< Exodus 14 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it 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 and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
Fero ga-asị banyere ụmụ Izrel, ‘Ha na-awagharị gburugburu ala ahụ nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya ebe ọzara riri ha.’
4 and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do 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 And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
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 harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
Na-atụfughị oge, Fero rigoro nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya, duru ndị agha ya ịchụso ha.
7 and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
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 and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high 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 pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-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 Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
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 say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from 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 Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?”
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 And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
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 YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
Nọrọnụ jii. Onyenwe anyị ga-alụrụ unu ọgụ.”
15 And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
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 you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
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—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by 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 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by 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 Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
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 comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to the other all the night.
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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
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 and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
Ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼetiti osimiri ahụ gafee. Mmiri osimiri ahụ ghọọrọ mgbidi nʼaka nri ha ma nʼaka ekpe ha.
23 And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
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 and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp of the Egyptians,
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 and turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting 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 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on 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 And Moses stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off the Egyptians in the midst 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 and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even 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 And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right 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 and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
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 sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant 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.
