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?”

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