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.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Sɛ wampene amma wɔn ankɔ a,
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold 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 LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Nanso Awurade de nsonoe bɛto Israelfo mmoa ne Misraimfo mmoa ntam. Israelfo mmoa de, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Awurade ahyɛ bere pɔtee na ɔkae se, Ɔkyena, Awurade bɛyɛ eyi wɔ asase no so.
The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall 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 did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
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.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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.
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfutuma ama mpɔmpɔnini abobɔ nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all 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.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up towards the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifo no antumi ne Mose anni asi, efisɛ na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 Nanso Farao pirim ne koma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to 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,
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “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 this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bekum mo nyinaa.
For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
16 Nanso manyɛ no saa, efisɛ na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi kyerɛ wo ne asase sofo nyinaa.
but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 Woayɛ kyenkyenee wɔ me nkurɔfo so a ɛno nti, womma wɔnkɔ.
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
18 Ɔkyena saa bere yi ara mu, mɛma mparuwbo a ano yɛ den a bi ntɔɔ Misraimman mu da atɔ.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even 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.”
Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 Misraimfo a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwi ne wɔn asomfo nyinaa baa fie.
Those who feared the LORD’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock 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.
Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Enti Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ wim maa Awurade maa anyinam ne aprannaa twitwae.
Moses stretched out his rod towards the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD 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.
So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been 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.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck 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, there was 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.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and 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 to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you 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.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may 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 as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31 Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn awi ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛresow aba no nyinaa.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 Nanso atoko ne aburow de, ansɛe, efisɛ na emfifii ɛ.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
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.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not 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.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Enti Farao amma nkurɔfo no ankɔ sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
