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/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; 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.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
3 Angraeng loe misatuh kami ah oh, anih ih ahmin loe Angraeng, tiah oh.
Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
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 has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
5 Kathuk tuili mah nihcae to khuk khoep, nihcae loe thlung baktiah tui thungah krak o tathuk boeh.
The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Aw Angraeng, thacak na bantang ban hoiah na misanawk to kadip pueng ah na hnoih.
O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
7 Na lensawk na thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng, nihcae to na palungphuihaih mah anghnoeng baktiah kangh boeh.
You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
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 on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
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.
[Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
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 on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
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?
Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
12 Na bantang ban na payangh naah, long mah nihcae to paaeh.
When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
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 faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
14 Kaminawk mah thaih o naah, zii o tih; Philistin kaminawk loe tasoehhaih hoiah om o tih.
The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
15 Edom ukkungnawk loe dawnrai o ueloe, Moab zaehoikungnawk doeh tasoeh o tih; Kanaan kaminawk loe palungboeng o tih.
The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
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.
They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
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.
to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
18 Angraeng mah dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to uk poe tih, tiah laa to a sak o.
O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
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.
The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
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.
Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
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.
and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. 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/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not 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.
So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
24 To pongah kaminawk mah Mosi khaeah, Timaw ka naek o han? tiah laisaep o thuih.
The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “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.
So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey 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.
by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one 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.
[After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
