe asi le eƒe atikplɔ ŋu da ɖe anyigba le Farao kple eŋumewo ŋkume, eye wòzu da.
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao, and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 Tete Farao yɔ eƒe nunyalawo kple afakalawo kple Egipte ƒe akunyawɔlawo. Woawo hã te ŋu wɔ nu ma ke kple woƒe akunyawɔwɔ!
And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner.
12 Woawo hã ƒe atikplɔwo trɔ zu dawo esi wotsɔ wo da ɖe anyigba. Ke Aron ƒe atikplɔ lé woƒe atikplɔwo mi.
And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 Farao gasẽ dzi me kokoko, eye meɖo to wo o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ do ŋgɔe ene.
And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had commanded.
14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ, eye wògbe be yemaɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woadzo o.
And the Lord said to Moses: Pharao’s heart is hardened, he will not let the people go.
15 “Togbɔ be nuwo anɔ alea hã la, gbugbɔ yi Farao gbɔ le ŋdi me, esime wòanɔ tɔsisi la to yim. Tsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la to, eye nàdo goe le afi ma; nàlé wò atikplɔ si zu da la ɖe asi.
Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
16 Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la, gaɖom ɖa be mana nàɖe asi le yeƒe amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ ye le gbedzi.’ Gake va se ɖe fifi meɖo tom o.
And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.
17 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Èle si dze gee be nyee nye Yehowa, elabena megblɔ na Mose be wòatsɔ eƒe atikplɔ la aƒo Nil tɔsisi la ƒe tsi dzi, eye tɔsisi la atrɔ azu ʋu!
Thus therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rods that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
18 Tɔmelãwo aku, eye tsi la aʋẽ ale be Egiptetɔwo magalɔ̃ be yewoanoe o.’”
And the fishes that are in the river shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.
19 Emegbe Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Aron be, ‘Tsɔ wò atikplɔ do ɖe Egipte tsiwo katã dzi ekema Egipte tɔsisiwo, tɔʋuwo, tawo, tsi si woku da ɖi katã atrɔ zu ʋu! Ʋu anɔ afi sia afi le Egiptenyigba dzi, anɔ tsitɔkpowo kple kpezɔwo gɔ̃ hã me.’”
The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
20 Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wo be woawɔ. Aron ƒo Nil tɔsisi la kple eƒe atikplɔ la, eye tɔsisi la trɔ zu ʋu le Farao kple eŋumewo katã ŋkume.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up the rod he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his servants: and it was turned into blood.
21 Tɔmelãwo katã ku, tsi la ƒaƒã ale be, Egiptetɔwo megate ŋu noe o. Ʋu xɔ Egiptenyigba ƒe akpa sia akpa dzi.
And the fishes that were in the river died: and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in all the land of Egypt.
22 Egiptetɔwo ƒe akunyawɔlawo hã wɔ woƒe nunya ɣaɣlawo ŋu dɔ, eye woawo hã wotrɔ tsi wòzu ʋu. Nu sia na Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko. Meɖo to Mose kple Aron o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe do ŋgɔ ene tututu.
And the magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner: and Pharao’s heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
23 Mose kple Aron ƒe wɔnawo mewɔ dɔ aɖeke ɖe edzi o; etrɔ yi eƒe fiasã me.
And he turned himself away and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.
24 Egiptetɔwo ɖe vudowo ɖe tɔsisi la to be yewoakpɔ tsi nono, elabena womate ŋu ano tɔsisi la me tsi o.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink: for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Nil tɔsisi la trɔ zu ʋu ŋkeke adre sɔŋ esi Yehowa gblẽe.
And seven days were fully ended, after that the Lord struck the river.
