2 Mose 6

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wubehu nea mede bɛyɛ Farao. Menam me tumi so bɛhyɛ no na wama me nkurɔfo no akɔ; me basa kokuroo no bɛma wapam wɔn afi ɔman no mu.”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.

2 Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mene Awurade no.

And God spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:

3 Miyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfo. Nanso mammɔ me din sɛ Awurade no ankyerɛ wɔn.

I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;

4 Na me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ apam sɛ mede Kanaan asase a na tete no wɔte so sɛ ahɔho no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo.

Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.

5 Bio, mate Israelfo apinisi ne nya a Misraimfo di wɔn no nyinaa na makae me ne wɔn apam no.

Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.

6 “Enti ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwonwade de ayi wɔn afi nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.

Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;

7 Megye wɔn ato mu sɛ me nkurɔfo na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afi Misraimfo nsam no.

And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:

8 Mede wɔn bɛba asase a mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ mede bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so. Saa asase no bɛyɛ mo agyapade. Mene Awurade no.’”

And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.

9 Enti Mose kaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no, nanso wɔantie, esiane abawpa a efi ɔhyɛ ntraso nti.

And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.

10 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

11 “San kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no mfi ne man no mu nkɔ.”

Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

12 Nanso Mose kae se, “Sɛ Israelfo no rentie me a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Farao betie me, bere a mʼano ntewee yi?”

And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.

13 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnsan nkɔ Israelfo no ne Farao a ɔyɛ Misraimfo hene no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim asase so nkɔ.

Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14 Nnipa a na wotuatua Israel mmusuakuw no ano no din na edidi so yi: Ruben a ɔyɛ Israel abakan mmabarima yɛ: Hanok, Palu, Hesron, Karmi. Eyinom na wɔwoo Ruben asefo.

So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him—Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.

And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.

26 Saa Aaron ne Mose yi ara na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munkoyi Israelfo nyinaa mfi Misraim asase so” no.

The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:

27 Na wɔn na wɔkɔɔ Farao hɔ kɔkaa se ɔmma Israelfo no mfi Misraim no.

They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.

28 Da a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Misraim asase so no,

Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.

29 ɔkae se, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim hempɔn no.”

So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.

30 Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bio se, “Mʼano ntewee yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na asɛm a mɛka no bɛtɔ Farao asom ama watie me?”

And Moses said before Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?
