2 Mose 9
1 Awurade hyɛɛ Mose se, “San kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛnea Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifo Nyankopɔn no se ni,’ Ma me nkurɔfo no nkɔ na wɔatumi abɔ afɔre ama me.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Sɛ wampene amma wɔn ankɔ a,
For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
3 Onyankopɔn nsa de ɔyaredɔm bɛba abekum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfurum, mo yoma, mo anantwi, mo nguan ne mo mmirekyi nyinaa.
behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
4 Nanso Awurade de nsonoe bɛto Israelfo mmoa ne Misraimfo mmoa ntam. Israelfo mmoa de, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
5 Awurade ahyɛ bere pɔtee na ɔkae se, Ɔkyena, Awurade bɛyɛ eyi wɔ asase no so.
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.
6 Na ade kyee no, nyɛmmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim no wuwui, nanso Israelfo no ayɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu.
And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 Farao somaa nnipa kɔɔ Israel kɔhwɛɛ sɛ ampa ara ɛhɔ nyɛmmoa no bi anwu koraa ana. Nnipa no bɛbɔɔ Farao amanneɛ se Israelfo nyɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu, nanso nʼadwene ansesa. Wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Enti Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Monkɔsaw nso mfi fononoo mu, na Mose ntow mpete wim wɔ Farao anim.
And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
9 Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfutuma ama mpɔmpɔnini abobɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.
10 Enti wɔkɔsaw nso fii fononoo mu de kɔɔ Farao anim, na ɔrehwɛ no, Mose tow petee wim na ɛdan mpɔmpɔnini bobɔɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
11 Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifo no antumi ne Mose anni asi, efisɛ na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 Nanso Farao pirim ne koma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sɔre kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpahema na kɔka kyerɛ no se, Hebrifo Awurade Nyankopɔn no se, Ma me nkurɔfo nkɔsom me,
And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 anyɛ saa a, mede ɔhaw na ɛbɛto mo so na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo ne wʼadwumayɛfo ne Misraimfo nyinaa ahu sɛ Onyankopɔn biara nni asase yi so ka me ho.
For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bekum mo nyinaa.
For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16 Nanso manyɛ no saa, efisɛ na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi kyerɛ wo ne asase sofo nyinaa.
And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
17 Woayɛ kyenkyenee wɔ me nkurɔfo so a ɛno nti, womma wɔnkɔ.
Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18 Ɔkyena saa bere yi ara mu, mɛma mparuwbo a ano yɛ den a bi ntɔɔ Misraimman mu da atɔ.
Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
19 Ntɛm! Monka mo anantwi a mode wɔn kɔ adidi no mmra fie. Efisɛ mparuwbo no bekum nnipa ne mmoa a wɔbɛka wuram no nyinaa.”
And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
20 Misraimfo a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwi ne wɔn asomfo nyinaa baa fie.
He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkae no gyaw wɔn anantwi ne wɔn asomfo wɔ wuram maa mparuwbo no kaa wɔn.
But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
22 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Teɛ wo nsa kyerɛ soro na ma mparuwbo no ntɔ ngu nnipa, mmoa ne nnua a ɛwɔ Misraim nyinaa so.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
23 Enti Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ wim maa Awurade maa anyinam ne aprannaa twitwae.
And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Na ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ hu yiye. Efisɛ efi Misraim abɔse de kosi saa bere no, na aprannaa mmobɔɔ saa da.
And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Misraimman sɛee pasaa. Biribiara a ɛkaa wuram, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa no, wɔn nyinaa wuwui. Nnua nso bubu maa nnɔbae sɛesɛee.
And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Faako a mparuwbo no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfo no te hɔ no.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 Afei, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Afei de, mahu me mfomso. Awurade di bem na me ne me nkurɔfo ayɛ bɔne ama atra so.
And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
28 Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne mparuwbo dodow yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!
29 Mose kae se, “Sɛ mifi kuropɔn yi mu ara pɛ a, mɛma me nsa so abɔ Awurade mpae na aprannaa no ne mparuwbo no agyae. Eyi bɛma mo ahu sɛ Awurade na asase nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 Nanso minim yiye sɛ wo ne wo mpanyimfo de, eyinom nyinaa akyi no, mubepirim mo koma.”
But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
31 Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn awi ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛresow aba no nyinaa.
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 Nanso atoko ne aburow de, ansɛe, efisɛ na emfifii ɛ.
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
33 Enti Mose fii Farao anim wɔ kurow no mu maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ Awurade maa aprannaa no ne mparuwbo no ne osu no gyaee tɔ.
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on the earth.
34 Farao ne ne mpanyimfo huu sɛ biribiara ayɛ yiye wɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ so pirim wɔn koma yɛɛ bɔne de buu bɔ a wɔhyɛɛ Awurade no so.
And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
35 Enti Farao amma nkurɔfo no ankɔ sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
