< 2 Mose 11 >

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mɛma ɔhaw a ɛtwa toɔ aba Farao ne nʼasase so. Na ɛno akyiri no, ɔbɛma mo akɔ. Nokorɛm, ne ho bɛpere no sɛ mobɛfiri ne ho ama ɔno ara apamo mo afiri ɔman no mu.
The LORD said to Moses, “I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2 Monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa sɛ, wɔmmisa wɔn amannifoɔ Misraimfoɔ no na wɔmma wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ adwinneɛ.”
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.”
3 Awurade maa Misraimfoɔ no hunuu Israelfoɔ no mmɔbɔ, na Mose nso yɛɛ onipa kɛseɛ a na Farao mpanimfoɔ ne Misraimfoɔ no bu no yie wɔ ɔman no mu.
The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 Mose bɔɔ Farao amaneɛ sɛ, “Awurade se menka nkyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Anadwo nnɔndumienu mɛtwam wɔ Misraim asase so.
Moses said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt,
5 Na Misraim fie biara mu ɔbabarima panin bɛwu. Ɛfiri Farao babarima panin so, ne dehyeɛ a ɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ, ne ɔsomfoɔ mu ɔsomfoɔ kumaa koraa ba panin ne ne nyɛmmoa abakan nyinaa bɛwuwu.
and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of livestock.
6 Na owuo no ho agyaadwotwa bɛduru Misraim asase so nyinaa. Awerɛhoɔ a ɛte saa mmaa Misraim asase so da, na ebi nso remma da bio.
There will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor will be any more.
7 Na Israelfoɔ mu deɛ, biribiara bɛyɛ dwoodwoo na ɔkraman mpo rempɔ.’ Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ ato Misraimfoɔ ne Israelfoɔ ntam!
But against any of the children of Israel a dog will not even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal, that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 Wo mpanimfoɔ yi nyinaa bɛtu mmirika, adi mʼakyiri, akoto asrɛ sɛ, ‘Yɛpa wo kyɛw, firi ha ntɛm na kɔfa wo nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa ka wo ho kɔ.’ Sɛ ɛba saa a ansa na mɛkɔ!” Mose wiee kasa no, ɔde abufuhyeɛ firii ahemfie hɔ kɔeɛ.
All these servants of yours will come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, “Get out, with all the people who follow you;” and after that I will go out.’” He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
9 Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose sɛ, “Asɛm a wobɛka no, Farao rentie. Na ɛno so na mɛgyina ayɛ anwanwadeɛ de ada me tumi adi.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Ɛwom sɛ Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ saa anwanwadeɛ no nyinaa wɔ Farao anim nanso Awurade pirim nʼakoma sɛdeɛ ɔremma nnipa no mfiri asase no so nkɔ.
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
