Mose 2 9
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Trɔ nàyi Farao gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la be nàɖe asi le yeƒe amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ ye.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.”
2 Ne miegbe asiɖeɖe le wo ŋu, eye miezi wo dzi la,
But if you refuse to let them go, if you still keep them back,
3 ekema Yehowa ƒe asi ahe dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ aɖe ava miaƒe lãha siwo le gbedzi la dzi, ava miaƒe sɔwo, tedziwo, kposɔwo, nyiwo kple alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo siaa dzi.
then Yahweh's hand will be on your cattle in the fields and on the horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks, and it will cause a terrible disease.
4 Gake Yehowa ade vovo Israelviwo kple Egiptetɔwo ƒe lãhawo dome, ale be Israelviwo ƒe lã aɖeke maku o.’”
Yahweh will treat Israel's cattle and Egypt's cattle differently and no animal that belongs to the Israelites will die.
5 Yehowa ɖo ɣeyiɣi, eye wògblɔ be, “Etsɔ si gbɔna la, Yehowa awɔ nu sia le anyigba sia dzi.”
Yahweh has fixed a time; he has said, “It is tomorrow that I will do this thing in the land.”'”
6 Eye Yehowa na wòva eme. Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, Egiptetɔwo ƒe lãwo katã de asi kuku me, ke Israelviwo tɔwo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meku o.
Yahweh did this the next day: All the cattle of Egypt died, but none of the Israelites' animals died, not one animal.
7 Farao dɔ ame ɖa be woakpɔe be Israelviwo ƒe lãwo ya tsi agbe mahã. Togbɔ be woɖi ɖase nɛ be nyateƒee hã la, metrɔ eƒe tameɖoɖo la o. Egagbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu kokoko!
Pharaoh investigated, and, behold, not even one animal of the Israelites died. But his heart was stubborn, so he did not let the people go.
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be, “Milɔ dzowɔ asiʋlo aɖewo tso kpo me, eye Mose nawui ɖe yame le Farao ŋkume.
Then Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take some handfuls of ashes from a kiln. You, Moses, must throw the ashes up into the air while Pharaoh is watching.
9 Dzowɔ la akaka abe ʋuʋudedi ene ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, eye wòana ƒoƒoe nate amewo kple lãwo siaa le anyigba blibo la dzi.”
They will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt. They will cause blisters and sores to break out on people and animals throughout all the land of Egypt.”
10 Ale woɖe dzowɔ tso kpo me, eye woyi Farao gbɔ. Esi Farao nɔ wo kpɔm la, Mose wu dzowɔ la ɖe yame, eye wòzu ƒoƒoe te amewo kple lãwo siaa le anyigba blibo la dzi.
So Moses and Aaron took ashes from a kiln and stood in front of Pharaoh. Then Moses threw the ashes up into the air. The ashes caused blisters and sores to break out on people and animals.
11 Akunyawɔlawo mete ŋu tɔ ɖe Mose ŋkume o, le ƒoƒoeawo ta, elabena ƒoƒoeawo te Egiptetɔwo katã.
The magicians could not resist Moses because of the blisters, because the blisters were on them and on all the other Egyptians.
12 Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, ale wògagbe nusese abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe na Mose da ɖi ene.
Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, so Pharaoh did not listen to Moses and Aaron. This was just as Yahweh had said to Moses that Pharaoh would do.
13 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Fɔ ŋdi kanya, nàdo ɖe Farao ŋkume, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, Ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔm.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand in front of Pharaoh, and say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
14 Ne menye nenema o la, fifia ya la, maɖo nye dɔvɔ̃ ɖe mia dome kple ŋusẽ blibo, wòagblẽ nu le wò ŋutɔ, wò dumegãwo kple wò amewo ŋuti ale be mianyae be ame aɖeke megale anyigba blibo la dzi abe nye ene o.
For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, on your servants and your people. I will do this so that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Anye ne le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, medo nye asi ɖa, gblẽ nu le wò kple wò amewo ŋu kple dɔvɔ̃ aɖe si ate ŋu atsrɔ̃ mi katã ɖa le anyigba la dzi hafi.
By now I could have reached out with my hand and attacked you and your people with disease, and you would have been eradicated from the land.
16 Gake meɖe miaƒe agbe le susu sia ta be maɖe nye ŋusẽ afia mi, eye woaɖe gbeƒã nye ŋkɔ le anyigba blibo la dzi.
But it was for this reason I allowed you to survive: In order to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed throughout all the earth.
17 Ke ègatsi tsitre ɖe nye ameawo ŋu kokoko, eye nègbe be yemaɖe asi le wo ŋu woadzo o,
You are still lifting yourself up against my people by not letting them go.
18 eya ta le etsɔ ɣeyiɣi sia tututu la, maɖo kpetsi vɔ̃ɖitɔ ɖa wòadza ɖe dukɔ blibo la dzi. Kpetsi sia tɔgbi medza kpɔ tso esime woɖo Egipte gɔme anyi o.
Listen! Tomorrow about this time I will bring a very strong hail storm, such as has not been seen in Egypt since the day it was begun until now.
19 Ɖe gbe na ameawo azɔ be, woakplɔ wò lãhawo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò le gbedzi la ava de kpo me, elabena kpetsi la adza ɖe amewo kple lã siwo womekplɔ va aƒe me o la siaa dzi, eye wo katã woaku.’”
Now then, send men and gather your cattle and everything you have in the fields to a safe place. Every man and animal that is in the field and is not brought home—the hail will come down on them, and they will die.”'”
20 Yehowa ƒe nya siawo do ŋɔdzi na Egiptetɔ aɖewo ale gbegbe be wokplɔ woƒe lãwo kple kluviwo de xɔ me.
Then those of Pharaoh's servants who believed in Yahweh's message hurried to bring their slaves and cattle into the houses.
21 Ke ame siwo mebu Yehowa ƒe nya nanekee o la gblẽ woƒe lãwo ɖe gbedzi.
But those who did not take Yahweh's message seriously left their slaves and cattle in the fields.
22 Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be, “Fia asi dziƒo, eye nàna kpetsi la nadza le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, ɖe amewo, atiwo kple lãwo siaa dzi.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky so that there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on people, on animals, and on all the plants in the fields throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Ale Mose do asi ɖe dzi, eye Yehowa ɖo dziɖegbe kple kpetsi kple dzikedzo ɖa.
Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and Yahweh sent thunder, hail, and lightning to the ground. He also rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Nu sia dzi ŋɔ wu gbɔgblɔ, kpetsi sia tɔgbi medza kpɔ le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi esi wòzu dukɔ o.
So there were hail and lightning mixed with hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Nu geɖewo gblẽ le Egipte. Nu sia nu si tsi gbedzi, amewo kple lãwo siaa woku; atiwo ta ŋe, eye agblemenuwo katã gblẽ.
Throughout all the land of Egypt, the hail struck everything in the fields, both people and animals. It struck every plant in the fields and broke every tree.
26 Teƒe ɖeka pɛ si ko dzi kpetsi la medza ɖo o, le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzie nye Gosen, afi si Israelviwo nɔ.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived, was there no hail.
27 Farao ɖo du ɖe Mose kple Aron, eye wòʋu eme na wo be, “Medze si nye vodada azɔ, Yehowa tɔ dzɔ. Nye kple nye amewo míeda vo tso gɔmedzedzea va se ɖe fifia.
Then Pharaoh sent men to summon Moses and Aaron. He said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Miɖe kuku na Yehowa be, wòatsi dziɖegbe kple kpetsi dziŋɔ sia nu, ekema mana miadzo enumake.”
Pray to Yahweh, because the mighty thunderbolts and hail are too much. I will let you go, and you will stay here no longer.”
29 Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ne medo le dua me teti ko la, make nye abɔwo me do ɖe Yehowa gbɔ, ekema dziɖegbe la kple kpetsi la nu atso. Esia afia wò be Yehowae le xexea me dzi ɖum.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I leave the city, I will spread my hands out to Yahweh. The thunder will stop, and there will not be any more hail. In this way you will know that the earth belongs to Yahweh.
30 Ke le wò ŋutɔ kple ŋuwòmewo gome la, menya be fifia gɔ̃ hã la, mieɖoa to Yehowa Mawu o.”
But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet really honor Yahweh God.”
31 (Kpetsi la gblẽ ɖetifu kple lu o, elabena lu la ɖi, eye ɖetifu la hã ƒo se xoxo hafi,
Now the flax and the barley were ruined, for the barley was maturing in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 ke lu kple bli ya megblẽ o, elabena woawo metse haɖe o.)
But the wheat and the spelt were not harmed because they were later crops.
33 Ale Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ. Esi wòdo go le dua me la, edo eƒe asiwo ɖe dziƒo na Yehowa. Dziɖegbe kple kpetsi la nu tso, eye tsi hã dzudzɔ dzadza.
When Moses had left Pharaoh and the city, he spread out his hands to Yahweh; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain came down no more.
34 Esi Farao kpɔ be tsidzadza, kpetsi kple dziɖegbe la tɔ la, egawɔ nu vɔ̃; eya kple eƒe dumegãwo sẽ woƒe dzi me.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart, together with his servants.
35 Ale Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye wògbe asiɖeɖe le Israelviwo ŋu abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe to Mose dzi ene.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so he did not let the people of Israel go. This was the way that Yahweh had said to Moses that Pharaoh would act.
