< Sunglatnah 14 >
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah mael uh saeh. Te dongah Pihahiroth dan kah Migdol laklo neh Baalzephon dan kah tuipuei laklo ah rhaeh uh saeh. Te kah a dan tuipuei taengah khaw rhaeh uh.
“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh, ‘Israel ca rhoek tah khohmuen ah amamih a lukil uh tih khosoek ah a det,’ ti saeh.
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Te vaengah Pharaoh lungbuei te ka moem pah vetih amih te a hloem ni. Tedae Pharaoh neh a thadueng cungkuem rhangneh kamah ka thangpom vetih Egypt rhoek loh kai he YAHWEH la a ming uh ni,” a ti nah tih a saii uh tangloeng.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” They did so.
5 Tedae pilnam a yong te Egypt manghai taengla a puen pah vaengah tah Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek loh pilnam taengah thinko a maelh uh tih, “Israel he mamih ham a thotat khui lamloh n'hlah coeng dongah balae n'saii uh he,” a ti uh.
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Te dongah a leng te a khih tih amah pilnam te amah taengla a loh.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 Te phoeiah leng a coelh ya rhuk neh Egypt leng boeih kah a boeilu boeih te khaw a loh.
and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 BOEIPA loh Egypt manghai Pharaoh kah lungbuei te a moem pah dongah Israel ca rhoek te a hloem. Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah kut thoh nen ni a khong uh.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 Amih hnuk te Egypt rhoek loh a hloem uh tangloeng tih tuipuei taengah a rhaeh vaengah amih te a kae uh. Pharaoh kah marhang leng boeih neh a marhang caem khaw, anih kah caem khaw, Baalzephon dan kah Pihahiroth la pawk.
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Pharaoh loh a paan vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh a mik te a huel uh. Egypt rhoek te a hnukah tarha a caeh pah vaengah tah bahoeng a rhih dongah Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA taengah pang uh.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
11 Moses taengah khaw, “Egypt ah phuel om voel pawt tih nim khosoek ah duek sak ham kaimih nang khuen, Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen neh kaimih ham banim na saii he?
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12 Egypt ah nang hma kan thui uh te ol pawt nim. Kaimih he tamah laeh saeh ka ti. Egypt taengah thotat palueng sih, khosoek kah duek lakah Egypt taengah thohtat he kaimih ham then ngai,” a ti uh.
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Tedae Moses loh pilnam te, “Rhih uh boeh, pai uh lamtah hmu uh. BOEIPA kah khangnah he nangmih ham tihnin ah a saii bitni. Tihnin kah na hmuh Egypt rhoek he koep hmuh ham kumhal duela na khoep uh voel mahpawh.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 BOEIPA loh nangmih ham a vathoh bitni, nangmih duem om uh,” a ti nah.
The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Balae tih kai taengah na pang, Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah ana cet uh saeh.
The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Nang te na conghol thoh lamtah tuipuei soah na kut thueng laeh. Tuipuei te a phih daengah ni Israel ca te tuipuei khui kah laiphuei dongah a caeh uh eh.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 Kai kamah long ni Egypt lungbuei te ka moem pah. Amih te a hloem vaengah ni Pharaoh so neh a caem boeih so lamloh, a leng so neh a marhang caem so lamloh kamah ka thangpom uh eh.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Pharaoh so neh a leng soah a marhang caem soah kamah ka thangpom uh vaengah kai YAHWEH he Egypt loh a ming bitni,” a ti nah.
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 Te phoeiah Israel lambong hmai ah aka cet Pathen puencawn tah khoe uh tih amih hnuk la cet. Cingmai tung khaw amih hmai lamloh thoeih tih amih hnuk ah pai.
The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 Te vaengah Egypt lambong laklo neh Israel lambong laklo la pawk. Cingmai khaw a hmuep la om dae khoyin ah sae. Te dongah khoyin khing a taengla pha thai pawh.
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Te vaengah Moses loh a kut te tuipuei soah a thueng tih BOEIPA loh tuipuei te khoyin puet khothoeng yilh tlung neh a yah pah. Te dongah tuipuei te lanhak la poeh tih tui te phik uh.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te tuipuei laklung kah laiphuei dongah cet uh tih tui khaw amih ham a banvoei neh a bantang ah vongtung la a om pah.
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Egypt rhoek a hloem uh vaengah Pharaoh kah marhang leng boeih neh a marhang caem khaw amih hnukah tuipuei tuilung la kun uh.
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Mincang khopo a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh hmai tung neh cingmai dong lamloh Egypt lambong te a dan tih Egypt lambong te a khawkkhek.
In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25 A leng dongkah lengkho te a tling pah tih hnorhih la a hmaithawn. Te dongah Egypt loh, “Israel mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham pawn sih, BOEIPA loh amih ham Egypt a vathoh thil,” a ti.
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Tuipuei soah na kut te thueng lamtah tui loh Egypt neh a leng neh a marhang caem soah et saeh,” a ti nah.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Moses loh a kut te tuipuei soah a thueng tangloeng tih mincang vikvak ah tuipuei khaw amah thim la mael. Te long te amah coeng dongah Egypt rhoek khaw rhaelrham uh dae BOEIPA loh Egypt rhoek te tuipuei khui la a khoek.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 Tui a mael vaengah leng neh marhang caem te a et pah. Amih hnuk ah tuipuei la aka pawk Pharaoh caem boeih te pakhat pataeng sueng pawh.
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah tuipuei tuilung kah laiphuei dongah cet uh tih tui te amih kah a banvoei, a bantang ah vongtung la a om pah.
But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Israel te Egypt kut lamkah a khang tangloeng tih Israel loh tuipuei tuikaeng ah Egypt a duek te a hmuh.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 BOEIPA kah tanglue kut neh Egypt soah a saii te Israel loh a hmuh. Te daengah pilnam loh BOEIPA te a rhih tih BOEIPA neh a sal Moses te a tangnah uh.
Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
