< Mose 2 8 >
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gayi Farao gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔm.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.
2 Ne ègbe la, maɖo akpɔkplɔwo ƒe hatsotso gãwo ɖa woava xɔ wò anyigba la dzi tso liƒo ɖeka dzi yi bubu dzi.
And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders with frogs:
3 Akpɔkplɔwo asɔ gbɔ ɖe Nil tɔsisi la me. Woava ge ɖe wò fiasã la me, age ɖe wò xɔdɔme me, woage ɖe wò abati dzi, woage ɖe wò dumegãwo ƒe aƒewo me, eye woage ɖe abolokpowo kple amɔzewo me.
and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.
4 Akpɔkplɔawo ata le wò ŋutɔ, wò amewo kple ŋuwòmewo katã dzi.’”
And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.
5 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Aron be wòado eƒe atikplɔ ɖe tɔsisiwo, tɔʋuwo kple tawo katã dzi le Egipte.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.
6 Aron wɔ nu sia, eye akpɔkplɔwo xɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Ke akunyawɔlawo hã tsɔ woƒe ayemenuwɔwɔwo wɔ nenema, eye woawo hã na akpɔkplɔwo do ɖe anyigba la dzi.
And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 Tete Farao yɔ Mose kple Aron, heƒo koko na wo be, “Miɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòaɖe akpɔkplɔawo ɖa, ekema maɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woayi aɖasa vɔ nɛ.”
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.
9 Mose gblɔ be, “Ve nunye, eye nàgblɔ ɣeyiɣi si nàna woayi la nam ekema mado gbe ɖa be akpɔkplɔawo naku le ɣeyiɣi si dzi tututu nàtɔ asii la dzi. Akpɔkplɔawo aku le afi sia afi negbe le tɔsisi la me ko.”
And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.
10 Farao ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wɔe etsɔ si gbɔna.” Mose yi edzi be, “Enyo, ava eme abe ale si nègblɔ ene, ekema ànya be, ame aɖeke mede Yehowa, mía Mawu la nu o.
And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.
11 Akpɔkplɔawo katã atsrɔ̃ negbe esiwo le tɔsisi la me ko.”
And the frogs shall be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.
12 Ale Mose kple Aron wodzo le Farao gbɔ. Mose ɖe kuku na Yehowa le akpɔkplɔ siwo wòɖo ɖa la ŋu.
And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.
13 Yehowa wɔ ɖe ŋugbe si Mose do na Farao la dzi. Akpɔkplɔ kukuwo yɔ duwo godo kple aƒewo me siaa.
And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 Woli kɔ wo gleglegle, eye wohe ʋeʋẽ sẽŋu aɖe va anyigba blibo la dzi.
And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 Ke esi Farao kpɔ be woɖe akpɔkplɔawo ɖa ko la, egasẽ dzi me, eye wògbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe do ŋgɔ ene.
And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.
16 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Aron be, ‘Tsɔ wò atikplɔ ƒo anyigba, eye ke siwo katã le Egiptenyigba dzi la atrɔ azu muwo.’”
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.
17 Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Mawu ɖo na wo la. Tete muwo xɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi enumake, eye woƒo kɔ ɖe amewo kple woƒe lãwo katã dzi.
So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.
18 Akunyawɔlawo dze agbagba be yewo hã yewoawɔ nu ma ke kple woƒe nunya ɣaɣlawo, gake azɔ ya la, womete ŋui o, eye muawo ɖu amewo kple lãwo siaa.
And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.
19 Akunyawɔlawo gblɔ na Farao be, “Esia nye Mawu ƒe asinudɔ.” Ke Farao gasẽ dzi me kokoko: meɖo to wo o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe do ŋgɔ ene.
So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.
20 Le esia megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Fɔ etsɔ ŋdi kanya, nàdo go Farao esime wòyina tsi le ge le tɔsisi la me. Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔm.
And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.
21 Ne ègbe la, maɖo togbatowo ƒe ha gã aɖe ɖa woava Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, axɔ wò kple wò dumegãwo kple wò amewo ƒe aƒewo me. Ale Egiptetɔwo ƒe aƒewo me ayɔ fũu kple togbatowo, eye woayɔ anyigba la ƒe afi sia afi.
And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.
22 “‘Gake gbe ma gbe la, mana nuwo nato vovo le Gosenyigba dzi, afi si nye amewo le. Togbatowo ƒe ha manɔ afi ma ya o. Ale nànyae be nye Yehowa mele anyigba sia dzi,
and I will distinguish marvellously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.
23 elabena made vovototo wò amewo kple nye amewo dome. Dzesidede siawo katã ava eme etsɔ.’”
And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.
24 Yehowa wɔ abe ale si wògblɔ ene. Togbatowo ƒe ha gã aɖe nye zi ge ɖe Farao ƒe fiasã la me kple eƒe dumegãwo ƒe aƒewo me, eye togbatoawo gblẽ nu le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi.
And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.
25 Farao yɔ Mose kple Aron enumake hegblɔ na wo be, “Enyo; miyi miasa vɔ na miaƒe Mawu la, gake misa vɔ la le afii, le anyigba sia dzi, migayi gbedzi o.”
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.
26 Ke Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Eya masɔ o! Egiptetɔwo lé fu míaƒe vɔsawo. Ne míasa vɔ na Yehowa míaƒe Mawu le woƒe ŋkuta la, woawu mí.
And Moses said, It can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.
27 Ele be míayi aɖanɔ gbedzi ŋkeke etɔ̃, asa vɔ na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la le afi ma, abe ale si wòɖo na mí ene.”
We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.
28 Farao ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, maɖe mɔ na mi be miayi aɖasa vɔ na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, gake migayi didiƒe sãa o. Azɔ la, miɖe abla miaɖe kuku na miaƒe Mawu la ɖe tanye.”
And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.
29 Mose lɔ̃ ɖe edzi hegblɔ be, “Ne medzo le gbɔwò la, mabia Yehowa be wòana togbatoawo katã nabu. Ke mele nya gbem na wò be mègable mí azɔ, ado ŋugbe na mí be yeaɖe asi le ameawo ŋu, eye emegbe nàgatrɔ susu o.”
And Moses said, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.
30 Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòaɖe togbatoawo ɖa.
And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.
31 Eye Yehowa wɔ nu si Mose bia. Togbatoawo dzo le Farao kple eŋumewo kple eƒe amewo gbɔ; wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meganɔ anyi o.
And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.
32 Ke fifia gɔ̃ hã la, Farao gasẽ dzi me, eye melɔ̃ be yeaɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woadzo o.
And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
