2 Mose 7
1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Mayɛ wo sɛ Onyankopɔn ama Farao na wo nua Aaron nso bɛyɛ wo diyifo.
And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Asɛm biara a mɛka akyerɛ wo no, ka kyerɛ Aaron, na ɔno nso nka nkyerɛ Farao sɛ ɔmma Israelfo no kwan na womfi Misraim.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Na mepirim Farao koma, na mayɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree wɔ Misraim
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 nanso ɔrentie mo. Na mɛfa atemmu a mu yɛ den so de me nsa ato Misraim so na mayi me nkurɔfo Israelfo no.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, [and] my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Na sɛ mekyerɛ me tumi kyerɛ Misraimfo no a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, na mayi me nkurɔfo no afi mu.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 Bere a Mose ne Aaron kohyiaa Farao no, na Mose adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe, na Aaron nso adi mfe aduɔwɔtwe abiɛsa.
And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 “Farao bɛhwehwɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ anwonwade akyerɛ no ama wahu sɛ, nokware, Onyankopɔn na wasoma mo. Sɛ obisa saa a, Aaron ntow ne pema no nkyene fam na ɛbɛdan ɔwɔ.”
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent.
10 Enti Mose ne Aaron kɔɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔyɛɛ anwonwade no sɛnea Awurade akyerɛ wɔn no. Aaron tow ne pema no kyenee fam wɔ Farao ne ne nkurɔfo anim ma ɛdan ɔwɔ.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafo ne ne nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwonwade koro no ara bi.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 Wɔn nso pema tumi dan ɔwɔ. Nanso Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn de no.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ komaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ otie asɛm a Awurade kae no.
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
14 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Farao apirim ne koma nti, ɔbɛkɔ so asiw nnipa no kwan sɛ ɔremma wɔnkɔ.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart [is] hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Nanso Awurade kae se: San kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpa a ɔrekɔ asubɔnten no mu. Kogyina asu no konkɔn so na hyia no wɔ hɔ a wukura wo pema a ɛdan ɔwɔ no.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 Ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Awurade, Hebrifo Nyankopɔn asan asoma me wo nkyɛn sɛ ma nnipa no kwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom me wɔ sare so. Woayɛ asoɔden.
And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 Afei, Awurade se: Wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no. Efisɛ maka akyerɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa ne pema no mmɔ Nil asu no mu na nsu no bɛdan mogya.
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in mine hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Mpataa a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu nyinaa bewuwu ama nsu no abɔn a Misraimfo no rentumi nnom.’”
And the fish that [is] in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne pema no nkyerɛ nsu a ɛwɔ Misraim no nyinaa; wɔn nsubɔnten, wɔn nsuwa, wɔn atare ne wɔn nsu a ɛtaataa hɔ ne nsu a ɛwɔ afi mu nyinaa so na ɛbɛdan mogya.”
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
20 Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ wɔn no. Bere a Farao ne ne mpanyimfo gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, Aaron de pema no bɔɔ Nil ani maa asubɔnten no dan mogya.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were turned to blood.
21 Mpataa a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa wuwu maa nsu no bɔnee, enti na Misraimfo no ntumi nnom. Misraim asase so nyinaa dan mogya.
And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Nkonyaayifo a wɔwɔ Misraim nso nam wɔn nkonyaayi so maa nsu dan mogya, nti Farao kɔɔ so pirim ne koma a na ontie asɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no no.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
23 Ɔsan kɔɔ nʼahemfi a hwee ampusuw no.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 Misraimfo no tutuu mmura wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn so sɛnea wobenya nsu anom, efisɛ na wontumi nnom asubɔnten no mu nsu.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Asubɔnten a ɛdan mogya no dii nnaawɔtwe.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
