< Exodus 14 >

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya;
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.
“Nyis jo-Israel oduogi mondo gibuor machiegni gi Pi Hahiroth mantie e kind Migdol gi nam. Gibiro bworo machiegni gi nam, mochomore gi Baal Zefon.
3 And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
Farao biro paro kowacho ni, ‘Jo-Israel digni e piny korwenyo e thim.’
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.
Abiro miyo chuny Farao bedo mapek, mi owuogi kolawo jo-Israel. To abiro yudo duongʼ ne an awuon kuom Farao kaachiel gi jolwenje duto, eka jo-Misri nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye.” Eka jo-Israel notimo kamano.
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?”
Kane onyis ruodh Misri ni jogo osedhi, Farao gi jodonge noloko pachgi kuom jo-Israel mi giwacho niya, “Angʼo ma wasetimoni? Waseweyo jo-Israel odhi kendo tije ma yande gitiyonwa orumo!”
6 Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
Eka ne oikne geche mar jolweny, bangʼe nokawo jolweny mage.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
Nokawo geche mia auchiel mabeyo mag lweny, kod geche mamoko mag jo-Misri ka moro ka moro nigi jatend lweny.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo chuny Farao ma ruodh Misri odoko matek, mi nolawo jo-Israel mane wuotho ka gin gi chir.
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.
Jo-Misri kod farese Farao gi gechegi, gi joidh farese kod jolweny nolawo jo-Israel mi gijukogi ka gibworo e bath nam machiegni gi Pi Hahiroth mochomore gi Baal Zefon.
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.
Kane Farao ochopo machiegni kodgi, jo-Israel notingʼo wangʼ-gi mi gineno ka jo-Misri lawogi. Luoro nomakogi mi giywakne Jehova Nyasaye.
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?
Negiwacho ni Musa niya, “Ne onge kuonde yiko mane inyalo yikwae e piny Misri momiyo ikelowa e thim ka mondo wathoe? En angʼo ma isetimonwani kuom golowa e piny Misri?
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.”
Donge ne wanyisi e piny Misri ni, ‘Wewa, mondo watine jo-Misri?’ Dine bernwa tiyo ni jo-Misri moloyo tho e thim!”
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.
Musa nodwoko ogandano niya, “Kik ubed maluor. Chungʼuru motegno eka ubiro neno resruok ma Jehova Nyasaye biro kelonu kawuono. Jo-Misri ma uneno kawuononi ok unuchak une kendo.
14 The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
Jehova Nyasaye biro kedonu; owinjore ubed gi kwe.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Angʼo momiyo uywakna? Nyis jo-Israel mondo odhi nyime giwuoth.
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.
Tingʼ ludhi malo kendo irie badi ewi nam mondo ipog pige eka jo-Israel ongʼad nam kawuotho e lowo motwo.
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.
Abiro keto chuny jo-Misri doko matek mondo gilaw bangʼ-gi nyaka ei nam. Kendo abiro yudo duongʼ kuom Farao kaachiel gi jolweny gi geche lwenje kod joidh faresene.
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.”
Jo-Misri biro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye ka ayudo duongʼ kuom Farao gi gechene kod joidh faresene.”
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
Eka Malaika mar Nyasaye, mane osebedo kotelo e nyim jolwenj jo-Israel, nodok chien bangʼ jo-Israel. Bor polo bende ne osudo machiegni e nyim jo-Israel mi odok ka ngʼegi,
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.
ka ochungʼ e kind jolwenj jo-Misri kod jo-Israel. Otienono duto bor polono nokelo mudho ne konchiel to komachielo nokelo ler; omiyo onge oganda mane osudo machiegni gi machielo otienono duto.
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.
Eka Musa norieyo bade ewi nam, kendo otienono duto Jehova Nyasaye notugo yamo ma aa yo wuok chiengʼ mopogo pi nyadiriyo mi kanyo olokore lowo motwo. Pige nopogore,
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.
kendo jo-Israel nongʼado nam kawuotho e lowo motwo, ka pi ogingore e bathgi korachwich gi koracham.
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.
Jo-Misri nolawogi kendo farese Farao duto gi gechene kaachiel gi joidh gechene nolawogi nyaka ei nam.
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.
Kane piny dwaro yawore Jehova Nyasaye nonenogi gie ligek mach, mine omiyo jolwenj jo-Misri odigni.
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.”
Nomiyo tiende gechegi owuok mine ok ginyal riembogi. Eka jo-Misri nowacho niya, “Waringuru waa kuom jo-Israel! Jehova Nyasaye ema kedonegi kod jo-Misri.”
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.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Rie badi e nam mondo pi oum jo-Misri gi gechegi kod joidh faresegi.”
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.
Musa norieyo bade e nam kendo ka piny ne oyawore, to nonwangʼo ka pi osedok e wangʼe. Jo-Misri ne ringo kochomo dier nam, kendo Jehova Nyasaye noywerogi gi pi nyaka ei namno.
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.
Pi nogingore kadok kare kendo noimo geche gi joidh farese gi jolweny Farao duto mane olawo jo-Israel nyaka e nam. Onge kata achiel kuomgi mane otony.
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.
Jo-Israel to nongʼado nam kawuotho e lowo motwo, ka pi ogingore e bathgi korachwich gi koracham.
30 And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
Chiengʼno Jehova Nyasaye noreso Israel e lwet jo-Misri, kendo Israel noneno ka jo-Misri otho e dho nam.
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.
Bangʼ ka jo-Israel noseneno teko maduongʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso kokedo gi jo-Misri, oganda noluoro Jehova Nyasaye kendo negiketo genogi kuome kaachiel gi kuom Musa jatichne.
