< 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.
The LORD said to Moses, "Yet one plague more will I bring on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out 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 hearing of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing."
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.
The LORD gave the people favor 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, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will 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 firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of livestock.
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.
There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be 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 a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt 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.
All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, "Get out, with all the people who follow you;" and after that I will go out.'" 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to 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.
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.
