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 the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 Sɛ wampene amma wɔn ankɔ a,
But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
3 Onyankopɔn nsa de ɔyaredɔm bɛba abekum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfurum, mo yoma, mo anantwi, mo nguan ne mo mmirekyi nyinaa.
Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
4 Nanso Awurade de nsonoe bɛto Israelfo mmoa ne Misraimfo mmoa ntam. Israelfo mmoa de, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
5 Awurade ahyɛ bere pɔtee na ɔkae se, Ɔkyena, Awurade bɛyɛ eyi wɔ asase no so.
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord 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.
The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there 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 Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart 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 the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
9 Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfutuma ama mpɔmpɔnini abobɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole 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 out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
11 Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifo no antumi ne Mose anni asi, efisɛ na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Nanso Farao pirim ne koma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to 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 the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to 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 upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know 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 I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
16 Nanso manyɛ no saa, efisɛ na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi kyerɛ wo ne asase sofo nyinaa.
And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
17 Woayɛ kyenkyenee wɔ me nkurɔfo so a ɛno nti, womma wɔnkɔ.
Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou 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 I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
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.”
Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, 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 the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into 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 regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
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 the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, 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 forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon 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 the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
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 destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
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 Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
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 Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
28 Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne mparuwbo dodow yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here 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.
Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
30 Nanso minim yiye sɛ wo ne wo mpanyimfo de, eyinom nyinaa akyi no, mubepirim mo koma.”
But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
31 Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn awi ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛresow aba no nyinaa.
The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
32 Nanso atoko ne aburow de, ansɛe, efisɛ na emfifii ɛ.
But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
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 when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon 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 Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
35 Enti Farao amma nkurɔfo no ankɔ sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
