Exodus 14
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
“Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau afe ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Piheloti ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Mikitoli mo e tahi, ʻo hanga tonu ki Peali-sefoni: mou ʻapitanga ʻi he feangai mo ia ʻo ofi ki tahi.
3 And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
Koeʻuhi ʻe lea ʻa Felo ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Kuo nau ʻefihia ʻi he fonua, kuo punusia ʻakinautolu ʻe he toafa.
4 And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
Pea te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, koeʻuhi ke ne tuli ʻakinautolu; pea te u ongolelei ai ʻia Felo mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē; ke ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko Sihova au.” Pea naʻa nau fai ia.
5 And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
Pea naʻe tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kuo hola ʻae kakai: pea naʻe kovi leva ʻae loto ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai, pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā kuo tau fai ai ʻae meʻa ni, ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu mei heʻenau tauhi ʻakitautolu?”
6 So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
Pea naʻa ne teuʻi leva ʻene saliote, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa hono kakai mo ia:
7 having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
Pea ne ʻave ʻae saliote fili ʻe onongeau, mo e ngaahi saliote kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite pea naʻe taki taha kotoa pē ʻa hono ʻeikitau.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne tuli ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e nima māʻolunga.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ko e fanga hoosi kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi saliote ʻo Felo, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, mo ʻene tau, ʻonau maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ʻapitanga ʻo ofi ki tahi, ʻi he potu ʻo Piheloti, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Peali-sefoni.
10 And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
Pea ʻi he ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ʻa Felo, pea hanga hake ʻae mata ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea vakai, ʻoku tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite; naʻa nau manavahē lahi: pea tangi kalanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.
11 and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Mōsese, ‘Naʻe ʻikai ha tanuʻanga ʻi ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu ke mate ʻi he toafa? Ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai kiate kimautolu, ke fetuku ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite?
12 Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
ʻIkai ko e lea eni naʻa mau tala kiate koe ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, Tuku ai pe ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ke mau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite? He tā ne lelei lahi ʻemau tauhi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻemau mate ʻi he toafa.”
13 And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “ʻOua te mou manavahē, tuʻu fakalongolongo pe, ʻo mamata ki he fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia te ne fakahā kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni: he ko e kakai ʻIsipite kuo mou mamata ki ai he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki ai ʻo lauikuonga.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
ʻE tau ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu, pea te mou fakalongo pe.”
15 and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai kiate au? Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke nau ʻalu atu pe.
16 And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
Ka ke hiki hake ho tokotoko, ʻo mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, ʻo fakavaeua ia: pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi he loto tahi.
17 And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
Pea ko au, vakai, te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea te nau muimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea te u maʻu ʻae ongoongo ʻia Felo, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.
18 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, hili ʻae fakaongoongo au ʻia Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.”
19 And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he fononga ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe hiki ʻo ʻalu kimui ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko e pou ʻoe ʻao naʻe hiki ia mei honau ʻao, ʻo tuʻu kimui ʻiate kinautolu:
20 And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ʻo tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻIsileli; pea ko e ʻao ia mo e fakapoʻuli [kiate kinautolu ]na, ka naʻe fakamaama ia [kiate kinautolu ]ni: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hoko ai ʻae taha ki he taha ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi; pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihova ke foki ʻae tahi ʻi he matangi mālohi mei hahake, ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi ke mōmoa, pea naʻe vaeua ʻae ngaahi vai.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mōmoa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he loto tahi: pea ko e ʻā kiate kinautolu ʻae vai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e nima toʻohema.
23 And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
Pea tuli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, ʻonau ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻiate kinautolu ki loto tahi, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi hoosi kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e kau heka hoosi.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae lakanga leʻo pongipongi, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki he kau tau ʻo ʻIsipite mei he pou ʻoe afi mo e ʻao, ʻo ne veuveuki ʻae tau ʻae kakai ʻIsipite,
25 and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
ʻO ne toʻo ʻae vaʻe mei heʻenau ngaahi saliote; ko ia naʻe tohongataʻa ai: pea pehē ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite, “Ke tau hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; he ʻoku tau maʻanautolu ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu ʻIsipite.”
26 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki tahi, koeʻuhi ke toe haʻu ʻae tahi ki he kakai ʻIsipite, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place towards day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Pea mafao atu ʻae nima ʻo Mōsese ki tahi, pea pongipongi ai, naʻe toe tau mai ʻae tahi ʻi heʻene mālohi; pea hola ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite; ka naʻe liaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi loto tahi.
28 and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
Pea naʻe tau mai ʻae tahi, ʻo lōmakiʻi ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo e tau kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ki tahi ʻo tuli ʻakinautolu; naʻe ʻikai ke hao ha tokotaha.
29 But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
Ka naʻe ʻalu pe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi: pea hangē ko e ʻā maka ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e toʻohema.
30 So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
Naʻe pehē hono fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he kakai mate ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he matātahi.
31 And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngāue lahi ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsipite; pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai kia Sihova, ʻo tui kia Sihova, mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.
