Exodus 14
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
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 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.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh, “Israel ca rhoek tah khohmuen ah amamih a lukil uh tih khosoek ah a det,” ti saeh.
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.
Te vaengah Pharaoh lungbuei te ka moem pah vetih amih te a hloem ni. Tedae Pharaoh neha 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.
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.”
Tedae pilnam 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.
6 So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.
Te dongaha leng te a khih tih amah pilnam te amah taengla a loh.
7 He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
Te phoeiah leng a coelh ya rhuk neh Egypt leng boeiha boeilu boeih te khaw a loh.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.
BOEIPA loh Egypt manghai Pharaoh kah lungbuei te a moem pah dongah Israel ca rhoek te a hloem. Tedae Israel ca rhoek kut thoh nen ni a khong uh.
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.
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 neha marhang caem khaw, anih kah caem khaw, Baalzephon dan kah Pihahiroth la pawk.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.”
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.
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.
Tedae Moses loh pilnam te, “Rhih uh boeh, pai uh lamtah hmu uh. BOEIPA kah khangnah nangmih ham tihnin ah a saii bitni. Tihnin kah na hmuh Egypt rhoek he koep hmuh ham kumhal duela na khoep uh voel mahpawh.
14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
BOEIPA loh nangmih ham a vathoh bitni, nangmih duem om uh,” a ti nah.
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Balae tih kai taengah na pang, Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah ana cet uh saeh.
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.
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.
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.
Kai kamah long ni Egypt lungbuei te ka moem pah. Amih te a hloem vaengah ni Pharaoh so neha caem boeih so lamloh, a leng so neha marhang caem so lamloh kamah ka thangpom uh eh.
18 The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Pharaoh so neh a leng soaha marhang caem soah kamah ka thangpom uh vaengah kai Yahweh he Egypt loh a ming bitni,” a ti nah.
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,
Te phoeiah Israel lambong hmai ah aka cet Pathen puencawn khoe uh tih amih hnuk la cet. Cingmai tung khaw amih hmai lamloh thoeih tih amih hnuk ah pai.
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.
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.
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,
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.
22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
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.
23 And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.
Egypt rhoek a hloem uh vaengah Pharaoh kah marhang leng boeih neha marhang caem khaw amih hnukah tuipuei tuilung la kun uh.
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.
Mincang khopo a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh hmai tung neh cingmai dong lamloh Egypt lambong te a dan tih Egypt lambong te a khawkkhek.
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!”
A leng dongkah lengkho te a tling pah tih hnorhih laa hmaithawn. Te dongah Egypt loh, “Israel mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham pawn sih, BOEIPA loh amih ham Egypt a vathoh thil,” a ti.
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.”
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Tuipuei soah na kut te thueng lamtah tui loh Egypt neh a leng neha marhang caem soah et saeh,” a ti nah.
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.
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.
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 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.
29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah tuipuei tuilung kah laiphuei dongah cet uh tih tui te amih kah a banvoei, a bantang ah vongtung la pah.
30 That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.
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.
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.
BOEIPA tanglue kut neh Egypt soah a saii te Israel loh a hmuh. Te daengah pilnam loh BOEIPA te a rhih tih BOEIPA neha sal Moses te a tangnah uh.
