< Exodus 15 >
1 Then Moses sings—and the sons of Israel—this song to YHWH, and they speak, saying, “I sing to YHWH, For triumphing He has triumphed; The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
Ndipo Mose ndi Aisraeli anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi: “Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wakwezeka mʼchigonjetso. Kavalo ndi wokwera wake, Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja.
2 My strength and song is YAH, And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.
Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi nyimbo yanga; ndiye chipulumutso changa. Iye ndiye Mulungu wanga, ndipo ndidzamutamanda, Mulungu wa makolo anga, ine ndidzamukweza.
3 YHWH [is] a man of battle; YHWH [is] His Name.
Yehova ndi wankhondo; Yehova ndilo dzina lake.
4 Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He has cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk in the Red Sea!
Magaleta a Farao ndi asilikali ake ankhondo Iye wawaponya mʼnyanja. Akatswiri ankhondo amphamvu a Farao amizidwa mʼNyanja Yofiira.
5 The depths cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.
Nyanja yakuya inawaphimba; Iwo anamira pansi ngati mwala.”
6 Your right hand, O YHWH, Has become honorable in power; Your right hand, O YHWH, Crushes an enemy.
Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja ndi laulemerero chifukwa cha mphamvu zake. Ndithu Yehova, dzanja lanu lamanja linaphwanya mdani.
7 And in the abundance of Your excellence You throw down Your withstanders, You send forth Your wrath—It consumes them as stubble.
Ndi ulemerero wanu waukulu, munagonjetsa okutsutsani. Inu munatumiza mkwiyo wanu waukulu; ndipo unawapsereza ngati udzu.
8 And by the wind of Your anger Waters have been heaped together; Flowings have stood as a heap; Depths have been congealed In the heart of a sea.
Ndi mpweya wotuluka mʼmphuno mwanu madzi anawunjikana pamodzi. Nyanja yakuya ija inasanduka madzi owuma gwaa kufika pansi.
9 The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; My soul is filled with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroys them—
Mdaniyo anati, “Ine ndidzawalondola, ndipo ndidzawagwira. Ndidzagawa chuma chawo; ndiye chokhumba changa chidzakwaniritsidwa. Ine ndidzasolola lupanga langa, ndi mkono wanga ndidzawawononga.”
10 You have blown with Your wind The sea has covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.
Koma Inu munawuzira mphepo yanu, ndipo nyanja inawaphimba. Iwo anamira ngati chitsulo mʼmadzi amphamvu.
11 Who [is] like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who [is] like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?
Ndithu Yehova, pakati pa milungu, ndani afanana nanu? Inu amene muli woyera, ndiponso wotamandika wolemekezeka, chifukwa cha ntchito zanu, zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa?
12 You have stretched out Your right hand—Earth swallows them!
Munatambasula dzanja lanu lamanja ndipo dziko linawameza.
13 You have led forth in Your kindness The people whom You have redeemed. You have led on in Your strength To Your holy habitation.
Ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika mudzatsogolera anthu amene munawawombola. Ndi mphamvu zanu munawatsogolera ku malo anu woyera.
14 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain has seized inhabitants of Philistia.
Anthu amitundu ina anamva za mbiriyi ndipo ananjenjemera ndi mantha, mantha woopsa agwira anthu a dziko la Filisiti.
15 Then chiefs of Edom have been troubled; Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling seizes them! All inhabitants of Canaan have melted!
Tsopano mafumu a ku Edomu agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu, otsogolera a dziko la Mowabu akunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndipo anthu a ku Kanaani asungunuka ndi mantha.
16 Terror and dread fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm They are still as a stone, Until Your people pass over, O YHWH; Until the people pass over Whom You have purchased.
Onse agwidwa ndi mantha woopsa. Popeza anaona mphamvu zanu zazikulu, iwo ayima chilili ngati mwala mpaka anthu anu, Inu Yehova atadutsa; inde mpaka atadutsa anthu amene munawagula.
17 You bring them in, and plant them In a mountain of Your inheritance, A fixed place for Your dwelling You have made, O YHWH; A sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established;
Inu mudzawalowetsa ndi kuwakhazikitsa pa phiri lanu. Pa malo pamene Inu Yehova munawapanga kuti muzikhalapo; malo wopatulika amene Inu Ambuye munawakonza ndi manja anu.
18 YHWH reigns—[for] all time and forever!”
“Yehova adzalamula mpaka muyaya.”
19 For the horse of Pharaoh has gone in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH turns back the waters of the sea on them, and the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Akavalo a Farao, magaleta ndi oyendetsa akavalo atalowa mʼnyanja, Yehova anawabwezera madziwo mʼnyanja ndi kuwamiza, koma Aisraeli anawoloka nyanjayo powuma.
20 And Miriam the inspired one, sister of Aaron, takes the timbrel in her hand, and all the women go out after her, with timbrels and with choruses;
Ndipo Miriamu mneneri wamkazi, mlongo wa Aaroni anatenga zoyimbira ndipo akazi onse anamutsatira pambuyo, akuyimba ndi zoyimbira ndi kuvina.
21 and Miriam answers to them: “Sing to YHWH, For triumphing He has triumphed; The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
Miriamu anawayimbira nyimbo iyi: “Imbirani Yehova, chifukwa iye wapambana. Kavalo ndi wokwerapo wake Iye wawamiza mʼnyanja.”
22 And Moses causes Israel to journey from the Red Sea, and they go out to the wilderness of Shur, and they go three days in the wilderness, and have not found water,
Ndipo Mose anatsogolera Israeli kuchoka ku nyanja yofiira ndi kupita ku chipululu cha Suri. Anayenda mʼchipululu masiku atatu wosapeza madzi.
23 and they come to Marah, and have not been able to drink the waters of Marah, for they [are] bitter; therefore [one] has called its name Marah.
Ndipo anafika ku Mara. Koma sanathe kumwa madzi akumeneko chifukwa anali owawa. (Ndi chifukwa chake malowo amatchedwa Mara).
24 And the people murmur against Moses, saying, “What do we drink?”
Tsono anthu aja anadandaulira Mose ndi kumufunsa kuti, “Kodi tikumwa chiyani?”
25 And he cries to YHWH, and YHWH shows him a tree, and he casts [it] into the waters, and the waters become sweet. He has made a statute for them there, and an ordinance, and He has tried them there,
Ndipo Mose anapemphera kwa Yehova, ndipo Yehova anamuonetsa kamtengo. Iye anakaponya mʼmadzimo ndipo madzi anakhala abwino. Kumeneko Yehova anawayikira lamulo ndi maweruziro. Kumenekonso Yehova anawayesa.
26 and He says, “If you really listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and do that which is right in His eyes, and have listened to His commands, and kept all His statutes, none of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on you, for I, YHWH, am healing you.”
Yehova anati, “Ngati inu mudzamvetsa bwino mawu anga, kuchita zolungama, kumvera malamulo anga ndi kusamalitsa zimene ndikukuwuzani ndiye kuti Ine sindidzayika pa inu matenda amene ndinayika pa anthu a ku Igupto popeza ndine Yehova amene ndimakuchiritsani.”
27 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the waters.
Kenaka anafika ku Elimu, kumene kunali akasupe khumi ndi awiri ndi mitengo ya migwalangwa makumi asanu ndi awiri, ndipo anamanga misasa yawo kumeneko pafupi ndi madzi.
