< Exodus 14 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
“Di fis Israël yo pou yo vire fè bak, e fè kan devan Pi-Hahiroth antre Migdol ak lanmè a. Nou va fè kan devan Baal-Tsephon, anfas li, bò kote lanmè a.
3 And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
Paske Farawon va di de fis Israël yo: ‘Y ap mache byen egare nan peyi a; dezè a gen tan fèmen yo ladann.’
4 And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
Konsa Mwen va andisi kè Farawon e li va kouri dèyè yo. Epi Mwen va onore pa Farawon avèk tout lame li a, e Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.” Se konsa yo te fè.
5 And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
Lè wa Égypte la te avèti ke pèp la te sove ale, Farawon avèk sèvitè li yo te vin gen yon chanjman kè anvè pèp la. Yo te di: “Kisa sa ye nou fin fè la a, ke nou kite Israël ale pou kite sèvis nou yo?”
6 So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
Alò, li te prepare cha li, e te pran pèp li a avèk li.
7 having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
Epi li te pran sis-san cha byen chwazi, ansanm ak tout lòt cha an Égypte yo avèk gwo chèf sou yo tout.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand.
SENYÈ a te andisi kè Farawon, wa Égypte la, e li te kouri dèyè fis Israël yo. Paske se ak gwo kouraj ke Israël te soti.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te kouri dèyè yo avèk tout cheval yo ak cha Farawon yo, chevalye li yo, avèk lame li, e yo te vin parèt sou yo kanpe bò kote lanmè a, akote Pi-Hihroth, anfas Baal-Tsephon.
10 And Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
Pandan Farawon t ap pwoche, fis Israël yo te gade, e vwala, Ejipsyen yo t ap mache dèyè yo. Yo te vin pè anpil, epi fis Israël yo te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a.
11 and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
Alò yo te di a Moïse: “Èske se paske pa gen tonm an Égypte ke ou mennen nou pati pou mouri nan dezè a? Poukisa ou te aji avèk nou konsa, pou fè nou sòti an Égypte?
12 Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
Èske se pa pawòl ke nou te pale ou an Égypte la lè nou te di: ‘Pa deranje nou pou nou ka sèvi Ejipsyen yo?’ Paske li t ap pi bon pou nou pou sèvi Ejipsyen yo pase pou nou ta mouri nan dezè a.”
13 And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
Men Moïse te di a pèp la: “Pa pè anyen! Kanpe la pou wè delivrans SENYÈ a va acheve pou nou jodi a. Paske Ejipsyen yo ke nou wè jodi a, nou p ap wè yo ankò jiska jamè.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
SENYÈ a va goumen pou nou pandan nou rete an silans.”
15 and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Poukisa w ap kriye ban Mwen konsa? Di pèp la avanse.
16 And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
Epi pou ou menm, leve baton ou an anlè. Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou fann li. Konsa, fis Israël yo va pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch.
17 And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
Pou Mwen, gade byen, Mwen va fè kè Ejipsyen yo di pou yo kouri antre dèyè yo. Konsa, Mwen va jwenn onè sou Farawon an avèk tout lame li ak cha li yo avèk kavalye li yo.
18 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
Alò, Ejipsyen yo va vin konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen vin onore pa Farawon, pa cha li yo, ak kavalye li yo.”
19 And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed from before them and stood behind them.
Zanj Bondye a ki t ap prale devan kan Israël la te vin deplase e te kanpe dèyè yo; epi pilye nwaj la te deplase kite devan yo, pou te kanpe dèyè yo.
20 And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
Alò li te vin divize kan Égypte la ak kan Israël la. Te gen nwaj la ansanm avèk tenèb la, men li te bay limyè nan nwit lan. Konsa youn pa t pwoche lòt pandan tout nwit lan.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
Alò Moïse te lonje men l sou lanmè a; epi SENYÈ a te bale lanmè a pa yon van lès byen fò tout lannwit. Li te fè lanmè a vin tounen tè sèch, e dlo a te vin fann.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
Fis Israël yo te pase nan mitan lanmè a sou tè sèch, e dlo a te vin tankou yon miray pou yo sou men dwat yo ak sou men goch yo.
23 And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
Alò, Ejipsyen yo te vin kouri dèyè yo, e tout cheval Farawon, avèk cha li yo, avèk kavalye li yo te antre kouri dèyè yo nan mitan lanmè a.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians,
A la vèy nan maten, SENYÈ a te gade anba sou lame Ejipsyen yo, sou pilye a dife avèk nwaj yo, e Li te mennen lame Ejipsyen an nan yon gwo konfizyon.
25 and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
Li te retire wou cha yo, e yo te mal a kondwi. Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te di: “Annou sove ale kite Israël, paske SENYÈ a ap goumen pou yo kont Ejipsyen yo.”
26 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou lanmè a pou dlo a kab retounen vin sou Ejipsyen yo, sou cha yo, ak sou kavalye yo.”
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Alò, Moise te lonje men li sou lanmè a, e lanmè a te retounen nan eta nòmal li nan granmmaten, pandan Ejipsyen yo t ap sove ale tou kontra li. Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Ejipsyen yo nan mitan lanmè a.
28 and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
Dlo a te retounen e te kouvri cha yo avèk kavalye yo, e menm tout lame Farawon ki te antre nan lanmè a dèyè yo. Pa t menm gen youn nan yo ki te rete.
29 But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
Men fis Israël yo te mache sou tè sèch pase nan mitan lanmè a, e dlo a te vin tankou yon mi pou yo ni sou men dwat yo ni sou men goch yo.
30 So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a nan men a Ejipsyen yo, e Israël te wè Ejipsyen yo ki te mouri sou bò lanmè a.
31 And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
Lè Israël te wè gran pwisans ke SENYÈ a te sèvi kont Ejipsyen yo, tout Pèp la te krent SENYÈ a, e yo te kwè nan SENYÈ a ak sèvitè li a, Moïse.
