2 Mose 11

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mɛma ɔhaw a etwa to aba Farao ne nʼasase so. Na ɛno akyi no, ɔbɛma mo akɔ. Nokware, ne ho bɛpere no sɛ mubefi ne ho ama ɔno ara apam mo afi ɔman no mu.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

2 Monka nkyerɛ Israelfo mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa se wɔnsrɛ wɔn amannifo Misraimfo no na wɔmma wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ adwinne.”

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.'

3 Awurade maa Misraimfo no huu Israelfo no mmɔbɔ, na Mose nso yɛɛ onipa kɛse a na Farao mpanyimfo ne Misraimfo no bu no yiye wɔ ɔman no mu.

And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

4 Mose bɔɔ Farao amanneɛ se, “Nea Awurade se ni, ‘Anadwo nnɔndumien metwa mu wɔ Misraim asase so.

And Moses said: 'Thus saith the LORD: About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt;

5 Na Misraim fi biara mu ɔbabarima panyin bewu. Efi Farao babarima panyin so, ne dehye a obedi nʼade, ne somfo mu somfo kumaa koraa ba panyin ne ne nyɛmmoa abakan nyinaa bewuwu.

and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.

6 Na owu no ho agyaadwotwa bedu Misraim asase so nyinaa. Awerɛhow a ɛte saa mmaa Misraim asase so da, na bi nso remma da bio.

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

7 Na Israelfo mu de, biribiara bɛyɛ dwoodwoo na ɔkraman mpo rempɔw.’ Na ɛbɛma woahu sɛ, Awurade de nsonoe ato Misraimfo ne Israelfo ntam!

But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog whet his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

8 Wo mpanyimfo yi nyinaa betu mmirika, adi mʼakyi, akotow asrɛ sɛ, ‘Yɛpa wo kyɛw, fi ha ntɛm na kɔfa wo nkurɔfo nyinaa ka wo ho kɔ.’ Sɛ ɛba saa a ansa na mɛkɔ!” Mose wiee kasa no, ɔde abufuwhyew fii ahemfi hɔ kɔe.

And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down unto me, saying: Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out.' And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

9 Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose se, “Asɛm a wobɛka no, Farao rentie. Na ɛno so na megyina ayɛ anwonwade de ada me tumi adi.”

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.'

10 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ saa anwonwade no nyinaa wɔ Farao anim de, nanso Awurade pirim ne koma sɛnea ɔremma nnipa no mfi asase no so nkɔ.

And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
