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.
Then the Lord saide to Moses, Behold, I haue made thee Pharaohs God, 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 speake all that I commanded thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharaoh, that he suffer the children of Israel to go out of his land.
3 Ke mana Farao nasẽ dzi me, agbe. Ekema magawɔ dzesi dziŋɔ geɖewo le Egiptenyigba dzi.
But I will harden Pharaohs heart, and multiplie my miracles and my wonders in the lande 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 Pharaoh shall not hearken vnto you, that I may lay mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out myne armies, euen my people, the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by great iudgements.
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.”
Then the Egyptians shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I stretch foorth mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wo.
So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, euen so did they.
7 Mose xɔ ƒe blaenyi, eye Aron xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-etɔ̃ le ɣeyiɣi sia me, esi wodo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
(Nowe Moses was foure score yeere olde, and Aaron foure score and three, when they spake vnto Pharaoh)
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord had spoken vnto Moses and Aaron, saying,
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.”
If Pharaoh speake vnto you, saying, Shewe a miracle for you, then thou shalt say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shalbe 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.
Then went Moses and Aaron vnto Pharaoh, and did euen as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his seruants, 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!
Then Pharaoh called also for the wise men and sorcerers: and those charmers also of Egypt did in like maner with their enchantmens,
12 Woawo hã ƒe atikplɔwo trɔ zu dawo esi wotsɔ wo da ɖe anyigba. Ke Aron ƒe atikplɔ lé woƒe atikplɔwo mi.
For they cast downe euery man his rod, and they were turned into serpents: but Aarons rodde deuoured their rods.
13 Farao gasẽ dzi me kokoko, eye meɖo to wo o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ do ŋgɔe ene.
So Pharaohs heart was hardened, and hee hearkened not to them, as the Lord had saide.
14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ, eye wògbe be yemaɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woadzo o.
The Lord then saide vnto Moses, Pharaohs heart is obstinate, hee refuseth to let the people goe.
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.
Goe vnto Pharaoh in the morning, (loe, he will come forth vnto the water) and thou shalt stand and meete him by the riuers brinke, and the rod, which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thine hand.
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 vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath sent me vnto thee, saying, Let my people goe, that they may serue mee in the wildernesse: and beholde, hitherto thou wouldest not heare.
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 saith the Lord, In this shalt thou know that I am the Lord: behold, I wil smite with the rodde that is in mine hand vpon the water that is in the riuer, and it shalbe turned to blood.
18 Tɔmelãwo aku, eye tsi la aʋẽ ale be Egiptetɔwo magalɔ̃ be yewoanoe o.’”
And the fish that is in the riuer shall dye, and the riuer shall stinke, and it shall grieue the Egyptians to drinke of the water of the riuer.
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 then spake to Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand ouer the waters of Egypt, ouer their streames, ouer their riuers, and ouer their pondes, and ouer all pooles of their waters, and they shalbe blood, and there shalbe blood throughout 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.
So Moses and Aaron did euen as the Lord commanded: and hee lift vp the rodde, and smote the water that was in the riuer in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his seruants: and all the water that was in the riuer, 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 fish that was in the ryuer dyed, and the riuer stanke: so that the Egyptians could not drinke of the water of the riuer: and there was blood throughout all the lande 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 enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries: and the heart of Phraoh was hardened: so that he did not hearken vnto them, as the Lord had sayde.
23 Mose kple Aron ƒe wɔnawo mewɔ dɔ aɖeke ɖe edzi o; etrɔ yi eƒe fiasã me.
Then Pharaoh returned, and went againe into his house, neither did this yet enter into his heart.
24 Egiptetɔwo ɖe vudowo ɖe tɔsisi la to be yewoakpɔ tsi nono, elabena womate ŋu ano tɔsisi la me tsi o.
All the Egyptians then digged rounde about the riuer for waters to drinke: for they could not drinke of the water of the riuer.
25 Nil tɔsisi la trɔ zu ʋu ŋkeke adre sɔŋ esi Yehowa gblẽe.
And this continued fully seuen dayes after the Lord had smitten the riuer.
