< Exodus 15 >
1 To pacoengah Mosi hoi Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah hae laa hae a sak o; Angraeng mah lensawkhaih hoiah pazawk boeh pongah, anih khaeah laa to ka sak han; anih mah hrang hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk tui thungah vah boih boeh.
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
2 Agraeng loe ka thacakhaih hoi kai ih laa ah oh moe, kai pahlonghaih ah oh; anih loe ka Sithaw ah oh pongah, anih to ka pakoeh han; kam pa ih Sithaw ah oh pongah, ka pakoeh han.
The Lord gives me strength. He is the theme of my song. He saves me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is my father's God, and I will honor him.
3 Angraeng loe misatuh kami ah oh, anih ih ahmin loe Angraeng, tiah oh.
The Lord is like a warrior. His name is the Lord.
4 Anih mah Faro ih hrang leeng hoi misatuh kaminawk to tui thungah vah boih boeh; Faro mah kahoih koek qoih ih misatuh angraengnawk loe kathim tuipui thungah uem o boih boeh.
He threw Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. Pharaoh's best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
5 Kathuk tuili mah nihcae to khuk khoep, nihcae loe thlung baktiah tui thungah krak o tathuk boeh.
The flooding water covered them. They dropped down into the depths like a stone.
6 Aw Angraeng, thacak na bantang ban hoiah na misanawk to kadip pueng ah na hnoih.
Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy.
7 Na lensawk na thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng, nihcae to na palungphuihaih mah anghnoeng baktiah kangh boeh.
By your majestic power you destroyed those who opposed you. Your anger blazed out and burned them up like stubble.
8 Na hnahkhaw ih takhi hoiah tuinawk to nang cuusak; tuiphu to im tapang baktiah nang doetsak moe, kathuk tuipui um li ah tui to tha na caksak.
You blew and the sea piled up. The waves stood straight like a wall. The depths of the ocean turned solid.
9 Misanawk mah, nihcae kae hanah, ka patom o moe, lomh ih hmuennawk to kam zet o han, to naah loe ka koehhaih akoep tih boeh; ka sumsen to ka phongh moe, nihcae to ka ban hoiah ka hum han, tiah a thuih o.
The enemy bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I will destroy them.’
10 Toe nang hahhaih takhi hoiah na hmuh, nihcae loe tuipui mah khuk khoep; nihcae loe kalen parai tuinawk thungah, kimlok baktiah krak o zuep boeh.
But you blew with your breath and the sea swept over them. They sank down like lead in the swirling waters.
11 Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah mi maw nang baktiah kaom? Mi maw nang baktiah, lensawk ciimcaihaih, zit kathok pakoehhaih hoiah dawnrai hmuennawk to sah thaih?
Who is like you among the gods, Lord? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in wonder, doing miracles?
12 Na bantang ban na payangh naah, long mah nihcae to paaeh.
You acted, and the earth swallowed the Egyptians.
13 Kaboeng thai ai na palung nathaih hoiah na krang ih kaminawk to na zaeh; na thacakhaih hoiah na ohhaih hmuenciim to nihcae hanah na patuek.
You led the people you saved with your trustworthy love. You will guide them in your strength to your holy home.
14 Kaminawk mah thaih o naah, zii o tih; Philistin kaminawk loe tasoehhaih hoiah om o tih.
The nations will hear what has happened and will shake with fear. The people who live in Philistia will experience agonizing distress.
15 Edom ukkungnawk loe dawnrai o ueloe, Moab zaehoikungnawk doeh tasoeh o tih; Kanaan kaminawk loe palungboeng o tih.
The Edomite chiefs will be terrified. The Moabite leaders will tremble. The people living in Canaan will melt away in panic.
16 Zithaih hoi tasoehhaih to nihcae nuiah krah tih; Aw Angraeng, nangmah ih kaminawk to poeng o moe, na qan ih kaminawk poeng o pacoengah, kalensawk na ban thacakhaih rang hoiah nihcae to thlung baktiah angtawt ai ah nang hngaisak duem tih.
Terror and fright will fall on them. Lord, because of your great power, they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, until the people you bought pass by.
17 Aw Angraeng, qawk ah na toep ih mae, oh hanah na sak ih ahmuen thungah, nangmah ih kaminawk to na kun haih tih; Aw Angraeng, na ban hoi sak ih hmuenciim ah nihcae to na omsak tih.
You will take your people and plant them on the mountain that you own, the place that you, Lord, have prepared as your home, the sanctuary that your hands have built, Lord.
18 Angraeng mah dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to uk poe tih, tiah laa to a sak o.
The Lord will reign forever and ever!”
19 Faro ih hrangnawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk loe, tuipui thungah caeh o pacoengah, Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah tuipui to amlaemsak let; toe Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah saoeng baktiah caeh o.
When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water rushing back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
20 To naah Aaron ih tanuh, tahmaa nongpata Miriam mah, cingceng to ban ah sin moe, nongpatanawk boih anih hnuk ah cingceng bohhaih hoiah hnawh o.
Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, picked up a tambourine, and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.
21 Miriam mah, Angraeng khaeah laa to sah oh; anih mah lensawkhaih hoiah pazawk boeh; hrang hoi a nuiah angthueng kaminawk to tuipui thungah a vah boih boeh, tiah laa to sak.
Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
22 Mosi mah Israel kaminawk tuipui kathim hoiah zaeh moe, Shur praezaek ah a caeh haih; ni thumto thung tui om ai ah, praezaek ah a caeh o.
Then Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea and into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert but couldn't find any water.
23 Marah ahmuen to a phak o naah, tui loe khaa pongah, Marah ih tui to nae o thai ai; to pongah to ahmuen to Marah, tiah kawk o.
When they arrived at Marah, the water there was too bitter to drink. (That's why the place is called Marah.)
24 To pongah kaminawk mah Mosi khaeah, Timaw ka naek o han? tiah laisaep o thuih.
So the people complained to Moses, asking, “What are we going to drink?”
25 To naah Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah hangh, to naah Angraeng mah thing maeto a hnuksak; anih mah to thing to tui thungah vah naah, tui to luep; to ahmuen ah Anih mah nihcae to tanoek, a sak o zong ih hmuen hoi daan to a sak pae.
Moses called out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, it became sweet. There the Lord gave them rules and instructions and also tested their loyalty to him.
26 Nihcae khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok kahoih ah na tahngaih o, a mikhnuk ah katoeng hmuen to na sak o moe, ang paek o ih lok to na tahngaih o pacoengah, anih ih daannawk to na pazui o nahaeloe, Izip kaminawk nuiah ka phaksak ih nathaih to, nangcae nuiah ka phasak mak ai; Kai loe nangcae ngantuisakkung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
He told them, “If you pay attention to what the Lord your God says, do what is right in his sight, obey his commands, and keep all his regulations, then I will not make you suffer from any of the diseases I gave the Egyptians because I am the Lord who heals you.”
27 Nihcae loe tui khaw hathlai hnetto hoi ungsikung qui sarihto ohhaih, Elim ahmuen ah caeh o moe, tui taengah anghak o.
Then they traveled on to Elim, which had twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They set up camp there beside the water.
