< U-Eksodusi 6 >
1 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khathesi uzabona engizakwenza kuFaro; ngoba ngesandla esilamandla uzabayekela bahambe, langesandla esilamandla uzabaxotsha elizweni lakhe.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wubehu nea mede bɛyɛ Farao. Menam me tumi so bɛhyɛ no na wama me nkurɔfo no akɔ; me basa kokuroo no bɛma wapam wɔn afi ɔman no mu.”
2 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuMozisi wathi kuye: NgiyiNkosi;
Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mene Awurade no.
3 njalo ngabonakala kuAbrahama, kuIsaka, lakuJakobe njengoNkulunkulu uSomandla; kodwa ngebizo lami lokuthi uJehova ngangingaziwa kubo.
Miyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfo. Nanso mammɔ me din sɛ Awurade no ankyerɛ wɔn.
4 Njalo lami ngamisa isivumelwano sami labo ukubapha ilizwe leKhanani, ilizwe lobuhambuma babo, ababehlala kulo njengabezizwe.
Na me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ apam sɛ mede Kanaan asase a na tete no wɔte so sɛ ahɔho no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo.
5 Futhi lami ngizwile ukububula kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, amaGibhithe abagcine ebugqilini; njalo ngikhumbule isivumelwano sami.
Bio, mate Israelfo apinisi ne nya a Misraimfo di wɔn no nyinaa na makae me ne wɔn apam no.
6 Ngakho-ke tshono kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: NgiyiNkosi; njalo ngizalikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe; ngilikhulule ebugqilini bawo, ngilihlenge ngengalo eyeluliweyo langezigwebo ezinkulu.
“Enti ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwonwade de ayi wɔn afi nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.
7 Njalo ngizazithathela lina libe yisizwe, ngizakuba kini nguNkulunkulu; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, olikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe;
Megye wɔn ato mu sɛ me nkurɔfo na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afi Misraimfo nsam no.
8 njalo ngizalingenisa elizweni engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika uAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe, ngilinike lona libe yilifa; mina, iNkosi.
Mede wɔn bɛba asase a mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ mede bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so. Saa asase no bɛyɛ mo agyapade. Mene Awurade no.’”
9 UMozisi wasekhuluma ngokunjalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli; kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi ngenxa yokukhathazeka komoya langenxa yobugqili obunzima.
Enti Mose kaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no, nanso wɔantie, esiane abawpa a efi ɔhyɛ ntraso nti.
10 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
11 Ngena ukhulume kuFaro, inkosi yeGibhithe, ukuthi ayekele abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuke elizweni lakhe.
“San kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no mfi ne man no mu nkɔ.”
12 Kodwa uMozisi wakhuluma phambi kweNkosi esithi: Khangela, abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabangilalelanga; pho-ke uFaro angangizwa njani, engingowendebe ezingasokanga?
Nanso Mose kae se, “Sɛ Israelfo no rentie me a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Farao betie me, bere a mʼano ntewee yi?”
13 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni yabapha umlayo ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli langoFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ukukhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe.
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnsan nkɔ Israelfo no ne Farao a ɔyɛ Misraimfo hene no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim asase so nkɔ.

26 Lo nguAroni loMozisi iNkosi eyathi kubo: Khuphani abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo.
Saa Aaron ne Mose yi ara na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munkoyi Israelfo nyinaa mfi Misraim asase so” no.

Na wɔn na wɔkɔɔ Farao hɔ kɔkaa se ɔmma Israelfo no mfi Misraim no.
28 Kwasekusithi mhla iNkosi ikhuluma kuMozisi elizweni leGibhithe
Da a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Misraim asase so no,
29 iNkosi yakhuluma kuMozisi isithi: Mina ngiyiNkosi; khuluma kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe konke engikukhuluma kuwe.
ɔkae se, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim hempɔn no.”
30 UMozisi wasesithi phambi kweNkosi: Khangela, ngingowendebe ezingasokanga; ngakho uFaro angangizwa njani?
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bio se, “Mʼano ntewee yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na asɛm a mɛka no bɛtɔ Farao asom ama watie me?”
