< Exodus 15 >
1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.
Na Mose ne Israelfo no too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ wadi nkonim anuonyam mu; Watow ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo no agu po mu.
2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.
“Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagye. Ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Nyankopɔn, mɛma no so.
3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofo; ne din ne Awurade.
4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.
Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakofo, watow wɔn agu po mu. Wɔamemem wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofo atitiriw awuwu asorɔkye ase.
5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
Nsu akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem asubun mu sɛ ɔbo.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Awurade, tumi ne anuonyam ahyɛ no ma; wo nsa nifa, Awurade, atetew atamfo mu pasaa.
7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.
“Wo tumi kɛse no mu na wonam tuu wɔn a wotia wo no gui. Womaa wʼabufuw bɛhyew wɔn sɛnea ogya hyew sare.
8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.
Wugu ahome a, nsu mu pae. Egyinaa sɛ afasu maa po taa fa ne fa.
9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’
Ɔtamfo kae se, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Mɛtwe mʼafoa wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasin.’
10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
Nanso Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa ma po kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subun no mu.
11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
Hena na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hena na ɔte sɛ wo? Obirɛmpɔn, wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; nea yɛde osuro kronkron ma nʼanuonyam, Ɔnwonwani Nyankopɔn.
12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
“Woteɛɛ wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.
Woadi nnipa a wugyee wɔn no anim. Wʼayamye mu, wubedi wo nkurɔfo a woagye wɔn anim. Wʼahoɔden mu, wobɛkyerɛ wɔn kwan akɔ wo tenabea kronkron hɔ.
14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Amanaman bɛte ama wɔn ho apopo. Ehu bɛka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.
Edom mpanyimfo besuro. Atumfo a wɔwɔ Moab ho bɛwosow. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa bɛbɔ huboa.
16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.
Ehu ne suro bɛtɔ wɔn so. Awurade, wo tumi nti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfo a wotɔɔ wɔn Betwa wɔn ho asomdwoe mu.
17 You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.
Wode wɔn bɛba abedua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔw so, wo ara wo fi hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
“Awurade bedi hene akosi daa.”
19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”
Farao apɔnkɔ, nʼapɔnkɔkafo ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa po no mu; nanso Awurade buu nsu afasu no guu wɔn so bere a na Israelfo no nam mu sɛ asase wosee so.
20 And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.
Ɛhɔ na Odiyifobea Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabea faa akyene bi bɔ de dii mmea no anim ma wɔsawee.
21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”
Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim anuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefo amem po ase.”
22 Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.
Afei, Mose dii Israelfo no anim ne wɔn tu fii Po Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur sare so. Na wɔnantew sare no so nnansa a wɔannya nsu annom.
23 And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.
Woduu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsu, efisɛ na ɛyɛ nwene. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; ase ne: Nweenwen.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
Enti nnipa no nwiinwii tiaa Mose sɛ, “Dɛn na yɛnnom?”
25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn, na Awurade kyerɛɛ no dubaa bi. Na ɔtow too nsu no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wotumi nomee. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn se,
26 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”
“Sɛ mubetie Awurade mo Nyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ osetie ayɛ ade trenee de a, ɔyare a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfo no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, efisɛ mene Awurade a mesa mo nyarewa.”
27 Then the sons of Israel arrived in Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped next to the waters.
Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na mmura dumien ne mmedua aduɔson wɔ, nti wosisii wɔn ntamadan, tenaa mmura no ho.
