< Exodus 14 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
BAWIPA nihai,
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.
Isarelnaw ban teh Pihahiroth khopui teng, Migedan khopui hoi tuipui rahak, Baalazephon khopui hmalah rim tuk hanlah dei pouh.
3 Pharaoh will conclude about the Israelites: ‘They're wandering about the country in confusion—the desert has blocked them from leaving.’
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Faro siangpahrang ni Isarelnaw teh khikpacu awh toe. Ramke um lam awm hoeh toe telah ati han.
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.
Kai ni hai Faro e lungthin ka pata sak vaiteh, ahni ni Isarelnaw a pâlei han. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie Izipnaw ni a panue nahanlah hote siangpahrang hoi a ransanaw lahoi ka bawilennae a kamnue han telah Mosi koe atipouh e patetlah ahnimanaw ni a sak awh.
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!”
Hote taminaw a yawng e kong Izip siangpahrang koe a thai sak awh navah, ahni koehoi a sannaw e lungthin bout a kamlang teh, maimouh ni hettelah sak awh teh Isarelnaw hah maimae thawtawknae koehoi bangkongmaw a hlout awh han telah ati awh.
6 So Pharaoh had his chariot made ready and set out with his army.
Hat navah, Siangpahrang ni rangleng coungkacoe a rakueng teh a taminaw hah akaw.
7 He took 600 of his best chariots along with all the other chariots of Egypt, each with their officer-in-charge.
Rangleng kahawi e cum taruk touh hoi Izip marangransanaw pueng hoi cungtalah, bawinaw pueng haiyah a ceikhai.
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.
BAWIPA ni Faro e lungthin bout a pata sak dawkvah, ahni ni Isarelnaw hah a pâlei awh. Hat ei, Isarelnaw teh kut dâw laihoi a cei awh.
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.
Hottelah, Faro siangpahrang e marangransanaw, rangleng ransanaw hoi Izip taminaw ni a pâlei awh teh, Pihahuroth khopui teng, Baalazephon khopui hmalah tuipui rai lah rim ka tuk e Isarelnaw hah a pha awh.
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.
Faro ni a hnai nah Isarelnaw ni a khet awh teh Izipnaw ni pâlei e a hmu awh navah, pueng hoi a taki awh dawkvah BAWIPA koe a hramki awh.
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?
Mosi koe hai, Izip ram dawk phuenmon ao hoeh dawkvah maw, hi ramke um due hanlah kaimouh na hrawi awh. Kaimouh koe hettelah na sak teh, Izip ram hoi bangkong na hrawi awh.
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!”
Kaimouh teh Izipnaw koe san lah kaawm awh yawkaw nei telah Izip ram vah ka dei awh navah, hete hno khet laihoi ka dei awh hoeh na maw. Kaimouh hete kahrawngum due hlak teh Izipnaw koe san lah o e heh ahawihnawn telah ati awh.
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 ni taket awh hanh. Lungmawngcalah awm awh. BAWIPA ni sahnin nangmouh hanlah rungngangnae a sak hane hah khenhaw. Sahnin nangmouh ni na hmu e Izipnaw heh bout na hmawt awh mahoeh toe.
14 The Lord is going to fight for you—you don't need to do anything.”
BAWIPA ni taran na tuk pouh han. Nangmanaw teh lungmawngcalah na o awh han telah taminaw koe a dei pouh.
15 The Lord told Moses, “Why are you crying out to me for help? Tell the Israelites to move forward.
BAWIPA ni bangkongmaw KAI na kaw awh. Isarelnaw hmalah cei hanlah dei pouh.
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.
Nang ni sonron na kut hoi tuipui van lah dâw nateh tuipui kâphi sak. Isarelnaw ni tui lungui, talai kaphui dawk a cei awh han.
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.
KAI ni Izipnaw e a lungthin ka pata sak vaiteh, ahnimouh ni na pâlei awh han. Faro siangpahrang hoi a bawinaw, marang, marangransanaw lahoi ka lentoenae a kamnue han.
18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain respect through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Hottelah, Faro siangpahrang hoi a marang, marangransanaw lahoi ka lentoenae a kamnue toteh, kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie hah Izipnaw ni a panue awh han telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.
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,
Hat navah, Isarelnaw e hmalah ka cet e Cathut e kalvantami ni a hnuk a pâlei teh, tâmai khom teh ahnimae hmalah hoi hnuklah a kampuen teh a kangdue.
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.
Hottelah, Izip ransanaw hoi Isarel ransanaw rahak a pha nah, Izipnaw koe kahmawt sak e tâmai lah ao teh, Isarelnaw koe teh angnae ka poe dawkvah karum tuettuet buet touh hoi buet touh kâhnai thai awh hoeh.
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,
Mosi ni tuipui lathueng a kut a dâw nah karum tuettuet BAWIPA ni Kanîtholae kahlî katang hoi tuipui hah hnuklah a pâban teh talai rem a phui sak.
22 and the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
Isarelnaw ni tuipui lungui talai dawk a cei awh teh, tui teh ahnimae avoilah aranglah talung tapang patetlah ao.
23 The Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen. They followed the Israelites into the sea.
Izipnaw, Faro siangpahrang ni a hrawi e marang, marangransanaw teh tuipui lungui a kâen awh.
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.
Amom vah BAWIPA ni Izip ransanaw hah hmaikhom hoi tâmai dawk hoi a khet teh a tarawk.
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!”
Ahnimae rangleng cei a ru nahanlah a khok a kâhlehlawk sak. Izipnaw ni hai Isarelnaw koehoi yawng awh leih sei, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe lahoi Izip taminaw a tuk, telah ati awh.
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.”
BAWIPA nihai, tuipui ni Izip taminaw, ranglengnaw, marangransanaw e lathueng vah tip sin hanelah, tupui lathueng na kut dâw atipouh e patetlah,
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.
Khodai toteh Mosi ni tuipui lathueng a kut a dâw teh, tuipui tui teh a thao teh bout a lawng. Izipnaw ni a yawng takhai ei, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh tuipui lungui vah a tâkhawng.
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.
Hottelah, tuipui tui teh bout a lawng teh tuipui dawk a bo toteh, Faro siangpahrang e rangleng, marangransanaw pueng teh muen a ramuk dawkvah buet touh hai hlout awh hoeh.
29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
Isarelnaw teh tuipui lungui talai kaphui dawk hoi a cei awh teh, tui teh ahnimae avoilah aranglah talung tapang patetlah ao.
30 The Lord saved the Israelites from the threat of the Egyptians—the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw teh Izipnaw e kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh tuipui rai lah Izipnaw e ronaw teh a hmu awh.
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.
Hottelah, BAWIPA ni Izipnaw koe hno ka len poung a sak e hah Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh navah, BAWIPA hah a taki awh. BAWIPA hoi a san Mosi hah a yuem awh.
