U-Eksodusi 10
1 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Hamba kuFaro, ngoba sengiyenze yaba lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe lezinhliziyo zezikhulu zakhe ukuze ngenze izimanga zami kubo
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “San kɔ Farao nkyɛn efisɛ mapirim ɔne ne mpanyimfo nyinaa koma sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi ayɛ me nsɛnkyerɛnne ahorow yi wɔ wɔn mu
2 ukuze lilandisele abantwabenu labazukulu benu ukuthi ngabahlukuluza njani abeGibhithe lokuthi ngabenzela izimanga, khona lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
na ɛnam so ama woatumi aka anwonwade a mayɛ wɔ Misraim asase so no akyerɛ wo mma ne wo nenanom, sɛnea me ne Misraimfo no dii no nwenweenwen ne sɛnea meyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ahorow wɔ wɔn mu no, na ama woahu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
3 Ngakho oMosi lo-Aroni baya kuFaro bathi kuye, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: ‘Uzakwala kuze kube nini ukuzithoba phambi kwami? Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bayengikhonza.
Enti Mose ne Aaron kohuu Farao ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifo Nyankopɔn no se mimmisa wo se, ‘Enkosi da bɛn na wubebu me animtiaa? Ma me nkurɔfo nkɔ na wɔnkɔsom me.
4 Nxa usala ukuthi bahambe ngizaletha intethe elizweni lakho kusasa.
Sɛ woamma wɔn ankɔ a, ɔkyena nko ara mɛma mmoadabi aba wo man yi mu.
5 Zizakwembesa wonke umhlabathi usale ungasabonakali. Zizakudla ziphundle du lalokho okuncinyane okwatshiywa yisiqhotho kanye lezihlahla zonke ezikhula egangeni.
Wɔbɛkata asase no ani nyinaa. Na wɔbɛwe biribiara a ɛkae a mparuwbo a ɛtɔe no ansɛe no no nyinaa a wuram nnua nyinaa ka ho.
6 Zizagcwala ezindlini zakho lezezikhulu zakho zonke lezamaGibhithe, into oyihlo labokhokho bakho abangazange bayibone selokhu bahlala kulelilizwe kuze kube manje.’” Khonapho uMosi wabe efulathela esuka kuFaro.
Mmoa no bɛhyɛ wʼahemfi hɔ, wo mpanyimfo afi mu ne Misraimfo afi nyinaa ma tɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhaw a, efi bere a mo agyanom bɛtenaa asase yi so de besi nnɛ no, bi nsii saa da.’” Na Mose fii Farao anim kɔe.
7 Izikhulu zikaFaro zathi kuye, “Koze kube nini na indoda le ilokhu iyisifu kithi? Yekela abantu bahambe bayekhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo. Ulokhu ungaboni yini ukuthi ilizwe leGibhithe selichithekile?”
Farao mpanyimfo bisaa no se, “Enkosi da bɛn na saa ɔbarima yi bɛyɛ yɛn konnua? Wunhuu sɛ Misraim nyinaa adan amamfo? Ma nnipa no kwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn no!”
8 UMosi lo-Aroni basebebuyiswa kuFaro. Wathi, “Hambani liyokhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Kanti konje ngobani abahambayo?”
Enti wɔsan de Mose ne Aaron baa Farao anim. Farao kae se, “Eye, monkɔsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Na ɛhefo na mo ne wɔn bɛkɔ?”
9 UMosi waphendula wathi, “Sizahamba labatsha labadala bethu; lamadodana lamadodakazi ethu, lemihlambi yethu ngoba kumele senzele uThixo umkhosi.”
Mose buaa Farao se, “Yɛde mmofra ne mpanyin, yɛn mmabarima, yɛn mmabea, yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi na ɛbɛkɔ. Yɛde yɛn agyapade nyinaa na ebetu saa kwan no, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa kɔ Awurade afahyɛ no.”
10 UFaro wathi, “uThixo kabe lani, kumbe likhumbula ukuthi ngizaliyekela lihambe labesifazane labantwana! Kusobala ukuthi liqonde ukwenza okubi.
Farao de abufuw buae se, “Sɛ mɛma mode mmofra nketewa yi akɔ a, ɛno de, Awurade ankasa nka mo ho. Mahu sɛ mowɔ adwemmɔne.
11 Hatshi! Akuhambe amadoda kuphela; amkhonze uThixo ngoba phela yikho ebelivele likukhalela.” Ngakho uMosi lo-Aroni basebexotshwa phambi kukaFaro.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa. Mo mmarima no, monkɔsom Awurade, efisɛ ɛno na mobisaa me.” Farao pam wɔn fii nʼahemfi hɔ.
12 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelula isandla sakho phezu kweGibhithe ukuze kwehle isikhongwane, izintethe, kulolonke ilizwe zidle zigugude konke okukhulayo emangweni, konke lokho okwatshiywa yisiqhotho.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa wɔ Misraim so na mmoadabi mmɛkata asase no nyinaa so, na wonni biribiara a mparuwbo no ansɛe no no.”
13 UMosi wayiphakamisa intonga yakhe phezu kweGibhithe, uThixo wasequbula umoya wempumalanga wavunguza elizweni lonke ngalelolanga lobusuku bakhona. Ekuseni umoya waletha izintethe.
Enti Mose maa ne pema so kyerɛɛ Misraim asase so maa Awurade bɔɔ mframa bi fii apuei fam awia ne anadwo. Ade kyee no, na apuei mframa no de mmoadabi no abegu asase no so nyinaa.
14 Zalihlasela lonke elaseGibhithe zagcwala silikici kuzozonke izindawo zelizwe ngobunengi bazo. Kwakungakaze kube lesikhongwane esingako njalo singeyikufa saba khona njalo lanini.
Mmoadabi no kataa Misraim asase no so mmaa nyinaa. Misraim abakɔsɛm kyerɛ se, mmoadabi mmaa ɔman no mu saa da na bi nso remma saa bio.
15 Intethe lezo zavala umhlabathi waba mnyama bhuqe. Zatshaya zabhuqa konke okwakusele ngesikhathi sesiqhotho, konke okwakukhula emangweni kanye lezithelo zezihlahla. Akusalanga lutho oluluhlaza ezihlahleni loba isilimo bani kulolonke ilizwe laseGibhithe.
Mmoa no kataa asase ani nyinaa ma wosiw owia ani enti wɔmaa sum duruu asase no so. Wɔwee biribiara a mparuwbo no ansɛe no no; biribiara a ɛyɛ ahabammono anka; sɛ ɛyɛ dua anaa afifide a ɛwɔ ɔman no mu baabiara no.
16 UFaro waphanga wabiza uMosi lo-Aroni wathi, “Ngonile kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lakini.
Ntɛm pa ara Farao tuu abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ne mo nyinaa.
17 Manje-ke ngixolelani njalo libuye likhuleke kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ukuthi asuse loluhlupho olubhubhisayo.”
Afei, momfa me bɔne nkyɛ me bio na monsrɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛ onyi owu yi mfi yɛn so.”
18 UMosi wasesuka kuFaro wayakhuleka kuThixo.
Enti Mose fii Farao anim kɔsrɛɛ Awurade.
19 UThixo wasewuguqula umoya waphephetha uvelela entshonalanga ulamandla. Wazidudula izintethe wazitshovela oLwandle Olubomvu. Akusalanga ntethe layinye loba ngaphi eGibhithe.
Awurade bɔɔ atɔe fam mframa dennen bi ma epiaa mmoadabi no nyinaa koguu Po Kɔkɔɔ no mu, a anka ɔbaako pɛ koraa wɔ Misraim asase no so.
20 Kodwa uThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kaze abavumela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bahambe.
Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma Israelfo no ankɔ.
21 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelulela isandla sakho emkhathini ukwenzela ukuthi umnyama wembese iGibhithe lonke, umnyama obambekayo.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa kyerɛ soro mma sum kabii mmeduru Misraim asase so.”
22 Ngakho uMosi waseselulela isandla sakhe phezulu, kwathi gubu umnyama okhasa phansi, walembesa lonke elaseGibhithe okwensuku ezintathu.
Enti Mose teɛɛ ne nsa hwɛɛ soro maa sum kabii beduruu Misraim asase no so nnansa.
23 Kakho owayesabona omunye njalo kakho owayengasuka endaweni yakhe okwalezonsuku ezintathu. Kodwa ama-Israyeli ayelakho ukukhanya ezindaweni ayehlala kuzo.
Sum no duruu saa no, na obiara nhu hwee na wontumi ntu wɔn anan nso nnansa. Nanso Israelfo no de, na nea wɔte hɔ yɛ hann.
24 UFaro wasebiza uMosi wathi, “Hambani liyekhonza uThixo. Ngitsho labesifazane benu labantwana hambani labo; litshiye kuphela imihlambi yezifuyo zenu.”
Farao frɛɛ Mose ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ na kɔsom Awurade. Wubetumi de wo mma aka wo ho akɔ; nanso wo nguan ne wʼanantwi no de, ma wɔnka ha.”
25 Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Kumele usivumele ukuthi siyokwenza imihlatshelo leminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.
Nanso Mose buae se, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi kɔ na yɛde wɔn mu bi bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn.
26 Izifuyo zethu lazo zimele zihambe lathi kungasali lasinye. Kumele siyosebenzisa ezinye zazo ekukhonzeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu. Phela kasisoze sazi ukuthi sizasebenzisa siphi isifuyo ukukhonza uThixo size sifike khonale.”
Aboa tɔte koraa yɛrennyaw wɔ ha; ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn no afɔre. Yennim nea ɔbɛpɛ gye sɛ yedu hɔ.”
27 Kodwa uThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kaze afuna ukubayekela bahambe.
Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma wɔn ankɔ.
28 UFaro wathi kuMosi, “Suka phambi kwami! Phinde ngikubone futhi. Mhla wangibona futhi ufile wena.”
Farao teɛteɛɛ Mose se, “Fi mʼani so kɔ! Mɛhwɛ sɛ woremma mʼanim bio! Da a wubehu mʼanim no, wubewu.”
29 UMosi waphendula wathi, “Akube njengokuba usitsho. Phinde ungibone njalo lapha.”
Mose buae se, “Meremma wʼanim bio sɛnea woreka no pɛpɛɛpɛ.”
