< Exodus 14 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Angraengh mah Mosi khaeah,
2 “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.
Israel kaminawk khaeah, Migdol vangpui hoi tuipui salak, Baal-Zephon vangpui taeng, tuipui taeng Pi-Hahiroth ah amlaem oh loe, tuipui taengah atai o han, thui paeh.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
Faro mah Israel kaminawk kawng pongah, Nihcae loe saoeng ah raihaih tongh o, praezaek mah pakaa khoep boeh, tiah thui tih.
4 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.
Faro to palung ka thahsak moe, nihcae ka patomsak let han; toe Faro hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk nuiah, ka lensawkhaih to kam tuengsak han; to naah Izip kaminawk mah kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tito panoek o tih, tiah a naa. To pongah Israel kaminawk mah to tiah sak o.
5 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.”
Kaminawk cawnh o boih boeh, tiah Izip siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae o naah, Faro hoi a tamnanawk loe uthaih palungthin to tawnh o moe, kaminawk khaeah, Tikhoe hae tiah na sak o moe, aicae han toksah Israel kaminawk to na tacawt o sak boih loe? tiah a naa o.
6 So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.
To pongah angmah ih hrang leeng to suek coek moe, angmah ih kaminawk to nawnto a caeh haih;
7 He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
kahoih koek hrang leeng cumvai tarukto a lak moe, Izip prae ih hrang angthueng kaminawk, misatuh angraengnawk to a kawk.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.
Angraeng mah Izip siangpahrang, Faro ih palung to thahsak pongah, anih mah Israel kaminawk to patom; toe Israel kaminawk loe amoekhaih hoiah caeh o.
9 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.
Izip kaminawk, Faro ih hrangnawk hoi hrang leengnawk, hrang angthueng kaminawk hoi misatuh kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to patom o moe, Bal-Zephon hmaa ih, vapui taeng Pi-Hariroth ah anghak o naah a kae o.
10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and they were terrified and cried out to the LORD.
Israel kaminawk mah doeng o naah, Faro loe anghnai daek ah phak boeh; to naah Izip kaminawk mah nihcae patom boeh, tito panoek o, Israel kaminawk loe paroeai zit o moe, Angraeng khaeah hangh o.
11 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?
Israel caanawk mah Mosi khaeah, Izip prae ah taprong om ai pongah maw, duek hanah praezaek ah nang caeh haih? Tipongah hae tiah sak hanah, Izip prae thung hoi nang caeh haih loe?
12 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.”
Izip prae ah, Na caeh o taak ah, kaicae loe Izip kaminawk ih tok to ka sak pae o halat han boeh, tiah kang thuih o na ai maw? Praezaek ah ka duek o pongah loe, Izip kaminawk ih toksak to kaicae han hoih kue, tiah a naa o.
13 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.
Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Zii o hmah, kacakah angdoe oh, vaihni ah Angraeng mah nangcae hnuksak han ih, pahlonghaih to khen oh; vaihni ah na hnuk o ih Izip kaminawk loe, dungzan khoek to na hnu o let mak ai boeh.
14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Nangcae loe anghngai o duem ah, Angraeng mah nangcae han misa na tuh pae tih, tiah a naa.
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Tipongah kai khaeah na hang o loe? Israel kaminawk khaeah hmabang caeh o poe hanah thui pae oh;
16 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.
toe na cunghet to phok tahang ah, tuipui nuiah na ban to payang ah loe, tuipui to pakhoih ah; to naah Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah saoeng baktiah caeh o tih.
17 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.
Khenah, nihcae mah nangcae patom o hanah, Izip kaminawk to palung ka thahsak han; Faro hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk boih nuiah, ka lensawkhaih to amtueng tih.
18 The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Faro hoi angmah ih hrang leeng, anih ih hrang angthueng kaminawk nuiah ka lensawkhaih to kam tuengsak naah, Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tito Izip kaminawk mah panoek o tih, tiah a naa.
19 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,
Israel misatuh kaminawk ataihaih hmaa ah kacaeh, Sithaw ih van kami loe amlaem moe, nihcae hnuk ah a caeh; nihcae hmaa ah kacaeh tamai tung doeh nihcae hnukbang ah angdoet sut;
20 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.
Izip misatuh kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen hoi Israel kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen salakah a caeh; tamai loe maeto hanah vinghaih ah oh moe, maeto hanah loe aanghaih ah oh pongah, nihcae loe aqum puek maeto hoi maeto khaeah caeh o thai ai.
21 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,
To pacoengah Mosi mah tuipui bangah ban to payangh, to naah Angraeng mah aqum puek ni angyae bang hoiah takhi kaham to songsak, tui to saoeng ah angcoengsak moe, tui to hnetto ah amkhoih.
22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah, saoeng ih lam caeh baktih toengah a caeh o; tui loe banqoi bantang im tapang baktiah oh.
23 And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.
Izip kaminawk loe Faro ih hrang, hrang leeng, hrang angthueng kaminawk hoiah nihcae to patom o moe, tuipui um li ah a caeh o.
24 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.
Akhawnbang ah loe Angraeng mah tamai hmai thung hoiah Izip misatuh kaminawk to khet tathuk, to naah Izip misatuh kaminawk to raihaih paek.
25 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!”
Hrang leeng caeh thaih han ai ah, hrang leeng khoknawk to angmongsak boih; to naah Izip kaminawk mah, Israel kaminawk khae hoi cawn o ving si boeh; Angraeng mah hae kaminawk hanah Izip kaminawk to misa tuk pae boeh, tiah a thuih o.
26 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.”
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Izip kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk nuiah, tui angcuu let moe, khuk hmoek hanah, tuipui nuiah na ban to payangh ah, tiah a naa.
27 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.
Mosi mah tuipui nuiah a ban to payangh; akhawnbang ah loe tuipui kathuk ah tui to angcuu let; Izip kaminawk loe cawnh o; toe Angraeng mah Izip kaminawk to tuipui um ah uemsak king.
28 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.
Tui loe angcuu let moe, Nihcae patom Faro ih misatuh kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk to uem boih; kami maeto doeh anghmat o ai.
29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
Toe Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah saoeng baktiah caeh o poe; tui loe nihcae han banqoi bantang im tapang baktiah oh.
30 That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.
To na niah Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk to Izip kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong; tuipui taengah kadueh Izip kaminawk ih qok to Israel kaminawk mah hnuk o.
31 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.
Izip kaminawk nuiah Angraeng mah kalen parai toksakhaih to amtuengsak, tito Israel kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, Angraeng to zit o moe, Angraeng hoi a tamna Mosi nuiah tanghaih to tawnh o.
