U-Eksodusi 9
1 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yana kuFaro uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, ukuthi, “Yekela abantu bami bahambe, ukuze bayengikhonza.”
Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn no pɛ sɛ wobɛma ne nkurɔfoɔ akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ama no.”
2 Ungabalela ukuthi bahambe ube ulokhu ubabambile
Sɛ wampene a,
3 uThixo uzakwehlisela isifo esibi ezifuyweni zakho emadlelweni, amabhiza enu, obabhemi, amakamela, inkomo, izimvu lembuzi.
Awurade tumi mu ɔyaredɔm bɛba abɛkum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfunumu, mo nyoma, mo anantwie, mo nnwan ne mo mpɔnkye nyinaa.
4 Kodwa uThixo uzakwenza umahluko phakathi kwezifuyo zabako-Israyeli lezamaGibhithe ukuze kungafi lasinye isifuyo sabako-Israyeli.’”
Nanso, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ bɛto Israelfoɔ mmoa ne Misraimfoɔ mmoa ntam. Israelfoɔ mmoa deɛ, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
5 UThixo wamisa isikhathi esithile wathi, “uThixo uzakwenza lokhu kusasa elizweni leli.”
Awurade ahyɛ ɛberɛ pɔtee a ɔde ɔyaredɔm no bɛba. Ɔkaa sɛ adeɛ kye a, ɔbɛma ɔyaredɔm no aba asase no so.
6 Lakanye ngelanga elilandelayo uThixo wakwenza, zonke izifuyo zamaGibhithe zafa, kodwa akufanga ngitsho lasinye isifuyo sabako-Israyeli.
Na ɛbaa saa. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nyɛmmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim no hyɛɛ aseɛ wuwuiɛ, nanso Israelman mu deɛ, ayɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anyare.
7 UFaro wathuma amadoda ukuyahlola umonakalo afumana ukuthi kwakungafanga sifuyo lasinye sabako-Israyeli. Kodwa inhliziyo yakhe yala ilokhu ilukhuni, wabalela abantu ukuthi bahambe.
Farao somaa nnipa kɔɔ Israel kɔhwɛɛ sɛ ampa ara ɛhɔ nyɛmmoa no bi anwu koraa anaa. Nnipa no bɛbɔɔ Farao amanneɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu nanso, nʼadwene ansesa. Wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
8 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi lo-Aroni, “Thathani umlotha omlutshwana eziko lifike kuFaro uMosi awuhazele emoyeni phambi kwakhe.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsa nso mfiri fononoo mu, na Mose nto mpete ewiem wɔ Farao anim.
9 Uzakuba luthuli phezu kwelizwe lonke laseGibhithe, lapho-ke kuzaphihlika amathumba amabi ebantwini lasezinyamazaneni kulolonke ilizwe.”
Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfuturo ama mpɔmpɔnini asisi nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
10 Ngakho bathatha umlotha eziko baya kuFaro. UMosi wawuhazela emoyeni, abantu bonke lezinyamazana zonke kwamilwa ngamathumba aphihlikayo.
Enti, wɔkɔsaa nso firii fononoo mu de kɔɔ Farao anim, na ɔrehwɛ no, Mose to petee ewiem na ɛdanee mpɔmpɔnini sisii nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa.
11 Izangoma zehluleka ukumisana loMosi ngenxa yamathumba ayezibulala kanye lamaGibhithe wonke.
Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifoɔ no antumi ne Mose anni asie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
12 Kodwa uThixo wenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro wala ukulalela uMosi lo-Aroni njengoba uThixo wayevele etshilo kuMosi.
Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
13 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Vuka ekuseni kakhulu uye kuFaro, uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, uthi, yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bayengikhonza.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpahema na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Hebrifoɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn no se, ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔsom me.
14 Kungenjalo kulesisikhathi ngizakwehlisa ubunzima bezinhlupho zami obulesihluku phezu kwakho, phezu kwezinceku zakho labantu bakho ukuze lazi ukuthi kakho omunye onjengami emhlabeni wonke.
Afei deɛ, mede ɔhaw na ɛbɛto mo so na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo ne wʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne Misraimfoɔ nyinaa ahunu sɛ, Onyankopɔn biara nni asase yi so ka me ho.
15 Kunje nje ngabe sengiselulile isandla sami ngakutshaya kanye labantu bakho ngesifo ebesizakucitsha emhlabeni.
Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bɛkum mo nyinaa.
16 Kodwa ngikuphephisile ngayonale injongo yokuthi ngikubonise amandla ami, lokuthi ibizo lami lifakazwe kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Nanso manyɛ no saa, ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.
17 Ulokhu utshingela abantu bami ubalela ukuthi bahambe.
Woayɛ kyɛnkyerɛnn wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so a ɛno enti, womma wɔnkɔ.
18 Ngalokho-ke ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizakwehlisa isiqhotho esingakaze sehlele eGibhithe lilokhu lababala laba khona ilizwe leli.
Ɔkyena saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, mɛma asukɔtweaa a ano yɛ den a ebi ntɔɔ Misraiman mu da atɔ.
19 Wohle nje uthumezele ilizwi lokuthi izifuyo zakho lakho konke olakho emadlelweni kubuyiswe kuvalelwe esibayeni esivikelweyo ngoba isiqhotho leso sizatshaya umuntu wonke lesifuyo sonke esingabuthwanga nxa silokhu sisegangeni, konke kuzakufa.’”
Ntɛm! Monka mo anantwie a mode wɔn kɔ adidi no mmra efie. Ɛfiri sɛ, asukɔtweaa no bɛkum nnipa ne mmoa a wɔbɛka wiram no nyinaa.”
20 Lezozikhulu zikaFaro ezalesabayo ilizwi likaThixo zaphanga zangenisa izigqili zazo lezifuyo ngaphakathi.
Misraimfoɔ a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ nyinaa baa efie.
21 Labo abangalinanzanga ilizwi likaThixo izigqili zabo lezifuyo zabo bakuyekela kusegangeni.
Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no gyaa wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ wɔ wiram maa asukɔtweaa no kaa wɔn.
22 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelula isandla sakho siye phezulu ukuze kune isiqhotho kulolonke iGibhithe, phezu kwabantu lezinyamazana laphezu kwakho konke okukhulayo emasimini aseGibhithe.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa kyerɛ ɔsoro na ma ampariboɔ no ntɔ ngu nnipa, mmoa ne nnua a ɛwɔ Misraiman nyinaa so.”
23 UMosi wonela ukukhomba ngentonga yakhe phezulu, uThixo wehlisa umdumo lesiqhotho, umbane wabaneka phansi emhlabathini. Ngakho uThixo wanisa isiqhotho elizweni laseGibhithe.
Enti, Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ ewiem maa Awurade maa ayerɛmo ne aprannaa dwidwaeɛ.
24 Isiqhotho satshaya umbane wabaneka yonke indawo. Sasingakaze sibe khona isiphepho esinjalo sekulokhu isizwe saseGibhithe saba khona.
Na ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ hu yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a wɔkyekyeree Misraim kɔsi saa ɛberɛ no, na aprannaa mpaapae saa da.
25 Isiqhotho satshaya saqothula yonke into egangeni, abantu lezinyamazana; sabhuqa konke okukhulayo emasimini, saphundla izihlahla zonke eGibhithe.
Misraiman sɛee pasaa. Biribiara a ɛkaa wiram, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa no, wɔn nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Nnua nso bubuiɛ maa afudeɛ sɛeɛ.
26 Indawo eyasilayo yiGosheni lapho okwakulabako-Israyeli khona.
Baabi a ampariboɔ no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfoɔ no te hɔ.
27 UFaro wasebiza uMosi lo-Aroni. Wathi kubo, “Okwamanje ngenze isono. UThixo ulungile, kukanti mina labantu bami siyizoni.
Afei, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Afei deɛ, mahunu me mfomsoɔ. Awurade di bem na me ne me nkurɔfoɔ ayɛ bɔne ama atra so.
28 Khulekani kuThixo, ngoba ukukhwaza kwezulu lesiqhotho sekwanele. Ngizaliyekela lihambe; akusadingeki ukuthi lihlale.”
Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne ampariboɔ dodoɔ yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
29 UMosi waphendula wathi. “Nxa sengiphumile edolobheni ngizavula izandla zami ngikhuleke kuThixo. Ukuduma kuzakhawula kungabe kusaba lesiqhotho, ukuze wazi ukuthi umhlaba ngokaThixo.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mefiri kuropɔn yi mu ara pɛ a, mɛma me nsa so abɔ Awurade mpaeɛ na aprannaa no ne ampariboɔ no agyae. Yei bɛma mo ahunu sɛ Awurade na asase nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
30 Kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi wena lezikhulu zakho lilokhu lingamesabi uThixo uNkulunkulu.”
Nanso, menim yie sɛ wo ne wo mpanimfoɔ deɛ, yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, mobɛpirim mo akoma.”
31 (Amabele lebhali kwabhuqwa nya ngoba amabele ayeselezikhwebu lophoko selumumethe.
Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn ayuo ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛreso aba no nyinaa.
32 Ingqoloyi lenyawuthi khona kakuthintwanga ngoba kuvuthwa muva.)
Nanso, atokoɔ ne aburoo deɛ, ansɛe, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛmfifiriɛ.
33 UMosi wasesuka kuFaro waphuma edolobheni. Welulela izandla zakhe kuThixo; ukuduma kwezulu lesiqhotho kwakhawula, izulu alabe lisana emhlabeni.
Enti Mose firii Farao anim wɔ kuro no mu maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ Awurade maa aprannaa no ne asukɔtweaa no ne osuo no gyaee tɔ.
34 Kwathi uFaro ebona ukuthi izulu lesiqhotho lokukhwaza kwezulu kwasekukhawule waphinda wenza isono: Yena lezikhulu zakhe benza inhliziyo zabo zaba lukhuni.
Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ hunuu sɛ biribiara ayɛ yie wɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ so pirim wɔn akoma yɛɛ bɔne de buu ɛbɔ a wɔhyɛɛ Awurade no so.
35 Ngakho inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni akaze avumela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bahambe njengoba uThixo wayetshilo ngoMosi.
Enti, Farao amma nkurɔfoɔ no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
