< Exodus 15 >

1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.
Afei, Mose ne Israelfoɔ too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom mama Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, wadi nkonim animuonyam mu; Wato ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ no agu ɛpo mu.
2 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
“Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagyeɛ. Ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Onyankopɔn—Mɛma no so.
3 The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofoɔ; Aane, ne din ne Awurade.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakodɔm, wato wɔn agu Ama wɔamem Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofoɔ atitire awuwu asorɔkye ase.
5 The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.
Nsuo akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem subunu mu sɛ ɛboɔ.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, tumi ne animuonyam ahyɛ no ma. Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, atete atamfoɔ mu pasaa.
7 You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
“Wo tumi kɛseɛ no mu, wotuu wɔn a wɔtia wo no guiɛ. Womaa wʼabufuhyeɛ bɛhyee wɔn sɛ ogya hye ɛserɛ.
8 At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
Wogu ahome a, nsuo mu pae. Ɛgyinaa sɛ afasuo ma ɛpo taa ɛfa ne ɛfa.
9 The enemy declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.’
Ɔtamfoɔ de ahomasoɔ kaeɛ sɛ, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Na makyɛ afodeɛ no mu. Mɛtwe mʼakofena wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasini.’
10 But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa maa ɛpo kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subunu no mu.
11 Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?
Hwan na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hwan na ɔte sɛ wo? Ɔberempɔn wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; deɛ yɛde surokronkron ma nʼanimuonyam, na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛyɛfoɔ Onyankopɔn.
12 You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.
“Wotenee wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
13 With loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.
Woadi nnipa a wogyee wɔn no anim, wʼayamyɛ mu. Wonam anwanwakwan so adi wɔn anim de wɔn aba wʼasase kronkron no so.
14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.
Amanaman tee asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ma wɔn ho popoeɛ. Ehu aka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab; those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,
Edom mpanimfoɔ ho adwiri wɔn. Atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab ho woso. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa abɔ huboa.
16 and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.
Ehu ne suro afa wɔn so. Ao, Awurade, wo tumi enti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfoɔ a wotɔɔ wɔn bɛtwa wɔn ho asomdwoeɛ mu.
17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance— the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.
Wode wɔn bɛba abɛdua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔ so, wo ara wo efie hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
18 The LORD will reign forever and ever!”
“Awurade bɛdi ɔhene akɔsi daa.”
19 For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
Farao apɔnkɔ, nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa ɛpo no mu; nanso, Awurade buu nsuo afasuo no guu wɔn so ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ no nam mu sɛ asase wesee no.
20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.
Ɛhɔ na Odiyifoɔ baa Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabaa faa twene bi bɔ de dii mmaa no anim ma wɔsaeɛ.
21 And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”
Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim animuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ amem ɛpo ase.”
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water.
Afei, Mose dii Israelfoɔ no anim ne wɔn tu firii Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur ɛserɛ so. Na wɔnantee ɛserɛ no so nnansa a wɔannya nsuo annom.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.)
Wɔduruu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsuo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ nwono. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; aseɛ ne: Nwononwono.
24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
Afei, nnipa no danee wɔn ani tiaa Mose sɛ, “Osukɔm nku yɛn anaa?”
25 And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn, na Awurade kyerɛɛ no dua bi. Na ɔtoo dubaa no too nsuo no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wɔtumi nomeeɛ. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn sɛ,
26 saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
“Sɛ mobɛtie Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ ɔsetie, ayɛ ade tenenee deɛ a, yadeɛ a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfoɔ no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade a mesa mo nyarewa.”
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na nsubura dumienu ne mmɛdua aduɔson wɔ enti, wɔsisii wɔn ntomadan, tenaa nsubura no ho.
