1 Ankyɛre biara na Mose ase, Midian ɔsɔfoɔ Yetro, tee anwanwadeɛ a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ne Mose, ne sɛdeɛ Awurade ayi wɔn afiri Misraim asase so no.
Yetro, si nye Mose to, ame si nye Midian nunɔla la, se nu tso nukunu siwo Mawu wɔ na eƒe dukɔ Israel kple Mose kple ale si Yehowa ɖe wo tso Egipte la ŋuti.
2 Mose de ne yere Sipora kɔeɛ no, nʼase Yetro gyee no
Esia ta Yetro kplɔ Mose srɔ̃ Zipora yi nɛ, elabena Mose ɖo srɔ̃a ɖe fofoa gbɔ.
3 a na ne mmammarima baanu ka ne ho. Mose too ne babarima a na ɔyɛ nʼabakan no edin Gersom a ɔkyerɛ aseɛ sɛ, “Mabɛyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ ananafoɔ asase so.”
Ekplɔ Mose ƒe viŋutsu eveawo hã yii. Via ŋutsuvi Gersom ƒe ŋkɔ gɔmee nye, “Amedzro,” elabena esi wodzii la, Mose gblɔ be, “Menɔ tsaglalã tsam le dzronyigba dzi.”
4 Na ne babarima a ɔtɔ so mmienu no nso, ɔtoo ne edin Elieser a ɔkyerɛ aseɛ sɛ “Mʼagyanom Onyankopɔn no yɛ me ɔboafoɔ. Ɔgyee me firii Farao akofena ano.”
Via ŋutsuvi evelia, Eliezer, ƒe ŋkɔ gɔmee nye, “Mawue nye nye xɔnametɔ,” elabena esi wodzii la, Mose gblɔ be, “Fofonyewo ƒe Mawue nye nye xɔnametɔ, eye wòɖem tso Farao ƒe yi nu.”
5 Yetro kɔsraa Mose. Ɔde Mose yere ne ne mmammarima baanu no kaa ne ho. Wɔduruiɛ no, na Mose ne nnipa no abɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔ no ho.
Yetro, Mose to kple Mose ƒe viŋutsuwo kple srɔ̃a wova Mose gbɔ le gbegbe, afi si woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖo, le Mawu ƒe to la gbɔ.
6 Wɔka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wʼase Yetro reba abɛsra wo. Wo yere ne wo mmammarima baanu no ka ne ho.”
Yetro dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Mose gbɔ be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Nye towò, Yetro kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsu eveawo míegbɔna gbɔwò.”
7 Mose sɔre kɔhyiaa nʼase. Ɔkotoo no anidie mu gyee no fɛ so. Wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛdeɛ wɔn apɔ mu te. Afei, wɔkɔɔ Mose ntomadan no mu kɔtoaa wɔn amanneɛdie so.
Mose yi ɖakpe toa, eye wòxɔe dzidzɔtɔe. Wobia wo nɔewo ƒe agbe ta, eye woyi ɖe Mose ƒe agbadɔ me hena nya aɖewo ŋu bubu.
8 Mose kaa nsɛm a asisie nyinaa kyerɛɛ nʼase no. Ɔkaa deɛ Awurade ayɛ atia Farao ne Misraimfoɔ a ɔnam so agye Israelfoɔ, ayi wɔn afiri Misraim, asane ayi wɔn afiri ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ mu no nso kyerɛɛ no.
Mose gblɔ nu siwo katã dzɔ kple nu siwo Yehowa wɔ Farao kple Egiptetɔwo, ale be yeate ŋu aɖe Israelviwo, nukpekeame siwo nɔ mɔ me na Israelviwo kple ale si Yehowa ɖe wo tso wo katã me la na toa.
9 Yetro tee deɛ Awurade ayɛ ama Israel, ne titire no, sɛdeɛ ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim no, nʼani gyee yie.
Yetro kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le nu sia nu si Yehowa wɔ na Israelviwo kple ale si wòkplɔ wo dzoe le Egipte la ŋuti.
10 Yetro kaa sɛ, “Nhyira nka Awurade sɛ wagye mo afiri Misraimfoɔ ne Farao nsam, na wagye ɔman Israel nso.
Yetro si nye Mose to la gblɔ be, “Mikafu Yehowa, elabena eɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo kple Farao ƒe asi me, eye wòɖe Israel.
11 Afei, mahunu sɛ Awurade yɛ kɛse sene onyame biara, ɛfiri sɛ, wagye ne nkurɔfoɔ afiri Misraimfoɔ ahantanfoɔ ne atirimuɔdenfoɔ nsam.”
Menya azɔ be Yehowa tri akɔ wu mawu bubu ɖe sia ɖe, elabena eɖe eƒe amewo tso Egiptetɔwo, ame siwo nye dadalawo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo la ƒe asi me.”
12 Yetro de ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ baeɛ na ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Onyankopɔn. Akyire no, Aaron ne Israel mpanimfoɔ no baa Yetro nkyɛn. Wɔn nyinaa too nsa dii afɔreduane no wɔ Awurade anim.
Yetro sa numevɔsa kple akpedavɔsawo na Mawu. Emegbe la, Aron kple Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiwo va do gbe na Yetro, eye wo katã woɖu vɔsalã la le Mawu ŋkume.
13 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Mose tenaa ase firii anɔpa kɔsii anwummerɛ tiee nsɛmpɔ a asisi wɔ nnipa no mu.
Esi ŋu ke la, Mose nɔ anyi abe ale si wòwɔna ɣe sia ɣi ene, tso ŋdi va se ɖe fiẽ be yeadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le ameawo dome.
14 Mose ase no hunuu brɛ a ɔrebrɛ nnipa no ho no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wo nko ara wodi dwuma kɛseɛ yi a enti nnipa gyina wo so saa ara firi anɔpa kɔsi anwummerɛ yi?”
Esi Mose to kpɔ ɣeyiɣi si ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ la xɔna nɛ la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Nu ka ta nèle agbagba dzem be ye ɖeka yeawɔ nu siawo katã, le esime amewo le tsitre le afi sia ŋkeke blibo la katã be nàkpe ɖe yewo ŋuti?”
15 Mose buaa sɛ, “Nnipa no de akasakasa bi a asisi wɔn ntam bɛtoo mʼanim sɛ memmisa Onyankopɔn akwankyerɛ.
Mose ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Elabena dukɔ la va gbɔnye be woabia Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
16 Sɛ akyinnyeɛ bi ba wɔn ntam a, wɔba ma mesiesie. Mekyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn mmara ne nʼapɛdeɛ.”
Ne nya dzɔ ɖe ameawo dome la, wotsɔnɛ vɛ nam, medrɔ̃nɛ na wo, eye megblɔa Mawu ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo na wo.”
17 Nʼase no kaa sɛ, “Deɛ woreyɛ no nyɛ.
Mose to, Yetro gblɔ nɛ be, “Nu si wɔm nèle la menyo o.
18 Worekum wo ho na sɛ wowu a, nnipa yi bɛyɛ dɛn? Mose, adwuma yi so dodo sɛ wo nko ara wobɛyɛ.

21 Na hwehwɛ nnipa bi a wɔyɛ nyamesurofoɔ na wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ a wɔmpɛ adanmudegyeɛ, na wɔn mu baako biara nyɛ nnipa apem so ɔtemmufoɔ.

“Di ame zazɛ̃ aɖewo, ame siwo vɔ̃a Mawu, ame siwo gblɔa nyateƒe eye wotsri zãnuxɔxɔ. Tia wo, eye nàɖo wo ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖe ameawo dzi. Ame aɖewo ɖe ame akpe nu, Ame aɖewo ɖe ame alafa nu, Ame aɖewo ɖe ame blaatɔ̃ nu eye Ame aɖewo ɖe ame ewo nu.
