Exodus 14
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel. Let them turn back and encamp away from the region of Pihahiroth, which is between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon. In its sight you shall place your camp, above the sea.
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 And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
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 his heart, and so he will pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
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 And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed about the people, and they said, “What did we intend to do, so that we 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 Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
Te dongaha leng te a khih tih amah pilnam te amah taengla a loh.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
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, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted hand.
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 And when the Egyptians followed the footsteps of those who preceded them, they found them in a camp above the sea. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the entire army, were in Pihahiroth, 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 And when Pharaoh had drawn near, the sons of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them. And they were very afraid. And they 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 And they said to Moses: “Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, for which reason you took us to die in the wilderness. What is it that you intended to do, in leading 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 Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Withdraw from us, so that we may serve the Egyptians? For it was much better to serve them, 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 And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do today. For the Egyptians, whom you now see, will never again be seen, forever.
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 on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
BOEIPA loh nangmih ham a vathoh bitni, nangmih duem om uh,” a ti nah.
15 And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Balae tih kai taengah na pang, Israel ca rhoek te thui pah lamtah ana cet uh saeh.
16 Now, lift up your staff, and extend your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may walk through the midst of 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 Then I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so as to pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his 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 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots, as well as in 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 preceded the camp of Israel, lifting himself up, went behind them. And the pillar of cloud, together with him, left the front for the rear
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 and stood between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, yet it illuminated the night, so that they could not succeed at approaching one another at any time all that night.
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 And when Moses had extended his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by an intense burning wind, blowing throughout the night, and he turned it into dry ground. And the water was 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 sons of Israel went in through the midst of the dried sea. For the water was like a wall at their right hand and at their left hand.
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, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of 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 And now the morning watch had arrived, and behold, the Lord, looking down upon the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, put to death their army.
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 And he overturned the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. Therefore, the Egyptians said: “Let us flee from Israel. For the Lord fights on their behalf against us.”
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 And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over 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 And when Moses had extended his hand opposite the sea, it was returned, at first light, to its former place. And the fleeing Egyptians met with the waters, and the Lord immersed them in the midst of the waves.
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 And the waters were returned, and they covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, who, in following, had entered into the sea. And not so much as one of them was left alive.
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 sons of Israel continued directly through the midst of the dried sea, and the waters were to them like a wall on the right and on the 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 And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
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 And they saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea and the great hand that the Lord had exercised against them. And the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.
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.
