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 in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ne miegbe asiɖeɖe le wo ŋu, eye miezi wo dzi la,
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
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.
behold, Yahweh’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Gake Yehowa ade vovo Israelviwo kple Egiptetɔwo ƒe lãhawo dome, ale be Israelviwo ƒe lã aɖeke maku o.’”
Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Yehowa ɖo ɣeyiɣi, eye wògblɔ be, “Etsɔ si gbɔna la, Yehowa awɔ nu sia le anyigba sia dzi.”
Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh shall 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 that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
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 sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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.
Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
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.”
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, 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.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Akunyawɔlawo mete ŋu tɔ ɖe Mose ŋkume o, le ƒoƒoeawo ta, elabena ƒoƒoeawo te Egiptetɔwo katã.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the 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 the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve 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 against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; 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.
For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
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 indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 Ke ègatsi tsitre ɖe nye ameawo ŋu kokoko, eye nègbe be yemaɖe asi le wo ŋu woadzo o,
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let 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.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even 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 therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, 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.
Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 Ke ame siwo mebu Yehowa ƒe nya nanekee o la gblẽ woƒe lãwo ɖe gbedzi.
Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Ale Mose do asi ɖe dzi, eye Yehowa ɖo dziɖegbe kple kpetsi kple dzikedzo ɖa.
Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh 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 was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, 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.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
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 children of Israel were, there was 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.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and 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; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay 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 have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.
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 don’t yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 (Kpetsi la gblẽ ɖetifu kple lu o, elabena lu la ɖi, eye ɖetifu la hã ƒo se xoxo hafi,
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 ke lu kple bli ya megblẽ o, elabena woawo metse haɖe o.)
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
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.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
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 and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Ale Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye wògbe asiɖeɖe le Israelviwo ŋu abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe to Mose dzi ene.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.
