9 Bere a Yetro tee nneɛma pa a Yehowa ayɛ ama Israel no nyinaa, ne gye a ogyee wɔn fii Egypt nsam no, n’ani gyei.
10 Ɛnna Yetro kae sɛ: “Ayeyi nka Yehowa; ɔno na wagye mo afi Egypt ne Farao nsam, na ɔno na wayi nkurɔfo no afi Egypt nkoasom mu.
11 Sɛ mehwɛ nea Yehowa de baa Egyptfo so bere a wɔredi Israelfo so ahantansɛm no a, ama mahu sɛ ɔso sen anyame a aka no nyinaa.”+
12 Afei Mose ase Yetro bɔɔ* ɔhyew afɔre ne afɔre foforo maa Onyankopɔn, na Aaron ne Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa ne Mose ase didii wɔ nokware Nyankopɔn no anim.
13 Ade kyee no, Mose tenaa ase sɛ ɔrebu atɛn sɛnea daa ɔyɛ no, na nkurɔfo no begyinaa Mose so fi anɔpa kosii anwummere.
14 Bere a Mose ase huu nea ɔreyɛ ma nkurɔfo no, obisae sɛ: “Dɛn na woreyɛ ɔman yi? Adɛn nti na wo nkutoo wote hɔ na nnipa yi nyinaa abegyina wo so fi anɔpa kosi anwummere?”
15 Ɛnna Mose ka kyerɛɛ n’ase sɛ: “Efisɛ nkurɔfo no ba me nkyɛn begye akwankyerɛ fi Onyankopɔn hɔ.
16 Sɛ asɛm bi si wɔ nnipa baanu ntam a, wɔde ba ma midi, na mema wohu nokware Nyankopɔn no adwene ne ne mmara.”+
17 Ɛnna Mose ase ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Nea woreyɛ no nye.
18 Woyɛ saa a, wo ne ɔman a wɔka wo ho yi nyinaa bɛbrɛ, efisɛ adwuma no boro wo so. Wo nkutoo rentumi nyɛ.
19 Afei tie me. Metu wo fo, na Onyankopɔn bedi w’akyi.+ Wo de, gyina ɔman no ananmu wɔ nokware Nyankopɔn no anim,+ na fa wɔn nsɛm bra nokware Nyankopɔn no anim.+
20 Kyerɛ wɔn ahyɛde ne mmara no,+ na ma wonhu ɔkwan a wɔmfa so ne adwuma a wɔnyɛ.

23 Sɛ woyɛ eyi, na Onyankopɔn pene so a, ɛnde woremmrɛ, na obiara de akomatɔyam bɛkɔ fie.”
24 Mose antwentwɛn ne nan ase koraa; otiee n’ase no, na ɔyɛɛ nea ɔka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa.
