Exodus 14
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
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.
“Di fis Israël yo pou yo vire fè bak, e fè kan devan Pi-Hahiroth antre Migdol ak lanmè a. Nou va fè kan devan Baal-Tsephon, anfas li, bò kote lanmè a.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
Paske Farawon va di de fis Israël yo: ‘Y ap mache byen egare nan peyi a; dezè a gen tan fèmen yo ladann.’
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.
Konsa Mwen va andisi kè Farawon e li va kouri dèyè yo. Epi Mwen va onore pa Farawon avèk tout lame li a, e Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.” Se konsa yo te fè.
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.”
Lè wa Égypte la te avèti ke pèp la te sove ale, Farawon avèk sèvitè li yo te vin gen yon chanjman kè anvè pèp la. Yo te di: “Kisa sa ye nou fin fè la a, ke nou kite Israël ale pou kite sèvis nou yo?”
6 So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him.
Alò, li te prepare cha li, e te pran pèp li a avèk li.
7 He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
Epi li te pran sis-san cha byen chwazi, ansanm ak tout lòt cha an Égypte yo avèk gwo chèf sou yo tout.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out defiantly.
SENYÈ a te andisi kè Farawon, wa Égypte la, e li te kouri dèyè fis Israël yo. Paske se ak gwo kouraj ke Israël te soti.
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.
Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te kouri dèyè yo avèk tout cheval yo ak cha Farawon yo, chevalye li yo, avèk lame li, e yo te vin parèt sou yo kanpe bò kote lanmè a, akote Pi-Hihroth, anfas Baal-Tsephon.
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.
Pandan Farawon t ap pwoche, fis Israël yo te gade, e vwala, Ejipsyen yo t ap mache dèyè yo. Yo te vin pè anpil, epi fis Israël yo te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a.
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?
Alò yo te di a Moïse: “Èske se paske pa gen tonm an Égypte ke ou mennen nou pati pou mouri nan dezè a? Poukisa ou te aji avèk nou konsa, pou fè nou sòti an Égypte?
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.”
Èske se pa pawòl ke nou te pale ou an Égypte la lè nou te di: ‘Pa deranje nou pou nou ka sèvi Ejipsyen yo?’ Paske li t ap pi bon pou nou pou sèvi Ejipsyen yo pase pou nou ta mouri nan dezè a.”
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.
Men Moïse te di a pèp la: “Pa pè anyen! Kanpe la pou wè delivrans SENYÈ a va acheve pou nou jodi a. Paske Ejipsyen yo ke nou wè jodi a, nou p ap wè yo ankò jiska jamè.
14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
SENYÈ a va goumen pou nou pandan nou rete an silans.”
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Poukisa w ap kriye ban Mwen konsa? Di pèp la avanse.
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.
Epi pou ou menm, leve baton ou an anlè. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou fann li. Konsa, fis Israël yo va pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch.
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.
Pou Mwen, gade byen, Mwen va fè kè Ejipsyen yo di pou yo kouri antre dèyè yo. Konsa, Mwen va jwenn onè sou Farawon an avèk tout lame li ak cha li yo avèk kavalye li yo.
18 The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Alò, Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen vin onore pa Farawon, pa cha li yo, ak kavalye li yo.”
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,
Zanj Bondye a ki t ap prale devan kan Israël la te vin deplase e te kanpe dèyè yo; epi pilye nwaj la te deplase kite devan yo, pou te kanpe dèyè yo.
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.
Alò li te vin divize kan Égypte la ak kan Israël la. Te gen nwaj la ansanm avèk tenèb la, men li te bay limyè nan nwit lan. Konsa youn pa t pwoche lòt pandan tout nwit lan.
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,
Alò Moïse te lonje men l sou lanmè a; epi SENYÈ a te bale lanmè a pa yon van lès byen fò tout lannwit. Li te fè lanmè a vin tounen tè sèch, e dlo a te vin fann.
22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
Fis Israël yo te pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch, e dlo a te vin tankou yon miray pou yo sou men dwat yo ak sou men goch yo.
23 And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen—and followed them into the sea.
Alò, Ejipsyen yo te vin kouri dèyè yo, e tout cheval Farawon, avèk cha li yo, avèk kavalye li yo te antre kouri dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a.
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.
A la vèy nan maten, SENYÈ a te gade anba sou lame Ejipsyen yo, sou pilye a dife avèk nwaj yo, e Li te mennen lame Ejipsyen an nan yon gwo konfizyon.
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!”
Li te retire wou cha yo, e yo te mal a kondwi. Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te di: “Annou sove ale kite Israël, paske SENYÈ a ap goumen pou yo kont Ejipsyen yo.”
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.”
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou dlo a kab retounen vin sou Ejipsyen yo, sou cha yo, ak sou kavalye yo.”
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.
Alò, Moise te lonje men li sou lanmè a, e lanmè a te retounen nan eta nòmal li nan granmmaten, pandan Ejipsyen yo t ap sove ale tou kontra li. Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Ejipsyen yo nan mitan lanmè a.
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.
Dlo a te retounen e te kouvri cha yo avèk kavalye yo, e menm tout lame Farawon ki te antre nan lanmè a dèyè yo. Pa t menm gen youn nan yo ki te rete.
29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
Men fis Israël yo te mache sou tè sèch pase nan mitan lanmè a, e dlo a te vin tankou yon mi pou yo ni sou men dwat yo ni sou men goch yo.
30 That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a nan men a Ejipsyen yo, e Israël te wè Ejipsyen yo ki te mouri sou bò lanmè a.
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.
Lè Israël te wè gran pwisans ke SENYÈ a te sèvi kont Ejipsyen yo, tout Pèp la te krent SENYÈ a, e yo te kwè nan SENYÈ a ak sèvitè li a, Moïse.
