Exodus 14
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange,
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.
“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 Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
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 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.
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 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?”
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 Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
Pea naʻa ne teuʻi leva ʻene saliote, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa hono kakai mo ia:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
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 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted 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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.”
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: “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.
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 will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
ʻE tau ʻa Sihova maʻamoutolu, pea te mou fakalongo pe.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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, 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
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through 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 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.
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 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.”
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: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over their chariots and horsemen.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
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 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.
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.
