Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Azɔ la, àkpɔ nu si mawɔ Farao. Le nye alɔ sesẽ la ta, anya wo ado goe, eye le nye asi sesẽ la ta, ado mɔ wo.”

2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.

Mawu gagblɔ na Mose be, “Nyee nye Yehowa.

3 And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

Meɖe ɖokuinye fia Abraham, Isak kple Yakob abe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ene, ke nye ŋkɔ, Yehowa la, nyemeyɔe na wo o.

4 And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers.

Mewɔ nubabla tɔxɛ aɖe kpli wo. Le nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo nu la, medo ŋugbe be matsɔ Kanaanyigba, afi si wonɔ abe amedzrowo ene la na wo.

5 And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

“Gawu la, mese Israelviwo ƒe konyifafa esi wonye kluviwo fifia le Egipte. Meɖo ŋku nye nubabla la dzi.

6 Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.

“Eya ta gblɔ na Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo be, ‘Nyee nye Yehowa, maɖe mi le Egiptetɔwo ƒe kɔkuti te, mana ablɔɖe mi tso kluvinyenye na wo me, eye maɖe mi kple alɔ sesẽ kple nukunu triakɔwo.

7 And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.

Maxɔ mi abe nye amewo ene, manye miaƒe Mawu, mianyae be nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo ƒe asi me,

8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.

eye makplɔ mi ayi anyigba si mekɔ asi dzi ka atam be matsɔ na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi. Matsɔe na mi wòazu mia tɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa.’”

9 And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

Mose gblɔ nya siawo na Israelviwo, ke womeɖo toe o, le woƒe dziɖeleameƒo kple ŋutasesẽ kple kluvimenɔnɔ ta.

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Yehowa gaƒo nu na Mose, gblɔ nɛ bena,

11 Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.

“Gayi Farao, Egipte fia gbɔ eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ele be wòaɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu woadzo le eƒe anyigba dzi.”

12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent.

Ke Mose ɖe ɖeklemi Yehowa hegblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, ne Israelviwo maɖo tom o la, aleke Farao ya aɖo tom, elabena nyemenye nuƒola nyui hã o.”

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Tete Yehowa ɖe gbe na Mose kple Aron tso Israelviwo kple Farao, Egipte fia ŋu gblɔ na wo be woakplɔ Israelviwo ado goe tso Egipte.

26 This is Aaron and Moses, whom God told to bring out the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with their forces.

Aron kple Mose, siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo woyɔ ɖe dzidzimegbalẽ sia me la nye: Aron kple Mose, ame siwo Yehowa gblɔ na be, “Mikplɔ Israelviwo katã dzoe le Egiptenyigba dzi.”

27 These are they that spoke with Pharao king of Egypt, and Aaron himself and Moses brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,

Woawoe yi Egipte fia Farao gbɔ be yewoabia mɔ hena Israelviwo kpɔkplɔ dzoe le Egiptenyigba la dzi, wonye Mose kple Aron.

28 in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt;

Azɔ esi Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Egipte la,

29 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatsoever I say to thee.

egblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa. Gblɔ nya sia nya si megblɔ na wò la na Egipte fia Farao.”

30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao hearken to me?

Ke Mose gblɔ na Yehowa be, “Aleke Farao aɖo tom esi nyemenya nuƒoƒo o?”
