< 2 Mose 1 >

1 Yakob mma ne wɔn abusuafo a wɔne no tu kɔtenaa no din na edidi so yi.
Pea ko e ngaahi hingoa eni ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe haʻu ki ʻIsipite; ʻae tangata kotoa pē mo ʻene kau nofoʻanga naʻe haʻu mo Sēkope.
2 Ruben, Simeon, Lewi ne Yuda;
Ko Lupeni mo Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta,
3 Isakar, Sebulon ne Benyamin;
Mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Penisimani,
4 Dan, Naftali; Gad ne Aser.
Mo Tani, mo Nafitali, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli.
5 Yakob asefo a ɔne wɔn kɔe no nyinaa ano si aduɔson. Na Yosef wɔ Misraim dedaw.
Pea ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻia Sēkope, ko e laumālie ʻe toko fitungofulu: he naʻe ʻi ʻIsipite ʻa Siosefa.
6 Yosef ne ne nuanom ne wɔn bere sofo no nyinaa wuwui,
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosefa, mo hono kāinga kotoa pē, mo e toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia.
7 nanso Israelfo no ase fɛee, na wɔyɛɛ bebree, hyɛɛ asase no so ma.
Pea naʻe fanafanau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tupu pe ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, ʻonau hoko ʻo mālohi ʻaupito: pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻiate kinautolu.
8 Na ɔhene foforo bi bedii ade wɔ Misraim a na onnim Yosef ho asɛm.
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae tuʻi foʻou ke pule ki ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻa Siosefa.
9 Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne manfo no se, “Monhwɛ, Israelfo yi ase adɔ, wɔreyɛ adɔɔso dodo ama yɛn.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Vakai, ko e kakai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku tokolahi hake, pea ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kitautolu:
10 Momma yɛmpɛ ɔkwan bi na yɛmfa so nsiw saa dɔ a wɔredɔ no ano. Sɛ yɛanyɛ saa na ɔko bi si a, wɔbɛdɔm yɛn atamfo ne wɔn ako atia yɛn na wɔafi ɔman yi mu.”
Ko eni, ke tau fai fakapotopoto kiate kinautolu; telia naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hoko ha tau, tenau kau mo hotau fili, ʻo tauʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe hiki ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.”
11 Enti wɔde nkoa sohwɛfo gyinagyinaa wɔn kɔn so ma wɔyɛɛ adwumaden de kyekyeree adekora nkuropɔn Pitom ne Rameses maa Farao.
Ko ia naʻa nau fakanofo ai ʻae kau enginaki ngāue ke fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kavenga. Pea naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae kolo tukungakoloa ʻe ua moʻo Felo; ko Pitomi, mo Lamisisi.
12 Nanso mpɛn dodow a Misraimfo no hyɛɛ wɔn so no, na dɔ ara na Israelfo no redɔɔso. Eyi maa Misraimfo no suroo Israelfo
Ka neongo ʻae ʻāsili fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tupu pe ʻo fuʻu tokolahi hake. Pea naʻe mamahi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
13 na wɔkɔɔ so hyɛɛ Israelfo no so ketee.
Pea naʻe houtonga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite.
14 Wɔde adwumadenyɛ dii Israelfo no nya. Wɔma wɔyɛɛ ntayaa ne dɔte ho adwuma a ɛyɛ den ne mfum nnwuma ahorow. Eyinom nyinaa akyi no Misraimfo faa akwan bebree so daa atirimɔden adi kyerɛɛ Israelfo no.
‌ʻO nau fakamamahiʻi ʻenau moʻui ʻi he [ngāue ]pōpula ki he kelepulu, mo e makaʻumea, mo e ngāue kehekehe ʻi he ngoue: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau pule kenau fai, naʻe fakamamahi.
15 Misraimhene ka kyerɛɛ Hebrifo awogyefo a wɔn din ne Sifra ne Pua se,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he kau māʻuli ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sifila, mo e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Piua:
16 “Sɛ mukogye Hebrini biara awo, na awoe hɔ muhu sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbabarima a, munkum no, na sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbabea de a, monnyɛ no hwee.”
‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOka mo ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻuli ki he kau fefine Hepelū, ʻo mamata ki heʻenau fāʻele; kapau ko e tama tangata, te mo tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau ko e taʻahine, pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
17 Esiane sɛ na awogyefo no yɛ nyamesurofo no nti, wɔanni mmara a ɔhene no hyɛɛ wɔn no so, maa mmarimaa a wɔwowoo wɔn no tenae.
Ka naʻe manavahē ʻae ongo māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinaua, ka naʻa na fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata.
18 Ɔhene no frɛɛ wɔn bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moanni mmara a mehyɛe no so na moama mmarimaa a Hebrifo no wowoo wɔn no atena?”
Pea fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke haʻu ʻae ongo māʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā kuo mo fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kuo mo fakamoʻui ʻae fānau tangata?”
19 Wobuaa no se, “Hebrifo mmea no de ahoɔden wo ɔhare so nti yebedu hɔ no, na wɔawo dedaw. Wɔnte sɛ Misraimfo mmea no.”
Pea talaange ʻe he ongo māʻuli kia Felo, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tatau ʻae kau fefine Hepelū mo e kau fefine ʻIsipite; he ʻoku nau mālohi, pea ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko atu ʻae kau māʻuli kiate kinautolu.”
20 Onyankopɔn hyiraa awogyefo no. Na Israelfo no dɔɔso ara bɛyɛɛ ɔman kɛse.
Ko ia naʻe fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ongo māʻuli: pea naʻe tupu pe ʻae kakai, ʻo fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi lahi.
21 Esiane sɛ na awogyefo no yɛ nyamesurofo nti, Onyankopɔn dom wɔn mma.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻae kau māʻuli ki he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu ai hona fale.
22 Na Farao hyɛɛ mmara sɛ Hebrifo mmarimaa a wɔbɛwo wɔn foforo no, wɔntow wɔn ngu Asubɔnten Nil mu na mmeawa a wɔbɛwo wɔn foforo no de, wɔntena hɔ.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ki hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fāʻeleʻi te mou lī ia ki he vaitafe, pea ko e fānau fefine kotoa pē te mou fakamoʻui.”
