1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kɔ Farao hɔ bio na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade se, Ma me nkurɔfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔnkɔsom me.
And he said Yahweh to Moses go to Pharaoh and you will say to him thus he says Yahweh let go people my so they may serve me.
2 Sɛ woampene so amma wɔankɔ a, mɛma mpɔtorɔ abɛhyɛ asase no so ma.
And if [are] refusing you to let [them] go here! I [am] about to strike all territory your with frogs.
3 Wɔbɛyɛ Asubɔnten Nil ma, na wɔabɛhyɛ mo afie ma ma, na wɔakɔ mo mpia mu, na afoforɔ akɔ mo mpa so.
And it will swarm the River frogs and they will go up and they will go in house your and in [the] chamber of lying down your and on bed your and in [the] house of servants your and on people your and in ovens your and in kneading troughs your.
4 Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛ efie biara a ɛwɔ Misraim no mu ma. Wɔbɛhyɛ mo fononoo ne deɛ mode fɔtɔ asikyiresiam gu mu nyinaa ma ma. Na mpɔtorɔ no bɛbu afa mo so.’”
And on you and on people your and on all servants your they will go up the frogs.
5 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa poma no nkyerɛ nsubɔntene, nsuwa ne atadeɛ a ɛwɔ Misraim nyinaa so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mpɔtorɔ bɛbu so wɔ ɔman no afanan nyinaa.”
And he said Yahweh to Moses say to Aaron stretch out hand your with staff your over the rivers over the canals and over the ponds and bring up the frogs on [the] land of Egypt.
6 Aaron yɛɛ saa maa mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa ma tɔ.
And he stretched out Aaron hand his over [the] waters of Egypt and it went up the frog[s] and it covered [the] land of Egypt.
7 Nanso, nkonyaayifoɔ no nso yɛɛ saa ara maa mpɔtorɔ baa asase no so.
And they did thus the magicians by enchantments their and they brought up the frogs on [the] land of Egypt.
8 Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsrɛ Awurade na ɔnyi mpɔtorɔ no mfiri asase yi so, na mɛma mo nkurɔfoɔ no ɛkwan na wɔakɔbɔ no afɔdeɛ.”
And he summoned Pharaoh Moses and Aaron and he said pray to Yahweh so may he remove the frogs from me and from people my and I will let go the people so they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
9 Mose nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kyerɛ me ɛberɛ ko a wopɛ sɛ wɔkɔ. Me nso mɛbɔ ho mpaeɛ ama mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa awuwu wɔ baabiara wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛhyɛ me no mu, na aka asubɔnten no mu mpɔtorɔ no nko ara.”
And he said Moses to Pharaoh honor yourself over me to when? - will I pray for you and for servants your and for people your to cut off the frogs from you and from houses your only in the River they will remain.
10 Farao kaa sɛ, “Monyɛ no ɔkyena nko ara.” Mose buaa sɛ, “Mate, ɛbɛba mu sɛdeɛ woaka no na ama woahunu sɛ obiara nni hɔ sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, no nko ara.
And he said to tomorrow and he said according to word your so that you may know that there not [is] like Yahweh God our.
11 Mpɔtorɔ no nyinaa bɛwuwu ama aka wɔn a wɔwɔ asubɔnten no mu no.”
And they will depart the frogs from you and from houses your and from servants your and from people your only in the River they will remain.
12 Mose ne Aaron firii Farao anim kɔeɛ. Mose kɔsrɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔnyi mponkyerɛne a ɔde wɔn abɛgu Farao so no.
And he went out Moses and Aaron from with Pharaoh and he cried out Moses to Yahweh on [the] matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.
13 Awurade tiee Mose nkotosrɛ no. Mponkyerɛne wuwu hyɛɛ ɔman no mu ne afie mu ma tɔ.
And he did Yahweh according to [the] word of Moses and they died the frogs from the houses from the villages and from the fields.
14 Wɔboaboaa mponkyerɛne a wɔawuwuo no ano akuo akɛseakɛseɛ maa ɔman no mu bɔn yie.
And people piled up them heaps heaps and it stank the land.
15 Nanso, Farao hunuu sɛ mponkyerɛne no kɔ no, ɔsane pirim nʼakoma bio enti wamma nnipa no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
And he saw Pharaoh that it had come the respite and he made heavy heart his and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.
16 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron na ɔmfa ne poma no mmɔ mfuturo na ɛbɛdane ntontom ahyɛ Misraim asase no so ma tɔ.”
And he said Yahweh to Moses say to Aaron stretch out staff your and strike [the] dust of the earth and it will become gnats in all [the] land of Egypt.
17 Enti, Mose ne Aaron yɛɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ wɔn no maa ntontom bɛhyɛɛ ɔman mu no ne mu nnipa ne wɔn nyɛmmoa so ma tɔ.
And they did so and he stretched out Aaron hand his with staff his and he struck [the] dust of the ground and it was the gnat[s] on humankind and on the livestock all [the] dust of the ground it was gnats in all [the] land of Egypt.
18 Nkonyaayifoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nso de wɔn nyankomadeɛ yɛ saa ara, nanso wɔantumi.
And they did thus the magicians by enchantments their to bring forth the gnats and not they were able and it was the gnat[s] on humankind and on the livestock.
19 Nkonyaayifoɔ no kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Yei deɛ, Onyankopɔn nsa wɔ mu.” Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma enti wantie wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
And they said the magicians to Pharaoh [is] [the] finger of God it and it was strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.
20 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɔre anɔpatutuutu kɔhyia Farao na sɛ ɔrebɛdware asubɔnten no mu a, woaka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade se: Ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔsom me.
And he said Yahweh to Moses rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh there! [he is] going out the water towards and you will say to him thus he says Yahweh let go people my so they may serve me.
21 Na sɛ wantie a, mɛma nwansena agye Misraim afa. Mo afie mu ne asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ nwansena manyamanya.
That except not you [are] letting go people my here I [am] about to send on you and on servants your and on people your and on houses your the swarm and they will be full [the] houses of Egypt the swarm and also the ground which they [are] on it.
22 “‘Na nsonsonoeɛ kɛseɛ bɛda ɛha ne Gosen asase a Israelfoɔ no te so no ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, nwansena biara renkɔ hɔ. Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ, me Awurade mewɔ tumi wɔ Misraim asase yi so.
And I will separate on the day that [the] land of Goshen which people my [is] standing on it to not to be there a swarm so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh in [the] midst of the land.

And he summoned Pharaoh Moses and Aaron and he said go sacrifice to God your in the land.
26 Nanso Mose kaa sɛ, “Saa deɛ, ɛrenyɛ yie. Yɛn afɔdeɛ a yɛbɔ ma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn no yɛ Misraimfoɔ akyiwadeɛ, enti sɛ yɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no wɔ ha a, wɔbɛkum yɛn.
