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.
Khona oMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlabelela lelihubo eNkosini; bakhuluma bathi: Ngizahlabelela iNkosi, ngoba iphakeme isibili. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
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.
INkosi ingamandla lehubo lami, isibe kimi lusindiso, lo nguNkulunkulu wami, ngakho ngizamdumisa, unguNkulunkulu kababa, ngakho ngizamphakamisa.
3 YHWH [is] a man of battle; YHWH [is] His Name.
INkosi yindoda yempi, iNkosi libizo layo.
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!
Inqola zikaFaro lebutho lakhe ikuphosele olwandle, lokhetho lwezinduna zakhe lwacwiliswa oLwandle oluBomvu.
5 The depths cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.
Inziki zabasibekela; behlela ekujuleni njengelitshe.
6 Your right hand, O YHWH, Has become honorable in power; Your right hand, O YHWH, Crushes an enemy.
Isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sidunyisiwe ngamandla; isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sisiphahlazile isitha.
7 And in the abundance of Your excellence You throw down Your withstanders, You send forth Your wrath—It consumes them as stubble.
Njalo ngobukhulu bokuphakama kwakho uchithile abakuvukelayo; uthumele ulaka lwakho oluvuthayo, lwabaqeda njengezidindi.
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.
Langokuvuthela kwamakhala akho amanzi abuthelelwa; impophoma zema njengenqumbi; izinziki zajiya enhliziyweni yolwandle.
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—
Isitha sathi: Ngizaxotsha, ngifice, ngehlukanise impango; isiloyiso sami sizasutha bona, ngizahwatsha inkemba yami, isandla sami sizababhubhisa.
10 You have blown with Your wind The sea has covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.
Waphephetha ngomoya wakho, ulwandle lwabasibekela; batshona njengomnuso emanzini alamandla.
11 Who [is] like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who [is] like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?
Ngubani onjengawe, Nkosi, phakathi kwabonkulunkulu? Ngubani onjengawe olodumo ebungcweleni, owesabekayo ezindunyisweni, esenza izimangaliso?
12 You have stretched out Your right hand—Earth swallows them!
Welulile isandla sakho sokunene, umhlaba wabaginya.
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.
Ukhokhele ngomusa wakho lesisizwe osihlengileyo; wasihola ngamandla akho endaweni yakho yokuhlala yobungcwele bakho.
14 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain has seized inhabitants of Philistia.
Izizwe zizwile, ziyathuthumela; umhelo ubabambile abahlali beFilisti.
15 Then chiefs of Edom have been troubled; Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling seizes them! All inhabitants of Canaan have melted!
Ngalesosikhathi izinduna zeEdoma zizasanganiseka, iziphathamandla zakoMowabi, ukuthuthumela kwazibamba, bonke abahlali beKhanani bazancibilika.
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.
Ukwethuka lokwesaba kuzabehlela; ngobukhulu bengalo yakho bazathula njengelitshe, size sichaphe isizwe sakho, Nkosi, size sichaphe isizwe osithengileyo.
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;
Uzabangenisa, ubahlanyele entabeni yelifa lakho, indawo oyenzileyo, Nkosi, ukuthi uhlale kuyo, indawo engcwele eziyimisileyo izandla zakho, Nkosi.
18 YHWH reigns—[for] all time and forever!”
INkosi izabusa kuze kube phakade lanininini.
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.
Ngoba ibhiza likaFaro langena olwandle lenqola yakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza, iNkosi yasibuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo, kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle.

UMiriyamu umprofethikazi, udadewabo kaAroni, wasethatha isigujana esandleni sakhe; bonke abesifazana basebephuma ngemva kwakhe, lezigujana lemigido.
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!”
UMiriyamu wasebaphendula wathi: Hlabelelani iNkosi, ngoba inqobe ngodumo. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
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,

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.

Abantu basebekhonona bemelene loMozisi besithi: Sizanathani?
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,
Wasekhala eNkosini. INkosi yasimtshengisa isihlahla, asiphosela emanzini, amanzi asesiba mnandi. Yabamisela khona isimiso lesimiselo, lalapho yabalinga,

yasisithi: Uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo, libeke indlebe emilayweni yayo, ligcine zonke izimiso zayo, kangiyikwehlisela phezu kwenu lasinye sezifo engazehlisela phezu kwamaGibhithe; ngoba ngiyiNkosi elelaphayo.
27 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the waters.
