2 Mose 3

1 Na Mose rehwɛ nʼase Yetro a ɔyɛ Midian sɔfo nguan. Ɔde nguan no wuraa sare no mu kɔɔ akyirikyiri koduu Horeb a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn bepɔw no so.

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 Prɛko pɛ, na Awurade bɔfo nam wura bi gyaframa mu yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Mose. Mose huu sɛ wura no redɛw nanso na ɛnhyew.

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 Enti Mose kae se, “Mɛkɔ akɔhwɛ anwonwade yi ahu nea nti a wura no nhyew.”

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 Bere a Awurade huu sɛ ɔrekɔhwɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ no fii wura no mu se, “Mose! Mose!” Mose gyee so se, “Me ni.”

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mmɛn me. Yi wo mpaboa na faako a wugyina no yɛ asase kronkron.”

And he said, Draw not nigh here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.

6 Ɔtoaa so se, “Mene wʼagyanom Nyankopɔn, Abraham Nyankopɔn, Isak Nyankopɔn ne Yakob Nyankopɔn no.” Mose kataa nʼanim, efisɛ na osuro sɛ ɔbɛhwɛ Onyankopɔn anim.

Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

7 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mahu amanehunu a me manfo a wɔwɔ Misraim no wɔ mu no, na mate wɔn nkotosrɛ a ɛfa wɔn nnwuma wuranom ho, na minim wɔn ahohia.

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

8 Maba sɛ merebegye wɔn afi Misraimfo nsam na mayi wɔn afi Misraim asase so de wɔn akɔ asase pa a ɛso bae so, asase a ɛwo ne nufusu wɔ so; asase a Kanaanfo, Hetifo, Amorifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo te so no so.

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 Mate Israelfo no su na mahu nya a Misraimfo di wɔn no.

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Enti afei, merebɛsoma wo akɔ Farao nkyɛn, na woakoyi me man Israel afi Misraim.”

Come now therefore, and I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11 Mose kae se, “Mene hena a ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ Farao anim akoyi Israelfo afi Misraim asase so?”

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 Onyankopɔn buaa no se, “Mɛka wo ho. Adansede a ɛkyerɛ sɛ me na masoma wo no ni. Sɛ wuyi nnipa no fi Misraim a, mobɛsom Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔw yi so.”

And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, all of you shall serve God upon this mountain.

13 Mose bisae se, “Sɛ mekɔ Israelfo no nkyɛn kɔka se wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn na wasoma me na wobisa me se, ‘Onyankopɔn bɛn na mereka ne ho asɛm no’ a, mmuae bɛn na memfa mma wɔn?”

And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 Obuaa Mose se, ka se, “Mene nea ɔwɔ hɔ daa no. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Mene Nea Mene na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.’”

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you.

15 Onyankopɔn toaa so se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Awurade a ɔyɛ mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Nyankopɔn na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.’” Eyi ne me din a wɔde bɛkae me daa fi awo ntoatoaso so kosi awo ntoatoaso so.

And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

16 “Kɔ, frɛ Israelfo mpanyimfo na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Awurade, Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Nyankopɔn no daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me, kae se: Mawɛn mo na mahu nea wɔde ayɛ mo wɔ Misraim.

Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

17 Mehyɛ bɔ sɛ meyi mo afi mo awerɛhow mu wɔ Misraim de mo akɔ asase a Kanaanfo, Hetifo, Amorifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo te so nnɛ yi a ɛwo ne nufusu wɔ so no so.’

And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 “Israelfo mpanyimfo betie wʼasɛm no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne mpanyimfo no kɔ Misraimhene hɔ kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade, Hebrifo Nyankopɔn, ne yɛn ahyia na waka akyerɛ yɛn se, yentu nnansa kwan nkɔ sare so nkɔbɔ afɔre mma no.’

And they shall hearken to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and all of you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we plead to you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

19 Nanso minim sɛ Misraimhene remma mo kwan da, gye sɛ nsa bi a ɛyɛ duru hyɛ no ketee.

And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

20 Enti mɛteɛ me nsa na mede anwonwade ahorow a mɛyɛ wɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa atia wɔn. Ɛno akyi no, ɔbɛma mo akɔ.

And I will stretch out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

21 “Mɛma mo anim aba nyam wɔ Misraimfo no anim na wɔahyehyɛ akyɛde ama mo, na moankɔ no nsapan.

And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when all of you go, all of you shall not go empty.

22 Ɔbea biara mmisa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinne ne ntama pa mfi nʼafipamfo ne ne fifo mmea nkyɛn na wɔmfa nsiesie wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea ho. Saayɛ so na mobɛfa afow Misraimfo no.”

But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and all of you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and all of you shall spoil the Egyptians.
