2 Mose 7
1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mayi wo sɛ mʼananmusini wɔ Farao anim na Aaron ayɛ wo ɔkyeame.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Asɛm biara a mɛka akyerɛ wo no, ka kyerɛ Aaron, na ɔno nso nka nkyerɛ Farao sɛ ɔmma Israelfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔmfiri Misraim.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Na nna no mu, mɛma Farao ayɛ akomaden, na mayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree wɔ Misraim.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ no akyiri, ɔbɛkɔ so ayɛ akomaden ara, enti mɛtɔre wɔn ase na madi me manfoɔ anim, ayi wɔn afiri asase no so.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Na sɛ mekyerɛ me tumi kyerɛ Misraimfoɔ no a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ, nokorɛ, mene Awurade no, na wɔama me nkurɔfoɔ no ɛkwan ama wɔakɔ.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yhwh, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Enti, Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
And Moses and Aaron did as Yhwh commanded them, so did they.
7 Ɛberɛ a Mose ne Aaron kɔhyiaa Farao no, na Mose adi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe, ɛnna Aaron nso adi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe mmiɛnsa.
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 “Farao bɛhwehwɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ akyerɛ no ama wahunu sɛ, nokorɛ, Onyankopɔn na wasoma mo. Sɛ ɔbisa saa a, Aaron nto ne poma no ntwene fam na ɛbɛdane ɔwɔ.”
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 Enti, Mose ne Aaron kɔɔ Farao nkyɛn kɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ no sɛdeɛ Awurade akyerɛ wɔn no. Aaron too ne poma no twenee fam wɔ Farao ne ne nkurɔfoɔ anim ma ɛdanee ɔwɔ.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yhwh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafoɔ ne ne nkonyaayifoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ korɔ no ara bi.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 Wɔn nso, wɔn poma tumi danee ɔwɔ. Nanso, Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn deɛ no.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ akomaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔtie asɛm a Awurade kaeɛ no.
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as Yhwh had said.
14 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Farao apirim nʼakoma enti, ɔbɛkɔ so asi nnipa no ɛkwan sɛ ɔremma wɔnkɔ.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Nanso Awurade kaa sɛ: Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpa a ɔrekɔ asubɔnten no mu. Kɔgyina asuo no konkɔn so na hyia no wɔ hɔ a wo poma a ɛdanee ɔwɔ no kura wo.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade, Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn asane asoma me wo nkyɛn sɛ ma nnipa no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔ nkɔsom me wɔ ɛserɛ so. Woayɛ asoɔden.
And thou shalt say unto him, Yhwh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 Afei, Awurade se: Wobɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade no. Ɛfiri sɛ, maka akyerɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa ne poma no mmɔ Nil nsuo no mu na nsuo no bɛdane mogya.
Thus saith Yhwh, In this thou shalt know that I am Yhwh: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Nsuomnam a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu nyinaa bɛwuwu ama nsuo no abɔn a Misraimfoɔ no rentumi nnom.’”
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne poma no nkyerɛ nsuo a ɛwɔ Misraim no nyinaa; wɔn nsubɔntene, wɔn nsuwa, wɔn atadeɛ ne wɔn nsuo a ɛtaataa hɔ ne nsuo a ɛwɔ afie mu nyinaa so na ɛbɛdane mogya.”
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 Enti, Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no. Ɛberɛ a Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ gyinagyina hɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, Aaron de poma no bɔɔ Nil ani maa asubɔnten no danee mogya.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Yhwh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Nsuomnam a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa wuwuiɛ maa nsuo no bɔnee enti, na Misraimfoɔ no ntumi nnom. Misraim asase so nyinaa danee mogya.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Nkonyaayifoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim nso nam wɔn nkonyaayie so maa nsuo danee mogya enti, Farao kɔɔ so pirim nʼakoma a na ɔntie asɛm a Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no no.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yhwh had said.
23 Ɔsane kɔɔ nʼahemfie a hwee ampusu no.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 Misraimfoɔ no tutuu nsubura wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn so sɛdeɛ wɔbɛnya nsuo anom, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔntumi nsa nsuo wɔ asubɔnten no mu.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Asubɔnten a ɛdanee mogya no dii nnawɔtwe.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that Yhwh had smitten the river.
