2 Mose 10
1 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
The LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs amongst them;
2 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.”
and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done amongst them; that you may know that I am the LORD.”
3 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.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Sɛ woamma wɔn ankɔ a, ɔkyena nko ara mɛma mmoadabi aba wo man yi mu.
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
5 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.
and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
6 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.
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 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!”
Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
8 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?”
Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will go?”
9 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.”
Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
10 Farao de abufuw buae se, “Sɛ mɛma mode mmofra nketewa yi akɔ a, ɛno de, Awurade ankasa nka mo ho. Mahu sɛ mowɔ adwemmɔne.
He said to them, “The LORD be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
11 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa. Mo mmarima no, monkɔsom Awurade, efisɛ ɛno na mobisaa me.” Farao pam wɔn fii nʼahemfi hɔ.
Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”
13 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.
Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 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.
The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.
15 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.
For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Ntɛm pa ara Farao tuu abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ne mo nyinaa.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Afei, momfa me bɔne nkyɛ me bio na monsrɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛ onyi owu yi mfi yɛn so.”
Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
18 Enti Mose fii Farao anim kɔsrɛɛ Awurade.
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD.
19 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.
The LORD sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma Israelfo no ankɔ.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa kyerɛ soro mma sum kabii mmeduru Misraim asase so.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”
22 Enti Mose teɛɛ ne nsa hwɛɛ soro maa sum kabii beduruu Misraim asase no so nnansa.
Moses stretched out his hand towards the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 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.
They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 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.”
Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”
25 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.
Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 Aboa tɔte koraa yɛrennyaw wɔ ha; ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn no afɔre. Yennim nea ɔbɛpɛ gye sɛ yedu hɔ.”
Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.”
27 Nanso Awurade pirim Farao koma nti wamma wɔn ankɔ.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.
28 Farao teɛteɛɛ Mose se, “Fi mʼani so kɔ! Mɛhwɛ sɛ woremma mʼanim bio! Da a wubehu mʼanim no, wubewu.”
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”
29 Mose buae se, “Meremma wʼanim bio sɛnea woreka no pɛpɛɛpɛ.”
Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
