Eksodo 15
1 Ndipo Mose ndi Aisraeli anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi: “Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wakwezeka mʼchigonjetso. Kavalo ndi wokwera wake, Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi nyimbo yanga; ndiye chipulumutso changa. Iye ndiye Mulungu wanga, ndipo ndidzamutamanda, Mulungu wa makolo anga, ine ndidzamukweza.
The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he [is] become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 Yehova ndi wankhondo; Yehova ndilo dzina lake.
The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
4 Magaleta a Farao ndi asilikali ake ankhondo Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja. Akatswiri ankhondo amphamvu a Farao amizidwa mʼNyanja Yofiira.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 Nyanja yakuya inawaphimba; Iwo anamira pansi ngati mwala.”
The depths have covered them: they sunk to the bottom as a stone.
6 Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja ndi laulemerero chifukwa cha mphamvu zake. Ndithu Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja linaphwanya mdani.
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 Ndi ulemerero wanu waukulu, munagonjetsa okutsutsani. Inu munatumiza mkwiyo wanu waukulu; ndipo unawapsereza ngati udzu.
And in the greatness of thy excellence thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.
8 Ndi mpweya wotuluka mʼmphuno mwanu madzi anawunjikana pamodzi. Nyanja yakuya ija inasanduka madzi owuma gwaa kufika pansi.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were collected, the floods stood upright as a heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 Mdaniyo anati, “Ine ndidzawalondola, ndipo ndidzawagwira. Ndidzagawa chuma chawo; ndiye chokhumba changa chidzakwaniritsidwa. Ine ndidzasolola lupanga langa, ndi mkono wanga ndidzawawononga.”
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Koma Inu munawuzira mphepo yanu, ndipo nyanja inawaphimba. Iwo anamira ngati chitsulo mʼmadzi amphamvu.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Ndithu Yehova, pakati pa milungu, ndani afanana nanu? Inu amene muli woyera, ndiponso wotamandika wolemekezeka, chifukwa cha ntchito zanu, zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa?
Who [is] like to thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders!
12 Munatambasula dzanja lanu lamanja ndipo dziko linawameza.
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika mudzatsogolera anthu amene munawawombola. Ndi mphamvu zanu munawatsogolera ku malo anu woyera.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
14 Anthu amitundu ina anamva za mbiriyi ndipo ananjenjemera ndi mantha, mantha woopsa agwira anthu a dziko la Filisiti.
The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Tsopano mafumu a ku Edomu agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu, otsogolera a dziko la Mowabu akunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndipo anthu a ku Kanaani asungunuka ndi mantha.
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Onse agwidwa ndi mantha woopsa. Popeza anaona mphamvu zanu zazikulu, iwo ayima chilili ngati mwala mpaka anthu anu, Inu Yehova atadutsa; inde mpaka atadutsa anthu amene munawagula.
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thy arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.
17 Inu mudzawalowetsa ndi kuwakhazikitsa pa phiri lanu. Pa malo pamene Inu Yehova munawapanga kuti muzikhalapo; malo wopatulika amene Inu Ambuye munawakonza ndi manja anu.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee to dwell in; [in] the sanctuary, O LORD. [which] thy hands have established.
18 “Yehova adzalamula mpaka muyaya.”
The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19 Akavalo a Farao, magaleta ndi oyendetsa akavalo atalowa mʼnyanja, Yehova anawabwezera madziwo mʼnyanja ndi kuwamiza, koma Aisraeli anawoloka nyanjayo powuma.
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.
20 Ndipo Miriamu mneneri wamkazi, mlongo wa Aaroni anatenga zoyimbira ndipo akazi onse anamutsatira pambuyo, akuyimba ndi zoyimbira ndi kuvina.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her, with timbrels, and with dances.
21 Miriamu anawayimbira nyimbo iyi: “Imbirani Yehova, chifukwa iye wapambana. Kavalo ndi wokwerapo wake Iye wawamiza mʼnyanja.”
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22 Ndipo Mose anatsogolera Israeli kuchoka ku nyanja yofiira ndi kupita ku chipululu cha Suri. Anayenda mʼchipululu masiku atatu wosapeza madzi.
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 Ndipo anafika ku Mara. Koma sanathe kumwa madzi akumeneko chifukwa anali owawa. (Ndi chifukwa chake malowo amatchedwa Mara).
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah; for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 Tsono anthu aja anadandaulira Mose ndi kumufunsa kuti, “Kodi tikumwa chiyani?”
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 Ndipo Mose anapemphera kwa Yehova, ndipo Yehova anamuonetsa kamtengo. Iye anakaponya mʼmadzimo ndipo madzi anakhala abwino. Kumeneko Yehova anawayikira lamulo ndi maweruziro. Kumenekonso Yehova anawayesa.
And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, [which] he cast into the waters, [and] the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 Yehova anati, “Ngati inu mudzamvetsa bwino mawu anga, kuchita zolungama, kumvera malamulo anga ndi kusamalitsa zimene ndikukuwuzani ndiye kuti Ine sindidzayika pa inu matenda amene ndinayika pa anthu a ku Igupto popeza ndine Yehova amene ndimakuchiritsani.”
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes; I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.
27 Kenaka anafika ku Elimu, kumene kunali akasupe khumi ndi awiri ndi mitengo ya migwalangwa makumi asanu ndi awiri, ndipo anamanga misasa yawo kumeneko pafupi ndi madzi.
And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
