< 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.
Afei, Mose ne Israelfoɔ too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom mama Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, wadi nkonim animuonyam mu; Wato ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ no agu ɛpo 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 nkwagyeɛ. Ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Onyankopɔn—Mɛma no so.
3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofoɔ; Aane, 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 nʼakodɔm, wato wɔn agu Ama wɔamem Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofoɔ atitire awuwu asorɔkye ase.
5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.
Nsuo akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem subunu mu sɛ ɛboɔ.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, tumi ne animuonyam ahyɛ no ma. Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, atete atamfoɔ 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 kɛseɛ no mu, wotuu wɔn a wɔtia wo no guiɛ. Womaa wʼabufuhyeɛ bɛhyee wɔn sɛ ogya hye ɛserɛ.
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.
Wogu ahome a, nsuo mu pae. Ɛgyinaa sɛ afasuo ma ɛpo taa ɛfa ne ɛfa.
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.’
Ɔtamfoɔ de ahomasoɔ kaeɛ sɛ, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Na makyɛ afodeɛ no mu. Mɛtwe mʼakofena wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasini.’
10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa maa ɛpo kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subunu no mu.
11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?
Hwan na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hwan na ɔte sɛ wo? Ɔberempɔn wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; deɛ yɛde surokronkron ma nʼanimuonyam, na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛyɛfoɔ Onyankopɔn.
12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.
“Wotenee 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 wogyee wɔn no anim, wʼayamyɛ mu. Wonam anwanwakwan so adi wɔn anim de wɔn aba wʼasase kronkron no so.
14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Amanaman tee asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ma wɔn ho popoeɛ. Ehu aka 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 mpanimfoɔ ho adwiri wɔn. Atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab ho woso. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa abɔ 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 afa wɔn so. Ao, Awurade, wo tumi enti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfoɔ a wotɔɔ wɔn bɛtwa wɔn ho asomdwoeɛ 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 abɛdua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔ so, wo ara wo efie hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.
“Awurade bɛdi ɔhene akɔsi 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, nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa ɛpo no mu; nanso, Awurade buu nsuo afasuo no guu wɔn so ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ no nam mu sɛ asase wesee no.
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 Odiyifoɔ baa Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabaa faa twene bi bɔ de dii mmaa no anim ma wɔsaeɛ.
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 animuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ amem ɛpo 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 Israelfoɔ no anim ne wɔn tu firii Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur ɛserɛ so. Na wɔnantee ɛserɛ no so nnansa a wɔannya nsuo 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.
Wɔduruu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsuo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ nwono. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; aseɛ ne: Nwononwono.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”
Afei, nnipa no danee wɔn ani tiaa Mose sɛ, “Osukɔm nku yɛn anaa?”
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 dua bi. Na ɔtoo dubaa no too nsuo no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wɔtumi nomeeɛ. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn sɛ,
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 mobɛtie Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ ɔsetie, ayɛ ade tenenee deɛ a, yadeɛ a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfoɔ no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, 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 nsubura dumienu ne mmɛdua aduɔson wɔ enti, wɔsisii wɔn ntomadan, tenaa nsubura no ho.
