Exodus 6
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from 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 spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:
Mawu gagblɔ na Mose be, “Nyee nye Yehowa.
3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;
Meɖe ɖokuinye fia Abraham, Isak kple Yakob abe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ene, ke nye ŋkɔ, Yehowa la, nyemeyɔe na wo o.
4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.
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 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.
“Gawu la, mese Israelviwo ƒe konyifafa esi wonye kluviwo fifia le Egipte. Meɖo ŋku nye nubabla la dzi.
6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;
“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 will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:
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 as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.
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 spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.
Mose gblɔ nya siawo na Israelviwo, ke womeɖo toe o, le woƒe dziɖeleameƒo kple ŋutasesẽ kple kluvimenɔnɔ ta.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
Yehowa gaƒo nu na Mose, gblɔ nɛ bena,
11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go 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 spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.
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 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons 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.
14 These, are the heads of their ancestral house: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of, Reuben.
Ame siwo nye ƒometatɔ na Israel ƒe to vovovoawoe nye: Ruben, Israel ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ ƒe viwo: Hanok, Palu, Hezron, Karmi. Esiawoe nye Reuben ƒe towo.
15 And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.
Simeon ƒe viwoe nye: Yemuel, Yamin, Ohad, Yakin, Zohar, Saul, ame si dada nye Kanaan nyɔnu. Esiawoe nye Simeon ƒe towo.
16 And, these, are the names of the sons of Levi by their generations, Gershon, and Kohath and Merari, And, the years of the life of Levi, were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
Ame siwo nye ƒometatɔ na Levi ƒe ƒome la ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye esiawo le woƒe tsitsi nu. Gerson, Kohat kple Merari. Levi nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre.
17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei by their families.

Merari ƒe viwo: Mahli kple Musi. Ame siwo ŋkɔ woyɔ va yi la tso Levi ƒe ƒome me, eye woɖo wo ɖe tsitsi nu.
20 So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him—Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.
Amram ɖe Yoxebed, fofoa nɔvinyɔnu; wo viwoe nye Mose kple Aron. Amram nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre.
21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.

22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, —and she bare to him—Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aron ɖe Eliseba, Aminadab ƒe vinyɔnu kple Nahson nɔvinyɔnu. Wo viwoe nye, Nadab, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar.
24 And the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.
Korah ƒe viwoe nye: Asir, Elkana kple Abiasaf. Ame siawoe wɔ ƒome siwo tso Korah ƒe hlɔ̃ me.
25 And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.
Aron ƒe viŋutsu, Eleaza, ɖe Pituel ƒe vinyɔnuwo dometɔ ɖeka, eye Finehas nye viawo dometɔ ɖeka. Esiawoe nye Levitɔwo ƒe ƒomewo ƒe tatɔwo ƒe ŋkɔwo katã kple ƒome siwo nɔ hlɔ̃awo me.
26 The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:
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 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.
Woawoe yi Egipte fia Farao gbɔ be yewoabia mɔ hena Israelviwo kpɔkplɔ dzoe le Egiptenyigba la dzi, wonye Mose kple Aron.
28 Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.
Azɔ esi Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Egipte la,
29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto 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 Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Ke Mose gblɔ na Yehowa be, “Aleke Farao aɖo tom esi nyemenya nuƒoƒo o?”
