2 Mose 6
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wobɛhunu deɛ mede bɛyɛ Farao. Menam me tumi so bɛhyɛ no na wama me nkurɔfoɔ no akɔ. Nokorɛm, mɛhyɛ no ama wapam wɔn afiri asase no so.”
But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
2 Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mene Awurade no.
God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.
3 Meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ. Nanso, mammɔ me din sɛ Awurade no ankyerɛ wɔn.
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.
4 Na me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ apam sɛ mede Kanaan asase a na tete no wɔte so sɛ ahɔhoɔ no bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ.
I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.
5 Afei, mate Israelfoɔ apinisie ne nya a Misraimfoɔ di wɔn no nyinaa na makae me ne wɔn apam no.
Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.
6 “Enti, ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ de ayi wɔn afiri nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.
Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
7 Mɛgye wɔn atom sɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn. Na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afiri Misraimfoɔ nsam no.
I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
8 Mede wɔn bɛba asase a mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ mede bɛma Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no so. Saa asase no bɛyɛ mo agyapadeɛ. Mene Awurade no.’”
And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”
9 Enti, Mose kaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no, nanso wɔantie, ɛsiane abasamutuo a ɛfiri ɔhyɛ ntrasoɔ enti.
Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.
10 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
So the LORD said to Moses,
11 “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ.”
“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”
12 Nanso, Mose kaa sɛ, “Dabi, afei deɛ, me ara me nkurɔfoɔ no rentie asɛm a mɛka biara bio. Na mʼano nso nteeɛ yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi akasa ama atɔ Farao asom?”
But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”
13 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnsane nkɔ Israelfoɔ no ne Farao a ɔyɛ Misraimfoɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔmfiri Misraim asase so nkɔ.
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

26 Saa Aaron ne Mose yi ara na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔyi Israelfoɔ nyinaa mfiri Misraim asase so” no.
It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”
27 Na wɔn na wɔkɔɔ Farao hɔ kɔsrɛɛ no ɛkwan sɛ ɔmma wɔnni Israelfoɔ no anim nyi wɔn mfiri asase no so.

Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,
29 ɔkaa sɛ, “Mene Awurade no. Ka asɛm biara a mereka yi kyerɛ Farao a ɔyɛ Misraim ɔhempɔn no.”
He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
