< Exodus 15 >
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Lè sa a, Moyiz ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo chante yon chante pou Seyè a. Men sa chante a di: -M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li genyen batay la. Li voye chwal yo ak tout kavalye yo jete nan lanmè.
2 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will glorify him; My father's God, and I will extol him.
Seyè a, se tout fòs mwen. Se pou li m'ap chante. Se li menm ki delivre m'. Se Bondye mwen li ye, m'ap fè lwanj li. Se Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap di jan li gen pouvwa.
3 Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.
Seyè a, se yon vanyan sòlda. Se Seyè yo rele l'.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
Li voye cha farawon yo ansanm ak tout lame l' a jete nan lanmè. Li fè pi bon sòlda li yo mouri neye nan lanmè Wouj la.
5 The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.
Lanm lanmè a kouvri yo. Yo fè fon tankou ròch.
6 Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou se kokenn zafè! Seyè, fòs bra dwat ou kraze lènmi an!
7 And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.
Jan ou gen anpil pouvwa sa a, Seyè! Ou kraze moun k'ap goumen avè ou yo. Ou fè yon sèl kòlè, ou boule yo tankou dife nan pay.
8 And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Nan kolè ou, ou soufle. Souf ou fè dlo a ranmase kò l'. Lanm yo kanpe dwat tankou yon miray. Dlo a vin di nan mitan lanmè a.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.
Lènmi an te di: M'ap kouri dèyè yo, m'ap pran yo. M'ap separe tout richès yo, m'ap pran tou sa m' vle. M'ap rale nepe mwen, avèk fòs ponyèt mwen, m'ap disparèt yo.
10 Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Ou annik fè yon ti van leve, lanmè a kouvri yo. Lanmè a te move, yo desann nan fon tankou plon.
11 Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
Seyè, nan tout bondye yo, kilès ki tankou ou! Pouvwa ou fè yo respekte ou! Ou se Bondye ki apa nèt! Kilès ki tankou ou? Ou menm ki fè mirak, ou menm ki fè mèvèy pou fè moun pè! Kilès ki tankou ou?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Ou annik lonje men dwat ou, tè a vale yo tou vivan.
13 Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.
Paske ou gen bon kè, ou mennen pèp ou delivre a, avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou mennen yo nan peyi ki apa pou ou a.
14 The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
Lòt pèp yo pran nouvèl sa ki pase, yo pran tranble tèlman yo pè. Yon sèl vant fè mal pran moun Filisti yo.
15 Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
Ata chèf peyi Edon yo te pè anpil. Vanyan gason peyi Moab yo pran tranble. Tout moun nan peyi Kanaran pèdi kouraj.
16 Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.
Yon sèl kè kase, yon sèl sezisman pran yo. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou fè yo rete rèd san yo pa kapab fè anyen. Ou fè yo rete konsa jouk pèp ou a fin pase, Seyè, wi, jouk pèp ou delivre a fin pase!
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.
Wa mennen yo, w'a plante yo sou mòn ki pou ou a, Seyè, sou mòn kote ou pare pou kay ou a, kay ou bati pou ou a, Seyè.
18 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!
Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
Chwal farawon yo ansanm ak tout cha ak kavalye yo te tonbe nan lanmè. Seyè a fè dlo a tounen nan plas li. Dlo a kouvri yo tout. Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm te mache nan fon lanmè a tankou sou tè sèk.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours and with dances.
Miryam, sè Arawon an, te yon pwofèt. Li pran yon tanbouren nan men l', tout medam yo t'ap mache dèyè l', yo t'ap bat tanbouren, yo t'ap danse.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Miryam t'ap chante pou yo, li t'ap di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Annou chante pou Seyè a! Paske li genyen yon bèl batay! Li voye chwal yo jete nan fon lanmè ak tout kavalye yo sou yo.
22 And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Moyiz fè moun Izrayèl yo pati kite bò lanmè Wouj la. Yo mete tèt yo sou bò dezè Chou a. Yo t'ap mache depi twa jou nan dezè a san yo pa jwenn gout dlo pou yo bwè.
23 And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Yo rive yon kote ki rele Mara. Men, yo pa t' kapab bwè dlo ki te la a, paske li te twò anmè. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote a Mara.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Pèp la pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz nan dezè a. Yo mande l': -Atò, kisa pou nou bwè koulye a?
25 And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.
Moyiz rele Seyè a, li lapriyè nan pye l'. Seyè a moutre l' yon kalite pyebwa. Moyiz lage branch bwa a nan dlo a, dlo a vin dous. Se la Seyè a te ba yo lòd ak regleman pou yo swiv. Se la li t'ap chache sonde yo.
26 And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.
Li di yo: -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou koute m' lè m' pale nou, si nou fè tout sa ki dwat devan mwen, si nou louvri zòrèy nou pou swiv kòmandman mwen yo, pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou, mwen p'ap voye malè sou nou, jan mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap geri nou.
27 And they came to Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
Apre sa, yo rive Elim, yon kote ki te gen douz sous dlo ak swasanndis pye dat. Yo rete la, yo moute tant yo bò dlo a.
