Tâconae 14
1 BAWIPA nihai,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Isarelnaw ban teh Pihahiroth khopui teng, Migedan khopui hoi tuipui rahak, Baalazephon khopui hmalah rim tuk hanlah dei pouh.
“Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Faro siangpahrang ni Isarelnaw teh khikpacu awh toe. Ramke um lam awm hoeh toe telah ati han.
For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
4 Kai ni hai Faro e lungthin ka pata sak vaiteh, ahni ni Isarelnaw a pâlei han. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie Izipnaw ni a panue nahanlah hote siangpahrang hoi a ransanaw lahoi ka bawilennae a kamnue han telah Mosi koe atipouh e patetlah ahnimanaw ni a sak awh.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. But I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So this is what the Israelites did.
5 Hote taminaw a yawng e kong Izip siangpahrang koe a thai sak awh navah, ahni koehoi a sannaw e lungthin bout a kamlang teh, maimouh ni hettelah sak awh teh Isarelnaw hah maimae thawtawknae koehoi bangkongmaw a hlout awh han telah ati awh.
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
6 Hat navah, Siangpahrang ni rangleng coungkacoe a rakueng teh a taminaw hah akaw.
So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.
7 Rangleng kahawi e cum taruk touh hoi Izip marangransanaw pueng hoi cungtalah, bawinaw pueng haiyah a ceikhai.
He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
8 BAWIPA ni Faro e lungthin bout a pata sak dawkvah, ahni ni Isarelnaw hah a pâlei awh. Hat ei, Isarelnaw teh kut dâw laihoi a cei awh.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.
9 Hottelah, Faro siangpahrang e marangransanaw, rangleng ransanaw hoi Izip taminaw ni a pâlei awh teh, Pihahuroth khopui teng, Baalazephon khopui hmalah tuipui rai lah rim ka tuk e Isarelnaw hah a pha awh.
The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 Faro ni a hnai nah Isarelnaw ni a khet awh teh Izipnaw ni pâlei e a hmu awh navah, pueng hoi a taki awh dawkvah BAWIPA koe a hramki awh.
As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.
11 Mosi koe hai, Izip ram dawk phuenmon ao hoeh dawkvah maw, hi ramke um due hanlah kaimouh na hrawi awh. Kaimouh koe hettelah na sak teh, Izip ram hoi bangkong na hrawi awh.
They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
12 Kaimouh teh Izipnaw koe san lah kaawm awh yawkaw nei telah Izip ram vah ka dei awh navah, hete hno khet laihoi ka dei awh hoeh na maw. Kaimouh hete kahrawngum due hlak teh Izipnaw koe san lah o e heh ahawihnawn telah ati awh.
Did we not say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so 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 Mosi ni taket awh hanh. Lungmawngcalah awm awh. BAWIPA ni sahnin nangmouh hanlah rungngangnae a sak hane hah khenhaw. Sahnin nangmouh ni na hmu e Izipnaw heh bout na hmawt awh mahoeh toe.
But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.
14 BAWIPA ni taran na tuk pouh han. Nangmanaw teh lungmawngcalah na o awh han telah taminaw koe a dei pouh.
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
15 BAWIPA ni bangkongmaw KAI na kaw awh. Isarelnaw hmalah cei hanlah dei pouh.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
16 Nang ni sonron na kut hoi tuipui van lah dâw nateh tuipui kâphi sak. Isarelnaw ni tui lungui, talai kaphui dawk a cei awh han.
And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.
17 KAI ni Izipnaw e a lungthin ka pata sak vaiteh, ahnimouh ni na pâlei awh han. Faro siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, marang, marangransanaw lahoi ka lentoenae a kamnue han.
And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.
18 Hottelah, Faro siangpahrang hoi a marang, marangransanaw lahoi ka lentoenae a kamnue toteh, kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie hah Izipnaw ni a panue awh han telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.
The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 Hat navah, Isarelnaw e hmalah ka cet e Cathut e kalvantami ni a hnuk a pâlei teh, tâmai khom teh ahnimae hmalah hoi hnuklah a kampuen teh a kangdue.
And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,
20 Hottelah, Izip ransanaw hoi Isarel ransanaw rahak a pha nah, Izipnaw koe kahmawt sak e tâmai lah ao teh, Isarelnaw koe teh angnae ka poe dawkvah karum tuettuet buet touh hoi buet touh kâhnai thai awh hoeh.
so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.
21 Mosi ni tuipui lathueng a kut a dâw nah karum tuettuet BAWIPA ni Kanîtholae kahlî katang hoi tuipui hah hnuklah a pâban teh talai rem a phui sak.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,
22 Isarelnaw ni tuipui lungui talai dawk a cei awh teh, tui teh ahnimae avoilah aranglah talung tapang patetlah ao.
and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
23 Izipnaw, Faro siangpahrang ni a hrawi e marang, marangransanaw teh tuipui lungui a kâen awh.
And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.
24 Amom vah BAWIPA ni Izip ransanaw hah hmaikhom hoi tâmai dawk hoi a khet teh a tarawk.
At morning watch, however, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw their camp into confusion.
25 Ahnimae rangleng cei a ru nahanlah a khok a kâhlehlawk sak. Izipnaw ni hai Isarelnaw koehoi yawng awh leih sei, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe lahoi Izip taminaw a tuk, telah ati awh.
He caused their chariot wheels to wobble, so that they had difficulty driving. “Let us flee from the Israelites,” said the Egyptians, “for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt!”
26 BAWIPA nihai, tuipui ni Izip taminaw, ranglengnaw, marangransanaw e lathueng vah tip sin hanelah, tupui lathueng na kut dâw atipouh e patetlah,
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Khodai toteh Mosi ni tuipui lathueng a kut a dâw teh, tuipui tui teh a thao teh bout a lawng. Izipnaw ni a yawng takhai ei, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh tuipui lungui vah a tâkhawng.
So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating, the LORD swept them into the sea.
28 Hottelah, tuipui tui teh bout a lawng teh tuipui dawk a bo toteh, Faro siangpahrang e rangleng, marangransanaw pueng teh muen a ramuk dawkvah buet touh hai hlout awh hoeh.
The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.
29 Isarelnaw teh tuipui lungui talai kaphui dawk hoi a cei awh teh, tui teh ahnimae avoilah aranglah talung tapang patetlah ao.
But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
30 Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw teh Izipnaw e kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh tuipui rai lah Izipnaw e ronaw teh a hmu awh.
That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.
31 Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Izipnaw koe hno ka len poung a sak e hah Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh navah, BAWIPA hah a taki awh. BAWIPA hoi a san Mosi hah a yuem awh.
When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.
