Exodus 14
1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
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.
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete bazonga mpe batonga molako pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti, kati ya Migidoli mpe ebale monene. Batonga yango etalana na Bala-Tsefoni pembeni ya ebale monene.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
Faraon akokanisa ete bana ya Isalaele babungi na mokili, esobe ekangi bango.
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.
Nakokomisa motema ya Faraon libanga, mpe ye akolanda bango; kasi nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai, nakotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye; bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. » Bana ya Isalaele basalaki bongo.
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?
Tango bayebisaki mokonzi ya Ejipito ete bana ya Isalaele bakimi, Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye babongolaki makanisi na bango mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe balobaki: « Likambo nini oyo tosali? Totiki Isalaele kokende mpe tozangeli bato oyo bakoki kosalela biso! »
6 And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
Boye Faraon azwaki shar oyo ezalaki ya kobombama mpe azwaki mampinga na ye elongo na ye.
7 And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
Akamataki bashar nkama motoba oyo eleki malamu elongo na bashar nyonso ya Ejipito; shar moko na moko ezalaki na basoda misato.
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)
Yawe akomisaki motema ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, libanga mpo ete alanda bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kotambola na bonsomi nyonso.
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.
Bato ya Ejipito, bampunda nyonso ya Faraon mpe shar mosusu ya Faraon elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango mpe mampinga mosusu ya Faraon balandaki bana ya Isalaele mpe bazwaki bango tango batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Pi-Ayiroti oyo etalana na Bala-Tsefoni.
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.
Lokola Faraon apusanaki, bana ya Isalaele batombolaki miso na bango mpe bamonaki ete bato ya Ejipito bazali kolanda bango na sima. Bana ya Isalaele babangaki makasi mpe bagangaki epai na Yawe.
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?
Balobaki na Moyize: — Boni, ezali mpo ete malita ezali te na Ejipito, yango wana omemi biso mpo ete tokufa na esobe? Osali biso nini awa obimisi biso na Ejipito?
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.
Toyebisaki yo te tango tozalaki na Ejipito: « Tika biso kimia, tika biso tosalela bato ya Ejipito? » Pamba te elekaki malamu mpo na biso kosalela bato ya Ejipito na esika ya kokufa na esobe.
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.
Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te, boyika mpiko! Bokomona kokangolama oyo Yawe akomemela bino lelo; bato ya Ejipito oyo bozali komona lelo, bokotikala komona bango lisusu te.
14 The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
Yawe akobunda mpo na bino, mpe bino bovanda kimia.
15 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mpo na nini ozali koganga boye epai na Ngai? Loba na bana ya Isalaele ete batambola.
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.
Kasi yo, tombola lingenda na yo, sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpe kabola mayi mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bakoka kokatisa ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka.
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.
Bongo Ngai, nakoyeisa motema ya bato ya Ejipito libanga mpo ete balanda bino mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon mpe mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
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.
Bongo bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na kotelemela Faraon, bashar na ye mpe bato na ye oyo batambolisaka bampunda.
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,
Anjelu na Nzambe oyo azalaki kotambola liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele azongaki sima na bango, mpe likonzi ya lipata elongwaki liboso na bango mpo ete etelema sima na bango.
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)
Likonzi ya lipata etelemaki kati ya mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bana ya Isalaele. Likonzi ya lipata epesaki molili na ngambo moko mpe engengisaki ngambo mosusu; yango wana butu mobimba, bato ya Ejipito bakokaki kopusana te pembeni ya bana ya Isalaele.
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.
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene; bongo na butu mobimba, Yawe atindaki na ebale monene mopepe makasi ya este oyo ekabolaki mayi ya ebale monene.
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.
Bato ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
Bato ya Ejipito balandaki bango mpe bango nyonso bakotaki kati na ebale monene: bampunda nyonso ya Faraon, bashar na ye mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
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.
Liboso ete tongo etana, Yawe atelemaki na likolo ya likonzi ya moto mpe ya lipata, atalaki mampinga ya bato ya Ejipito mpe akotisaki mobulu kati na yango.
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.
Alongolaki bapine na bashar na bango mpo ete bamona pasi mpo na kokumba. Boye bato ya Ejipito balobaki: — Tokima mosika ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Yawe azali kobundela bango liboso na biso.
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.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo ya ebale monene mpo ete mayi ezonga mpe ekweyela bato ya Ejipito, bashar na bango mpe batambolisi ya bampunda.
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.
Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo ya ebale monene, mpe liboso ete tongo etana, ebale monene ezongaki na esika na yango mpe bato ya Ejipito oyo balukaki kokima, bakutanaki na mayi liboso na bango. Boye Yawe azindisaki bango kati na ebale monene.
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.
Mayi ezongaki mpe ezipaki bashar elongo na batambolisi ya bampunda mpe mampinga ya Faraon oyo elandaki bana ya Isalaele kati na ebale monene. Moko te kati na bango abikaki.
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.
Kasi bana ya Isalaele batambolaki na ebale monene lokola na mabele ya kokawuka. Mayi etelemaki lokola mir na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mwasi.
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.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe abikisaki bana ya Isalaele liboso ya bato ya Ejipito mpe bana ya Isalaele bamonaki bibembe ya bato ya Ejipito etandami na libongo ya ebale monene.
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.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki nguya monene oyo Yawe atalisaki liboso ya bato ya Ejipito, babangaki Yawe mpe batiaki elikya na bango kati na Ye mpe kati na mosali na Ye Moyize.
