< 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.
Afei, Mose ne Israelfoɔ too saa dwom yi de kamfoo Awurade: “Mɛto dwom mama Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, wadi nkonim animuonyam mu; Wato ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ no agu ɛpo mu.
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.
“Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagyeɛ. Ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Onyankopɔn—Mɛma no so.
3 YHWH [is] a man of battle; YHWH [is] His Name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofoɔ; Aane, ne din ne Awurade.
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!
Farao nteaseɛnam ne nʼakodɔm, wato wɔn agu Ama wɔamem Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ mu. Misraim akofoɔ atitire awuwu asorɔkye ase.
5 The depths cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.
Nsuo akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem subunu mu sɛ ɛboɔ.
6 Your right hand, O YHWH, Has become honorable in power; Your right hand, O YHWH, Crushes an enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, tumi ne animuonyam ahyɛ no ma. Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, atete atamfoɔ mu pasaa.
7 And in the abundance of Your excellence You throw down Your withstanders, You send forth Your wrath—It consumes them as stubble.
“Wo tumi kɛseɛ no mu, wotuu wɔn a wɔtia wo no guiɛ. Womaa wʼabufuhyeɛ bɛhyee wɔn sɛ ogya hye ɛserɛ.
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.
Wogu ahome a, nsuo mu pae. Ɛgyinaa sɛ afasuo ma ɛpo taa ɛfa ne ɛfa.
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—
Ɔtamfoɔ de ahomasoɔ kaeɛ sɛ, ‘Mɛtaa wɔn, mɛto wɔn, asɛe wɔn. Na makyɛ afodeɛ no mu. Mɛtwe mʼakofena wɔ wɔn so atwitwa wɔn asinasini.’
10 You have blown with Your wind The sea has covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa maa ɛpo kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subunu no mu.
11 Who [is] like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who [is] like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?
Hwan na ɔte sɛ Awurade wɔ anyame mu? Hwan na ɔte sɛ wo? Ɔberempɔn wɔ kronkronyɛ mu; deɛ yɛde surokronkron ma nʼanimuonyam, na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛyɛfoɔ Onyankopɔn.
12 You have stretched out Your right hand—Earth swallows them!
“Wotenee wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
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.
Woadi nnipa a wogyee wɔn no anim, wʼayamyɛ mu. Wonam anwanwakwan so adi wɔn anim de wɔn aba wʼasase kronkron no so.
14 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain has seized inhabitants of Philistia.
Amanaman tee asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ma wɔn ho popoeɛ. Ehu aka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
15 Then chiefs of Edom have been troubled; Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling seizes them! All inhabitants of Canaan have melted!
Edom mpanimfoɔ ho adwiri wɔn. Atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab ho woso. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa abɔ huboa.
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.
Ehu ne suro afa wɔn so. Ao, Awurade, wo tumi enti, wɔremma yɛn so! Wo nkurɔfoɔ a wotɔɔ wɔn bɛtwa wɔn ho asomdwoeɛ mu.
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;
Wode wɔn bɛba abɛdua wɔn wɔ wo bepɔ so, wo ara wo efie hɔ, Awurade— Kronkronbea a woasiesie sɛ wo tenabea no.
18 YHWH reigns—[for] all time and forever!”
“Awurade bɛdi ɔhene akɔsi daa.”
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.
Farao apɔnkɔ, nʼapɔnkɔkafoɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam pɛɛ sɛ wɔfa ɛpo no mu; nanso, Awurade buu nsuo afasuo no guu wɔn so ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ no nam mu sɛ asase wesee no.
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;
Ɛhɔ na Odiyifoɔ baa Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabaa faa twene bi bɔ de dii mmaa no anim ma wɔsaeɛ.
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!”
Ɛnna Miriam too saa dwom yi: “Monto dwom mma Awurade na wadi nkonim animuonyam mu. Wama ɔpɔnkɔ ne ne sotefoɔ amem ɛpo ase.”
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,
Afei, Mose dii Israelfoɔ no anim ne wɔn tu firii Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho kɔɔ Sur ɛserɛ so. Na wɔnantee ɛserɛ no so nnansa a wɔannya nsuo annom.
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.
Wɔduruu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsuo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ nwono. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; aseɛ ne: Nwononwono.
24 And the people murmur against Moses, saying, “What do we drink?”
Afei, nnipa no danee wɔn ani tiaa Mose sɛ, “Osukɔm nku yɛn anaa?”
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,
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmoa wɔn, na Awurade kyerɛɛ no dua bi. Na ɔtoo dubaa no too nsuo no mu, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ maa wɔtumi nomeeɛ. Mara hɔ na Awurade hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa wɔn sɛ,
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.”
“Sɛ mobɛtie Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nne, na moayɛ ɔsetie, ayɛ ade tenenee deɛ a, yadeɛ a mema ɛbɔɔ Misraimfoɔ no, meremma bi mmɔ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade a mesa mo nyarewa.”
27 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the waters.
Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na nsubura dumienu ne mmɛdua aduɔson wɔ enti, wɔsisii wɔn ntomadan, tenaa nsubura no ho.
