< Exodus 14 >

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
2 Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
“Uza Aisraeli abwerere ndi kukagona pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, pakati pa Migidoli ndi nyanja. Inu mumange zithando mʼmbali mwa nyanja moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
Farao adzaganiza kuti ‘Aisraeli asokonezeka nʼkumangozungulirazungulira mu dzikomo, chipululu chitawazinga.’
4 And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
Ndidzawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo adzathamangira Aisraeliwo. Choncho ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, Ine ndidzalemekezedwa.” Choncho Aisraeli aja anachita zimenezi.
5 Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
Farao, mfumu ya Igupto atamva kuti anthu aja athawa, iye pamodzi ndi nduna zake anasintha maganizo awo pa Israeli ndipo anati, “Ife tachita chiyani? Tawalola Aisraeli kuti apite ndi kuleka kutitumikira?”
6 And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
Choncho anakonzetsa galeta lake ndipo ananyamuka pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake.
7 And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
Iye anatenga magaleta 600 abwino kwambiri pamodzi ndi magaleta ena a dziko la Igupto. Anatenganso akuluakulu onse ankhondo.
8 (For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao mfumu ya dziko la Igupto, kotero iye anawathamangira Aisraeli amene ankachoka mʼdzikomo mosavutika.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Aigupto aja (kutanthauza akavalo ndi magaleta onse a Farao, okwera akavalowo pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo) analondola Aisraeli aja ndipo anakawapeza pamalo pamene anamanga zithando paja, mʼmbali mwa nyanja, pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
Tsono Farao anayandikira. Ndipo Aisraeli ataona kuti Aigupto akuwatsatira, anachita mantha aakulu ndipo anafuwula kwa Yehova.
11 And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
Iwo anafunsa Mose kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chakuti kunalibe manda ku dziko la Igupto kuti iwe utibweretse muno mʼchipululu kuti tidzafe? Chimene watichitachi nʼchiyani, kutitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto?
12 Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
Kodi sindizo zimene tinakuwuza mʼdziko la Igupto? Ife tinati, ‘Tileke titumikire Aigupto?’ Zikanatikomera kutumikira Aigupto kulekana ndi kufa mʼchipululu muno.”
13 Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
Mose anayankha anthu kuti, “Musachite mantha. Imani, ndipo muone chipulumutso chimene Yehova akuchitireni lero. Aigupto amene mukuwaona lerowa simudzawaonanso.
14 The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
Yehova adzakumenyerani nkhondo. Inu mungokhala chete.”
15 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Chifukwa chiyani ukufuwulira kwa ine? Uwuze Aisraeli aziyenda.
16 And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
Nyamula ndodo yako ndi kutambasula dzanja lako kuloza ku nyanja, kugawa madzi kuti Aisraeli awoloke powuma.
17 And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
Ine ndidzawumitsa mitima ya Aigupto kotero kuti adzatsatirabe Aisraeli. Ndipo ine ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi asilikali ake onse ankhondo, okwera magaleta ndi akavalo, ndidzapeza ulemerero.
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
Aigupto adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova akadzaona mmene ndipambanire Farao ndi magaleta ndi owayendetsa ake.”
19 (And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
Ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu amene amayenda patsogolo pa gulu lankhondo la Israeli anachoka ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo. Chipilala cha mtambo chinasunthanso kuchoka kutsogolo ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo.
20 And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
Choncho mtambowo unakhala pakati pa asilikali ankhondo a dziko la Igupto ndi a dziko la Israeli. Choncho panali mdima motero kuti magulu awiri ankhondowa sanathe kuyandikizana usiku wonse.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
Kenaka Mose anatambalitsa dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo Yehova pogwiritsa ntchito mphepo yamphamvu ya kummawa imene inawomba usiku wonse anabweza madzi ndi kuwumitsa nyanja ija. Choncho nyanja ija inagawanika.
22 Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
Ndipo Aisraeli anawoloka pakati pa nyanja powuma, madzi atasanduka khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
Aigupto onse, Farao, ndi onse okwera pa magaleta ndi akavalo anawalondola ndipo analowa mʼmadzi.
24 Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
Kutatsala pangʼono kucha, Yehova ali mu chipilala chamoto ndi chamtambo, anayangʼana asilikali ankhondo a Igupto ndipo anabweretsa chisokonezo pakati pawo.
25 For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
Yehova anamanga matayala a magaleta kotero kuti ankavutika kuyenda. Ndipo Aigupto anati, “Tiyeni tiwathawe Aisraeli! Yehova akuwamenyera nkhondo kulimbana nafe.”
26 Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasula dzanja lako pa nyanja kuti madzi amize Aigupto ndi magaleta awo ndi okwera pa akavalo.”
27 Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
Mose anatambasula dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo mmene kumacha nyanja inabwerera mʼmalo mwake. Aigupto pothawa anakumana nayo, ndipo Yehova anawakokera mʼnyanja momwemo.
28 So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
Madzi anabwerera ndi kumiza magaleta ndi okwera akavalo, asilikali ankhondo onse amene anatsatira Aisraeli mʼnyanja, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anapulumuka.
29 But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
Koma Aisraeli aja anawoloka nyanja pansi pali powuma, madzi atachita khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo.
30 Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
Tsiku limeneli Yehova anapulumutsa Israeli mʼmanja mwa Aigupto ndipo Israeli anaona Aigupto ali lambalamba mʼmbali mwa nyanja atafa
31 And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
Choncho Aisraeli anaona dzanja lamphamvu la Yehova limene linagonjetsa Aigupto aja, ndipo iwo anaopa Yehova ndi kumukhulupirira pamodzi ndi mtumiki wake Mose.
