< Exodus 14 >
Angraengh mah Mosi khaeah,
2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and set up camp near Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to camp beside the sea, opposite Baal-zephon.
Israel kaminawk khaeah, Migdol vangpui hoi tuipui salak, Baal-Zephon vangpui taeng, tuipui taeng Pi-Hahiroth ah amlaem oh loe, tuipui taengah atai o han, thui paeh.
3 Pharaoh will conclude about the Israelites: ‘They're wandering about the country in confusion—the desert has blocked them from leaving.’
Faro mah Israel kaminawk kawng pongah, Nihcae loe saoeng ah raihaih tongh o, praezaek mah pakaa khoep boeh, tiah thui tih.
4 I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude so that he will chase after them to get them back. But I will gain respect through what happens to Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did as they were instructed.
Faro to palung ka thahsak moe, nihcae ka patomsak let han; toe Faro hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk nuiah, ka lensawkhaih to kam tuengsak han; to naah Izip kaminawk mah kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tito panoek o tih, tiah a naa. To pongah Israel kaminawk mah to tiah sak o.
5 When the king of Egypt found out that the Israelites had left in a hurry, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about what had happened and said, “What have we done? We have let all these Israelite slaves go!”
Kaminawk cawnh o boih boeh, tiah Izip siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae o naah, Faro hoi a tamnanawk loe uthaih palungthin to tawnh o moe, kaminawk khaeah, Tikhoe hae tiah na sak o moe, aicae han toksah Israel kaminawk to na tacawt o sak boih loe? tiah a naa o.
6 So Pharaoh had his chariot made ready and set out with his army.
To pongah angmah ih hrang leeng to suek coek moe, angmah ih kaminawk to nawnto a caeh haih;
7 He took 600 of his best chariots along with all the other chariots of Egypt, each with their officer-in-charge.
kahoih koek hrang leeng cumvai tarukto a lak moe, Izip prae ih hrang angthueng kaminawk, misatuh angraengnawk to a kawk.
8 The Lord gave Pharaoh, king of Egypt, a stubborn attitude so he chased after the Israelites, who were leaving with their fists raised in triumph.
Angraeng mah Izip siangpahrang, Faro ih palung to thahsak pongah, anih mah Israel kaminawk to patom; toe Israel kaminawk loe amoekhaih hoiah caeh o.
9 The Egyptians set out in pursuit—all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and soldiers. They caught up with the Israelites while they were camped beside the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
Izip kaminawk, Faro ih hrangnawk hoi hrang leengnawk, hrang angthueng kaminawk hoi misatuh kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to patom o moe, Bal-Zephon hmaa ih, vapui taeng Pi-Hariroth ah anghak o naah a kae o.
10 The Israelites looked back and saw Pharaoh and the Egyptian army approaching. They were absolutely terrified and cried out to the Lord for help.
Israel kaminawk mah doeng o naah, Faro loe anghnai daek ah phak boeh; to naah Izip kaminawk mah nihcae patom boeh, tito panoek o, Israel kaminawk loe paroeai zit o moe, Angraeng khaeah hangh o.
11 They complained to Moses, “Were there no graves in Egypt that you had to bring us out here in the desert to die? What have you done to us by making us leave Egypt?
Israel caanawk mah Mosi khaeah, Izip prae ah taprong om ai pongah maw, duek hanah praezaek ah nang caeh haih? Tipongah hae tiah sak hanah, Izip prae thung hoi nang caeh haih loe?
12 Didn't we tell you back in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we can go on being slaves to the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to be Egyptian slaves than to die here in the desert!”
Izip prae ah, Na caeh o taak ah, kaicae loe Izip kaminawk ih tok to ka sak pae o halat han boeh, tiah kang thuih o na ai maw? Praezaek ah ka duek o pongah loe, Izip kaminawk ih toksak to kaicae han hoih kue, tiah a naa o.
13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand where you are and you will see how the Lord will save you today. The Egyptians you see right now, you will never see again!
Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Zii o hmah, kacakah angdoe oh, vaihni ah Angraeng mah nangcae hnuksak han ih, pahlonghaih to khen oh; vaihni ah na hnuk o ih Izip kaminawk loe, dungzan khoek to na hnu o let mak ai boeh.
14 The Lord is going to fight for you—you don't need to do anything.”
Nangcae loe anghngai o duem ah, Angraeng mah nangcae han misa na tuh pae tih, tiah a naa.
15 The Lord told Moses, “Why are you crying out to me for help? Tell the Israelites to move forward.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Tipongah kai khaeah na hang o loe? Israel kaminawk khaeah hmabang caeh o poe hanah thui pae oh;
16 You are to pick up your walking stick and hold it out in your hand over the sea. Divide it so the Israelites can walk through the sea on dry ground.
toe na cunghet to phok tahang ah, tuipui nuiah na ban to payang ah loe, tuipui to pakhoih ah; to naah Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah saoeng baktiah caeh o tih.
17 I will give Egyptians a stubborn, hard-hearted attitude so that they will chase in after them. Then I will gain respect through what happens to Pharaoh and all his army, chariots, and horsemen.
Khenah, nihcae mah nangcae patom o hanah, Izip kaminawk to palung ka thahsak han; Faro hoi angmah ih misatuh kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk boih nuiah, ka lensawkhaih to amtueng tih.
18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain respect through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Faro hoi angmah ih hrang leeng, anih ih hrang angthueng kaminawk nuiah ka lensawkhaih to kam tuengsak naah, Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tito Izip kaminawk mah panoek o tih, tiah a naa.
19 The angel of God, who had been leading the Israelites, moved behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front of them and stood behind them,
Israel misatuh kaminawk ataihaih hmaa ah kacaeh, Sithaw ih van kami loe amlaem moe, nihcae hnuk ah a caeh; nihcae hmaa ah kacaeh tamai tung doeh nihcae hnukbang ah angdoet sut;
20 so that it was positioned between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. Though the cloud was in darkness on one side, but it lit up the night on the other. No one from either camp went near the other during the night.
Izip misatuh kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen hoi Israel kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen salakah a caeh; tamai loe maeto hanah vinghaih ah oh moe, maeto hanah loe aanghaih ah oh pongah, nihcae loe aqum puek maeto hoi maeto khaeah caeh o thai ai.
21 Then Moses held out his hand over the sea, and all through the night the Lord forced the sea back with a strong east wind, and turned the bottom of the sea into dry land. So the water was divided,
To pacoengah Mosi mah tuipui bangah ban to payangh, to naah Angraeng mah aqum puek ni angyae bang hoiah takhi kaham to songsak, tui to saoeng ah angcoengsak moe, tui to hnetto ah amkhoih.
22 and the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah, saoeng ih lam caeh baktih toengah a caeh o; tui loe banqoi bantang im tapang baktiah oh.
23 The Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen. They followed the Israelites into the sea.
Izip kaminawk loe Faro ih hrang, hrang leeng, hrang angthueng kaminawk hoiah nihcae to patom o moe, tuipui um li ah a caeh o.
24 But at the end of the night the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw them into a panic.
Akhawnbang ah loe Angraeng mah tamai hmai thung hoiah Izip misatuh kaminawk to khet tathuk, to naah Izip misatuh kaminawk to raihaih paek.
25 He made their chariot wheels get stuck so it was hard for them to drive. The Egyptians shouted out, “Retreat! We must run from the Israelites because the Lord is fighting for them against us!”
Hrang leeng caeh thaih han ai ah, hrang leeng khoknawk to angmongsak boih; to naah Izip kaminawk mah, Israel kaminawk khae hoi cawn o ving si boeh; Angraeng mah hae kaminawk hanah Izip kaminawk to misa tuk pae boeh, tiah a thuih o.
26 Then the Lord told Moses, “Hold out your hand over the sea, so that the water will pour back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Izip kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk nuiah, tui angcuu let moe, khuk hmoek hanah, tuipui nuiah na ban to payangh ah, tiah a naa.
27 So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea returned to normal. As the Egyptians retreated, the Lord swept them into the sea.
Mosi mah tuipui nuiah a ban to payangh; akhawnbang ah loe tuipui kathuk ah tui to angcuu let; Izip kaminawk loe cawnh o; toe Angraeng mah Izip kaminawk to tuipui um ah uemsak king.
28 The water poured back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the whole of Pharaoh's army that had chased after the Israelites into the sea. Not a single one of them survived.
Tui loe angcuu let moe, Nihcae patom Faro ih misatuh kaminawk, hrang leengnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk to uem boih; kami maeto doeh anghmat o ai.
29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
Toe Israel kaminawk loe tuipui um li ah saoeng baktiah caeh o poe; tui loe nihcae han banqoi bantang im tapang baktiah oh.
30 The Lord saved the Israelites from the threat of the Egyptians—the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
To na niah Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk to Izip kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong; tuipui taengah kadueh Izip kaminawk ih qok to Israel kaminawk mah hnuk o.
31 When the Israelites saw the great power that the Lord had used against the Egyptians, they were in awe of the Lord, and they trusted in him and in his servant Moses.
Izip kaminawk nuiah Angraeng mah kalen parai toksakhaih to amtuengsak, tito Israel kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, Angraeng to zit o moe, Angraeng hoi a tamna Mosi nuiah tanghaih to tawnh o.
