¹³Den our Papa tell Moses say, “Wake up early for morning, stand for Pharaoh front, and tell am say: ‘Na dis be wetin di Papa of di Hebrew people talk: “Make you let my people go make dem worship me. ¹⁴Dis time, I dey send all my plague come attack you, your officials, and your people, so dat you go know say person no dey like me for all di earth. ¹⁵By now, I for don raise my hand strike you and your people with plague, wey for wipe you comot from di earth. ¹⁶But I raise you up so dat I go show you my power, and make my name spread for all di earth. ^a a v16 Paul quote dis verse for Romans 9:17 — even as Pharaoh dey do stubborn, e still serve our Papa purpose to make im name known for all di earth. ¹⁷You still dey stand against my people, and you dey refuse make dem go. ¹⁸Tomorrow dis same time, I go make hail rain down wey go bad so tey nothing like am ever hit Egypt from di time dem start am till now. ¹⁹So now, send message: gather your animal and all wetin you get for di field make dem dey safe, because di hail go fall on top every person and animal wey remain for di field, wey dem no carry come inside, and dem go die.”’”

²⁰Di ones among Pharaoh officials wey fear di word of our Papa quick-quick carry dem servant and animal come inside house, ²¹but anybody wey no send di word of our Papa leave im servant and im animal for di field.

²²Den our Papa tell Moses say, “Stretch your hand toward di sky, and hail go fall on all Egypt—on people, animal, and every plant for di field, for all Egypt.”

²³Moses stretch im staff toward di sky, and our Papa send thunder and hail, and fire run come ground. Our Papa make hail rain on top di land of Egypt. ²⁴Hail dey fall, and fire dey flash non-stop inside di hail, e heavy so tey nothing like am ever happen for all di land of Egypt since di time e become nation. ²⁵For all Egypt, di hail strike everything wey dey for di field, both people and animal; e strike every plant of di field and break every tree of di field to pieces. ²⁶Na only for di land of Goshen, wia di people of Israel dey stay, hail no fall.

²⁷Pharaoh send for Moses and Aaron, e talk say, “Dis time, I don sin. God dey right; na me and my people dey wrong. ²⁸Beg your Papa—God thunder and hail don do, e don plenty pass. I go let you go; no stay again.”

²⁹Moses tell am say, “Once I comot from di city, I go spread my hand to our Papa. Di thunder go stop and hail go end, so dat you go know say di earth na our Papa own. ³⁰But as for you and your officials, I know say una still no dey fear our Papa.”

³¹(Di flax and barley don spoil, because barley don grow head and flax don dey flower. ³²But di wheat and di emmer wheat no spoil, because dem dey ripe later.). ³³Moses comot from Pharaoh, e go out from di city, and e spread im hand to our Papa. Di thunder and hail stop, and rain no pour on di land again. ³⁴When Pharaoh see say di rain, hail, and thunder don stop, e sin again, e make im heart hard—both am and im officials. ³⁵So Pharaoh heart hard; e refuse make Israel go, just as our Papa don talk through Moses.
