Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song vnto the Lord, and sayd in this maner, I will sing vnto the Lord: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowen in the Sea.
Ndipo Mose na Waisraeli wakamwimbia Bwana wimbo huu: “Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa ametukuzwa sana. Farasi na mpanda farasi amewatosa baharini.
2 The Lord is my strength and praise, and he is become my saluation. He is my God, and I will prepare him a tabernacle. he is my fathers God, and I will exalt him.
Bwana ni nguvu zangu na wimbo wangu; amekuwa wokovu wangu. Yeye ni Mungu wangu, nami nitamsifu, Mungu wa baba yangu, nami nitamtukuza.
3 The Lord is a man of warre, his Name is Iehouah.
Bwana ni shujaa wa vita; Bwana ndilo jina lake.
4 Pharaohs charets and his host hath he cast into the Sea: his chosen captaines also were drowned in the red Sea.
Magari ya vita ya Farao na jeshi lake amewatosa baharini. Maafisa wa Farao walio bora sana wamezamishwa katika Bahari ya Shamu.
5 The depths haue couered them, they sanke to the bottome as a stone.
Maji yenye kina yamewafunika, wamezama mpaka vilindini kama jiwe.
6 Thy right hande, O Lord, is glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath brused the enemie.
“Mkono wako wa kuume, Ee Bwana ulitukuka kwa uweza. Mkono wako wa kuume, Ee Bwana, ukamponda adui.
7 And in thy great glorie thou hast ouerthrowen them that rose against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as the stubble.
Katika ukuu wa utukufu wako, ukawaangusha chini wale waliokupinga. Uliachia hasira yako kali, ikawateketeza kama kapi.
8 And by the blast of thy nostrels the waters were gathered, the floods stoode still as an heape, the depthes congealed together in the heart of the Sea.
Kwa pumzi ya pua zako maji yalijilundika. Mawimbi ya maji yakasimama imara kama ukuta, vilindi vikagandamana ndani ya moyo wa bahari.
9 The enemie sayd, I wil pursue, I wil ouertake them, I will deuide the spoyle, my lust shall bee satisfied vpon them, I will drawe my sworde, mine hand shall destroy them.
“Adui alijivuna, ‘Nitawafuatia, nitawapata. Nitagawanya nyara; nitajishibisha kwa wao. Nitafuta upanga wangu na mkono wangu utawaangamiza.’
10 Thou blewest with thy winde, the Sea couered them, they sanke as leade in the mightie waters.
Lakini ulipuliza kwa pumzi yako, bahari ikawafunika. Wakazama kama risasi kwenye maji makuu.
11 Who is like vnto thee, O Lord, among the Gods! who is like thee so glorious in holinesse, fearefull in prayses, doing wonders!
“Ni nani miongoni mwa miungu aliye kama wewe, Ee Bwana? Ni nani kama Wewe: uliyetukuka katika utakatifu, utishaye katika utukufu, ukitenda maajabu?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hande, the earth swallowed them.
Uliunyoosha mkono wako wa kuume na nchi ikawameza.
13 Thou wilt by thy mercie cary this people, which thou deliueredst: thou wilt bring them in thy strength vnto thine holy habitation.
“Katika upendo wako usiokoma utawaongoza watu uliowakomboa. Katika nguvu zako utawaongoza mpaka makao yako matakatifu.
14 The people shall heare and be afraide: sorow shall come vpon the inhabitants of Palestina.
Mataifa watasikia na kutetemeka, uchungu utawakamata watu wa Ufilisti.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shalbe amased, and trembling shall come vpon the great men of Moab: all the inhabitantes of Canaan shall waxe faint hearted.
Wakuu wa Edomu wataogopa, viongozi wa Moabu watatetemeka kwa hofu, watu wa Kanaani watayeyuka,
16 Feare and dread shall fall vpon them: because of the greatnesse of thine arme, they shalbe stil as a stone, till thy people passe, O Lord: til this people passe, which thou hast purchased.
vitisho na hofu vitawaangukia. Kwa nguvu ya mkono wako watatulia kama jiwe, mpaka watu wako waishe kupita, Ee Bwana, mpaka watu uliowanunua wapite.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountaine of thine inheritance, which is the place that thou hast prepared, O Lord, for to dwell in, euen the sanctuarie, O Lord, which thine hands shall establish.
Utawaingiza na kuwapandikiza juu ya mlima wa urithi wako: hapo mahali, Ee Bwana, ulipopafanya kuwa makao yako, mahali patakatifu, Ee Bwana, ulipopajenga kwa mikono yako.
18 The Lord shall reigne for euer and euer.
Bwana atatawala milele na milele.”
19 For Pharaohs horses went with his charets and horsemen into the Sea, and the Lord brought the waters of the Sea vpon them: but the children of Israel went on drie land in the middes of the Sea.
Farasi wa Farao, magari yake ya vita na wapanda farasi wake walipoingia baharini, Bwana aliyarudisha maji ya bahari yakawafunika, lakini wana wa Israeli walipita baharini mahali pakavu.
20 And Miriam the prophetesse, sister of Aaron tooke a timbrell in her hande, and all the women came out after her with timbrels and daunces.
Kisha Miriamu yule nabii mke, ndugu yake Aroni, akachukua matari mkononi mwake na wanawake wote wakamfuata na matari yao wakicheza.
21 And Miriam answered the men, Sing yee vnto the Lord: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath hee ouerthrowen in the Sea.
Miriamu akawaimbia: “Mwimbieni Bwana, kwa maana ametukuka sana. Farasi na mpanda farasi amewatosa baharini.”
22 Then Moses brought Israel from the redde Sea, and they went out into the wildernesse of Shur: and they went three dayes in the wildernesse, and found no waters.
Kisha Mose akawaongoza Israeli kutoka Bahari ya Shamu na kuingia katika Jangwa la Shuri. Kwa siku tatu walisafiri jangwani bila kupata maji.
23 And whe they came to Marah, they could not drinke of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of the place was called Marah.
Walipofika Mara, hawakuweza kunywa maji yake kwa sababu yalikuwa machungu. (Ndiyo sababu mahali hapo panaitwa Mara)
24 Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drinke?
Kwa hiyo watu wakamnungʼunikia Mose, wakisema, “Tunywe nini?”
25 And he cried vnto the Lord, and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were sweete: there he made them an ordinance and a law, and there he proued them,
Ndipo Mose akamlilia Bwana, naye Bwana akamwonyesha kipande cha mti. Akakitupa ndani ya maji, nayo maji yakawa matamu. Huko Bwana akawapa amri na sheria na huko akawajaribu.
26 And sayd, if thou wilt diligently hearken, O Israel, vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that, which is right in his sight, and wilt giue eare vnto his commandements, and keepe all his ordinances, then will I put none of these diseases vpon thee, which I brought vpon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Mungu akasema, “Kama mkisikiliza kwa bidii sauti ya Bwana Mungu wenu na kuyafanya yaliyo sawa machoni pake, kama mkiyatii maagizo yake na kuzishika amri zake zote, sitaleta juu yenu ugonjwa wowote niliowaletea Wamisri, kwa kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, niwaponyaye.”
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelue fountaines of water, and seuentie palme trees, and they camped thereby the waters.
Kisha wakafika Elimu, mahali palipokuwa na chemchemi kumi na mbili, na miti sabini ya mitende, wakapiga kambi huko karibu na maji.
