2 Mose 7
1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Mayi wo sɛ mʼananmusini wɔ Farao anim na Aaron ayɛ wo ɔkyeame.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is 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 — thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
3 Na nna no mu, mɛma Farao ayɛ akomaden, na mayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree wɔ Misraim.
'And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied 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.
and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from 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 have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'
6 Enti, Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
And Moses doth — Aaron also — as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
7 Ɛberɛ a Mose ne Aaron kɔhyiaa Farao no, na Mose adi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe, ɛnna Aaron nso adi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe mmiɛnsa.
and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
8 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh — it becometh a monster.'
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 goeth in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.
11 Farao nso frɛɛ nʼanyansafoɔ ne ne nkonyaayifoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim ma wɔn nso bɛyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ korɔ no ara bi.
And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,
12 Wɔn nso, wɔn poma tumi danee ɔwɔ. Nanso, Aaron ɔwɔ no menee wɔn deɛ no.
and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;
13 Farao kɔɔ so yɛɛ akomaden a na ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔtie asɛm a Awurade kaeɛ no.
and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
14 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Farao apirim nʼakoma enti, ɔbɛkɔ so asi nnipa no ɛkwan sɛ ɔremma wɔnkɔ.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;
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.
go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy 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 hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
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 said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been 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 [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood — and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those 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 do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are 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 which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in 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 scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,
23 Ɔsane kɔɔ nʼahemfie a hwee ampusu no.
and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;
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 seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
25 Asubɔnten a ɛdanee mogya no dii nnawɔtwe.
And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,
