< Exodus 14 >
1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis,
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.
“Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha chigharịa azụ jee maa ụlọ ikwu ha na ncherita ihu Pi Hahirot, nke dị nʼetiti Migdol na osimiri. Ọ bụ nʼakụkụ osimiri, na ncherita ihu obodo Baal-Zefọn ka ha ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
Fero ga-asị banyere ụmụ Izrel, ‘Ha na-awagharị gburugburu ala ahụ nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya ebe ọzara riri ha.’
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.
Aga m eme ka obi Fero sie ike ka ọ chụso unu ọsọ nʼazụ, ma m ga-ewetara onwe m otuto site na Fero na ndị agha ya niile. Ndị Ijipt niile ga-ama na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.” Ndị Izrel mekwara otu ahụ.
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?
Mgbe a gwara eze Ijipt na ndị a agbaala ọsọ, obi Fero na ndị ozi ya gbanwere megide ndị Izrel. Ha sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe anyị mere, site na izipụ ndị Izrel nʼọrụ ife anyị?”
6 And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
Na-atụfughị oge, Fero rigoro nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya, duru ndị agha ya ịchụso ha.
7 And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
Ọ chịịrị ụgbọ agha dị narị isii e leziri anya họpụta, tinyere ụgbọ agha Ijipt niile. Ndịisi agha ndị Ijipt nọcha nʼelu ha niile.
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)
Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero eze Ijipt sie ike. Ọ chụsoro ụmụ Izrel, ndị na-aga nʼihu nʼije ha, na-atụghị egwu maọbụ ịda mba.
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.
Ndị Ijipt chụsoro ha ọsọ, ịnyịnya Fero na ụgbọ agha, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya na ndị agha ndị ọzọ chụsoro ndị Izrel ọsọ chụkwute ha nʼebe ha na-ezu ike nʼakụkụ osimiri dị nso na Pi Hahirot na ncherita ihu Baal-Zefọn.
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.
Mgbe ndị agha Fero na-abịa nso, ndị Izrel lere anya nʼazụ, hụ ndị Ijipt ka ha na-abịa nso. Ha tụrụ egwu, tie mkpu akwa, kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị.
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?
Ha jụrụ Mosis sị, “Ọ bụ na o nweghị ili dị nʼala Ijipt, i ji kwagide anyị ka anyị niile bịa nwụọ nʼebe a nʼọzara? Gịnị mere i ji kwagide anyị ka anyị hapụ Ijipt?
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.
Ọ bụ na anyị agwaghị gị nʼala Ijipt si gị, ‘Hapụ anyị ka anyị nọgide na-ejere ndị Ijipt ozi?’ Ọ gara akara anyị mma ị bụ ohu ndị Ijipt karịa ịnwụ nʼọzara.”
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.
Mosis zaghachiri ha sị, “Unu atụla egwu. Guzosienụ ike. Unu ga-ahụ ụzọ dị ebube Onyenwe anyị ga-esi zọpụta unu taa. Ndị Ijipt a unu na-ahụ taa, unu agaghị ahụkwa ha ọzọ.
14 The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
Nọrọnụ jii. Onyenwe anyị ga-alụrụ unu ọgụ.”
15 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-akpọku m. Gwa ụmụ Izrel ka ha gaa nʼihu.
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.
Welie mkpanaka gị elu. Setịpụ ya nʼelu osimiri ahụ ka o kewaa abụọ. Ụzọ ga-adịkwa nʼetiti osimiri ahụ. Ụmụ Izrel ga-esitekwa nʼala akọrọ gafee.
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.
Aga m eme ka obi ndị Ijipt sie ike, ka ha sorokwa unu nʼazụ banye. Aga m ewetara onwe m otuto site na Fero, na ndị agha niile, na ụgbọ agha niile nakwa ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.
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.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị Ijipt ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. M ga-enweta nsọpụrụ site na Fero, na ụgbọ agha ya niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi Chineke, onye na-aga nʼihu ndị agha Izrel, sitere nʼihu pụọ gaa nọdụ nʼazụ ha. Otu a kwa, ogidi igwe ojii ahụ sitere nʼihu gaa nʼazụ ha.
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)
Nke a mere ka ogidi igwe ojii ahụ dịrị nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel na ndị Ijipt. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ogidi igwe ojii ahụ nye ụmụ Izrel ìhè, ma ndị Ijipt nọgidere nʼọchịchịrị. Otu a, ndị Ijipt enweghị ike bịarute nʼebe ụmụ Izrel nọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis setịpụrụ aka ya nʼelu Osimiri Uhie ahụ. Onyenwe anyị ji oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nke fere nʼabalị ahụ niile, nughachi osimiri ahụ, mee ka osimiri ahụ kebie ụzọ abụọ, ka ụzọ pụta nʼala osimiri ahụ.
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.
Ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼetiti osimiri ahụ gafee. Mmiri osimiri ahụ ghọọrọ mgbidi nʼaka nri ha ma nʼaka ekpe ha.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
Mgbe ndị agha Ijipt na-achụ ha ọsọ hụrụ ha ka ha na-agafe, ha sogidere ha baa, ọ bụladị nʼetiti osimiri ahụ. Ndị agha Ijipt niile sooro ha, ya bụ, ụgbọ agha Fero, ndị agha ya na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya niile.
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.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Onyenwe anyị ledatara anya site nʼogidi igwe ojii ahụ na-enye ihe. O legidere ndị agha Ijipt anya, tinyekwa ha ụjọ nʼobi nke mere na ha amakwaghị onwe ha.
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.
O mebiri ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha mee ka o siere ịnyịnya ha ike ịdọkpụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ndị Ijipt kwuru sị, “Ka anyị sinụ nʼịchụ ndị Izrel gbapụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-alụrụ ha ọgụ, na-emegidekwa anyị.”
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.
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel gafesịrị ruo nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Setịpụ aka gị ọzọ ka mmiri ahụ kpuchigide ndị Ijipt, na ụgbọ agha ha niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ya.”
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.
Mosis setịpụrụ aka nʼelu osimiri ahụ. Nʼụtụtụ ya, mmiri osimiri ahụ sọghachiri gaa ebe ọ nọ na mbụ. Ndị Ijipt chọsịrị ụzọ ha si agbapụ ike, ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka osimiri ahụ kpuchie ha.
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.
Osimiri ahụ kpuchigidere ụgbọ agha ha niile, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya, na ndị agha Fero niile ndị chụụrụ ụmụ Izrel baa nʼime osimiri ahụ. O nweghị otu onye nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ.
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.
Ma ụmụ Izrel esitelarị nʼala nke mmiri kọrọ gafee osimiri ahụ. Mgbe ha na-agafekwa, akụkụ abụọ nke osimiri ahụ guzoro ọtọ dịka mgbidi, nʼaka nri ha ma nʼaka ekpe ha.
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.
Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, Onyenwe anyị zọpụtara ụmụ Izrel site nʼaka ndị Ijipt. Ụmụ Izrel hụkwara ozu ndị Ijipt nʼikpere mmiri osimiri ahụ.
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.
Ụmụ Izrel tụrụ egwu Onyenwe anyị mgbe ha hụrụ ihe ịrịbama ndị a Onyenwe anyị ji zọpụta ha site nʼaka ndị Ijipt. Ha kwenyere na Onyenwe anyị, kwenyekwa na Mosis ohu ya.
