< Exodus 15 >

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his 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 JAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
“Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden, me dwom ne me nkwagyeɛ. Ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn, na mɛkamfo no. Ɔyɛ mʼagya Onyankopɔn—Mɛma no so.
3 Jehovah is a warrior. Jehovah is his name.
Awurade yɛ ɔkofoɔ; Aane, ne din ne Awurade.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned 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 covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Nsuo akata wɔn so. Wɔmemem subunu mu sɛ ɛboɔ.
6 Your right hand, Jehovah, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Jehovah, shattered the enemy.
Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, tumi ne animuonyam ahyɛ no ma. Wo nsa nifa, Ao, Awurade, atete atamfoɔ mu pasaa.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath. It consumed them like stubble.
“Wo tumi kɛseɛ no mu, wotuu wɔn a wɔtia wo no guiɛ. Womaa wʼabufuhyeɛ bɛhyee wɔn sɛ ogya hye ɛserɛ.
8 With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.
Wogu ahome a, nsuo mu pae. Ɛgyinaa sɛ afasuo ma ɛpo taa ɛfa ne ɛfa.
9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy 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 blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ne mframa maa ɛpo kataa wɔn so. Wɔmemem sɛ sumpii wɔ subunu no mu.
11 Who is like you, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working 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 stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
“Wotenee wo nsa nifa na asase menee wɔn.
13 "In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling.
Woadi nnipa a wogyee wɔn no anim, wʼayamyɛ mu. Wonam anwanwakwan so adi wɔn anim de wɔn aba wʼasase kronkron no so.
14 When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.
Amanaman tee asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ma wɔn ho popoeɛ. Ehu aka nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Edom mpanimfoɔ ho adwiri wɔn. Atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ Moab ho woso. Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Kanaan nyinaa abɔ huboa.
16 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, Jehovah, 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 shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Jehovah, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Jehovah, which 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 Jehovah shall reign forever and ever."
“Awurade bɛdi ɔhene akɔsi daa.”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked 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 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
Ɛhɔ na Odiyifoɔ baa Miriam a ɔyɛ Aaron nuabaa faa twene bi bɔ de dii mmaa no anim ma wɔsaeɛ.
21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his 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 Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no 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 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Wɔduruu Mara no, wɔantumi annom ɛhɔ nsuo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ nwono. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mara no; aseɛ ne: Nwononwono.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
Afei, nnipa no danee wɔn ani tiaa Mose sɛ, “Osukɔm nku yɛn anaa?”
25 Then he cried to Jehovah. Jehovah showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;
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 said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals 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 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they camped there by the waters.
Wɔbaa Elim a ɛhɔ na na nsubura dumienu ne mmɛdua aduɔson wɔ enti, wɔsisii wɔn ntomadan, tenaa nsubura no ho.
